how do you feel about F-Zero 99?
It's not how I would have used 20+ years of pent up energy but it's a cute gimmick. However I don't see it as a form of 'testing the waters' for interest in the series for a couple of reasons: -It's not a direct purchase -It's not building off the mechanics from X So unless Nintendo intends to give yet another series an audience split (2D/3D) then I just see this as a one-off thing, which is whatever. The game itself is fun and does present some core ideas of the series well, plus I appreciate seeing new artwork for Mr. Zero. More than anything I have been enjoying hearing people at least talk about F-Zero more and it being in the consciousness in a way that isn't defeated. I still have some hopes to one day see a new game in the series, but 99 doesn't really sway me one way or the other as to whether that is in the works or not.
Nuclear take: I still prefer this to GX Remaster tbh
