[@satnav2000]

When I played this as a kid, I never thought the tracks were high up in the air with cities and roads beneath. To me it looked like the track was surrounded by some kind of circuit board.

[@repeekyraidcero]

True, but very bada$$ circuit board.

[@pathutchison7688]

Same. The fact that the “city” goes past the same speed as the track is why. If they wanted it to look like a city below, you shouldn’t be passing it so quickly.

[@AtlasBlizzard]

I never realized that's what it was supposed to be! Thanks.

[@htggytfytt1]

@@pathutchison7688it's crazy how something seemingly as simple as perspective is something that game developers hadn't quite figured out yet. Sonic 2's Aquatic Ruin Zone is a great example of some terribly botched perspective issues.

[@pathutchison7688]

@@htggytfytt1 that’s a great point. That’s an excellent example as well.

[@brickman409]

Mike is so focused, he never blinks nor does he look away, it's like his eyes are glued to the TV screen.

[@JamesNintendoNerd]

F-Zero will do that to you! It's intense! - Mike

[@Nastybeanlady]

Cinemassacre Mike you made me laugh pretty hard a couple times, congratulations

[@fetamean]

Sorta reminds me of the chick that couldn't keep her eyes off Mike's 420 meter donger

[@MrVarhansen]

lol have you ever played F-zero GX? (gamecube) on master mode, you literally could not blink, and you had to memorize every second of the level. i beat every f-zero through and through, and i still to this day look at it as my greatest gaming achievement. these games were so satisfyingly challenging. i can't believe Miyamoto himself has said "i don't understand why people want a new f-zero game". .... that to me, is a very sad statement on numerous levels.

[@JunmaiShu]

and that is why the man NEVER SLEEPS!...

[@MrPanduhhh]

When James says "It's almost hypnotizing" look at Mike's face hahahaha xD

[@SlimeBlueMS]

lmao completely tranced out

[@alphalax7747]

He remembered of the most embarassing thing that he has ever done at that exact moment

[@alphalax7747]

Also look at his face at 4:38

[@Randomark3087]

Mute City is one of the DLC levels in Mario Kart 8, and it's friggin' badass!

[@gab_v250]

Also Big Blue, and both of the levels got integrated in MK8D for the Switch

[@JazGalaxy]

Hilarious. Mike talks about how he would never use donkey kong in mario kart while simultaneously using fire stingray in fzero, where that car plays the same role. Slowest acceleration but highest top speed.

[@ianflags]

yeah, exactly!!

[@RadicalRaymondd]

yeah but mario kart has items that cause you to slow down which causes a low acceleration to be a problem. Here unless you crash you are good.

[@Bazerald777]

He probably loves Stingray for the design as he isn't even aware of the difference between the cars. Well at least I love using Stingray because of the design.

[@Youtubeaccount369]

mike doesn't like donkey kong because it's the only character with a bigger shlong than him

[@JazGalaxy]

***** That was one thing I appreciated but didn't like in FZero. You couldnt just pick whatever car you liked, because they all had different roles. Pico's car, for example, was great if you were a novice and needed to learn the tracks, but once you could keep from damage, you pretty much couldn't ever pick it, if you wanted to be competitive. At the same time, though, I dislike the newer games allowing you to customize your car. It seemed to take the point out of their differences.

[@MaskedRider_FAIZ]

I seriously wish Nintendo would just take a break from giving us Mario Kart, and just fucking bring back F-Zero.

[@Sc0pee]

Mario Kart's theme is just better imo. I don't think F-zero is necessarily that much harder Though, but Mario Kart is definitely more random.

[@agonleed3841]

Sc0pee play blur. I need another Blur

[@dustinthomas226]

6 years later, they listened, just no f-zero

[@Peter_1986]

"Fast RMX" from 2017 on the Nintendo Switch is very similar to the "F-Zero" games in lots of ways, so there is that at least.

[@TheGameChasers]

I never liked racing games but this one grew on me really quick.

[@JoakimOtamaa]

Same but I really like Crash Team Racing.

