A look back at the F-Zero series of games, the way they pushed Nintendo's consoles to their limits, and why gaming's fastest racer has been retired for over sixteen years.

The series is dead, but it at least died with the grace of an angel. You can't sling mud at the franchise. The worst you can say is that X's graphics aren't great or that GP Legend and Climax aren't the F-Zero titles people wanted. But *every* F-Zero game is master class, hardware pushing racing in their own respective rights. There is no mediocre or bad F-Zero. Hardly even a dated F-Zero.There's no lame practices attached to any entry that sullies the experience. Any compromises were negligible and made up for elsewhere in the name of excessive performance, content, and speed. Like WipEout, this is just a pristine series of wholesome games. The Blue Falcon sits in a hangar somewhere just glistening and that's a good takeaway from all this. ;)

Or even a track editor. But no. In Miyamoto’s mind, there has to be some lame gimmick baked into the game to justify making it. I think he just doesn’t like F-Zero, which is why he can’t think of any good “innovations” for it. It’s sad, because F-Zero is the only place I know of where you can find this unique style of racing experience. Traditional racing games just bore me to tears whenever I try them.

Switch is probably the only major console in the past 20 years or so with no BC from them(well 20 years now, around 15 since GC).

Unfortunately, there is a disconnect between Nintendo and their audience. Miyamoto, for all his talent, has one major blind spot: he sees games only through the lens of a game designer and not as a game player. What he's forgetting is that gamers want to see more of the world and content of F-Zero, not just new gameplay mechanics. Miyamoto is right when he says the series can't evolve past GX in terms of game design, but we F-Zero fans don't care--we just want to experience more of the fun and wild F-Zero universe. Anybody that hasn't seen Sean Malstrom's blog should look into it. He thoroughly explores the importance of content in games over everything else, even gameplay.

We could have customized consoles that take gestures or combinations of presses so players can perform things like an exaggerated boost, have their machine make a guided path (like clairvoyance in skyrim), or change their vehicles balancing mid-race. The screen could also have a mod that is used for detecting nearby vehicles, there could be a mod that takes the mod of the last racer you spin into, or have sliders that adjust the sensitivity of input for things like drifting. many possibilities!

@@derfalschelennox365 Better than what we have now, which is no F-zero since the GC days. You don't always need new gimmicks to keep a franchise going, and adding new gimmicks for the sake of adding them doesn't automatically make for a better game (at times it can even make a game worse or at least certain aspects of it). GX already just about reached the pinnacle of what an F-zero (or racing game in general) could and should be. And instead of seeing that nintendo decided to just let it die, right when it reached a level of epicness and refinement every franchise aspires to attain in it's respective genre. All they need to do is build on that foundation by going bigger, better, and longer in terms of the game's scope. More tracks, more racers/cars, more car parts, possibly a more expansive story mode that goes beyond [cutscene>gimmick race>cutscene] and actually lets you experience the F-zero world to some degree (maybe even semi-open world career mode), custom track builder, proper online multiplayer, etc. They shouldn't go full on fifa, but there should at least be one F-zero game per gen. Though honestly at this point I'd take a bare bones port over the complete absence of F-zero we currently have.

There are some truly amazing runs on YT.

As a 26 year-old person, today I have played F-Zero (F-Zero GX) for the very first time with a friend who has played the series for years..... Now I completely understand why other racing games fail at recreating the experience of F-Zero. It's totally unique, the incredible speed, the fast controls, the soundtracks.... it's really atractive. I'm not a fan of Nintendo, but I would buy a console just to play this. And I feel disappointed that Nintendo left this game series. SIGH* 99% of my friends who have a Nintendo console only play Smash Bross. It's not a bad game, but I just don't like fighting games. I get bored immediately. I bet many people would play an F-Zero game with online up to, 20-30 players?

I don't understand why Miyamoto is so against a new entry. You do not need to create something new only to justify a new entry. Look at BF and Cod. What are they doing each entry. Still the same. A GX 2.0 would be amazing on Switch. More tracks, more drivers (Climax timeline), online mutliplayer, track editor, a better story mode (Like Climax?) and Boost Fire :-) Would that not be enough? I mean, the people cry for a new F-Zero so just bring them what they want.

I think that F Zero is coming back eventually though, it's like what was mentioned in the video, it wouldn't of worked with the Wii's gimmicks nor the Wii U's, yet they even did try to make one for the Wii U. Due to the switch feeling like a more standard platform and Nintendo moving away from the target of fairly casual game players with the switch, I would guess that F Zero is likely more now than ever before.

