I'm conflicted by Miyamoto's response. I don't feel the same way about F-Zero that I do about Zelda or Metroid, but still I value the franchise (the SNES original is one of my all-time favorite games) and I sympathize with F-Zero fans who desperately want a new installment.
Yet I appreciate the philosophy behind Miyamoto's question: "Why F-Zero? What do you want that we haven’t done before?" You wouldn't find many developers willing to pass up producing a fan favorite because they felt it could offer nothing new or different. Many franchises would have ended years ago if that were the case.
Still, it could all be a red herring, since sales for F-Zero have been in decline since the original game.
