As many people have said already, just port GX to Switch and add online multiplayer to it. F-Zero deserves a chance on one of the best selling consoles ever.

And unlike many people here have said... no, Mario Kart is not a replacement for F-Zero. Mario Kart and F-Zero are two completely different games. It's almost like there can differences inside the racing genre itself: realistic, wacky kart racer, hyper fast futuristic, etc.

Nice, finally an option to turn of Lightning and Blue Shell. Speaking of Blue Shell, I much prefer the item they had in Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformers. You could unleash a swarm of robot wasps in front of the 1st player but with skill you could actually dodge all of them. Not that you couldn't dodge Blue Shell in many Mario Kart games but it mostly required a specific item or very spesific circumstances to pull it off.

Nice to see that some people here use the term "platform fighter" instead of "smash clone".

Nickbrawl is a lot of fun and I really wish Smash Bros goes back to wavedashing mechanics in future sequels. I also recommend Ludosity's previous platform fighter, Slap City.

There is room for more platform fighters. That genre shouldn't be exclusive to Smash Bros, it's healthier to have competition (and force Nintendo to make rollback netcode to their own fighting games).

The 3DS entry is easily my favourite in this trilogy even if it has just one island. The controls are just so smooth in it and stereoscopic 3D really helps with a precision game like this.

I wish this game would get more support but trying to find random people online is impossible... or am I the only one with this problem?

If they make more DLC I want my man Squidward for the roster.

He could also have said that Switch isn't powerful enough and we'd get under 30fps version but saying that is bad for business. Yeah, they could hire some super porting company to port it for Switch but maybe they don't want to throw money for that. How much would Yakuza sell on Switch? I don't know, propably more than those japanese only Wii U ports.

I mean... it was a bare minimum remake that lacked the charm of earlier remakes and I only borrowed it from the library for free. But best game award? Why? How?

Oracle of Ages back in 2002. I really liked the puzzles in that game so I found some earlier Zelda's like A Link to the Past a little lacking in that department. I've played trough every main line Zelda and spin-off since. I love this series!

I started playing competetive Pokemon TCG during Platinum set and played until year 2016 so I know more about the EX era than old ex era. These HP numbers have become quite massive.

Nah, we need more complex tracks with nice jumps and boost pads like Rainbow Roads. I'm much more of a Crash Team Racing and Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed fan and that fact won't change unless they make Mario Kart 9 into something truly amazing.

Or they could make a follow-up to my top 10 favourite game ever, F-Zero GX.

For me , Dahlia is one my least favourite main villains in the entire series. Spirit channeling works the best for me when it's used for a support purposes, not for bringing a really annoying main villain to the court who is already dead. Even the much hyped final trial of TaT itself gets way too much praise to my liking. Personally, I much prefer the final cases of AA1, AA2, AA5, AA6, AAI2, etc... Yeah, Dahlia is a villain you are supposed to hate because she is so manipulative and pure evil, I really get that. I've just seen a similar villain done better in many other stories and being far less annoying to witness as a player/reader/watcher.

My personal favourite villain is from AAI2. I've played every other AA game other Great AA Duology (someday I'll play those too).

Ah, Lost Zone. Reminds me of the time when I started playing competetive Pokemon TCG (I played for about 7 years).

Gamecube era might still be my favourite... minus the lack of Nintendo's own online games on Gamecube. F-Zero GX is still my favourite racing game and it came out almost 20 years ago. F-Zero GX controls so well too: you go at insane speeds and do sharp turns without the use of brakes.

In a better world, F-Zero GX outsold any Mario Kart.

The last time I played a combat racing game was Jak X Combat Racing on PS2... and that was in 2015 because when the game launched in 2005 I didn't have a PS2 or knew anyone who had that game. Jak X had a really good handling for the vehicles but what I especially enjoyed was the fact that every button did something. It was certainly more complex than your average kart racer. I miss the time when Naughty Dog's fourth entry in any series was a racing game. Still waiting for Unkarted and The Last of Karts.

Thank you Kit.

There seems to be one "0" too much in the article. This thing is massive!

Run and gun levels were only added because some people complained that there can't be "just a boss rush game without anything else but boss fights" (they were wrong). Not that those levels were bad but bosses were the main focus of Cuphead so I'm glad DLC has only boss fights.

