It already has. We need a new rumor so that we can reboot into a new thread. I'm having rumor withdrawl real bad now.bgassassin said:

Speaking of SEGA....I dream of Daytona Cafe.
Even if Sega has to call it Sega Racing Classic Cafe. I'd die for a Daytona USA 3.
It's probably my most wanted game that hasn't been announced aside from a Phantasy Star V.

F-Zero AX/GX was an amazing effort by what was once known as Amusement Vision.

It doesn't have to be a sega/nintendo collaboration this time. The first two games were developed by EAD, and they were pretty good too.

It's obviously going for comedy, but I remember when the Revolution was first making the rounds of awareness and a coworker of mine thought that the system would actually allow you to do this. Like, literally stick your old-school NES/SNES/N64 carts into the console and play them. I told him he was crazy, but hoped for that possibility deep down inside.
I think they could have released a peripheral to do so, but that would not have been worth the money to them, I don't think. Better for business to resell the ROMs, for sure.

That Wire .gif needs to be retired.
Also 1UP has always been shitty about Nintendo. I remember after one E3 when they stood in a circle and ripped the GameCube for like 20 minutes.
Douches.

5?
MV, GX, GPL and Climax are 4 games.
BS F-Zero 2 was from EAD too but that is more like an expansion pack of the first one
F-Zero X Expansion Kit is just a part of F-Zero X
MV was a joint effort with NDCube
GX and AX came from the same development and are the same game for all intents and purposes (heavily tweaked controls, arcade setup with checkpoints and less tracks was all the difference between GX and AX)
GPL and Climax were joint efforts with suzak (worst devs to work on the series by far. these games felt so cheaply made and unremarkable)
the reason several people prefer F-Zero to be done internally is because the first 2 games are the ones that defined the whole series. MV might be the definitive version of 2D F-Zero and GX might be still a good looking game but their predecessors laid out everything and it was all Nintendo back then. Nintendo itself has the talent to make a good F-Zero game. they just don't want to do one because of low sales.
people also fail to realize that the most ambitious game of the series was F-Zero X and it came from EAD. the game was basically held back big time by the weak N64 but i'm sure that Nintendo could have done a game far better than GX if the GC tech was available at the time they made FZX.
This was leaked a month ago.

As you can see, it looks exactly as the project cafe unit youtube video yesterday.

Why do you keep on insisting that it isn't a fake. It's not a dev kit.
It's a crappy fan made mock up.

We're all pretty confident that the entire mock-up is fake and probably all concocted by the same group or multiple people trying to build off of each other's work. There are too many holes in it all. The first photos of the unit showed it sitting on a desk with a light on, without any power cables connected. It also looked disproportionate for actually inserting a disc into (disc slot looked too small). In the video you linked, the 6" screen is horribly disproportionate with the buttons and analog sticks.
In short, every instance is fake, fake-looking and very much not real. About as real the Revolution "GumShu" projector slide from so long ago.
EDIT: Wow, beaten multiple times over. Didn't even think of the modern Windows cases being a comparable shape and size, though. Well done!

Following that guy's link, though, it's fascinating how easily people are duped by this sort of thing. Looking at the size of the disc slot, the cables must be like, twice as big as the Wii AV cable jack. Guys, it's fake! Don't be dumb! You've got enough smarts to analyze what's there, so don't just ignore the obvious!
But it does take me back to the ol' IGN Boards days where you wanted to believe every wild rumor about Revolution.

I also love how pretty much all the photos are in a very odd setting, like on top of a perfectly clean table or on a spotless hardwood floor with no shots of what's onscreen, or a controller that matches.
If the packaging is really just a repurposed Windows Vista/7 case, that would explain why so many people are making Project Cafe phonies--they're easy to do!

i see your point.
i lumped the BS games as "expansions" since they use the same engine as the original and only have different courses/machines. that is almost FZX EK territory except that the BS game can't be appended to the original.
and there's really just 1 BS F-Zero game since there are only 4 ships and 5 tracks documented. the names are different for some reason i don't know.
i already explained how the GBA games are from 3rd parties along GX. that leaves just the first 3 games as full EAD efforts.

When I was a kid, I had a friend tell me all the time that he had an uncle who worked at Nintendo. I wanted to believe him, so I believed him. When I mentioned the uncle while riding in his parents' van, they cracked up and my friend joined in...."you believed that? BWHAHAHA!"
I'd like to say they didn't survive the trip, but instead I just cried inside.
(And to think that guy is a minister or something, now.)
