F-Zero X Is Worse on Nintendo Switch - RETRO REVIEW (N64)

[@TheFamicast]

Thanks for including our Expansion Kit footage in your review! We have loads more videos about it on our channel if anyone wants to dive deeper! We'll also be talking about the NSO version on our next podcast on March 23rd :-) Expansion Kit Review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaTOg3ivh559mM0 Direct Feed footage: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4i8emlvacuYopo Stream with commentary / English guidance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaTOg3ivh559mM0

[@adroharv9213]

what a clueless review this was. If you're going to talk about controls then have a clue what you're actually talking about. The original N64 version of this was a delight providing you had a well working controller. The learning of this subtle range is essential you goon and it likely doesn't help that to this day Nintendo still hasn't put out a decent version of this game with a well replicated control. Wii and WiiU versions had a vey jittery controlling even when patched. Have some respect for the players and stuff you're reviewing Just to add then, you're forming an opinion based on your ignorance because you think F-Zero x plays a certain way which it certainly doesn't. If Fzero x played as bad as the time you are obviously having with it in terms of the badly implemented control range then just about anyone will each the same conclusion. You cant remember what it plays like so quite what you are using as a basis for it being a good game is anyone's guess because the gameplay you show is horrendous

[@CrossfacePanda]

When it comes to losing traction, not only does it differ from vehicle to vehicle, you’re also meant to use the fact that the N64 controller has an analogue stick (which, remember, was a new and defining feature of the N64), to carefully maneuver through corners. Like a lot of Nintendo games, F-Zero X was designed around the console and the controller it was made for. So you’re not meant to slam the analogue stick all the way left or right, but rather find the sweet spot required for that particular turn and vehicle, going as far as you need to take the corner, without losing traction. This adds to the game’s replayability, as you’ll play a lot of tracks slightly differently depending on the vehicle you’re driving. And of course, you’re also meant to use the L & R buttons during turns, when necessary. I will agree that it’s not intuitive, and that it doesn’t feel as immediately good as GX’s handling does (I got very frustrated by it as a kid). But once I understood why it’s designed the way that it is, I came to appreciate the depth it added to the game. It ephasizes how F-Zero is meant to be Nintendo’s hardcore racer compared to it’s more pick up and play Mario Kart.

[@TheHardStyleLife]

Hey somebody who get's it = nice

[@GHKuinli]

This all the way!

[@marcbeto]

Right, the differences in hardware make it fill "too sensitive" definitely with a N64 classic controller the game should handle more closely to what the devs intended for it.

[@Chesterfried]

The main problem is the increased sensitivity of the Switch control stick, which makes subtle movements a lot more difficult. I noticed it was a problem in Ocarina of Time when trying to perform spin attacks consistently and it is even more apparent with F-Zero X where accurate control is a must. I'm sure with enough practice it can be overcome, but i would like to see Nintendo do something at the emulation level to better account for the Switch's improved control sticks.

[@chuganoga1908]

Mario Kart is a party racer F-ZERO is a true competitive racer.

[@Nacho_delRiver]

They just don't care anymore

[@napynap]

When F-Zero X first came out for the Nintendo 64, its 60fps racing news quickly traveled to the US. We didn't have this game, so I ordered it from Japan. It came with a plastic adapter so that it could be played on our consoles. I didn't understand the language on the menus, but that didn't matter. After just a few plays I knew what they all were. What a fantastic rush this game was back then!

[@BradfortBottlenose]

I've been recommending the game to friends of mine. Especially if they've neer played it before. I'm glad to see this game back again and seeing all the love it gets online.

The series really needs a remake compilation since it is discontinued and have no sequels by now

I mean, they could just bring that or adapt the arcade one. I mean, what are we on with Metroid prime? In the third version with the rumored switch remake? Why not this?

[@rocketracer-slashk.o.9144]

@@LosRockson well a remake compilation is one of the steps for F-Zero. A simple remake may sound ok just as Star Fox 64 got a remake treatment on 3DS, but if the franchise did not even receive a sequel treatment even after two decades, then a compilation remake is necessary and would be in the right direction for the franchise

[@ajrobson2191]

As someone who has never played an F-Zero game (unless you count the Nintendo land one) I honestly can say this is one of my favourite racing games of all time

[@KingBoo.]

I remember being 4yrs old when I broke my femur bone and F zero was in the hospital for months and this was one of the first video games I ever played. Still a cool game

[@CrossfacePanda]

Still my favourite F-Zero game, especially with the DD Expansion Kit. I know GX tends to be the one most people praise (even though it feels like 90% of people who do so either played it on emulators after the fact, or haven’t even played it at all…). And although GX is very good, and quite pretty, X just has far more enjoyable course design to me. It’s a shame, but not a surprise, that the emulation isn’t up to par. Guess I’ll just stay with my HDMI modded N64 instead. And those who don’t have nor want a modded N64, RetroArch is a very solid emulator suite; just saying ;)

[@JOEmega64]

X is way better than GX. GX is unfairly difficult to the point where it’s just not as fun as X.

[@aronkoppe]

How does one mod an N64 without bricking it?

