I find the Wii U a crappy old-gen console (mainly because of power and concept) but if there was a game I was waiting for to buy it, it was F-Zero.

I thought it was weird to not have one on Wii...and I think it's fucking stupid not to have one on Wii U

"I don’t really have a good idea for what’s new that we could bring to F-Zero that would really turn it into a great game again"

F-Zero is no longer a great game? Am I the only one shocked at this?

Look Nintendo, THIS is great gaming. Even a simple HD version of that would make me buy a WiiU at once.

You're wrong if you think the demand for motion-games (and that was the new gameplay idea behind the Wiimote) are gone. The new gamers brought in by that gameplay-option are still keep playing, as you can see in the sales of JD4. But Nintendo suddenly decided to abandon these gamers in favor of the customers of PS360 - that they try to persuade with the WiiU - unsuccessful naturally. Maybe the One with Kinect will capture thiis group, but that really depends on the games offered.

Well, a "Smash Ball" is the last thing that this series needs... -.-'


Please let Amusement Vision make a proper sequel that stays true to the series' core. New creative levels, online multiplayer and proper marketing is all it needs. Also, bringing back (and expanding upon) Death Race would be a nice bonus.

Edit: AV is defunct? Well, shit.

GX was a good game. I own it. The story mode was a nice touch. But overall it was too fucking hard. I thought X on N64 was a more balanced game, with just the right level of difficulty without getting ridiculous.

             Yeah! Fuck them for funding Bayonetta 2 and the Wonderful 101! Fuck them for making Mega Man a SSB4 character, something Nintendo fans have been wanting since Brawl was revealed. Fuck them for making a sequel/successor to Xenoblade even though it didn't have Mario Galaxy numbers! Fuck them for making Pikmin 3, a game, fans have been begging for since Pikmin 2 arrived on the GameCube. Fuck them for starting for a partnership with Sega for 3 Sonic games and fuck them for starting a partnership with Atlus to bring SMT X FE over to the Wii U!

I think some people are not really getting where Miyamoto comes from when he says these types of things. He's not us. He's not a gamer. He didn't grow up playing and loving video games. He went to art school, became a designer. Worked for Nintendo, got put on their burgeoning video game unit, and the rest is history. When he designs games, he always thinks of the gameplay ideas first, before anything else, be it characters, story, setting, you name it.

When he created Zelda, he wanted to recreate his childhood adventures off in the backwoods near his home. He wanted to recreate that free-roaming sense of exploration. When he created Pikmin, he was really into gardening, and started imagining Pikmin and the like as an extension of that. He created Wii Fit because he was really getting into fitness and weighing himself. Etc. etc.

So when he approaches making a new game in one of Nintendo's franchises, he doesn't look at it like we do, from a fan's perspective. He always tries to justify making a new game by trying to think up some new experience that he could put in it. They don't ALWAYS work out amazing, but more often than not, they work out fine. He's had far more successes than failures, that's for sure. And when it comes to something like F-Zero, I think he tends to not really be interested in just giving us more of the same with better graphics. That's what I believe he was trying to convey. "How can we make the next F-Zero installment special, and not just more of the same?"

I can't guarantee that's how he thinks, of course. But from all I know about the guy from interviews and second-hand accounts over the years, that does tend to be how he approaches things. He thinks of games like an artist would a painting. Few artists ever want to do the same thing twice.

Like I've said, "entitlement syndrome".

F-Zero, dead? This is a travesty! Hundreds of gamers around the world will be upset with this saf news!

Now that I have that out, I'm going to leave this thread and then go on living my life.

This would make you get a Wii U, but Bayonetta 2 wouldn´t ?
