I only play the Blue Falcon because I only bought the game for Falcon.

In fact, in GX I still played the Blue Falcon when I had several custom (and hideous) vehicles. The game was a great racer, with amazing visuals; had a terrible machine creator tool.

Also it's the only game I've ever played where I had to pay for the story mode.

EDIT: I mean the only non-bioware game! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Yeah, I mainly stuck to the Blue Falcon myself. It's a bit better than its stats indicate, and having to use it in Story Mode made me accustomed to it.

I personally preferred F-Zero X. Much easier, a little more charming in presentation. Nowhere near as much rage.

I remember playing the original F-Zero on my*

SNES. Fucking fantastic. I loved every minute of it.

X during some time on the N64, but it was until GX where my love for the franchise was cemented. It was just... awe inducing. That being said, the story mode was balls bustingly hard. I liked it. I remember getting a chuckle out of "Captain Famicom".

Never managed to unlock AX, though :/ shame.

Sadly, the create-a-ship mode never worked for me. It always got stuck, so I could never make my super cool awesome ship.

It's not possible to make a awesome ship on that creator. The Gummy ship is better suited for that honestly.

The Acro-Horse Body kit was kinda cool.

It always froze as soon as I entered there ;_;

Also, I was surprised by the amount of plot in that game. From the character bios' and whatnot. I didn't quite expect that.

[up] Oh. Yeah, that would be a problem.

My Rave Wolf-Z was pretty rad, though. Cranking it up to top speed makes it unsteerable, but it was pretty cool-looking and usually handled well.

Agh, I still want to play GX. Well, more of it. My cousins used to have it, then got rid of it... :(

But really, new F-Zero?! #&*# YES.

Not having a wii version was a huge missed opportunity. From the moment the wii was announced with the wheel add on for the wiimote, I assumed a new F-zero would be released.

A new Wii U F-Zero release would be very much welcome.

Nintendo would, again, basically win E3.

That's a given. Nintendo's been winning E3 for the past 3 years.

Given that the big Thing for both Microsoft and Sony has been "rip off the Wii as much as we can," it's not shocking.

A minor complaint I've had about the series is that most of the profiles mention planets that are otherwise absent from the games.

I sure said that!

That is indeed a problem. I'm not saying that they all deserve to have racetracks, but some of those other planets should be seen (perhaps in a prologue cutscene or something along those lines).

You know what'd be a cool idea? A mermaid from Big Blue as a racer. She could have a fish tank to swim in during the Champion's Interviews.

I sure said that!

There are mermaids on Big Blue?

Well, it wouldn't be out of place in a setting with superheroes, aliens, a genetically engineered T-rex, a space princess...

I've played the original, X, and GX, and I gotta say that F-Zero is easily my favorite racing franchise. GX is one of the few games I've played that I actually feel like I'm good at, as I somehow didn't have that much difficulty with anything in the game. Aside from Mission 7 (which I managed to beat on Very Hard on my fifth try, albeit with permanent rage scars on my face), I unlocked everything in the game after about one week of on-and-off play. Despite the difficulty level, I actually found some of the Story missions enjoyable enough that I played them over again just for fun. My favorite had to be the one (can't remember the number) where Black Shadow rigged a bomb to the ol' Captain's vehicle and you had to navigate a tight course without slowing down. I still have the game and could play it anytime, but I last touched it about three years ago on account of having done everything there is to do. Now I'm just impatiently waiting for news on a new installment.

That was Mission 6.

Not a bad mission, but not without its fair share of frustration either. That being said, it did help give us The Tale Of Sephiroth Goku The Stampede.

I somehow managed to beat Very Hard Chapter 5 once. I'm never going to be able to replicate that feat again.