[@retrogameraaron4778]

SNES had such an amazing launch year - Super Mario Word, F-Zero, Pilotwings, Super Castlevania IV, SimCity, Final Fantasy II, Actraiser, Final Fight, Gradius III, Super R-Type, U.N. Squadron, Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts, etc. SNES will always be my favorite system. And it would be awesome to see you guys play through the Metroid games. Super Metroid and Zelda: A Link to the Past are probably my two favorite games on the system.

[@benaaronmusic]

Zelda: A Link to the Past was so good! Amazing. Hope they play it sometime.

[@zackschilling4376]

***** PS2s launch wasnt as good, but it has soooo many great games, plus you have the whole PS1 game library as well. So many great fighters and RPGs, and not a lot of shooters (Sh'mups not FPSs), but the few there is are definitely quality games.

[@TheNewEmphinix]

Other great games for the SNES are Illusion of Gaia, Secret of Mana, Mega Man X, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario Kart, Yoshi's Cookie, Mario Paint. So many great games.

[@groundbeef2]

And don't forget all the lovely memories, memes, and such that were spawned from it.... LOTSA SPAGHETTI (SMW) FALCON PUNCH (F-Zero_ CASTLEVANIA DAH-DAHDAH (Gamegrumps own JonTron) TORNADOES EVERYWHERE (SimCity) GODDAMN MALBOROS (Final Fantasy... seriously, fuck those things) and ONE OF THE HARDEST FUCKING RETRO GAMES EVAR (insert Super Ghouls 'N' Ghosts theme here)

[@retrogameraaron4778]

i love how this game has only 4 playable machines amd the next game jumps it up to freaken 30

[@sethwarrior9719]

damnit he's wright about the g.pigs

[@Gibbidens]

Seth Warrior ahaha, right, F-Zero X for the N64 and GX for the Gamecube are the real massacre, and speaking about characters, Nintendo tried really hard developing them, and most of them are really well done and polished on both version, but they're also huge assholes when you have to race them, and that kinda makes you satisfied and pleased, when you have to demolish them in that alternate version of King of the Hill, that's more like "Destroy every other vehicle in the race"! ... that was an addicting hell of a game...good memories.

[@sethwarrior9719]

i know wright , i love to use the Hyper Speeder , thats my favorite machine (and pilot)

[@Gibbidens]

oohh, Beastman, i was using him too when i was a kid, but my favourites were Bio Rex, Captain Falcon,The Skull and Mighty Gazelle, because of their awesome shaped vehicle. Fun Fact: I don't know if Nintendo planned on doing this, but when i was playing both games X & GX, Pico and Goroh were always last place and second last place, almost... EVERYTIME, ahahah, poor bastards!

ProjectRedfoot The colour "magenta" actually doesn't exist, it's a complete illusion. That's why you cannot see it anywhere in the visible spectrum - you can see blue and violet, but not magenta.

[@Murrdogg1000]

So many memories of this game. One of my all time favorites on SNES.

[@jasonbrown4526]

James mentioned Super Metroid. That is probably the best action/platformer ever made. That game is near perfection for what it is. It has just the right combination of platforming, action, exploration, and progression and power-ups.

[@NexusArtRealm]

Agreed 100%. One of the few games I have 0 qualms replaying over and over again.

[@linkno1]

It's not my favorite game of all time (it's in my group of all time greats though) but the one thing I can't do with Super Metroid is find a legitimate flaw with it. There just isn't anything wrong with it at all, which is a fucking rare thing to find with even the most well made games.

[@jasonbrown4526]

Ash Boomstick When the game came out, it had a very tight control scheme. Your problem with the controls are probably just that they are dated.

[@jasonbrown4526]

linkno1 You can pull off some extreme moves with the walljumping. It just takes precision. I used to use it a lot to get certain powerups long before you are supposed to be able to. The Power Bomb, in particular, is one that you can get extremely early in the game if you are REALLY good at walljumping.

[@realnigga19]

imo Metroid Prime is better

[@ThePhrygianFingers]

Funny how James says the game is almost hypnotizing and puts you in a trance while Mike is in a trance while he says it.

[@Esonar]

This game is the undisputed champion of Rubberband A.I. I challenge anyone to show me a racing game that the AI cheats so hard to stay tethered to you. In FZero even if you use cheats and jump over half the course in an impossible way the 2nd place racer literally TELEPORTS right behind you. Its actually impossible to get ahead of the person in second place beyond maybe 1 second of distance. Amazing.

