Regarding the recent F-Zero GX email: I’m confused. F-Zero GX was pretty much the only modern racing game I could stand playing because racing games mostly seem to be driving simulations that are impossible to figure out, yet F-Zero GX felt oldschool in its arcade-like appeal. It was colorful, fast, had awesome music, and controlled like a dream.
I mean, come on. Vowing to never play a game again after dying once? That sounds like the attitude of a hardcore, not an oldschool gamer!
I unlocked everything in F-Zero GX including the arcade tracks. It was the friends I tried to get them into the game, they couldn’t get past the difficulty.
The game just wasn’t accessible. That was its number one flaw.
