Is this game doing well? Congrats to Shin'en if so.
I actually forgot DLC tracks were coming.

Best of luck to them. I can't even imagine how low the sales are on dlc for a downloadable Wii U game from a 3rd party publisher. Nintendo needs to buy them and give them the F-Zero license.
They would rather be independent and they seem happy with the sales of their games on Wii U.

If Nintendo would ever want to give them F-Zero to make they don't need to buy them, as they didn't buy Tantalus to make Zelda TP HD.
can't wait! I loved the game and I'll be there day one for the DLC
EDIT:
I think they were pretty happy with the sales on Nintendo platforms, even for their Wii U efforts. Especially for FAST RN. Plus, they are getting Nintendo support to get there on the retail shelves with this game.

Day 1 for the DLC and I'll buy the retail release if it comes stateside.

really scratches my wipeout itch.
Damn. Doesn't look like we're getting a physical release in the US. I'd pick that up for sure.

The lack of physical release in NA is killing me.
Why doesn't NA do the Europe program? I mean what else do they have to release this holiday other than Pokémon and Paper Mario?

Imagine their game on the NX!

No reason to think so. The retail package is 25. The base game digitally is 15. It'll be 5 at minimum considering the SteamWorld Collection is actually cheaper on disc than buying everything digitally (10+20+5).

These guys deserve every penny. FRN is easily in the top 10 Wii U games, indie or not.
Please God bring the physical release to North America

I agree. The track design, controls, and core mechanic were all problematic/subpar. I'm not seeing the F-ZERO comparisons outside the superficial, "it's a futuristic racer."
Godspeed to the folks that will enjoy, however.

Rochdale Trust for everything.
I'm willing to bet we'll get the Blue Falcon in this DLC. I can feel it!

Great. One of the best racers this gen (and the fastest anyway)

Maybe they couldn't because it may have been a pitch to Ninty and they hadn't said yes or no yet.
Fulcon Capital, close enough.

No, don't hold your breath on either.
This thing is coded to the very metal of the WiiU's PPC architecture most likely, given the performance they managed to eek out. This won't get ported anywhere probably.

Shin'en is doing just fine on Nintendo platforms.
I'd actually be interested in knowing how poor their sales have been on PS4.
They did port Nano Assault Neo X and Art of Balance to PS4, so I doubt they have technical issues with porting. But rumors so far are that sales are well below of what they achieve on Wii U so it's likely just very low priority for them.
Nano was a port up to WiiU to begin with, as was Art of Balance. FRN is the only game they've actually made purely for the WiiU and I think they had to push deep into its core to actually get the game to work as it does. This would complicate porting.
That said, ya, sales being trash probably make it a meaningless proposition from the get-go. And they recently confirmed their next project is with Nintendo.
