The F-Zero AX machines can still be found in some cities of the US, Japan, as well as France, Spain, Netherlands and Russia (which has more AX machines than Japan does now, curiously) and some other countries. A total of 250 arcade machines were produced. Only 20 of them were officially imported into the US and run the English version of the game (Sega Triforce is region-free, but with some caveats). Now there are about 100-120 machines that exist in the world. Needless to say it's an ultra-rare arcade game from the start. I recommend you all to play the Deluxe model of F-Zero AX, the one with the motion seat, a deluxe sound system and rumble. There's a map and a list of all known F-Zero AX machines locations on the internet. It's also worth noting that more machines are now in the hands of private owners taken for preservation during the past 3 years, some of them take the machines to various conventions.

@@orangeslash1667 Each of those racing games you mentioned are wildly different from each other. 3D F-Zero especially. No other game series plays like those. 30 racers on the same track at once, plus incredible high speed, and that's to say nothing about how wild the tracks are. There's also the ability to spin attack and side attack. (Plus built-in track and vehicle editors, character interviews, movies) There very few that feel or look like the F-Zero Games. Other anti-gravity racers usually do not replicate this. Fast Racing Neo doesn't have as many racers present on the scene, but it becomes important to know which color to switch to not only heal energy but speed up. Horizon Chase Turbo is a lot closer to games like Top Gear or Outrun, where you do have to outrace opponents, but tracks are built differently there. You don't really fall off course like in other games, but you do have to weave in and out of traffic a lot. Plus, tracks are a usually "flat" in comparison to the other games. It's how they're handled that really sets that game apart from the others you list. Cruis'n Blast is also hugely different because you're mainly drifting and speeding up a lot on a lot of tracks that are Point-to-Point races. Not only that, but said races feature more detailed environments than the other games listed. You really feel like racing in Hollywood style set pieces for these tracks. Every time I see "F-Zero feels to similar to everything else" it triggers a defensive reaction because that's a clear lie. And I'm not going to hear that Mario Kart is the same as F-Zero. No it isn't. Thinking that F-Zero or other racing games don't stand out is inherently flawed thinking.

Now a days multiplayer is a big selling point in racing games but F zero is not known for multiplayer. There are arcade racers out there that probably more accessible in multiplayer than GX. Nintendo doesn’t see the point in extremely hard single player games now a days. Another problem is that F-zero X had to sacrifice graphics for frame rate. So there’s a big chance that a modern day F-zero would have reduced frame rate because the game is too ambitious.

Since the release of Metroid: Other M and that game selling less than the Prime games, we have seen many 2D Metroidvania games come out and basically do what Metroid has done before but differently (sometimes better), so if you ask me, Miyamoto could employ that same question to the Metroid IP, how could Metroid standout from other Metroidvanias that are coming out as of late? However, Metroid Dread has officially proven that Metroid can indeed standout on its own even in a sea filled with cheaper Metroidvania games as it became Metroid's best selling game ever. This shows that the IP itself does indeed stand out despite many other games having similar gameplay and level designs existing; so really I do think F-Zero could indeed standout among the other futuristic arcade racing games, it just needs to be a good game, and be marketed rather well by Nintendo.

All games had high quality, passion, creativity, drive to innovate past the previous generation (NES). FZero, Kirby, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Earthbound, Fire Emblem, etc, all going strong with solid SNES releases.

Given the game's long absence there could be a plot where the original Falcon is missing and the other heroes have to compete to see who deserves to be the next Captain Falcon. We could also be shown what happens off the track - the moronic conversations between racers, the activities done offseason, and what kind of crazy personalities manage the grand prix

Giles Goddard's F-Zero could be the one entire new big thing that Nintendo needs for a new F-Zero game

