Hi (Yeah, it's been some time since I was actively participating here),
I was wondering, is the F-Zero series dead or what? The last games for it were on the GBA and GameCube, but Nintendo didn't announce any games for the DS or the Wii :/ I do hope they will make one soon

According to rumours there is gonna be one for the Wii at E3. Its only a rumour though. Series isn't dead, the N64 one on Virtual Consoles has done very well.

As for DS well Nintendo has still yet to bring quite a few of its big franchises to it, and in its eyes it doesn't have to until sales really start to dip.

Well if you want a taste of F-Zero DS i would try out Speed Racer. IT is really amazing and fun i actually enjoy it as much as Mario Kart.

It is pretty fun... but it gets WAY boring after 2 weeks or so.

Ah.. F-Zero.

What was F-Zero on GC like, anyone know? I haven't played any other F-Zero except that which was on the SNES.

It can't be dead

It'll be back on Wii soon enough. It's only early stages of the console.

the GC one was rather good, and HARD at the .. more difficult levels, i have yet to complete it 100% (got so frustrated at it , when they kept knocking me of those tiny tracks >_< felt it was safer to put the game aside)..
I bought it when it came out, long time (+1year) since i last played it..

You know, I don't want to get jumped here, but I have to say, I have always felt F-Zero was a bit overated. I mean, I played it some on the GBA, but just never saw what the big deal for some people was. I even went back and played it again a few weeks ago, just to see if I had missed something. The only thing I kept thinking was "Speedracer on the DS is much more fun than this!". From what I can tell, I must be in the minority.

There is your problem.

So, I guess I have tried the wrong one. In your opinion which is the best version of F-Zero? If I give it another shot, I want to make sure I try the right one.

F-zero on the SNES and F-zero X on the N64 were both very good during their day, although if you didn't really like the gba one then you probably wouldn't be into the SNES version.

F-zero GX on the gamecube has the most features out of all the games: lots of racers, lots of tracks, various unlocks, story mode (bad story), ship builder, 4 player split screen. It gets pretty hard as well, particularly story mode on the 'very hard' difficulty; the story is kinda lame and you can only be captain falcon but the challenges are challenging!

HARD AS HELL

I am usually good at racing games but I can't get past the 6th or so race in the campaign :X It's superfun though, I was playing it in the car on the way up to Tennessee one time and I spent a good 6 hours playing it, without stopping. I never do that except at parties.

I think so. The TV series, which fans are trying to forget, certain didn't help.
Blame 4kids for ruining it. Not only did they cancel it, but they're still hogging the rights so that no one else can dub it better or even download it subbed on the internet.

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood
