So cool to see media from Satellaview games come back. Really hope we see more of those games added to NSO - like the Zelda games that were on there. Also very happy with the GBA drops and have fingers crossed for the 64DD version of X at some point with the track editor.

[@pattersong6637]

Supposedly because it was a joint venture between Nintendo and St. Giga and St. Giga is a long vanished company and no one really knows who owns its stuff Nintendo is concerned about straight-up uploading Satellaview games (so things like remaking Satellaview content into F Zero 99 is different than straight up rereleasing BS F Zero). No idea how confident I should be in that explanation but that's the way I'd heard the story.

It's an understatement to say I basically shit my pants, but I was on the toilet this morning when I read the news, luckily. I've been asking for this since 99 came out. The somewhat uncommon game preservation W for Nintendo.

[@theenettt]

This is gonna sound weird but I really really hope we have done enough as consumers to show Nintendo that F-Zero does have a place on the market, and that we're beyond ready for a brand new, BIG F-Zero game. I love F-Zero 99, but we've been waiting for so long.

[@smallsoul2374]

Honestly I'm just worried that even if we do get a new F-Zero, it'll be the kind of deal where they remove all the pilots except the SNES ones and you only have a create-a-pilot to work with That's probably heavy doomerism but I really love the characters in F-Zero and I _really_ don't want the takeaway from 99 to be "people are okay with no pilots"

That would be sooooo cool! We've been waiting forever for a new game and FZ99 was a great rebirth for the series that's so much more fun than I could have ever imagined in the beginning. Now rereleasing all old games, a GX HD port is the only thing missing now. And a brand new game...man, it just HAS to happen one day!

[@Adrienne_Quelle]

Climax being released (assumedly without translation, a la Super Puyo Tsu) is wonderful to see!

Either one would be wonderful to see.

It isn't snes styled, it's based off of x. The only thing it borrows from snes are the flat tracks

If they could they would have with Monkey Ball as well. But instead they had to remake it from the ground up with a new physics engine (and the one they use isn't as good for physics unfortunately). So they could "remake" it but they couldn't remaster it, and since the physics of GX are it's most important aspect, that wouldn't really work out well.