Back in the PS3 era, Sony had an MMO space, that would now fall under the asinine metaverse naming, called PlayStation Home. Within PlayStation Home there were different worlds, or spaces, with different games, one of these home spaces was Sodium, which contained two games, a tank-like shooter called SodiumOne and an anti-grave fast-paced racer called Sodium2, all developed by Outso and published by Lockwood Publishing, SCEA, and SCEE. I don't remember much about One, but 2 had a ton of unlockables and customization, as well as it's own in-game hub area for between race stuff. I think a cohesive world like this is the way F-Zero should go, rather than just racing it should provide more of a world, provide alternate gameplay, have more story to it, etc. I remember loving Sodium, though this was also 2011-2013 for me personally, the entire project was 2009+, probably up until the death of PS Home in 2015? Sadly, with that death of PS Home, there's no access to it, unless there's some revival project I don't know about that also includes the various home spaces, so low quality videos are really the only way to experience Sodium these days. I'm also not familiar with Outso, they seem to be a Europe-based outsourcing team (I guess the name Outso makes sense now), that did some work within only PS Home, developing the spaces for SOCOM, Warhawk, Uncharted, Infamaous, and Resistance, Sodium seems to be their only original project; similarly the publisher, Lockwood Publishing, seems to be a mostly Home-centric publisher, Outso and Lockwood don't even have their own wiki pages but you can search pages that have their names in them for context of what they've done, with SCEA and SCEE being Sony Computer Entertainment of America and Europe. At the end of the day, Sodium is the perfect template for F-Zero going forward. Online hub world with other activities, a sprawling world, online with a reasonably high cap, the game doesn't have to be super demanding, world lore could be easily shoehorned in, a single player side with an actual story could also be shoehorned in. Combine the template of Sodium with the things Giles wanted to do, throw in the updated visual style that newer alternatives are coming out with, along with the classic F-Zero aesthetic, and it'd be a fairly cohesive game that has a lot to provide, and via that online hub world with side content it could evolve over time; hell, even throw in some generated track segments, one of the previous devs wanted to do it, and there's been other studios that have done similar, for example FOAM Entertainment's Riff Racer that algorithmically generates tracks based on a music file. There's massive potential, beyond just a racing game with a loose story, if Nintendo would greenlight a project; I mean, we've seen similar with Splatoon, we have the online game focus, a hub world with side content, and a single player that has a shifted focus and story, and we've seen how Splat has evolved between titles, there's no reason why F-Zero couldn't follow a similar world formula, especially when Sodium did the groundwork a decade ago and other titles are filling the various niches.

@@jgodden8022 PS Home was extremely niche. I'm not even sure how popular it was, I think it only lasted so long due to how much of a money sink it was for Sony, considering a large amount of exclusive IPs were outsourced and how the three major branches of SCE were involved in it. It definitely catered towards the MMO social world space crowd, so IMVU, Roblox, Habbo, etc., though it was all Sony made/curated worlds and not really custom or personal worlds. I'd say it was ahead of its time, and might make a comeback now that everyone is doing their own metaverse thing. I remember one of the few promoted events I participated in was E3 of some year, long before anyone else started doing digital tradeshows and conferences, and those were mostly a product of the pandemic rather than a feature to increase viewership of said tradeshow. I also remember some minigolf game, disconnected from any IP similar to how Sodium was an original project, basically the proto-form of social golf games like Golf With Your Friends. Maybe it got less niche in its later years, but I didn't get a chance to spend all that much time in it, I just remember Sodium being one of my favorite spaces with the time I did spend within Home. There is a revival project called Destination Home. I'm not sure what the scope of it is, current states, or when an open release is projected to happen. Late October of this year saw a closed beta, but again I have no idea _how much_ this actually covers, as PSH was massive. Honestly DYKG should do a video on Home, both its original iteration and the revival project, there's probably enough content there for an entire series of videos.

I started playing F-Zero GX at the end of 2020. It was a Christmas present from my mum, it was so hard and fun at the same time. I truly hope a sequel by Nagoshi comes out.

One easy idea is to remake some classic tracks into full 3D as one segment of the game. Battle Royale as suggested by some others here. Character-based story missions, a separate new main story to flesh out the F-Zero characters and universe. Customizable drivers to take through the main circuits. Retool upgradeable parts to be won or found during different modes. Maybe even a type of hub world that lets you explore the FZ universe personally for the first time; complete with shops, hangouts, bars, and specific character dwellings. Not even Mario Kart has that yet. Yes Nintendo, there are interesting angles to go with the series.