[@MaxiM_PL]

That's why Wipeout is king (at least ne newer ones). AI can beat you if you're not driving like a pro even without rubber-banding. Challenging but fair - like Dark Souls of racing :]

[@BenWengerMan]

While maybe not Rubberband -- the yellow car in RC Pro Am for the NES is a notorious cheater, as for several races he'll just start going 3x as fast as you and there's practically nothing you can do about it.

[@Esonar]

Oh my god you are right. I don't know if its worse than FZero but it has to be at least a tie... I remember that. It would make that "WooooOOOOP" sound then just literally take off at mach speed faster than your car could ever reach. The only way to not lose was to make it spin out/crash LOL!

[@RFlash-xc4lo]

cipherrrr I recently played F -zero again on my Snes classic and the AI is bullshit. Im not super amazing at the game but i was killing it on a couple runs, and i could make the tiniest mistake, and the Ai is on me in a second like wtf. A big complaint for me is that they give u a mini map of the course and show ur position on it but dont have other blips showing the other racers. How stupid is that.

[@sneakysnake7695]

Heard of midnight club 3? Make one mistake and you might as well restart

[@DylanBelievesInTheNet]

Nintendo please make a new F-Zero game ;_;

[@MattHumanPizza]

My eyes let in more light when I saw the Title to this video.

[@PeteSkerritt]

Oh, man. F-Zero. Freaking FANTASTIC game; I actually played more of this at launch back in 1991 than I did Super Mario World. (I know that's almost like blasphemy, but it's true) My friends and I would take turns on each track, shooting for the best track and lap times. Aside from that, there'd be a lot of conversation, much like James & Mike were doing here... although the subject matter was about women and music, as well as other video games-- such as what we were playing at home, if we'd beaten any games that week, etc. F-Zero was such a great community game... and, yeah, there was some trash talk that went on, as well. F-Zero was one of the games that I recorded the music from by running the A/V cables through my stereo and then taping music via cassette. F-Zero, Final Fantasy II, Castlevania IV, Batman Returns, and Wing Commander soundtracks would get play in my car... even with the windows rolled down during nice days. It was pretty awesome being able to bring SNES tunes with me on the go. F-Zero X is probably my favorite game in the series, with this game being a very close second. I'm one of the few who isn't really much of a fan of F-Zero GX; the difficulty spikes make the game far less enjoyable for me than the older games, and I'm not really a fan of the new music styles. F-Zero GX looks great, though... that's the game's best asset. Another great episode, guys; thanks for bringing some great memories to the fore for me. Thanks for making Mondays suck just a little bit less.

[@ayobamijoe5879]

very beautiful Do you know about the price

[@Youtubeaccount369]

nice comment! I wish I was there with you my nigga. unfortunately my friends were not as big into games as I was ... yes the music is what does it for this game. the music is so fucking boss.

[@sural89]

Peter Skerritt you're right Fzero X was the best of all,the sound track was fucking badass,i play the shit out of it when it come out....Fzero GX lost the fzero spirit,it became more like another wipeout-like to me,maybe because it was made by sega

Fzero is truly one of the best gaming franchises, but its so underated. Each game in the series only improves on the last. Plus it gave us one of the funniest game characters, captain falcon. FALCON PUNCH! It combines high speed, kick ass music, and challenging gameplay. Pleeeease make another fzero game nintendo!

[@pinoypizza]

Hell yeah the music is catchy. Mute City is my jam, and has had great remixes in F-Zero X, Melee, GX, GP Legend, Climax, Brawl, Nintendo Land, Smash Wii U/3DS, and of course, Mario Kart 8. Mike you mentioned a while back about getting the MK8 DLC. Did you get it and what do you think of stuff like the Mute City and Hyrule Circuit stage?

