Man, a new F-Zero would be nice, but I don't think it will happen. I think we would be lucky to get a port of a title. They should have ported X to 3DS to create some interest again. Would have been nice in 3D.

F-ZERO GX producer Toshihiro Nagoshi open to working on the series again, would want new game to be challenging
- Thread starter Lant_War
- Start date
I bought that because I buy anything that even smells like F-zero in hopes of finding one, and Fast RMX did not feel like F-zero. Was too floaty.
Honestly Mario Kart 200cc is the closest I've gotten to the feeling of f-zero.
At some point Miyamoto said that beyond sales, they didn't know what else to do with F-Zero; but it's been 20 years, and even just adding an online 30 player mode to F-Zero GX would be significant enough imo
I think some of us need to pull back from the nostalgia and see if the game would sell well or not. A new Starfox is another. With that said SSwitch has been a huge success so I'd imagine both would do well.
I think the Switch would be worth trying another F-Zero; if only for the way the Switch seems to do really well at lifting obscure titles to greater awareness than they've ever enjoyed.
I think Nintendo execs like Miyamoto are dead wrong that F-Zero is boring and needs a new gimmick. However, I do think there may be an appeal challenge for the futuristic racer as a concept. That's the real issue for F-Zero; the average person seems attracted to vehicles they identify as cars and go-karts. Sci-fi hovercraft never found much purchase after the novelty of the first couple Wipeout games faded.
So a new F-Zero would have to be a really eye-catching game to get traction.

I think that would be a start! At the very least we would finally get the reminder of how poorly F-Zero GX sold.
I suppose there is a much bigger base of hardcore Nintendo fans than there were in the GameCube days, but even then the game is a straight racing game and it will not have the broad appeal and kids market that many Nintendo games easily tap into .

Maybe the new game for the anniversary got delayed bc of Covid
I'd rather see Namco take a shot tbh.
Looks way better, plays slightly worse.
F-Zero GX was the hardest game i've ever played in my life.
i don't know if keeping the series "challenging" is the best decision for moving units .

Besides his "Nintendo is for kids" remark, what else is so "lol" worthy about listening to Nagoshi?
Hell, I just mentioned this in another thread.
F-Zero had it's 30 year anniversary just this past November, and Nintendo didn't even fucking acknowledge it.
For 16 years of those 30, there has been absolutely nothing. It's not happening, it's never happening, and that fucking sucks.

As others have said, Switch would be an ideal platform to put out a game like this. This is the best chance another F-Zero has.

Some people on this forum have a bone to pick with him and Harada for whatever reason. It's really weird.
Actually wouldn't mind it, and somewhat makes sense. I mean I think Captain Falcon is far more well known as a heavy brawler from Smash than he is as a character from a futuristic racing game. Would probably perform better than an actual F-Zero, and that would lead the way for a proper racing game. I think with some of their less popular series like F-Zero and Starfox, Nintendo really just need to completely reiterate them and ignore what fans want, because obviously the fans alone aren't enough to make the game's successful. They're niche series for a reason.
Hopefully a bigger part of you knows F-Zero games won't sell enough to justify costs, opportunity or otherwise.
It was hard to 100% it but there was plenty of accessible stuff there for people who aren't into that.
as a kid who grew up loving wipeout it's always puzzled me why futuristic racers have just died out. we have the technology to make mind blowing futuristic racers, and it's just not happening
not necessarily sure if this is a nintendo thing more than an overall genre thing

Closest we got was the F-Zero minigame in Nintendo Land lol. And I guess F-Zero as part of the SNES Classic
You should be happy then, most futuristic racers that come out are pretty much just wipeout. Hell you got Pacer just last year from the people that made wipeout. Nothing close to F-Zero has been made besides one game that is on early access on steam.
This is about what I was thinking. F-Zero GX was already too hard, even compared to the SNES game.
Does Nagoshi sitll make games? He's an executive now. He can pull a Miyamoto and come back for special projects I guess.
Honestly they could just add in more casual difficulty options like how Fire Emblem did regarding permadeath.
That's exactly that though.
Nintendo won't even get Sakura Wars or Yakuza and you expect me to believe he would be up for F-Zero?
I think there will be a problem with motivation to continue playing if people can't progress after a certain point. large swaths of uncompleted stuff can drive people away
since Nintendo would be footing 100% of the bill, of course he'd be up for
Well, it wasn't a problem for Demon's Soul right? Or any of the Souls series...
Yeah, at this point I just want F-Zero X/64DD and GX/AX remastered to Switch, please.
More options for difficulty would be amazing too since GX was extremely hard at points.
Nintendo has so much money they don't even know what to do with all the cash. Just do it.
Honestly, they should take advantage of the positive moment and widespread userbase to bring back most of the franchises.
If they don't like risks that much: port GX like they did with Super Mario Sunshine. This can't be too much to ask.