[@CrossfacePanda]

@@aronkoppe You’d need to buy an Ultra HDMI upgrade kit and install it yourself, or buy an N64 that’s already been HDMI modded. I did the latter, but this was a couple of years ago now, so I don’t know how available they are anymore. Do a google search for “Ultra HDMI”, and you should probably be able to find some stores online that sell some kits, and maybe even fully modded consoles. Juat a heads up, tho: it’s not cheap. I definitely couldn’t afford it nowadays lol

[@CrossfacePanda]

@@Teknoman I always especially loved the backgrounds. Yes, the overall geometry and textures are super simpleb. But those background skyboxes with their mix of retrofuturism and high fantasy, set against purple and orange skies, make them look like environments from old heavy metal album covers.

[@Venom3254]

If it weren't for that pathetic price they're charging for the subscription, I would be hyped over this. But $50 is too much, especially after the issues you mentioned. I'd rather just play it on an emulator on my laptop. I just hope this doesn't ruin it for newcomers. Also for anyone wanting about a new F-Zero or anything, blame Miyamoto for that predicament. Sales aren't an issue with this series, it's just the lack of gimmick options that Miyamoto can't think of that's holding this ip dormant.

I hope the controls get polish in the future. That steering issue really bothers me 😢

[@davidk.8686]

This remaining dude from GameXplain has no clue. Here a few tips and how to approach the game and what made it really great. Slow down a bit before taking a sharp corner and/or don't turn too abruptly, but gradually increase into the corner. Learn how / get used to move the analogue stick very precisely. The controls are super polished (I assume it's the same as it was for the N64), the whole point is getting better at going faster in corners without sliding, that IS the Skill-tree in this game (aka, your left thump controlling skill ). So it will take time to do that for the very tough challenges. It's the danger of sliding that creates the tension and excitement on difficult courses when you try to keep pushing yourself to be faster. So keep doing it and adapt. It'll come to you without any control "fixes" There could be only one reason, that might make my comment irrelevant though: ... Maybe the Switch analogue sticks are not as precisely controllable as the N64 stick was, for some reason.. maybe the values fluctuate more than before, when trying to hold an intermediate position.

[@GameXplain]

@@davidk.8686 You know it's possible to have a difference in opinion without berating others. I beat the Master Class on N64--I know how to play the game (probably not quite as well these days, I admit). In any case, one doesn't have to master something to have an opinion on it, nor do they have to love it even when they do master it. I praised most of the game's handling, but that doesn't mean I can't have preferences for other games that I believe handle some elements better.

(3:57) One time, I challenged myself to come in last place out of all survivors in each race, and still placed 1st overall in the end, because of the sheer amount of KOs I was able to cause to the competition. (5:06) 60 FPS indeed! I knew even back then that the gameplay looked a lot smoother than something like Super Mario 64 or Mario Kart 64. (5:17) Maybe that's why it feels like I've been doing far worse than I feel I should be when playing this on the Switch. Although, I think maybe the analog stick sensitivity could be partly to blame too, since I have trouble nudging it only slightly.

[@hugorodriguez5149]

playing F zero x requires a technique that is unique to two kinds of players me, I like to be in control and tend to not slide by smashing the A button to gain control at high speeds and crossing turnpikes others would slide like hell and go at serious speeds and take more dangerous ways to gain that speed. somehow the game is built solid like a rock, supporting many ways to play it from many machines to choose from as they all affect your unique technique. its stupid fun, and for some reason makes me like it more than GX despite how gorgeous and challenging it is.

I haven't played this NSO version on Switch yet -- will wait until I can buy an N64 for NSO controller at MSRP.... though it seems that may take a while, scalpers love that thing.

Hopefully they do update X-and soon… (Shame they missed the expansion) Come on Nintendo, bring up GX one day! 30 player online sounds pretty nice

Lol

I compared the switch version to the retro pie version. The switch version controls are slippery in comparison.

I still can't decide if I should buy this on Wii U, I can emulate it on PC and my Xbox just fine, not to mention the expansion pack, but I can't shake the feeling that the Wii U one would be the one version that I actually own, but I've bought so much shit with the eShops closing, I don't know what to do!...

n64 games i think on wiiu the color pallet is like way darker, if your xbox is more powerful then your pc just put it on there

[@Esoterik14]

The framerate issues make it borderline unplayable for me. And if youre an Fzero veteran like me, you HAVE to use the N64 controller over the switch ones because the analog sticks are too sensitive.

Welp there's no chance I'm getting the online expansion now!

[@Soup-man]

We shouldn't be paying for online multiplayer in general.

[@mrbanks456]

Or at least wait for a patch. But it seems like this is gonna be a regular thing now... I hate modern gaming.

[@JasonRasmussen]

I played the N64 version A LOT. I think I only saw the framerate studder twice and only for about a second. The Switch emulated version studders all the time and is unplayable in my opinion.

[@ASwagPecan]

we need a new one for switch

[@PrismanSP]

You clearly hasn't played the game very much, it takes time to control the traction, also stop sucking GX so much, it was great game and so is X and considering they are from different times its pretty unfair to say GX is or looks better, they both are pretty great in their own way.
