Actually, back when the e-cards were released, someone was able to created an e-card printer app that included these levels. You had to use premium paper with a decent printer. So I've played them.
It sometimes seems like Nintendo doesn't really care about the F-Zero series, and that's a crying shame. Can you imagine how awesome it would be to have a new F-Zero with the X Cup (randomly generated tracks)? F-Zero X never got old for that very reason. Add a level editor and you're set for life (or at least for the next 10-year gap with no F-Zero).
This game gets a 9.5 out of 10 in my book. Ghost Valley 1 is the best track of any racing game ever. It never, ever, ever gets old. I wish I had a tally of how many times my brother and I have played that track. I'll bet it'd be in the hundreds of thousands.
I love the string-bass-heavy music. Sounds great with headphones. The game is insane-o hard, though. On the original cartridge, I did unlock the orange title screen after much effort.

It's so salty in here!
Re: Review: SpaceRoads (Wii U eShop)
@ChessboardMan Yeah, it was called Sky Roads. I rather enjoyed it as a kid, but it is insanely difficult.

Re: Reminder: North American Gamers Can Buy an amiibo and Get Mini Mario & Friends Now
I bought Blathers on Amazon this morning, but I have yet to receive a code.

Yay! Got one! Thanks, Cypronia and NL!
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th December (North America)
lol, these comments are hilarious.
Re: Dark Pit amiibo Exclusive To Best Buy In North America
Ugh... so tired of retailer exclusives.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Development of Games That Will Have "Improved" Gameplay and "Enhanced" Graphics on New 3DS
I hope the new hardware makes it possible to play as Ice Climbers on SSB with a character DLC pack or something. That'd be awesome.
Re: Atlus Just Can't Stop Offering Discounts, With Another Round Live on 3DS
@The727Guy Good to know. Thank you!
Re: Atlus Just Can't Stop Offering Discounts, With Another Round Live on 3DS
Anyone played Code of Princess? How is it?

Sega does what Nintendoes also.
Re: Weirdness: Monster Hunter 10th Anniversary Merchandise Includes Electric Guitars and Golf Gear
If I had that kind of money, I would totally buy it. But I don't. So I won't.
Re: Nintendo Ramps Up Its Merchandising Efforts With "World Of Nintendo" Toy Range
F-ZERO?! F-ZERO?! F-ZERO?! F-ZERO?! F-ZERO?!
Re: Pokémon Black and White Soundtrack Now Available on iTunes
Are they in Stereo or Pokemono?
Re: Nintendo Releases An Awesome Mario Kart Infographic
Oh, man. I've put so many hours into each of these. Can't wait for 8!
Re: Take a Look and be Jealous of This Beautiful Monster Hunter 4 3DS XL
@noctowl Interesting. I actually prefer the smaller size, so I'd like to see more Special Editions of the standard 3DS. Not a big deal, though.
Re: Take a Look and be Jealous of This Beautiful Monster Hunter 4 3DS XL
Honest question: Why are special editions of the standard 3DS so rare?
Re: Swedish Speedrunner Breaks Record For Fastest Zelda: Majora's Mask Playthrough
More like Swede-Running... right?... anyone?
Re: Mario Golf: World Tour Takes The Actions Under The Sea
Awesome! I've been waiting years for another Mario Golf!
Re: The Nikkei Reports Potential Nintendo Smartphone Strategy, to be Announced This Week
I would buy a Nintendo phone.

@Blue_Yoshi
None? The whole year?
Re: Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon Figurine Spooked Off Club Nintendo
@JaxonH
True enough
Re: Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon Figurine Spooked Off Club Nintendo
I was thinking maybe NOA was going to wait to see how many pre-orders there were and then manufacture that many figurines. Guess not.
Re: Classic Game Boy Mega Man Titles Coming To 3DS Virtual Console
I lost my copy of Mega Man III years and years ago, so it will be nice to have it back again.
Re: New Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies Trailers Reveal Mature Rating
Doesn't make a bit of difference to me. I'll be getting this as soon as it's released.
Re: Miyamoto Unsure Nintendo Can Make Another "Great" F-Zero Game
At this point, I'd be happy with a 3DS remake. F-Zero X or GX would be excellent in 3D.
Re: Sakurai Aiming To Please "The Silent Majority" With New Smash Bros.
Sakurai is the man.
That being said, can we please get a little more F-Zero love in this one? Captain Falcon has been the sole F-Zero character in every entry thus far.
Re: FIFA 14 Is Coming To Nintendo Consoles After All - Except The Wii U
@MAN1AC I disagree. It only shows what EA thinks of the Wii U, even though they claim to have a 'strong relationship with Nintendo.'
Re: FIFA 14 Is Coming To Nintendo Consoles After All - Except The Wii U
Honestly, I've given up on EA doing or saying anything rational.
Re: Expect More Conduit News Before The End of 2012
Awesome! I love the Conduit series!
Re: Kirby's 20th Anniversary Special Collection Doesn't Suck
Kirby 64 is my favorite game of all time, so this is exciting! I was hoping for Air Ride, but I'll survive. Can't wait!
Re: If Only This F-Zero 3DS Advert Was Real
Oh, man. The English language does not have words to describe how much I want this...
German captures it nicely.
Re: Miyamoto: "F-Zero Could Work on Wii U"
It sometimes seems like Nintendo doesn't really care about the F-Zero series, and that's a crying shame.

Re: Mathematics Proves That Mario Games Are Difficult
Lost Levels is harder than SMB3 and SMW, but Super Mario Sunshine is harder than both combined, if you ask me. That stupid lily pad level...
Re: Mario Tennis Opens Up with New Gameplay Video
If Toad is not a playable character this time, I will poop in a box and mail it to Nintendo.
Re: Sakurai: Next Smash Bros. "May Take a While"
All I want is more F-Zero stuff. Captain Falcon has been in every SSB game, yet no other F-Zero characters have been playable. Come on, Nintendo!
Re: Review: Mario Kart Super Circuit (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy Advance)
This game gets a 9.5 out of 10 in my book. Ghost Valley 1 is the best track of any racing game ever. It never, ever, ever gets old. I wish I had a tally of how many times my brother and I have played that track. I'll bet it'd be in the hundreds of thousands.

Re: Out Now: Nintendo 3DS Ambassador GBA Games
I for one think they picked great games. F-Zero, MK Super Circuit, Zelda... and they're all with me at all times. Thank you, Nintendo!
I will say, however, that I hope they eventually add multiplayer and sleep mode. But either way, no big deal.
Re: Review: Wario World (GameCube)
I definitely disagree. I thought the game was great fun. Plus, Wario's laughs were great.
Re: Talking Point: The Most Memorable Nintendo 64 Games
Pretty good list if you add Paper Mario and Kirby 64.
Re: Point Your Finger at This Layton vs. Phoenix Wright Trailer
This has got to be one of the best ideas for video game ever. Two of the best third-party franchises rolled into one. I CAN'T WAIT!!
