New cods: “heres the same game, but more ghost skins”

"If theres nothing good new to add then why make a new game at all"
Bro just annihalated the majority of shooters, football games and sports games in one sentence

A rerellease on switch with online play would not hurt

[BigBrownMemes]

Anyone who ever played this masterpiece can tell you that f-zero gx was FUCKING HARD. It was so fast and twitchy, a dark souls game in racing form. So much fun

The game was not made by Nintendo. the last in house developed F-Zero was F-Zero X for the N64. Amusement vision, a subsidiary of SEGA, were the makers of F-Zero GX in a joint venture between the two companies where Sega would have the rights to the arcade version of the game called F-Zero AX and Nintendo would get a port for the GameCube. They also developed hardware specifically for this venture known as the Triforce arcade board.

Who the heck didn't know the captain was from F-Zero? Lol I must be old man...

"Why make a new game at all"

"Here's New Super Mario 5 "

I think this was one of the games I played at McDonald’s on those console stands they had. Had like 4 or 5 in a circle. Those were the days.

[toddabbott]

That is BS. They likely did not want it to compete with Mario Kart, which was a MUCH more marketable franchise. I don't see too many F-Zero toys on the market.

Dear Nintendo. It don't have to be new to be good please give us more f zero

[WarlockSlayerYamano]

There is a difference between making the same game on loop like cod and killing a franchise even though you can make a new one for each console.

I always had the idea for basically a high speed racing game similar to F-Zero, where the gimmick is being able to switch from 2 modes during racing, those being negative and positive modes, Positive mode is the regular mode with the track being the default, but switching to Negative, you basically swap instantly to a second version of the same track, with slightly altered track layouts or completely new paths to take. Some tracks have certain sections that force you to switch modes but most tracks can be completed fully without switching modes at all

[balbarith]

That logic makes no sense for this game. There's plenty that can be improved upon. Basics like graphics, controls, new tracks and custom tracks. More advanced would be local and worldwide racing, racing tutorial for beginners and advanced, Time Trials, etc.

[FullMetalMaster]

That's crazy when they make a new Pokemon game every 3 years 💀

[nateno]

It pisses me off how Nintendo's such a good fucking game maker but then such a horrible Community head like they fucking hate their community and we'll do everything against the betterment of it

[misterk_-]

If that’s true then is that why we haven’t seen a new Mario Kart game in 10 years?

[stackzgaminglucky]

What they could have done was the same concept as shooters:

New riders, new maps, challenges, allow for vehicle customizations, but with a shop added.

Hell, even new music. The story would be tough, but even just a racing game is fine updated.

GX was incredible, but the ship customization wasn't all that for me.

They can even revamp GX into the switch with an online mode because the music and maps rocked and I'm sure it would sell.

Don’t forget that the games that came out after on the GBA (F-Zero GP Legend and F-Zero Climax) sold poorly, which might be a reason it hasn’t returned.

[pinkyoshi]

I think part of it had to do with GX being primarily developed by a 3rd party company

Apparently the game was very expensive plus it was not made by Nintendo, it was actually made by Sonic Team (SEGA!).

I think the only reason it hasn't been rereleased or remastered is because of the amount of music the game has plus the fact that the game has some SEGA references and it was made by them so Nintendo would have to pay SEGA just to sell the game again.
