F-Zero Might Find Home on Wii U

IGN:

The last console-based F-Zero game was released for the GameCube in August of 2003. (F-Zero GP Legend arrived on the GBA about a year later.) For those of you doing the math, that's almost a decade - a decade without one of Nintendo's more iconic and notable franchises.

Used to love F-Zero on the SNES!

Snookies124404d ago

Hell yes man, and F-Zero GX on Gamecube was one of the greatest games I have memories playing! Seeing that game in HD with the high speeds, crazy courses, and amazing backgrounds would just... Blow my mind...

I honestly said, if Nintendo announces a new F-Zero, THAT will get me to buy their console. As much as I freaking love Zelda, Metroid, Mario, etc. A new F-Zero would do it for me, simply because of all the awesome memories of multiplayer on that game.

If Nintendo dev. new CONTRA, GRADIUS,R-TYPE SHOOTER,METROID,MARIO some sidescrolling games
I would buy wii-U.....

bring back SNES days.

ChickeyCantor4403d ago

Contra, Gradius = Konami.
R-Type = Irem.

It's not up to Nintendo unless they ask for a request.

There is Gradius-Rebirth, Castlevania-Rebirth, Contra-rebirth.

All Wii-Ware titles. Should be downloadable for Wii-U as well.

Hell yeah for this one!

This and earthbound would make my day if they found their place on the wii u

Throw some Star Fox into the mix and it's a day 1 purchase for me.

F-Zero is one of the greatest if not the greatest futuristic racing titles ever developed. I still play F-Zero GX on my Nintendo Gamecube entertainment system to this very day. The replay value is endless, and I have never hovered across so many excellent well done hand crafted courses in my Nintendo career. I cannot wait for a next generation future release of this title.

F-Zero next gen has a high probability of featuring online play on the Nintendo 3DS entertainment system, or the Nintendo Wii U entertainment system. Either platform is fine by me. Day one purchase. This series has yet to let me down, and likely never will.

Nintendo back cataloged games such as F-Zero and many others is just a simple reminder of how many AAA quality exclusive titles Nintendo can pull out of the hat at any given moment. With a possible F-Zero, Mario Kart, and Concept Grand Prix, Nintendo platforms may very well become the number one pit stop to get your racing fix.

All of this AAA quality high speed greatness can be found only on Nintendo platforms.

Rated E For Everyone

DrPepper4404d ago

Ex-Nintendo designer says no new F-Zero due to Mario Kart, low sales & high costs

F-Zero has been a dormant franchise for a couple of decades now. In fact, if it weren’t for the obvious appearances that Captain Falcon has been making in Super Smash Bros. games, you could get the impression that Nintendo has forgotten all about the series.

Have a new F-Zero hit within the first 2 years of Switch 2 and watch it sell away.

Immagaiden304d ago

Can’t believe Nintendo chose a remaster for Cruise N Blast over F-Zero GX

GhostScholar304d ago

I wish they would see the license then.

Knightofelemia304d ago

Maybe Nintendo should learn to drop the prices on their games if they want more sales. I have seen games that are 4 years old on store shelves at full price.

Rockstar304d ago

I've had treasure tracker for the switch bookmarked since it was released waiting for the price to hit my sweet spot of 30 bucks...still waiting...

blackblades304d ago

We haven't seen a lot of franchise's from Nintendo. Mario will always stay as the shit stain of Nintendo. Mario games are fun and Kirby but some times you get tired of seeing Mario everywhere literally everywhere. They are playing it safe.

It's Time for a New F-Zero Game

F-Zero is one of Nintendo's most neglected franchises, but the high-speed racing title could stand out from Mario Kart and utilize modern graphics.

We are probably only getting a new one when Miyamoto dies.

ZeekQuattro485d ago

There's a rumor GX is being ported over but we know how that goes.

Minute Man 721484d ago

No....the last one sold like 20k or something lower that a limbo pole

z2g484d ago

It is, but it’s a bummer it would most likely be held back by Nintendos weak hardware