[@JamesNintendoNerd]

Yes, I got it. The new courses are good. I'm glad they're releasing additional courses. I hope they continue to add other ones. I'm also happy they fixed the "next race" selection that I mentioned. Now if they would just fix the awful battle mode... -Mike

[@DraftyRum]

Cinemassacre um I have an idea in James and Mike Mondays do you only do classic games cause I wanna see how'd you react to geometry dash or call of duty just ideas you don't have to

[@what9681]

Expert isn't even the hardest difficulty in the game. If you beat all three leagues in the game on Expert you unlock Master difficulty, which makes Expert seems super easy. It also gives you a bonus ending cutscene.

[@afrodieter8891]

+what? Yeah but look at them play, especially James. You dont honestly think they would ever get to see that would you?

[@what9681]

***** No, but they present Expert mode as though it's the hardest difficulty when it's not. But as you mentioned, James is absolutely horrendous at games while Mike is pretty good. James mentioned recently that he couldn't even make it into the police station in Resident Evil 2, now that's a truly awful player right there lol.

[@WrongButtonGames]

+what? Look he beat Street Fighter 2010 all on his own, give him SOME credit.

[@what9681]

[@WrongButtonGames]

what? Mike confirmed that it was James in a Q&A.

[@neonfatum]

12 years. It's been 12 fucking years since the last F-Zero game, F-Zero GX, which is also the best racing game ever made, came out. Nintendo are so blatantly out of touch with their fanbases nowdays. Their games are still pretty much the most polished games out there but seriously, they seem so oblivious of what their fans want.

[@CRSH3000]

Holy shit dude you're right. When are we gonna get another F-Zero game? It's been a while since I've been a Nintendo gamer but I'll be damned if another F-zero wouldn't make me consider buying a Nintendo console. I had F-zero X for the 64... man that was badass

[@linkno1]

Whilst I agree with you, I won't say that the lack of F-Zero makes them out of touch. It's kind of a 'tier 2' priority title with Metroid and Starfox and out of the three, it's the only one that hasn't received a sequel in the last 5 years. Remember when the N64 and GBC were the relevant consoles of the generation? Remember how many Metroid games we got across both platforms? None. Samus' appearance in Smash was literally all we got. I don't remember anybody calling Nintendo 'out of touch' then...

[@MusouTensei82]

What would you do if every F-Zero game sells worse than the previous one? There is a reason Iwata was surprised that people want a new F-Zero since they sell so bad. Fans demand a lot but they don't put their wallets where their mouthes are often enough.

[@linkno1]

BrutalOffence Earthbound/Mother is a narrative driven game. Maybe Nintendo don't think it needs another sequel and that those 3 games should be it. I dunno, I just don't think it's a bad thing if a developer doesn't go overboard with sequels. It would be nice if a really good game could stop at a low amount of sequels (or even just 1 game) for once rather than running it into the ground...

[@TailsTube]

F-Zero GP Legend came out one year after GX. It's also an amazing game, and the best non-3D F-Zero by a longshot.

[@shinemperor8950]

My favorite part of this series, is just seeing good friends game. I'm 36, and I swear, when I get together with old friends and do some gaming... It's just like these guys... Everyone has the game they love, but everyone plays... It's a lot of fun... It's why I watch James and Mike Mondays... I really enjoy their friendship... Also, for me, the greatest racing games of all time are Gran Turismo 2-3-4....

[@ShyGuy83]

I remember playing this game once at a friend's house back in '92 and we used to have fun on practice mode and go in reverse and hit the rival car head on, demonstrating Sir Isaac Newton's third law of motion. We both laughed so hard at that every time.

[@BrianBridges]

I would enjoy watching the Metroid games. Especially Super Metroid.

[@SpergerKing]

I'd even settle for return of samus, but it sounds like a few metroid games are in the pipeline.

When I was much younger I found this green silicon chip on the ground. I read it close it said something battery in fine print on it. When I took and placed it near some SNES games I realized... it was actually an SNES game without the gray enclosure on it. I tried to put in in my SNES and turned it on... and BAM it was F-ZERO working and all lol

[@DoppSkates]

No, you didnt. r/quityourbullshit

I always liked Wipeout, I like F-Zero and Crash Team Racing, but Wipeout was the only one I was actually good-good at.

[@chitlitlah]

Wipeout really gave you that sense of speed. I was thinking of it when they talked about the best racing game.

