Dia Sero! What's the price and release date?
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.
Gameplay-wise, how does this actually compare to F-Zero? Is it particularly technical to play? The technicality of racing and its mechanics are a large part of what set the series apart and made it so enjoyable to me.
Or would playing this still just leave me wishing something could live up to F-Zero GX?

Plays more like Wipeout.
It doesn't play like F-Zero at all. From the feel to the actual race structure. You hardly ever see your opponents, for example. The only actual F-Zero comparison comes from the genre and sci-fi theme.
I see. That's unfortunate, Wipeout never really clicked with me.

When if I may ask
Its shit. The controls are floaty and imprecise and the AI Cheats the whole time making every race more about Lück than skillGameplay-wise, how does this actually compare to F-Zero?

Bollocks. The AI can and will overtaken you when they feel like it. Perfect Race or not, when the AI decides to overtaken you, you can go Max speed in the fastest vehicle but they'll still Zoom past you like you were driving a VW Polo.This is a very hyperbolic interpretation of the game. Different cars control differently, some more floaty or more easy to control than others and if you don't make mistakes you pretty much have a guaranteed win, so it's not (just) about luck.
This is the best game of this generation thus far IMO.
I'd really love for it to be ported to PC (or even PS4, but preferably PC). I want to see it at glorious 1080p with AA and AF.
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.
I haven't played it yet, but the DLC tracks all look similar in design to F-Zero GX tracks of yore.
All the while the gameplay looks a lot more weighted and not as twitchy as F-Zero. Which is completely fine, but it creates a discrepancy in looks and feel. If I went in, expecting F-Zero like gameplay, I might come out disappointed, since it looks the part, but plays differently.
Again - did not play it, but that's what I got from the trailers.
It actually doens't play like Fzero. In terms of feeling but also in terms of gameplay mechanics.

That's what I was trying to say: It doesn't look like it plays like F-Zero, but it looks a lot like F-Zero when it comes to the tracks.
Someone not paying close attention to the behavior and movement of the racers might come out disappointed, since the rest seems reminiscent of F-Zero.
It's just a case of mishandled expectations for some...
