Nintendo really has no excuse not to make a new F-Zero title beyond lack of interest.
They've proven willingness to innovate with new ideas before, such as the Prime series from Metroid, Luigi's Mansion as opposed to a standard Mario platformer, making an open world Zelda title rather than the standard linear-style one they'd been constantly making since Ocarina of Time. F-Zero already has the groundwork laid for an F-Zero game beyond racing alone, and they've done such things before such as taking Fox out of his Arwing in Starfox.
They know fans legitimately want a new F-Zero game. Regardless as to wether or not it's a good idea, what's the holdup?
the nintendo sequel flowchart is very simple: - did the game sell well? sequel ASAP - did the game sell poorly? shelve the series indefinitely until someone pitches completely new gameplay that might sell instead
since GX didn't sell well, they won't just make a sequel. but, since f-zero is such a pure racing game, and so good at being that, nobody at nintendo has found a confident alternative direction for the series that would convince the higher-ups it would sell any better.

No, you see if they release a new F zero game they HAVE to try something new, something innovative! just like Kirby had 4 return to dreamland rehashes back to back!
Noah Perry
Don't lie to yourselves, we already know why >SEGA made GX >GX is straight up the peak of the series >Miyamoto seething just like with Rare
>nobody at nintendo has found a confident alternative direction for the series that would convince the higher-ups it would sell any better.
more like nobody's trying.

Gamecube trannies are at fault. If the game had sold well on GC then you better believe we would have keep getting sequels
John Brown
more like why bother why bother making a new F-zero, 1080, Excite Bike/Truck, Kirby Air Ride, Diddy Kong Racing or Wave Race when a single Mariokart outsold all of the previously mentioned combined
Colton Hall
Doesn't stop them from making the mediocre ass kirby games every 2 years
Jordan Brooks
GX was made my arcade vets. Even if they made a new entry it wouldn't be half as good, so why bother
Wyatt Reed
Blame - pause for drumroll - Miyamoto. Yes, it’s fucking Miyamoto that’s putting a block on a new F Zero. Why? Because he doesn’t see how the series can innovate from GX, and he stubbornly refuses to allow the newer staff to make new entries to existing series without approving the projects. He didn’t want a new Star Fox to be made unless he could force it to have motion controls - yes, you can blame him for Star Fox Zero. He doesn’t want a new F Zero to be made because none of the pitches in the past 20 years have been good enough for him, and he also thinks that Mario Kart already fulfills that racing niche for the company already. But when he has his own passion projects, like Pikmin, anything goes. Fuck Miyamoto. When he retires, we’ll start seeing good Paper Marios again, alongside more F Zero and Star Fox.

64 is better than GXs shit broken story and glitches. It's really funny that sega mutts and speed run trannies go around f parading about how good GX is when it's just a broken pile of shit like everything else sega touches
Gabriel Gonzalez
Kirby will always get games because he was Iwatas pet kind of like why Star Fox is still around despite only having constant failures since 64
Isaac Kelly
Nintendo doesn't make Kirby. That's Hal laboratories and their entire shtick is Kirby. Are you being retarded on purpose?
Hudson Lewis
Just play Mario Kart you stupid fucking cucks.
Jayden Martin
aayy I was just playing this on my steam deck
Luis Cooper
Just make the fucking half brawler half racing game starring Captain Falcon people have wanted for over fifteen years already
Julian Robinson
>nintendo must make x game because I want it they do what they want cry more f-zerotrannies
Andrew Richardson
Why does this board read like the angry paste bin for stressed out Nintendo marketing wagies?
William Taylor
why play mario kart when it took them 7 entries to surpass Diddy Kong Racing?
Isaiah Smith
why would i play a dogshit game series that has nothing to do with racing games? >mario kart >surpassing anything
Luke King
Probably because people just spew out words like "cuck" and "trannies" as generic insults that makes them seem really unintelligent.
William Parker
>kart steers for you by default
Benjamin Bell
The real reason is that by making a new F-Zero they would have to heavily dumb it down, or it wouldnt sell to normalretards, even less MK toddlers
Blake Powell
I imagine the Switch just isn't powerful enough for F-Zero.
Carson Butler
yes it is, but nintendo sees the casual niggers has more profitable, there is no reason for them to make a new F-Zero because of that