@sdelfin
I can agree, I've played much harder modern games too. I enjoyed the original Cuphead a lot and spent a good 8 hours playing with my Gamecube controller. Meanwhile a friend of mine complained that the game was too short and completed Cuphead in 2 hours with a keayboard.

If I had a set of Dragon Balls, I would ask all NFT's erased from the face of Earth. Or maybe just asking for world peace would achieve the same thing.

Just rerelease F-Zero GX with online multiplayer if you don't want to make a new one Nintendo.

I'm glad more gaming communities are making their own Nintendo Direct style broadcasts. I'd still like to see Mother 3 get an official release but I'm happy for having the original japanese version and a fan translated reproduction cartidge on my videogame shelf.

The first non-Nintendo Direct one I saw was Rivals of Aether Direct in 2018 right after a Smash Bros tournament.

I guess the rarest game in my collection is F-Zero X Expansion Kit for N64DD. It's such a shame this gem with an awesome 3D track editor was never released in the west and propably never will. But hey, emulators, am I right?

@LiNeR
Nintendo giving actual prizes for tournaments will never happen under current leadership. But maybe in the far far future.

Choose your adventure books are really fun, I hope this gets fan translation.

@smithyo
Mother 3 is one of my favourite games ever and also the first in the series I played. Easily a 9,5/10 game for me. I later played 1 and 2 and unfortunately, those experiences were more like 5/10 and 7/10.

I'd like to see another platform fighter in future EVO events. We are getting more of them and while I doubt any of them will ever rival Smash Bros in sales numbers, it would be interesting to see others get that honor.

@GraphicJon
Really? Maybe it's time to sell my copy of it. I've been a huge JoJo manga and anime fan since 2012 but All-Star Battle just wasn't my thing.

I'm so glad Hades is still getting awards.

Any company that wants to burn the Earth with NFT and mistreating their employees can crumble for all I care. I just wish these people get employed by a better company.

This was a really nice thing to see while I was walking to work yesterday.

I have to check if I have any gold coins on my japanese account.

Windjammers 2... where are youuuuuuu?

I wonder how many people complaining here have never played this game. It's an amazing co-op experience. I personally would have chosen Metroid Dread but I also can't wait to see the next co-op only game by this studio.

@Zuljaras
@MajorTom
Thank you! People like you prove there's still hope for the Nintendolife community.

All the more reason to hate these companies.

This is one of the only times I'm glad Nintendo closed something.

This is the most important game release in the history of videogames because of Waluigi's debut.

They should release it soon. Winter is coming.

Can't you just call it platform fighter like the person who tweeted this?

It actually happened.

There are FIVE sets of AC amiibo cards?!?

@clianvXAi
The game only restricts your movement in certain places. You visit previous areas a lot and there would be an overwhelming amount of places you could go to when progressing in the story. Of course you can gather a lot of optional upgrades along the way and the game really opens up once you have all the abilities.

I didn't use markers at all so no chance for error screen. I'm so glad this game doesn't underestimate players skills. Check points are plentiful and the game pushes you to do better.

1. Ace Attorney Investigations 2
Haven't played Great Ace Attorney yet. Never really got the hype for Trials and Tribulations, I hate the main villain (and not in a good way). AA1 and AA6 are my favourites from the main series.

I just hope this becomes big enough for a sequel. We need more platform fighters with bigger IP in it, not just indie ones. I know it's hard to compete with Smash Bros' 20 year history, a game that has characters from the last 40 YEARS! I'm glad that Ludosity got a chance to work with these characters and I'm excited to play this myself.

@Dr_Corndog
Me too. I'd rather just have the levels at display, not a giant ?-block.

I just want to main Squidward.

I highly recommend the video by Karl Jobst that was mentioned in the article. This insanity needs to stop.

You forgot to mention the fact that this is developed by the creators of Slap City, a great indie platform fighter. This game will have wavedashing and rollback netcode. It's gonna be gooood.

@nessisonett
Congratulations! Finland on the other hand has never been in Euros before. I wonder if our team will ever get to World Cup.

@BenAV
I was just thinking about buying it yesterday, glad we got a demo.
