I think F-Zero 99 is way for Nintendo to gauge the temperature. If the this game ends up getting a big player base and it stays consistent, then they will likely see that proper F-Zero game should be developed.
I remember a while back hearing Nintendo higher ups stating that they weren't sure the popularity was there for a new game. This is there way to checking.
"You all wanted a new entry in the F-ZERO franchise? Here you go! Now stop asking about it!"
I understand the disappointment coming from longtime F-Zero fans. I haven't played GX yet, so I was totally looking forward to a port of it myself. At the same time, this actually looks really fun. And as a hilarious (not really) bonus, since it wasn't released on an anniversary, it won't be delisted!
Sounds fun for a short while.
Like the Battle Royal Mario game. Is that game still available?
That looks miserable
Sounds like a fun concept. I liked Tetris 99 and Mario 35, so might try it.
Isn't it bump into 98 people?
Bring back Mario 35.
We need Doctor Mario 99
A lot of people are disappointed but I'm enjoying it for what it is! Free game, ridiculous in nature, and I'm actually not bad at it even if it is just one big traffic jam. I feel like it will make me better at the base game.
99 players but a switch ain't one.
I'd be happy if F-Zero GX was ported to the switch. I grew up playing F-Zero on snes and really enjoyed 64, but I never owned a gamecube cause I gor into playstations.. anyway I've heard good things about GX and wanna play it, but I'm not buying a gamecube just for that
