Will We See F-Zero UX?

GenGAME writes: Where in the heck is F-Zero?

More specifically F-Zero X, since its tone fits better as a potential Wii U title. F-Zero is what I’d call an under-appreciated staple in Nintendo consoles. It’s usually there as a supplement to games you have, and not the exact day one purchase, but they’re quality games nonetheless.

Every game that skipped the first Wii should get an update/new game for the WiiU. A new F-Zero would be so welcomed.

This should be Nintendo's own Gran Turismo/Forza like game for its system

Erimgard4833d ago

I'm sure they could come up with some interesting ways to use the GamePad on the Wii U. Not to mention, the Wii U actually has decent online for a change, so that broadens the multiplayer experience.

Funny you say; the F-Zero game in Nintendo Land is actually pretty addicting (and challenging, particularly once you get past area 12), and that game primarily used motion sensing in the gamepad which worked pretty well.

My hope is Nintendo Land is a sign for which franchises will see new life on Wii U. Though at the same time I'm a tad worried about franchises like Kid Icarus and Star Fox since neither were featured.

Nintendo's full of surprises. Let's hope some of those fall into their fans' expectations.

If there were an HD F-Zero for the Wii U. I would buy the console immediately, enough said. I had way too much fun on GX back in the day not to.

"It still holds up well, just like the original F-Zero, but the next release is where F-Zero plummets into a nosedive."

Couldn't disagree more. Sega did an excellent job with F-Zero GX. It's my favorite in the series. Fast, beautiful, and very challenging.

legendoflex4833d ago

I think he's talking about sales.

silkylove4833d ago (Edited 4833d ago )

Oh, ok. That makes more sense. It wasn't a million seller like the previous one, but 650k isn't terrible. I don't know why Nintendo doesn't release another.

Nintendo needs a new F-Zero, Wave Race, and Excite Bike. Even if they were eShop downloads.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS55d ago (Edited 55d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi80d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure80d ago (Edited 80d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer81d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot81d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box80d ago (Edited 80d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno81d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay80d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno79d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK79d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
