I swear to god if they put Retro on Wave Race duty...

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Mario 3D at launch, Wave Race possibly at launch

THIS IS THE N64 2

All on Cartridges!

 

[BorkBork]

Give it to me.

I got Waverace over Mario at launch and did not regret it. This is how much I love Waverace 64.

 

[Plinko]

That water with Switch graphics...this has to happen.

 

[Rymuth]

 

[Graphics Horse]

Sad that the new guest track for Mario Kart had to leak this way

 

[McGruber21]

Wave Race with Nintendo characters???!

 

[18-Volt]

Watch it become a mobile game.

Watch it become a Virtual Console game.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

GAF it's clearly a mobile game, you guys!

 

[dreamlongdead]

Hell yeah! I absolutely loved Wave Race 64.

Time for it to come back!

 

[marc^o^]

Hyperventilating.

You know... for some reason, I don't even doubt the possibility of this. Can someone check whether a similar trademark was renewed for F-Zero when that DLC came out?

Way to crush everyone's dreams haha

 

[Piers]

Watch it be Mii'd the fuck out like 3DS Pilotwings was...

Yup.
It'll be an expanded take on Wii Sports Resort jet-ski game, much like the plane was for Pilot Wings Resort.

 

[wild wild rice]

I highly highly highly highly doubt this is Retro's game. Just sayin'. Highly. .

damn

Sad that the new guest track for Mario Kart had to leak this way

wow my hope was already stillborn because i'm mostly assuming it's for a VC release but this is some next-level bitter laughter i'm feeling now.

Ricky Winterborn is playable in Mario Kart now.

1080 getting a switch remake packaged with Wave Race.

 

[Scum]

Nintendo needs to revive their sport games again.

This right here. 1080 Snowboarding next.

 

[Lupin3]

If this is anything like WR64, I'm there day one for sure!

 

[LordKano]

I highly highly highly highly doubt this is Retro's game. Just sayin'. Highly. .

It would fit tho, they made Mario Kart 7 so they're kinda accustomed to sports/racing game.

 

[wild wild rice]

Watch it be Mii'd the fuck out like 3DS Pilotwings was...

Honestly, I thought about the idea of a WaveRace Resort and thought it would be cool. Of course it would have the jet ski racing, but all sorts of water sports/activities could be implemented and that would get the IP to fit the current mold/expectation of video games by adding social events, etc.

[Corleth the Fey]

Oh wow! I was all - no Zelda at launch - prolly no Switch at launch. But you could just pull me straight back in with a Waverace, Nintendo baby.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

Sad that the new guest track for Mario Kart had to leak this way

You're wrong. The guest track is without a doubt Diddy Kong Racing's. The karts in Mario Kart don't turn into jet skis, dummy

Spoiler

. Not yet

 

[Dark_3nergy]

YES

 

[Oersted]

VC? Remake? New title?

Goddamn it I´m hyped xD

Watch it become a mobile game.

Can't wait to play it on my iPhone.

This is just stupid.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Its about time for a new one but I can't say I really understand the love for this series. Don't get me wrong Wave Race 64 is fantastic but there's a lot of IPs I'd put ahead of it. F-Zero for instance, which I strongly believe is in development.

 

[wild wild rice]

It would fit tho, they made Mario Kart 7 so they're kinda accustomed to sports/racing game.

Possibly... that would just be too damn good to imagine though. My favorite racing franchise coming from one of my favorite devs...

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Oh bby pls

 

[Soul Lab]

listening tho this while refreshing the thread.

I LOVE THIS SERIES!!

 

[Mortemis]

Y'all need to quit playing with me

No fucking way

No 😭😭😭

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Consider this: If it is a new Wave Race there is a high likelihood that some of you will be disappointed in it. What could Retro do with a modern Wave Race that would help it avoid the fate of the "disappointing" Bluestorm?

I enjoyed Bluestorm personally but a lot of people seem to dislike it greatly.

 

[Sebastiano]

Watch it become a Virtual Console game.

Yeah, that's my guess too for now, the Game Boy game on 3DS eShop, don't want to be hyped for nothing (but a new game would be wonderful, if it isn't like Pilotwings on 3DS).

 

[Retrobox]

Once again, Nintendo making people hyped for something that doesn't exist yet.

 

[PrankT]

MAXIMUM POWER!

 

[spookyfish]

Please bring back all your sports games like Wave Race, 1080 and NBA Courtside.

This right chere.

 

[Deadpool_X]

Sounds to me like the original Wave Race is just being rereleased on 3DS VC.

 

[Richie]

Mario 3D at launch, Wave Race possibly at launch

THIS IS THE N64 2

All on Cartridges!

With a repeteadly delayed Zelda that's the most ambitious in its franchise up to that point!

 

[orioto]

Give me my next gen Wave Race with 4 switch local play

 

[ASIS]

Is Wave Race 64 really that good to warrant such hype over a trademark?

 

[Marvie_3]

Oh hell yes. Please let this happen.

 

[Pyrrhus]

Don't play with my heart, you bastards.

I've had this idea for a new Wave Race in my mind for a while now, the gist of it is instead of jetskis you ride on these.

 

[wild wild rice]

Is Wave Race 64 really that good to warrant such hype over a trademark?

It's one of a kind. No other game has captured racing on water so well. The thought of a modern version is extremely appealing because of that.

Modern audeinces accustomed to today's content bloat would probably laugh at its paltry amount of tracks, modes, etc., but what is there is extremely quality and timeless as far as I'm concerned.

F zero when

 

[Herb Alpert]

That water with Switch graphics...this has to happen.

The miiverse guy will die from happiness to see such a beautiful water.

Yeah.

Splashdown on PlayStation 2 was really good too.
