F-Zero Z kommt für Nintendo Wii!

Ein offizieller Nachfolger zu F-Zero GX erscheint auf dem Nintendo Wii. F-Zero Z, so der Titel des Future-Racers wird voraussichtlich alle Strecken des Gamecube Vorgängers beinhalten und über einen Onlinemodus verfügen. Ein Waffensystem wurde auch bestätigt. Auf der diesjährigen E3 soll der Titel von Big N vorgestellt werden...

An official successor to f-f-Zero GX appears on the Nintendo Wii. f-f-Zero Z, so the title of the Future Racers all distances of the Gamecube of predecessor will presumably contain and an on-line mode will have. A weapon system was also confirmed. On the E3 of this year is the title by Big N to be presented...


A weapon system D:

Anyway. Anticipation on. GX was one of my favourite games of last generation.


Update:
Kein F-Zero Z für Nintendo Wii
Schande über unser Haupt! Mit einem Blick auf das Datum hätte man es eigentlich erahnen können, andererseits schwirren täglich Unmengen an Gerüchten und Verkündungen im Netz und wir wollen euch natürlich keine noch so kleine Meldung von eventueller Wichtigkiet vorenthalten. Was wir damit sagen wollen? Planet-Nintendo ist auch auf den im Netz kursierenden Aprilscherz hereingefallen... hihi hoho. Es handelte sich bei der Ankündigung eines neuen F-Zero Teils nämlich (zumindest voerst) lediglich um einen Spaß. Unser betreffender Redakteur wird dafür natürlich zur Rechenschaft gezogen und ab sofort zum Latrinendienst verdonnert. Cpt. Falcon bleibt also vorerst noch in der Garage und wir sind alle um eine Erfahrung reicher :-)

It concerned with the announcement new f-f-Zero of a part (at least voerst) only a fun. Our editor concerned is naturally pulled for it to the account and immediately to the latrine service thunders. Cpt. Falcon remains still in the garage and we is all thus for the time being around an experience enriches: -)

Dishonor over their head indeed. I say we send Planet-Nintendo.de to the latrine service thunders! Cpt. Falcon remains still in the garage I guess.

    This is true. It's F-Zero.

    A weapon system... if directly tied to how fast you go, maybe. I can see it working but it would have to be done really well.

    But seriously oh god a new F-Zero game finally.

    F-Zero GX was absolutely perfect. I have not played any other games in the franchise, however I -own- the second GBA one without ever having played it (it was 3.00 new)

    .....weapons? I hate to sound like a whiney conservative, but I really wanted f-zero to never go down that route. It was what differentiated it from Wipeout (especially now that wipeout have magstrip sections, making them more like F-Zeros rollercoaster style tracks).

    I don't think anyone wants weapons in an F-Zero game but I can imagine how they would work.

    God I need to finish doing the Grand Prixs on master difficulty so I can finally unlock the AX cup.

    But it's SO HARD.

    I can't even imagine playing the game online. Even the slightest lag and you'd obliterate yourself.

    The series IS really hard and punishing. Personally I found the only way to beat the FIRST cup on the hardest difficulty in GX was to create a car so fast that it would fly off of the track on certain corners if I didn't do it just right.

    It's so good, though. I've been waiting for news of an F-Zero game for the Wii since the system came out.

    Control scheme, I suspect wiimote/classic controller. I don't see much nunchuk use there.

    They'll probably change it up so as to include Waggle at some point.

    I am optimistic, though.

    I am going to say right now there is no way some random germans can make a better F-Zero than amusement vision. Amusement Vision are the gods of arcade racers.

    Also F-Zero is the one game that Nintendo better not 'touch generation' for the Wii. So help me god If they make F-Zero user friendly...

    This is awesome.

    ...With that out of the way, I'm curious about Sega's involvement, if any. Because really, this game could just be a remake of GX without the memory card rapage and reliance upon mythical unicorn AX units and I'd be set.

    Online would be great too, since this series was always a bit too hardcore for my more casual-gaming friends to get into.

    More racers need weapon systems. Just racing on tracks is pretty one-dimensional. I liked F-Zero GX but it felt wierd to me, but then the only other racing games I've ever played for more than 5 minutes are the Mario Kart and Extreme-G series, both of which involve wheels and weapons.

    I wonder if they'll use the steering wheel with the Wii F-zero.

    What is up with that Z? That doesn't look right. Well, at least it's not the easy F-Zero W or F-Zero Wii.

    Rumors of weapons disturbs me. When I was younger, around the time of F-Zero X, I was thinking a simple weapon system would be cool - some sort of energy attack generated by laying off the accelerator and pressing boost. It would use a portion of your energy bar and fire some sort of energy projectile. I'm sure they'll make weapons work if implemented, but it's all about high speed racing with the occasional bashing into rival cars.

    Anyways, a new entry in the F-Zero franchise is inevitable, whether it be this year or next. I guess we'll find out more once E3 rolls around, whether this rumor is viable or not. Hopefully it'll live up to F-Zero GX... I think I still have three Very Hard Story chapters to complete to unlock everything in that one.

    (Which reminds me... didn't I write a custom parts FAQ for GameFAQs for F-Zero GX? Whoa, that feels so long ago.)

    I like high speed and weapons at the same time. I guess I'm just sad that the only other high-speed racer (XG) is dead D:

    There will probably be an option to disable weapons anyway, if they do implement them.

    My guess is that weapons will be able to be turned off, or used in another mode altogether (much like Mario Kart's or Rush 2049's battle mode, except maybe no tracks exclusive to that mode).

    -Play just like GX
    -Have all of GX's tracks plus new ones
    -Widescreen
    -Online
    -Weapons are in some optional extra mode

    One of the many things I loved about GX was that it was one of the very few GC-games that supported anamorphic widescreen. I'd say that it is pretty much a given that a successor would have that as well.

    F-Zero is hard, I'm not disputing that.

    But it makes it all the more rewarding when you get in that zone and you're one with the game, and you actually pull off the right moves in the right places, boost at the exact right time, and barge into your rival racer at the critical moment of the race that really makes the whole experience for me.

    Cruising comfortably in front wouldn't be the same if I hadn't sweated buckets and cried tears of anguish to get to that point.

    The reason F-Zero is so rewarding is that if and when you fail it's your fault and if and when you succeed it's because you have mastered the game.

    I wouldn't want every game to be like that, but watering down F-Zero to make it easier would be a damn shame.
