| hsrob said: I also hope Stof is wrong about F-Zero, love that game. I'd argue that the Nintendo 64 version kinda ruins your tech argument. While pushing a fair amount of geometry for it's time, it was ugly as sin and would not have been considered technically good by the vast majority of people. Also, i know the SNES version was the first game to fully make use of Mode 7, but was it really rated as being one of the best looking games on the SNES? Furthermore, while i agree the Wii Wheel is not a good match i think the nunchuk and wii-mote combination, ala Mario Kart Wii would be more than up to the task, and i say this having played alot of F-Zero GX. With a core franchise like this i think Nintendo doesn't have to worry so much about pushing the Wii's unique control options. OT, i think Star Fox is more likely than F-Zero. |
I think the 64 version kind of reinforces my argument. At the time they made the sacrifices they had to to bring the game in to 3D. Now they have nothing to gain by making sacrifices except a product that might not live up to the expectations of it's fans. Nintendo doesn't want a new F Zero 64 (or X or whatever) . They want an F-Zero GX, and the Wii isn't going to give them that.
As for the wheel/control debate, I just disagree. I really don't think Nintendo wants to update a major franchise and JUST have traditional controls. So instead they focused on a high speed franchise that can have Wii wheel controls. Excite. So we're getting another Excite game instead of an F-Zero. I think it's going to stay that way until at least next Gen.
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
