Star Fox and F-Zero are not being worked on.
oh sure, twist that dagger in a little deeper why dont you...
It saddens me too. What is frustrating, is Nintendo needs to making the F-Zero franchise like the Gran Turismo series for the Play Station. I understand a futuristic racer is not the same as a realistic racer. But to me the series has always had an interesting balance between being a arcade racer and a simulation.
The series had always been about tight controls and carefully racing with precision. There are so many different ways Nintendo can continue to push the franchise.
1) Slalom type races around tracks.
2) death match races with knocking racers off
3) Trick races. With enhanced and special racers. I see this as being very difficult to pull off tricks with using special engine bursts to rotate the craft in air. Tricks would be very hard to pull off to the point videos would be posted just to show off an impossible trick. Similar to San Francisco Rush's trick mode.
4) Create a car mode. This could be as easy as customizing existing cars to allowing a simple 3D editor for players to design cars. Cars could then be sold with (fake...in game currency) that is earned by winning races offline and online. Which is used to buy new parts. and engines and stats.
5)One Game yearly updates. Make the game digital and allow for updates every year with new tracks. Design the game so that it can be played until the next generation of gaming.