Thank you for this video! Massive respect for not pressuring Giles to show the demo build for the sake of content (although I hope one day we eventually get to see it)

F-Zero's drastically declining sales are so depressing man. Why is it so hard to sell this series? It's even more frustrating knowing how praised the main character is

I think the series isn't approachable for a mainstream audience. Anyone can play Mario Kart but F-Zero's learning curve and difficulty turn off casual gamers from playing it instead of Mario Kart. F-Zero's difficulty is great for experienced gamers but most people don't want to master a game. Most people just want to sit down after work and play an easy-going round of Mario or Pokemon.

Nintendo gives it poor marketing and it is hard to tell people it exists. It's a bit harder than Mario Kart but it's way more honest.

F-Zero's gameplay is based around kicking you in the dick until you puke up so much you have no puke left- THEN if you've weathered all that, you learn how to play the game. It is hardcore masochism to play, and you know- I like that! But I am one of a very small niche, and most Nintendo fans who like racers would prefer the friendly Mario Kart-way that takes you by the hand and teaches yoi how to play it in a friendly manner, letting you go soft or hard, it's okay buddy, you can do it how you want to. What can I say- Nintendo just isn't in the dick-kicking business these days.

I would do nearly anything for a new F-ZERO in the style for GX. F-ZERO is one of my favorite Nintendo franchises.

CORRECTION: at 1:20 - BS F-Zero Grand Prix never released on the 64DD, it was for the satelleview :) F-Zero X Expansion kit was released for the 64DD

Thank you for shouting it out at the end, but I can't wait for Aero GPX. For those that don't know it is coming out on steam, the kickstarter just ended, and there is a demo on steam.

As someone that loved F-Zero X, Aero GPX is is really fun and from what I can remember, a bit harder. There is a demo on Steam, so if anyone wants to give it a try and fall in love all over again, I can highly recommend it.

We were SO CLOSE to having an unofficial official new f-zero WHY

Man, stuff like this just makes me so sad. Making games is so involved and there are so many pitfalls and barriers to being able to make what you want, I guess it’s a miracle we get amazing games at all, but still… what might have been…

If the formula needs to be evolved to justify a new entry why not add weapon mods that can be unlocked on the final lap similar to how the booster is unlocked on the 2nd lap? Like how in the Speedracer film the vehicles had these secret weapons inside of them, imagine if there were character specific weapons such as Michael Chain firing a hook shot onto another racer to spin them around like a wrecking ball, or the hitman Pico having a sniper cannon, or The Skull being able to drop curse fields that siphon energy. That kind of innovation I think can breath new life into the series. Add a good campaign that's not just for masochists with maybe a Three Houses esque hub that you can walk around to buy parts or take on bounties while being able to interact with the characters and I think that would be a very appealing title for returning veterans who want high speed madness and newcomers who to get into the series.

Nah don't bother thinking about any of that. That's just Miyamoto BS. Racing games are not supposed to be highly innovative, unlike many other Nintendo's franchises. It's not like Zelda. Just look at racing franchises, scifi or normal. Good sequels need to have better graphics, better controls and physics/mechanics, and good levels. Simple. So he's making a bad excuse to refuse reviving FZ.

A big part of the GX series was the music. You can make a copy of the game but it won't feel nearly the same without the sound.

a battle royale fzero game!! random generated tracks that gets more complicated each race and the players that survive the most or even win the race wins, like fall guys or something, that would be an awesome idea for the online multiplayer aspect of a f zero game

a battle royale mode based on F-Zero X's death race mode would be a great way to do multiplayer beyond standard racing. it's such an obvious concept....but Nintendo constantly feels either blind/oblivious, stubborn af or just plain backwards to just use their IPs these days unless they can shoehorn some gimmick into it that will alienate most of the existing fanbase ( unless it's Mario in which case they rehash the same basic ideas and the same handful of characters & enemies and call it a day after thinking up a couple new power ups )

thats actually a pretty genius idea. I don't think anything that comes close to that has been done before, not even Forza Horizon's BR. I think that alone could justify a new game.

