FAST Racing NEO is coming this year, and is likely to scratch that F-Zero itch with its brand of anti-grav racing action.
We got chance to sit down with Shin'en's Martin Sauter to talk about the game at this year's EGX, and as well as speaking about the game's development, he revealed that the title is coming with its own "Hero" mode, which is inspired by Nintendo's famous series.

Put it in a box and I will re-buy it after getting the digital version.
I am really curious about how much this is going to cost. The developer has always had a fair pricing scheme but this game just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
"I don't think many games have online anymore".
Where does this guy come from?
The amount of attention this game is getting suggests it's going to review well. I hope so, as it's been far too long since the last F-Zero.
The only thing stopping me is it's digital.
I'd like to have a physical copy since I want to have them on my shelf
All talk and no release dates, all I need are release dates!! This and Heist.
Very much looking forward to this.
Show us your release date !
@gcunit Mars? LOL
I didn't like F-Zero GX much because it was way too difficult, I think only the most hardcore and best players in the world can really enjoy it. Or those that have 300 hours to dedicate to a game. I still hope Nintendo resurrects F-Zero with a fair game.
I've not picked up on this, hadn't really crossed my mind til just now:
Will FRN have any ghost mode? I need ghost.
@Tops
Yeah. I think Nintendo Life likes torturing us with this game. Can't come soon enough!
@VanillaLake Not sure if you've played the original FAST Racing on WiiWare but man that was hard,very hard.Even on normal difficulty 1 small error could be the difference between finishing first and last,hopefully this one is a little easier
What the heck? Not many games have online anymore? Is this guy from a future that we don't know about or see coming?
Though, I still look at this and it makes me want it, I'll keep myself looking at this.
@gcunit I think he was referring to eShop releases.
Release date please. Seriously, that's all I care about. Long since been sold on this.
@faint They haven't said anything yet but from what I've seen I would guess 39 Euros and I would pay that amount.
I'd also like to know the release date but judging from Shin'en's and Nintendo's statements I'd say it will be holiday season.
I´m overloaded with great games to play ... but this and Xenoblade chronicles X will be one of my last games to buy for the Wii U ... and maybe a star wars expansion to Disney Infinity 3.0 in addition .... and some other games ... and I almost forgot Star Fox, I need that too
90s arcade racer update next please!
@tovare Zelda?
I really hope this is
a) as good as it looks
b) sells as well as it deserves
Nice Miyamoto watch! I'm so excited for this game, closest we're getting to a WiiU F-Zero and it's looking fantastic!
@Nintenjoe64 WORD!!! What happened to that game?!
I'd rather have this at Christmas than Star Fox Zero. I could not be more excited about this game.
@VanillaLake I'm not the best F-Zero player either, but I do enjoy playing them. Still I would love to see a F-Zero title appear on either the Wii U or the NX.
@OorWullie No, I didn't buy it, but glad I didn't if that's the case. Hopefully the new Fast game is easier, otherwise I won't even bother.
@Nico07 That would be cool -and Nintendo really needs to take care of F-Zero- but I can't wait for a new Wave Race, that's a game I'm in love with. We only have two Wave Race games and the last one was a GameCube launch title!
Funny enough, the F-Zero I am enjoying the most at the moment is the original one! In particular, the US version that was released in the European eShop for the Wii U, which is much better than the PAL version I used to play before. It's great playing F-Zero at 60Hz with correct aspect ratio, and it looks pretty good on a big HD screen! I love the soundtrack, too.
@VanillaLake I really enjoyed the first game too, though I like how the sequels introduced multiplayer and had unique track designs but still the first was a great game.
Oddly enough though there have been three WaveRace games. The first was on the Gameboy and the sequels that we are familiar with were on the N64 and Gamecube. I recently re-bought WaveRace 64 and 1080 Snowboarding to re-live the good old days of Nintendo Sports.
@Nico07 Oh, the GB Wave Race, that was kind of... well... I don't want to say what I think of it... LOL My favourite Wave Race game is Blue Storm (GameCube).
1080º, I have the N64 version on Wii, it is cool, it would be great not only new F-Zero but new Wave Race and new 1080º as well!
It is funny that the series started on GB though.
I really hope this isn't released close to Xenoblade Chronicles x. Once Xenoblade releases I'm snowing myself in even on the sunniest of days.
Looks great and day 1 for me. Now if somebody can find out what the hell happened to 90s arcade racer??? I want that one bad!!
Ah man, come on with it!
I'm a guy who still keeps his GameCube-compatible Wii and fires up F-Zero GX from time to time to play through the AX Cup.
This game is what I want. Well, I really want a new F-Zero but this will do. This will MORE than do.
@JaxonH Don't forget Fire Field Cylinder Knot. Best track in a racing game ever.

Oh if only this song could play in Smash on the Port Town stage...Skip to 1:58 for the full effect.
I just want a release date and a physical copy is that asking too much?
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!
Great that hes making a F-Zero game, but to be honest i would like a F-zero game from nintendo.
I cant imagine Nintendo is happy with people that try to fill the gap with fake f-zero titles -.-
The question remains: Will this enthusiasm survive a £30 price point?
My G-diffuser... is READY!
When is this game gonna be released.
I'm ready to pull the trigger.
Meh. Just release a proper F Zero Nintendo!!!!!!!!!!