[@chitlitlah]

I played the shit out of Virtua Racing as well.

[@soupalex]

***** Wipeout (or "wipE'out", if you prefer) always felt sort of "slow" to me, in a way... at least, up until you collided with something and came to a juddering halt! Not slow in a "bad" way, mind: the way that the vehicles would gracefully swish and swoop around bends and corners made it feel more like they were fish sedately swimming against a rapid stream. That, and the soundtracks... holy fuck, the soundtracks...

[@ProtoMario]

Better watch it guys, Nintendo might strike ya... =(

[@Marlon2112]

Five years later, Nintendo still didn't.

[@ZeroByteInFlight]

This game is one of my all-time favorites. If you didn't grow up in the 8-bit era, it's hard to understand just how revolutionary this game was. Look at 8-bit racing games like Pole Position, Outrun, Pitstop II, Rad Racer, etc. They just drew a generic road on the screen, and it bent to the left or right in varying amounts and the car was slung to the outside of the turn with varying amounts of force. Even a hairpin turn where the road comes right back beside itself - you didn't see that coming up - the turn just bent really quickly, and then straightened up really quickly. In F-Zero, you can see the roadway coming back towards you after the turn, and see the cars driving along it towards you as well. That was what really impressed me about this game at the time. Of course the awesome music and different handling of the four cars were awesome too. ;)

[@Applesgosh]

I really enjoy coming back and watching this one.

[@Bradwinner99]

F-Zero is one of my all-time favorite video games. I can't count how many days after school I would spend playing. I also used the red car exclusively. I practiced enough to where I could always get a good launch off of the line then swerve right to have Captain Falcon rear-end me and give me a nice boost.

[@driverkaldie]

I thought the best stage was the "Silence Stage", it also had the best music of the game on 7:48. Very relexing ending music as well...I used to hate the windy stages, overall it was a great game and I bought it together with my SNES Mario Allstars Pack !

[@TheRebelofGaming]

Alright! F-Zero will always be remembered for me as one of the first SNES games I've played. Come on, great soundtrack (Mute City, Big Blue and Red Canyon are my top faves), intense driving and beautiful Mode 7 just made this one of the best. Fun fact: I've actually beaten the entire game in all leagues and difficulty settings in one run when I was 9. Sure I lost some lives occasionally but made it through. True story. 😃 Great video guys!

[@MrNamegame]

Usually I find that you can actually get a smoother and faster start if you are keeping the engine sound at a lower pitch, and THEN gunning it. Instead of just bursting forward and then instantly losing 90 percent of your speed right off the bat, you actually get a firm kick off the line that doesn't slow your cruiser down instantly after starting. It takes practice but it's helpful.

[@kg9800]

Hey Mike, another great video. Keep it up. I love this series.

[@cgrant26]

We used to play this with the music off and blaring songs like Filter's "Nice Shot" or Smashing Pumpkins' "Cherub Rock" on the stereo. Good times. For that weird mix of zen and intensity, Wipeout XL and Gran Tourismo II on PS1 are right up there with F-Zero. All good racing games.

[@AudraBurgess]

F-Zero X and Star Fox 64 were my favorite N64 games.

[@SchnookumsTheNightFury]

It just looks like a gray minus sign...

[@AudraBurgess]

Schnookums ok

[@AudraBurgess]

Schnookums done and done

[@SchnookumsTheNightFury]

I still can't see it! D: Can you post it privately with just me so that I can see it? I'M SORRY BUT IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY D:

[@AudraBurgess]

Schnookums its ok

[@franciscooteiza]

James, Mike, please review NiGHTS into Dreams... on Sega Saturn. Thanks and keep the show on the road. Kind regards from Spain :)

[@prophismusic]

James & Mike are BOSS

[@gingee7566]

Thanks for the long J&M Mondays videos, guys

[@flobanez]

One of my favorite soundtracks....this game is classic, love this game. So glad they did this.

[@StevenThomasGaming]

The music of this game kept me playing for hours. Developers now a day try to over think all the aspects. Sometimes they need to remember KISS. Keep it Simple Stupid.

[@StevenThomasGaming]

Damn straight I have!

