One of Nintendo’s most beloved classics could be set to make a return on Nintendo Switch after an almost 20-year absence.
Nintendo fans have been calling for the return of the F-Zero series for a long time – myself included. The futuristic racing series debuted on the SNES and offered high-stakes racing with speed that made Super Mario Kart look stuck in the mud. Sadly, outside of cameo appearances in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Captain Falcon’s return appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate , fans haven’t had anything new for the series since 2004’s Japan-only F-Zero Climax.
That might be changing sometime soon according to the latest batch of rumours from Nintendo Prime, which state that 2003’s GameCube title F-Zero GX is getting a Nintendo Switch remaster courtesy of Luigi’s Mansion 3 developer Next Level Games. This isn’t the first time rumours of a GX remaster have shown up, as independent video game writer and researcher Liam Robertson hinted at the same thing last August. However, this is the first time we’ve heard about Next Level Games’ involvement.
