F-Zero 99 has proven the viability of OG FZero gameplay on for modern fans.
My thoughts:
Fans are going to say “This means you should make a new #FZero successor to FZeroGX”.
I’m going to disagree.
What this actually means is you should make F-Zero Maker as a successor to Mario Maker.
The OG tracks are 2D and simple, they could very easily be hand-made by players in an editor.
If I were Nintendo, I’d announce that a successor to FZeroGX is in development. I’d also announce that FZero99 will be expanded beyond the original content. I myself don’t really care about FZeroGX, FZero99 is a childhood dream becoming true, without knowing that this was my childhood dream, so I hope that we’ll be able to play 99 for a while.