"The whole thing ended up falling apart, we'll spare you the details" that sounds like the fun part tho! "Legal concerns" are what keep a lot of lost games under wraps, and if nothing else, I think it would be cool to understand those a little more specifically. Like why is it that showing what's essentially a fan-game in a non-competitive, non-sales, non-pitch context could endanger the future of a company? I think the details of a game's industry legalities are just as fun as the details of the game itself, and would always be interested in hearing about them in future videos.

Even if the legal team was 100% sure they're in the clear, Nintendo might not be happy with them releasing an F-Zero demo to the public.

Nintendo’s had major VR rumors the last few years. If that ever came to fruition, F-Zero HAS to be a part of that. Imagine it. Just imagine it….

Bad timing. F-Zero GX in 2003, with GameCube being poor in reception overall GP Legend and Climax which came way too soon on GBA when DS was getting ready to launch. The anime being 52 episodes failed internationally. Didn't even get halfway done in United States. And ate up budget that would have been used for a potential DS or Wii title.

Excellent video, I miss playing F Zero X

I’ve been wanting a new F-Zero for soooo long, I got the Snes one, F-Zero X, GP Legend on my Wii u, I got Fast Racing Neo on Wii u, Fast RMX on switch, I’m gonna get Aero GPX (hoping it comes to switch) and I’ve been trying to get my hands on a copy of GX for years. It’s great to know that there’s devs that still want to make a new game, hopefully this’ll mean something in the future 🤞

I bought the gfx from a retro game store near me for like $20. The problem that I had was yes the difficulty. I legit couldn't get passed the intro. Didn't have time to grind on it. My buddy who I used to work with wanted it. So I gave it to him few years ago as a Christmas gift

the story mode really isn't a great place to start on GX, even some better players struggle with it on NORMAL difficulty. the best starting point for the average player is the main GP on Novice skill, just because learning the physics and driving techniques takes a while and the game will leave no room for error on standard or above. I'd suggest giving it a second shot if you ever get the chance. It's a really fun game once it clicks.

Honestly, I'm over constantly frowning over the lack of F-Zero games. At this point, I ask everyone to put your full support behind Aero-GPX. The demo was mindblowing, and I backed it.

1:17 ig a script error, b/c BS F-Zero 1&2 were on the Satellaview for SNES, not the 64DD. Though, the 64DD *did* receive an F-Zero X expansion in the cleverly titled F-Zero X Expansion Kit.

i PERSONALLY think that OUTSIDE of the original characters, i’d be ok with PAYING for characters outside of the F-Zero universe being in a new F-Zero GX. samus and her spaceship as an fzero vehicle, fox and his ship as a racer, kirby and its star, mario and his zero gravity gokart. maybe even more characters outside of nintendo, like sonic and shaddow with themselves as the vehicle lol

Toshihiro Nagoshi looks like a bad guy from Shenmue.

it doesn't help that the final game released they restricted to Japan, the country where F-Zero has notoriously sold the worst, and throughout the franchise they advertised the game less and less and less. It's the same thing as Chibi-Robo. No shit the game failed, they didn't advertise it, and since the game failed, they advertise the next one less because the previous one failed, but in doing so make an even bigger failure, until they basically executed the franchise because they didn't want to just make a game people wanted and advertise it at the same time.

Oh boy, F-Zero GX... played that since high school TBH. Me and one of my friends jokingly (tried to) introduce the game to other friends saying they'd need teflon fingers to play this. Sure enough, the two of us were in a tier of our own among the players we knew. Never really got to play it with anyone else, sadly. But these races we had together? Heck, our races were so intense and close, often needed to be counted down to the 100th of a second or less, that we often made the GameCube lag. Good times!

"Nintendo are very wary of using old IP...It's much easier to go with a new IP than reuse an old one." Are we...still talking about Nintendo? I guess the most frustrating thing about Miyamoto's "We already gave you F-Zero in the past, what more do you want?" excuse is that there is currently no way to play a majority of these games on the Switch. Yeah, you can play the SNES game via Nintendo Online and the N64 game if you shell out for the Expansion Pass, but what about the GBA games? What about the Gamecube game? They're not re-releasing their own library, expecting us to...I guess pay exorbitant prices to third-party sellers to play on hardware that's well over two decades old? Because emulation will apparently get you sued. What more do we want? _Access to the franchise, Miyamoto._

The same way Starfox Adventures tried something different even if it was built off Dinosaur Planet and a shameless Zelda Copy. I liked it as a kid and still do as an adult. I’d even go on to say Star Fox Adventures is one of the best things to happen to the series. It's a really solid and classic pulp sci-fi premise, and it added a lot of depth to the usual affair. The fact that it started off as its own idea kind of proves how stagnant, stale and 2-dimensional the series would've been without intervention. It was the last real effort in the series. Hopefully, one day people will be able to understand this.

