I want a new F-Zero but I'm not sure if Shi'nen is the right developer. They're rather small.

F-Zero GX on Virtual Console would ease the pain a bit - that game ran in widescreen mode, unlike most Gamecube games so it should look great on the Wii U.

I would love a new HD F-Zero. The tweet doesn't confirm it, but it does pretty concretely say that the company is working on a high-speed racing game for Wii U. And it doesn't deny that it is F-Zero.

Of course there's an F-Zero on the way. That's why it's been included in Nintendo Land and the VC promotion. Although I suspect that the Shin'En game is going to be an F-Zero-esque game rather than an official game carrying the name. I'm expecting the official F-Zero game to come from first party developers myself.

For the love of Miyamoto let this be true!!! I love F-Zero so much!

Maybe Nintendo has not released an F Zero title in the last decade because they just had no Hardware that could deliver a better F Zero than F Zero GX for the GC.

Right, that would explain why they released GP Legend and Climax for the GBA after GX was released for the GC.

But in all seriousness, GX is no benchmark. Not in quality and not in sales. It's basically the beginning of the end. It sucked. GP Legend was lame. Climax was redundant. The series was killed by outsourcing it to developers that weren't up to the task.

On topic: Shin'en doesn't have enough workforce for a project of this scope. If they are working on a futuristic racing game, it's going to be FAST Racing League 2 for the eShop.

 

For me it is. I loved GX. After the original (for nostalgia reasons and music) the best version for me. And F Zero just doesn't work on handhelds after they realized that they might have just seen no point in making a new one without being able to dramatically improve on it. I really hope we get one this time.

If true it's great for the fans (hey, i'm one!) but a waste of money and resources in my opinion

It better be. The Wii U is looking to be the core Nintendo console, so that would be cool.
