The Switch may still be lacking any juicy F-Zero action at present (and possibly always will) but one game that will proudly feature our much-loved Captain Falcon is Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. With both the character and stages based on the franchise often found within Smash Bros. games, we're usually treated to a slice or five of F-Zero music pieces, and this game's set to be no different.
The official website for the game has been teasing little bits of info with each passing day, usually showing off a character or a stage that we've seen before. The latest addition revealed that an F-Zero medley is coming to the game, however, with Takenobu Mitsuyoshi acting as the arrangement supervisor. You can listen to a portion of it below. "F-Zerooooooooo!"
In case you were unaware, Takenobu Mitsuyoshi is well known for his work on multiple classic Sega titles, including Shenmue, Virtua Fighter 2, and many, many more. We love Super Smash Bros.' remixes and medleys in each and every game, but this one could be particularly special.
Are you feeling excited for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate? Are there any classic Nintendo tunes you'd love to see featured in the game? Let us know below.

This medley is really showing me its moves... audibly.
Needs more guitar shredding.
When I read the title I was hoping it would end with "composed the soundtrack of the incredibly good new F-Zero SX on Switch developed in secrecy available today"
With the tag line "Big Blue's score is the absolute best"
Please wake me up when Nintendo releases a new F-Zero. Or don't if it is Star Fox Zero quality.
@Rhaoulos I am guessing that is the issue. I reckon they've had a stab at creating a new F-Zero a few times but found it didn't stand out from past games, or other anti-grav racing games. They probably don't want to release a new game in one of their classic franchises that they aren't fully convinced by.
At least with Star Fox Zero they felt they had something new and original to deliver, even if it was a massive misstep.
That said, with their recent policy of re-releasing Wii U games on Switch with a lick of paint, they should maybe just consider polishing F-Zero GX a little and releasing it on Switch.
This... is horrible on the ears.
I want a new F-Zero!!! It’s been more than 10 years already!!!
now we just need Shenmue itself.
This is not for me.
Sounds absolutely horrible.
More guitar and no lyrics please. Can it be more like F-Zero X ?
Just going to ignore all the trash taste here.
Sounds awesome.
I do like this music track, but it just doesn't feel characteristically F-Zero at all.
Looks like it’s already shaping up to be yet another slow news day.
F-Zero always had awesome music. I
Had a friend do an F-Zero inspired track for a retro review of the first game I did recently. https://youtu.be/JGuYwGpI0kA
PEPSI MAAAAAAAN!!
Lol shenmue one of the best games ever next to zelda that is.
bring him in smashbros, people will cry for real. Love the smashbros reaction videos, are hilarious.
Please give me a remix of either the ARMS theme or any song from Splatoon 2...!
This doesn't sound nice.
Sounds like an opening to a new anime series
@BionicDodo
I'd be happy with a 60FPS FHD version of F-Zero GX, even without anything new.
And you are right, Nintendo said several times they didn't have any good enough idea to justify a new F-Zero and hoped the anti-grav system in the MK8 would be enough to satisfy the fans... They were wrong. It is awesome but it's not an F-Zero
@Rhaoulos Agreed. Not to give Nintendo any Capcom style ideas, but you would think a 1080/60 re-release of F-Zero GX would be a good way to gauge interest in a new F-Zero..
@fafonio well since GX it's been 15 years lol
It isn't bad per se, but the F-zero franchise always had really good remixes (Big Blue, and all of the Mute City Versions) and I think they have kind of spoiled me.
This isn't even mentioning the remixes already announced for Smash Ultimate. Literally last week, an amazing remix of Snake Eater was released. We also have other greats such as City Trial, Brinstar Depths, and Vega's Stage. This track is kinda underwhelming in both regards TBH.
Too short to really tell but I agree that I would prefer not to have lyrics.
I hope all of the smash music and medleys this time around can be longer, but I doubt it.
@Beedrill4Smash I like it. It's better than another typical Mute City theme. Smash 4 had only 1 new F-Zero song and it was Mute City. Very underwhelming.
@Beedrill4Smash try listening to the snake eater one at .75 speed. I liked it better that way, cause its a lot closer to the original. Of course, its a bit rough that way, since it is just a slowed down youtube video, but still. It was interesting.
Doesn't sound like F-zero at all. But of course this is a very short snippet.