7:45 has me thinking... Of 'F-Zero like games', a really underrated one in my opinion was Powerdrome for the PS2. I wish I had more local friends to play that with even today...

F-Zero was the first game I ever played Thanks to relatives, I grew up with gaming and really appreciated and respected old hardware/software that came before my time. Family gave my older brother and I their hand-me-down gaming stuff they no long played, and my brother and I had a BLAST! (SNES, N64, Sega geniuses, and game gear too. From there it all started) I played the Original F-Zero and BOOM I was hooked. F-Zero X will always be my favorite though. I've always wanted my favorite racing series to come back one day but it seems like this series will remain dormant for an unknown amount of time. I really hope a new game will be upon us after all these years it really would be awesome! I know for a fact my bro and I would definitely pre-order ourselves a copy each! F-Zero deserves better than sub-par care. More the just SSB stand alone or Mario Kart slap-in-the-face. Have the SNES launch title and true racing experience of Nintendo FINALLY return. (Maybe StarFox crossover eastereggs, and maybe Amiibo support too? Come on, those two series futuristic scifi series have always been teased throughout bits like references, technology, James McCloud and such.) But seriously Nintendo, bring F-Zero back PLEASE!

Thank you lythero for being in this episode.

Giles should crowdfund his F-Zero style game on Kickstarter if Nintendo isn't going to do it. I would donate right away. Nintendo needs to realize that GX didn't sell well because most people had a ps2, and the GBA titles did even worse because, well it was on GBA, not exactly the best platform for high speed racing. And they took F-Zero back to 2D flat levels. Now that the Switch is one of the best selling consoles, now is the time to revive it having significantly more potential players. They don't really need to innovate, just make a great core experience with new tracks. Maybe add in a character and vehicle creator, and throw in an online multiplayer mode. Create beautiful worlds to race in, and maybe a hub area players can run around and explore, but in the end we just want to race.

Aero-GPX is so far the only F-zero-like game that felt like F-zero. Fast, Redout, and the others are great but they all feel more like burnout. I am sure Gile's attempt at a fast futuristic racer will be great, but the idea of pileups and blown engines might interfere with the unique feel of F-zero.

0:49 so thats why f-zero gx and yakuza music sounds so similar

I'd be much more than happy with F-Zero GX on Switch. But an F-Zero GX REMASTERED on Switch would really fly my kite!

falcon punch

after playing motorstorm apocalypse ive been dreaming of a f zero game with track deformation and destruction,scripted events etc.The future sci fi elements would give so much freedom: imagine racing on a track that circles a black whole;or racing through a volcanic planet raging eruption;or a race on a planet with huge tsunamis like that of interestelar movie...That would be the thing Miyamoto San was looking for when it comes tô something never done in the series.

I would love to see F-zero revived into a racing/visual novel. Imagine Cowboy Bebop, Initial D and Megalo Box except it's F-zero. You play as Captain Falcon, contracted bounty hunter. Your mission is to bring down an intergalactic super mafia who runs a corrupt high speed space racing series. To do so you enter the races, travel between different tracks and towns from planet to planet, meet all kinds of cool, threatening, wacky and funny characters, some friendly (they may even be your colleagues) and some not so friendly. Imagine you arrive on the next planet and in the first race there is this local big shot who is clearly part of the mafia and he cheats like crazy, you don't stand a chance. So next you go into a more story driven visual novel part where you end up sabotaging the bad guys cheating scheme and thus you end up winning fair and square and move on to the next GP. Free pitch!

Giles could do a crowdfunding campaign and just ditch the brand for it and call it spiritual successor.

Also: an own IP would not need to be Switch exclusive. Trying probably won't hurt.