[@conorhorn2471]

Lol

[@th1s1guysays1]

Play Super Punchout for SNES!!!

[@cinedelasestrellas]

The instruction manual explains that the guard rail-type things are actually anti-gravity devices that suspend the track at some height (I forget how high - I think a few hundred feet) above the ground, hence the fall and subsequent explosion should you happen to hit a jump and land off of the track.

[@pileggitech]

Has to be one of my all time favorite early SNES games. Right up there with Super Mario World and A Link to the Past.

[@GeorgeWroe]

I've just got this game and I'm finding beginner mode quite difficult! Haha.

[@vpajuluoma]

If you like it you should try F-zero Gp legend, it's really fun

[@ProjectRedfoot]

Also check out F-Zero X for the Nintendo 64!

[@Peter_1986]

F-Zero X for the N64 is golden, that game does an even better job than F-Zero in making you feel like you drive extremely fast.

[@supercloakedjr1674]

+Laurelindo whats your opinion on GX?

[@retrosoul8770]

FINALLY, someone other than me who understands Max Velocity and learned that you have to tap A to corner properly! I think Nintendo stabbed themselves in the foot by adding that mechanic in because it wasn't intuitive to the player that you had to do that to play the game. Max velocity took everything wrong with the Snes F-Zero and perfected it, and all because of the "blast turns" thing, it's criminally underrated. Shame, its an amazing game. My favorite however, is the King of Arcade racers imo, GX. And I really love X as well, a phenomenal franchise that Nintendo will never bring back...

[@rickrude23]

Hey mike, I'd just like to know what makes the Atari 2600 your favourite console of all time? I mean I'm 31 and I even consider it a bit to old and dated.

[@trappedintime]

The music from this game is timeless.

[@not_riley]

to answer the guy on the left at around 11:55, pulling back keeps your speed maxed. If you don't your speed drops and you can use as many as 2-4 seconds per lap. As for the speed runs, the red cars is the ONLY car that is used in the snes Fzero because of its superior top speed.

[@johanpettersson6995]

Hey guys! I have been watching pretty much every episode of everything you have done, and really appreciate everything. I consider you guys pretty good gamers after what i've seen. Bootsy seems to be a gaming god beating games hard as shit and Mike beat Tyson, but now it turns out that James have been showing off on some titles (Batman NES, Ghosts n Goblins SNES, Shadows of the empire). So to the question: How do you two guys think you match each other i terms of game playing skill? And have you tried competing in a game or excelled compared to others in a computer game or console tournament? Keep up the good work! Cheers

[@johanpettersson6995]

Also you should consider Pocky & Rocky for James and Mike mondays. Hard as a fossilized turd when I last tried it, but beat it as a kid =)

[@videogamenetwork6728]

jesus christ Mike is so focused on the screen

[@TheCorose]

I remember this game and top gear, i spend so much time playing those games.

[@UponDemise666]

The F-Zero that came out w/the N64 was absolutely phenomenal & a perfect addition to the F-Zero franchise. Other than the OG on Super Nintendo (the game they're playing ^), the 64-sequel is my favorite "racing" video game. Star Wars: Episode 1- Podracer rounds out my top 3 in general.

[@65637guy]

Gotta get me a super nintendo again. Screw emulator's

[@jacknedry3925]

Starman Deluxe, Nope, Real hardware or nothing!

[@Fasttony64]

Zsnes works great though

[@jeremysegal1334]

L and R? Speed boost? What the???

[@RivingtonAve]

Beautiful MODE 7! Notable mention to the music too. This game was definitely ahead of its time.

[@mcgibs]

The reason the races take place so high up in the stratosphere is for less air resistance. Also, I liked the lore / flavor text the manual had for each track. IIRC the planet Silence takes place on was a popular honeymoon spot for vacationing newlyweds.

[@NightFlyStudio]

So...Nintendo thinks people don't want another one?

[@dorflog1]

Wait... Its not called Grand Prix but instead Grand Pri with a silent X? Damn I feel stupid now.

[@KazzKobb]

Yea its one of those words where u have to hear the correct pronunciation from other people lol

[@fletchy40]

Grand Pricks

[@wanderingrandomer]

I think everyone thought that as a kid.

