What's your pick and why?

Easily GX. because most content. (X has awesome tracks tho! Also the "last car driving" mode was awesome!)

GX/GA.

Nintendo + Sega at its finest. The perfect merge between a classic Nintendo franchise with old Sega's arcade aproachability and imediate fun with some depth thrown in there.

Most of all, i want to see a sequal to it, but with Sega beeing a sliver of what it was, Rare beeing a shadow of what it was and Nintendo having no expertise on it, the question would be: Who could develop it? All the good arcade racer developers have died.

Easy answer: Retro.

These guys are crazy. They can do any genre they want and they'll always do it perfectly.


In theory yes, but such a talented studio must be pooled into projects that are more likely to sell bigger numbers. Theres no doubt in my mind that retro will be used on either a new IP or a new metroid. A shooting game is more likely to sell and push units.

They would basically have to throw an internal team outta the bag and gamble on it.

However, Miyamoto said himself that Retro is now big enough to work on two games at once and I believe that's what they have been doing since they finished Tropical Freeze last year. Maybe they could be developing a new Metroid as their big game while still making a minor title along with it, who knows.

I would love for that to be the case; everything Retro touches turns to gold but the only downside is we have to wait 3-4 years between each of their games when they do them one at a time.

Well I did mean in theory.

What am i thinking? They have the Mario kart team! They already made a huge seller and would need to work on something else before the next mario kart. It would be perfect. Looking at MK8, they could definitly pull off an F zero.

I know, I know... but they can work on a main project at the same time. The DLC is already half finished.

Never played the GBA ones, but GX was amazing.

Looked great, sounded great, played great. Lots of content. Challenging but fair.

Just to explain my vote so it doesn't look like some weird-ass picked the wrong game, I don't have enough time with X or GX to make a strong comparison between them, and I knew they'd be the most popular by far, so I voted for GP Legend, my favorite sprite-based game in the series.

Has anyone actually played Climax?