I'm with you brother, I think Nintendo is eventually going to have to set foot upon the land of remakes again (they remade windwaker in wiiu) because just coming up with new ways to see and play a game aren't everything, it's about what the story, display and interactions the game has, why do you think 8 bit games like shovel knight have become popular over the recent years? Graphics aren't everything! And nintendo better take note and do justice to this franchise, I just see so much potential nintendo hasn't used, it frustrates me!

They won't make one though without something to add to it. CoD and BF are the same, yes, but they are also selling. Like the video said, F Zero saw a decline in sales with every release, despite trying to showcase something new with each title. In Nintendo's eyes, F Zero was NOT a successful franchise. At least not compared to their other IP. Unless they find a fit for a new system feature, gaming engine, or rendering technology or something that fits well into a F Zero game, I'd pretty much plan on not ever seeing another new F Zero again. Which is a shame, like most of the folks watching this video, I loved the franchise, and X and GX were a couple of my favorite games. I'm hoping for that new shiny technology, whatever it may be, that sparks the flame for F Zero once again. But until then, I'll be over here with my GameCube and component cables, because damn, GX can still rip your face off at 480p. I can only imagine this game at 1080p. *droooool*

That's the thing with Nintendo. As described in the video, Nintendo doesn't iterate for the sake of iteration or just to improve one thing here or there like BF and CoD. Nintendo is the way it is, their games are as beloved as they are, because each game they make is something new. I agree with the sentiment that it's difficult to come up with something actually new for the game. Yes, there are small things that can make the current experience better such as higher resolutions and improved multiplayer, but those things aren't new in gaming, they're just new for F-Zero. Something different has to come along for Nintendo to think that F-Zero is the game to make. The way I see it, F-Zero probably won't get made fresh until VR is, if ever, mainstream, and we have full force-feedback chairs in every house. F-Zero would benefit from being a full-body experience that no other types of games would necessarily benefit from. One would play F-Zero for the same reason one rides roller coasters. Unfortunately, I don't really see that ever happening. So, in the meantime, I'll just play my copy of F-Zero, on top of my car, while someone does their best to mimic my movements as we both drive.

I just wish he'd did the same with F-Zero and Mother because just seeing Cap and Ness in Smash isn't enough.

The thing is Nintendo didn't think it would be a success so they just didn't advertise it... at all. What a tragedy; VERY few teams in the world have the specialized skills to make a big fighting game, they tie them up TEKKEN developers for years of all people, and then sabotage the end result.

Miyamoto has no ideas for a new F-Zero? It's been so long since the last F-Zero that there doesn't have to be any innovation with a new one. If anything, start with the superior gameplay and music style of X and combine them with the modern graphics of today. Make over-the-top tracks. Make brutally hard tracks inspired by the mod F-Zero: The Revenge. Throw in a massive track editor and vehicle customization. Add in passive abilities (similar to Redout), not just boost power. Of course, a no-brainer - online mp. Create a story mode that's not cheesy (GX was super cheesy) and gives life to all the F-Zero characters. C'mon, Nintendo. I'm sick of this "we dunno what direction to go in" excuse. We're now at the point where a simple HD remaster of GX would be considered good enough for most people... but you don't have to do just that, because the fans have already given you enough ideas to make an adequate sequel. That's all I'm saying. To the maker of this video, you did a great job. Have a sub!

Nintendo needs to understand that the only thing that needs to be new in their sequels are the levels and the story. And the only thing that they need to do with the gameplay is make it tighter and better. Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Smash Bros and their other franchises have always been the same but bigger and better with each entry and thats okay. Starfox zero proved that philosophy they have about needing innovations with the gameplay is detrimental. Great video btw.

I disagree about Mario and even more about Smash, each entry in both series is very different from both the former and the latter in the same series. Pokémon has always been a fairly lazy copy and paste job with no effort put into the game aside from composing new music and making new sprites though (mostly because Gamefreak is beyond incompetent). The innovation requirement is fantastic in some cases (look at any of the Mario games, 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy as fantastic examples), and completely unnecessary in others (Star Fox Zero - although it was doomed from the start considering there's only ever been one decent game in the series).

Take Fludd for instance in Sunshine, makes the game completely unique in the world of 3D platformers, and while it is similar to other Mario titles it's impossible to ever confuse it with another in the series.

@@chrismdb5686 You're right about mario but smash really hasn't changed a whole lot since melee if you really take a step back and look (if anything, on a mechanical level i'd say they only spent two games degrading it but I know that's not a popular opinion), they've iterated on the gameplay sure but it hasn't been anything game changing or something that flips the series on its head like they use as an excuse for why F-zero isn't getting a new game yet.

