I really wanted to like this series. WipEout is one of my favourite franchises ever and I really enjoyed F-Zero GX on the Gamecube (was it GX? Whichever one was on Gamecube anyway).
When I played the Wii U version, it was flashy and beautiful to look at but just felt... off. I dunno. I liked the idea of the colour switching mechanic but felt it was annoying in gameplay. I thought the camera was too close to the ship. I thought the track design was nothing compared to the winding corridors mixed with open spaces of WipEout.
Anyway, moaning aside, it is impressive to see Shin'en continue to push Nintendo hardware. They've been an amazing asset in that regard, and it's impressive what they've pulled off here in terms of tech.
They just need to tighten up their gameplay now (at least in this series) :P
