F-Zero is the name of the game, but will it also be the score?
In 2003, Nintendo’s premier racing series returned in superb style on the GameCube: F-Zero GX came out of the gate lightning fast, brutally hard and, rather oddly, developed by Sega. Made by Amusement Vision, it marked the company’s first collaboration with Nintendo after having...

Review Nintendo Switch Online GameCube Controller - The Return Of The King
A little birdy wants to wave hello
The N64 controller has its fair share of fans, but I am not one of them. I should clarify that I don’t dislike it, as such, but as someone who owned a PS1 back in the ‘90s and only had limited access to the N64 through my friends, the three-pronged design definitely felt, well… weird by comparison. I’ve...

Opinion I Never Felt True Nostalgia Until I Played GameCube On Switch 2
Ahh, memories
I still remember the day I got my GameCube. It wasn’t the launch day, because I remember getting Super Smash Bros. Melee alongside it, which to my knowledge released a few weeks after the console itself in the UK. Oh gosh, I was so excited though! I pored over early issues of NGC in the weeks leading up to The Big Day (somehow,...

About The Game
Join Captain Falcon and a host of drivers from around the galaxy in this, the return of F-Zero.
Along with the hallmark elements of the previous titles (high speed racing through futuristic tracks that range from difficult to down right crazy, against up to 29 different racers at any one time), GX introduces a new story mode which details the backstory of each driver and creates a new sense of importance to each race.
Depending on your result through the 15 tracks, you'll receive prize money which can go towards the purchase of new parts to increase your power and speed of your racer. No weapons are used during each race, so it will take skill to get to the top.
Also included are a 4 player split-screen mode, the option of full customization the look of your vehicle, plus plenty of unlockable extras to find.

Those graphics hold up well even today..
one of the hardest games i have ever played!!! but a great game now they need to make it on the wii and online!!
Super fast game. Quick multilayer, and isn't to frustrating even with the high difficulty level.
SEGA and Nintendo made what is perhaps the BEST iteration in the F-Zero series. The game has a strong pedigree, with Miyamoto and Toshihiro Nagoshi serving as co-producers of F-Zero GX. The game also used the Super Monkey Ball engine, hence being developed by Amusement Vision (one of Sega's internal studios). We need a new F-Zero game again...
best, fastest and hardest futureracer ever
newbies better stick to wipeout ^^
i want a new F-zero for wii or 3DS
