My Gamecube has been boxed up for over a decade - I find the GC's library pretty jank outside of a handful of games (Killer 7, Fire Emblem, and the glorious F-Zero GX)- but I NEEDED to play F-Zero GX again on my HDTV. I dont currently own a wii so I recently bought a Carby solely to play it. Nearly 17 years after release, Im thoroughly convinced F-Zero GX is the best game ever released on a Nintendo console.
The first and best core collaboration between Nintendo and Sega - and they produced videogame perfection. The game was aimed squarely at the hardcore. Many Nintendo games go for that all ages, anyone can play style - this game left more casual gamers in the dust. Gameplay that takes literally years to master, perfect controls, crisp visuals, hype music, and completely unmatched sense of speed.
This is the only game that makes my stomach dip like im on a real life roller coaster in spots - and im playing a fucking videogame. Its one of those rare videogames that gives you that zen-like feel when you really GET it. Unlocking the AX courses is one of the most difficult tasks in gaming history - but all so rewarding. I could race on the track Aeropolis: Multiplex forever. So, so smooth.
Too bad I never had access to an F-Zero AX arcade machine...
So, Nintendo - why on earth have you not released F-Zero GX in proper HD on a modern console?
Why do we not have a single F-Zero game online?
Why has it been 16 YEARS (!) since the last proper F-Zero entry?
I need answers...
