Forums - Nintendo - F-Zero for Wii U confirmed! OK not really but =P

dahuman on 05 June 2012

One by one, Nintendo Land's 12 different attractions are being revealed. This morning's press conference confirmed the first five, and tonight, during the company's developer discussion meeting, we've just learned the sixth: F-Zero.

That's right, after an absence from home consoles since 2003, Nintendo's futuristic racing franchise is finally being recognized once again. F-Zero's mini-game in Nintendo Land will involve your Mii character hopping into the cockpit of a hovercraft racer like Captain Falcon's and doing your best to race toward the finish line while avoiding obstacles on the track like spinning tornado traps.

A second player can also use the Wii U GamePad during this mini-game, but Nintendo didn't want to reveal what that person was up to. A safe bet, though? That person was probably controlling the placement of the hazards on the track, trying to keep the racer from actually finishing.

With F-Zero now confirmed, we know of exactly half of Nintendo Land's attractions so far. The other five include representations of the Donkey Kong, Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion, Legend of Zelda and Mystery of Murasame Castle franchises.

Here are the icons from all 12. Can you guess what the other six will be?

misleading title is misleading.

I read the whole roundtable, so I saw this thread coming.

But not everyone did. So you're a terrible human being.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

I am excited for this. These mini-games certainly have a degree of depth to them, which appeals to me.

oh man even when i read the title and post and saw the picture i still didn't realize it is not what i hope for. only nightdragon's post gave my clarity

We better be getting a REAL F Zero game on the Wii U. If Nintendo doesn't want to make it themselves let Sega do it again, or let Retro work on it. They focus too much on Mario and not enough on everything else. Yes, I am saying that three Mario games in one year is a bit much, even if I will get them all. lol




Nintendo still doomed?
Feel free to add me on 3DS or Switch! (PM me if you do ^-^)

I'm actually pretty confident we will, although whether it's Wii U or 3DS remains to be seen. My pet theory is that the Ambassador games are a sneaky way of telling us upcoming Nintendo games. And Maximum Velocity was one of them.

 

My pet theory is a load of bunk, by the way.