[@nobel11]

I had the same problem with Corps and corpse.

[@danersson]

its french, so dont feel too stupid - means "prize"

[@gigatron2008]

one of the best soundtracks for a video game!i cant recall how many hours ive clocked when this came with my SNES. I also beat it on Expert wasn't too hard once u learn all the tracks

[@garystumpbeats8831]

Wish you would bring this series back. So many fun moments

[@milesgreb3537]

Hes like Stan Lee....you mean Jack Kirby.......

[@fungusonus]

the war continues

[@TrojanVirgin]

on f zero on the n64 i beat all of the levels on master

[@retrosoul8770]

I have as well and beat one just for fun from time to time. I think Joker and King are my favorite cups.

[@TrojanVirgin]

Those were fun circuits, but on master it sucks. F Zero X in my opinion was the best in the franchise.

[@TrojanVirgin]

We can all agree upon that the X cup was the easiest.

[@retrosoul8770]

"On master it sucks" lol well perhaps I'm the greater master here haha, just kidding no disrespect. It's no problem for me, I love the relentless challenge, except I will admit the Giant Hand course is reallllyyy tough. I think that's the one course I've never won during a Master GP. GX imo is the best in the franchise but by a small margin because they're both soo amazing. GX's Chapters 1, 3, 5, and 8 very hard are among my favorite things to do in gaming all together.

[@TrojanVirgin]

Giant hand was easy if you knock everyone off, and if you practiced it so you dont fall off.

[@EnsignN7]

If memory serves, the instruction manual went into depth on what the in-game universe technology is. The cars are hovercrafts and fly about as fast speeds above the planet. The barriers on the side of the track are actually very strong magnets that pull the car into the ground sharply to prevent it from flying off the track. For Silence: The name of silence comes from what the shape of the mini-map does to people (in game universe explains the planet simply has no medium for sound to travel)

[@amnar6082]

F-Zero GX was the best racing game I've ever played. I really would love to see a sequel to this series. It was so hard that I sometimes wanted to break my TV though!

[@81Darksider]

When are you guys going to show off some VR (Oculus Rift) stuff? That would be very cool as it's a very cool device. Think about it! :)

[@cliffy808]

It's HIGHLY unlikely, they review the awesome and terrible old school games. Which is why i love them.

[@JackTheripper911]

If you haven't gotten the memo by now then leave. If you haven't noticed they tend to play games that predate anything before 2000 for James and mike Mondays.

[@cliffy808]

***** because its NES REMIX, games that are still from before 2000, but with a twist.

[@JackTheripper911]

You area bit dense arent you? Of course they will play a few new games. But you arent noticing the trend of these new games are you? They tend to revolve around nintendo... And even then they play the new games they usually end up talking about older games anyways. Out of many james and mike videos how many are really considered new games that arent nintendo? Go find out

[@cliffy808]

I can't remember, was force unleashed a review by mike only?

[@Chrima1908]

When you beat "expert" you unlock the "master" difficulty. That's when the nightmare beginns. That game was so much fun back in the days.

[@fzero65]

This game brings back memories!!

[@pablofmc]

These videos are so cool, listening to james and mike is very interesting. Now i'm playing a game on the psp while listening to this video and it just fits. Keep making videos like this, guys !!

[@thesaskatchewankid]

That got surprisingly intense at the end! Great game and thanks for the vid.

[@stainedskin123456789]

I fucking LOVE that you guys are thinking about doing Metroid games! Hoever, may I make a suggestion? How about James and Mike Mondays through Fridays? I can't stop watching you guys and all the videos from Cinemassacre!!!! Being right around the same age as you guys, I feel like I am right there on the couch reliving my childhood!

[@tsukune007]

I loved this game and still do

[@leroyraymond3505]

Here is the basic car +/- breakdown Red car has the worst acceleration but the best top speed and second best armor. Yellow car has best acceleration but worst top speed and worst armor. Blue car is in the middle but leans more towards acceleration over speed and third best armor. Green car has more top speed than acceleration and has the best armor.

[@weinerblut6869]

Leroy Raymond it’s funny how they didn’t understand about the acceleration vs. top speed thing, right?