@@megasoniczxx I'd say Brawl was a massive game changer and definitely different from Melee, Smash 4 was a huge game changer from Brawl, and Ultimate was the same to Smash 4, none of them play remotely the same (unless you want to pull the "they're all fighting games/platform brawlers/party games"). There's also a difference between making a fighting game and making a platformer, RPG, etc., to where fighting games don't need a new gimmick or other innovation to be fresh and game changing. Look at Tekken Tag 2 and Tekken 7 for example, the same basic gameplay is there but the addition of the rage mechanic and new characters on the roster makes it unmistakably different from its predecessors (for good and bad).

I attempted a couple years ago to build a F-Zero clone with the Unity Engine but I just could not get the controls right and I could not figure out a way to make tube shaped tracks that you're magnetically stuck to when upside down. I still have the project on my PC in case I ever decide to try again but I don't see it happening. I would love a switch f-zero. I put off getting a switch all this time because there aren't many games I want but an f-zero title would push me to it.

Wish YT wasn't shit so I could actually tag you so you can see this, but...Rotate the world instead of the player. Pretty sure that's how they did it in Psychonauts. It's not the same thing, but similar mechanics. Or a better solution; you could have a mesh at the bottom of your vehicle, that points the gravity towards the normal of the mesh. So when you go around the tube, as the vehicle tilts, it's pulled towards the normal, and therefore the center of the tube.

im pretty sure in fzero x and gx/ax. the tubes where just a spline. (a line going between two or more points) where for gravity it just calculated the shortest straight line to the spline, and the angle of that line is set to be the gravity for your vehicle. thus you always get pulled towards the cylinder or into the walls of a tube. and for collisions it simply checks if that line is shorter or longer than the radius of the cylinder/tube.

It seems like Nintendo did make a compromise... They have announced that they are going to add N64 games on the Switch with some having online multiplayer. One of the games being added is F-Zero X..... It might not be "new" but with online multiplayer added, this can be technically the end to that. Yes I'll love a new entry, but we can only get what we can. Hopefully Nintendo keeps track on how many people play it and sees the demand.

Great video man. I really appreciate that you didn't classify the Fast series as an "F-Zero Successor" as many people do. The overall mentality of Nintendo has changed since the Wii / Wii U era as shown by the changes in Zelda and Smash, they are trying to cater to a more mature audience, and F-Zero fits the bill. I find it very unlikely that Nintendo will develop the next F-Zero, however. Which is not a bad thing, Miyamoto has destroyed Paper Mario with his insistence on Gameplay features, as you mentioned, they would've had to dumb down F-Zero for motion controls. I'd much prefer no game over a bad game, poor Star Fox. I imagine Shin'en or Retro to develop the next entry. I do worry a bit, as the Switch does not have the best hardware, but both these companies can push the console to the limit.

Thanks mate! I do like Fast Neo, but it's definitely a completely different game. The announcer was a very on-the-nose reference (a very welcome one though, he was fantastic!), but gameplay is core, and Fast plays completely differently. Still, as you say, Shin'en has made some excellent-looking games for Nintendo hardware, they absolutely could make a decent F-Zero, they're clearly fans. Retro's a good call, definitely interested to see what they're working on!

It bothers me that Miyamoto doesn't want to make a new F-Zero because they "can't do anything new" with it, while they still pump out Mario games every couple years. Don't get me wrong, I like Mario, but when you can just skip titles and feel like you have no reason to play them because the newer one is just like it, you have no excuse not to make a new entry in a series that hasn't had a game in 15 1/2 years.

Until you can find something brand new and amazing then there's no reason to really try and push out newer games.

Interesting way to view controls, but as the games progresses towards its series conclusion, the vehicles felt more like air planes. Not that they controlled like one, but the look and appeal of them seemed in line with flight sims. I wonder if the adopted a different control system all together, and used each JoyCon as a dual flight stick configuration. Though you still face the issues of having to make it precise and responsive.

I agree with the points you give in your video! One thing I had in mind is that a future F-Zero game can do is perhaps bring old tracks from previous games kind of how Mario Kart DS began with the Retro Grand Prix by bring back old tracks along with their music. In particular, it would be great to see how SNES courses would be revamped if Nintendo went with this.

The fact that Miyamoto doesn't know what to add means that F-Zero GX must have been perfect. Other companies would then bleed this dry with release after release, each one functionally identical but with new maps and a new story. This game could be for Nintendo what Call of Duty is for Treyarch. The ultimate Cash Cow. The Holy Grail. It needs no introduction, it needs no change. Each new game for each new generation only needs a graphical upgrade, a balance tweak, a bugfix, and a new set of maps.
