Truly, this is the answer lol. We've only been waiting since GameCube era...
Bring back Mario 35.
Tetris and pac man have been fun, but Mario is definitely the best version of this. So fucking dumb that they retired it.
A lot of people are disappointed but I'm enjoying it for what it is! Free game, ridiculous in nature, and I'm actually not bad at it even if it is just one big traffic jam. I feel like it will make me better at the base game.
Isn't it bump into 98 people?
That looks like the point. They brought in using health to boost and spinning from F-Zero X, so just surviving to the finish line takes some skill and discipline.
We need Doctor Mario 99
I'd be happy if F-Zero GX was ported to the switch. I grew up playing F-Zero on snes and really enjoyed 64, but I never owned a gamecube cause I gor into playstations.. anyway I've heard good things about GX and wanna play it, but I'm not buying a gamecube just for that
A remaster with some QoL improvements would be much appreciated. I mean. A straight poet would be great, upgraded graphics would be amazing, but some tweaks would be really nice. Some of it just hasn't aged well, especially the grinding needed for some stuff like unlocking parts. I'll gladly take a port, but a little extra would be nice.
I would love for GX to be ported. I have never gotten it to get past the splash screen on Dolphin regardless of the computer I am playing on.
99 players but a switch ain't one.
Sounds like a fun concept. I liked Tetris 99 and Mario 35, so might try it.
And like that, the Direct just lost any further steam I could've had for it.
It's at least something F-Zero. TBH battle royale racer was already F-Zero's niche. Races always had 20+ drivers and most races would end with some being blown up. I'm pretty sure F-Zero X had a survival mode to be the last one standing.
But yeah this being the original makes it much less exciting. F-Zero really hit its stride with X, featuring a MUCH larger cast, metal music, and faster gameplay.

While you're technically correct, the literal last thing I wanted to hear when I heard 'F-Zero news', the literal bottom of the barrel, was a minimum viable product using 25 year old assets that deliberately plays follow-the-leader chasing genre trends that a romhacker could've made.
Cool. I was pretty interested in it. Hope you find something else.
