Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Miyamoto Puzzled As To Why Anyone Would Want A New F-Zero

Tagged games:

Perhaps crowfunding a new f-zero is the best way for nintendo to know if the game has real demand.



Around the Network

Its a no brainer for the Wii U, it stands out as one of the titles which could probably be outsourced without serious fear of a 3rd party developer ruining it. It probably nowhere near as costly as nintendo main franchises (zelda/3D Mario). They definitely need to do it, I don't recall a large amount of people calling for Punch Out yet they released that irrelevant game anyway -_-

I think if the last F-zero game was made for the Wii it would have been the highest selling one. Nintendo! Any of your smaller Ip's that sold mediocre on the GC or N64 should be given a second chance. Those two interim consoles cannot be used tonjudge popularity.

F-Zero X actually sold pretty well.



honestly I don't really care that much for the F-Zero.

If this franchise isnt gonna get a revisit anytime soon, what are the chances of my beloved Wave Race getting another sequel :(

It suffered the same fate as F-zero. Look at the sales numbers VGchartz has on them:

1 Wave Race 64 N64 1996 Racing Nintendo 1.98 0.58 0.34 0.04 2.94
2 Wave Race: Blue Storm GC 2001 Racing Nintendo 0.40 0.10 0.09 0.02 0.60

I don't think we'll seeing that franchise back. The best chance would be a remade, who would do exceptionally well. So a real sequel would be made. A rather small chance at this point.



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

Fzero X sold well? Compared to the Snes version? The N64 and GC destroyed any chance of a return soon. They are keeping us happy with the Njntendoland mini.


It still sold 1 million+ copies. That's not exactly mediocre.



I don't want a halo 4.  I don't want metal gear solid 5.  I don't want an Assassin's creed 3.  I don't want a mario party whatever number they're on.  I don't want Just Dance 4.  I don't want resistance 4.  Certainly don't want Unreal tournament 2013+. 

On his defense, there are too many sequals out there for the same game with a new shine. 



As a couple have pointed out, nobody really wants a new F-Zero. They just want to moan about it because it's the "in" thing to do.

F-Zero mechanics can't cut it in the 21st century anyway.



Fzero will do great on the 3DS, you watch



Online multiiplayer would be insane on a new F Zero. Last F Zero I played was the N64 version. God that was a good game.
