Now, don't you crush my dreams by implying that SMT x FE is on the backburner T_T

But yea, I do agree with what you said but I do also think that if they make it more appealing to new comers and actually market it, it might have a good chance cause its like, they are already kind of doing it by having Mute City on both MK8 and SSB so its like come on, make us something please! T_T So I do think it has a chance if they do it properly but I do also understand that the wiiU is selling like ass, its not the safest business move at this time and that making a stage on a popular game is far less costy than making a whole game about it. But I really do hope that they would at least try and make it appealing to the noobs and actually market the darn thing if it comes out cause F-zero is a great series that deserves at least one more chance

Oh and I do think a better name for the thread would be: Nintendo Revolution!

I think their best bet could be a launch title for their next console. I mean sure it has a tiny install base to sell to but they have nothing but it to buy.
Wish Sony had done this for WipEout on PS4 but they let a Vita games success determine the future of the franchise -_-

Seriously though look at how Knack sold ffs, all because 1st party launch hype... and bunduru in Japan.

F-Zero needs something special like FE.
It's just one of those games that need a good userbase to sell well and make money.

Personally, if they make one again it would be cool if you could play te entire game like you play the F-Zero game on NintendoLand. One, if not really the best, mini-game.



Mario Kart 8 pretty much killed any chance of another F-Zero game anytime soon.

Just bought Planes Wii U for 9.99 at Walmart. Been waiting nearly a year for this at a super cheap price!


Thoughts?

I came away from it thinking it was bland uninspired and just utter shovelware. Controlled pretty well though.

Well, maybe if MK8 show a lot of interest (usage ratios) on the F-Zero track and vehicle we might just get lucky.
Lots of new people playing games that weren't around for F-Zero GX. Maybe the new market is up for it.

Well, I hope this is true. We've all talkied about this before and we all agree that Nintendo needs more internal studios to compensate the lack of third party support.

@F-Zero: I'm quite pessimistic about it. Not only the sales have been declining fast, but with Shinen and its Fast Racing series they even have competence on its own console.

 

So long RGE, we all hope you come back soon.

Seriously though you cant blame Nintendo, it was the fans who showed no intrest in F-Zero.

Loll, that pic is awesome

But anyway, as for ur second thing, while its true that fans showed no interest in F-zero, I do think Nintendo should try and make another one and market it properly cause if you look at another series like Fire Emblem:

1 Fire Emblem: Awakening 3DS 2012 Strategy Nintendo 0.51 0.26 0.52 0.07 1.35

9 Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi GBA 2002 Role-Playing Nintendo 0.00 0.00 0.39 0.00 0.39
10 Fire Emblem: Shin Monshou no Nazo Hikari to Kage no Eiyuu DS 2010 Strategy Nintendo 0.00 0.00 0.27 0.00 0.27

Fans also showed very little interest in the series with the DS having only 0.59 million and the wii having only 0.48 million sales but Nintendo gave it another chance on the 3ds and bam 1.35 million sales! I do think it has to do a lot to do with the entry skill level (as well as other things) which FE:A tried to mitigate by having different difficulty levels so maybe F-zero can do the same since F-zero GX wasn't exactly an easy game loll. Now, I am not saying pussify the whole game, I am just saying give the noobs some choice and market it well.

Can you blame the DS' sales for being that low?
