City Subway (new, not the actual name)
GBA Cheese Land
GBA Ribbon Road
GCN Baby Park
3DS Neo Bowser City
Big Blue

[Y'all.]

[QUOTE=TectoImprov;47529598]I hope this doesn't mean that F-Zero is dead, this really seems like a compromise for F-Zero fans.[/QUOTE]

better than nothing

I'm hyped as shit about all this Super Circuit love, I knew there was so much potential in that game's cool track settings, even if the technology wasn't there to capitalise on it back then.

Super Circuit is one of my favorite Mario Kart games because of the course designs, even if they were flat due to tech, I could see the potential in their design.

Also, Neo Bowser City is freaking gorgeous:

that big blue remix is absolutely beautiful

Lol Pink Gold Baby Peach in the Baby Park video

Also looks like there's a rail in the middle. Booo

[QUOTE=Kirbunny431;47527175]I wonder when Nintendo will start showing off more tracks. The DLC is almost out and we only know about one track from it.[/QUOTE]

Well I guess that answers that question.

[Stormbuster]

The second DLC means that we have:

2 F-Zero courses (Mute City, Big Blue)
2 SNES courses (Donut Plains 3, Rainbow Road)
4 N64 courses (Toad's Turnpike, Royal Raceway, Yoshi Valley, Rainbow Road)
3 GBA courses (Mario Circuit, Cheese Land, Ribbon Road)
4 GCN courses (Baby Park, Dry Dry Desert, Sherbert Land, Yoshi Circuit)
3 DS courses (Cheep Cheep Beach, Wario Stadium, Tick Tock Clock)
3 Wii courses (Moo Moo Meadows, Wario's Gold Mine, Grumble Volcano)
4 3DS courses (Musick Park, Piranha Plant Slide, Neo Bowser City, DK Jungle)

really solid and balanced retro lineup

[RaikohZX]

As someone who likes video game music, this is just top-notch.

[Flyingman356]

Also 3 "Other Nintendo Franchises" tracks in Hyrule Circuit, whatever the Animal Crossing stage is called and Excite Bike Arena.

I think a Mother stage could be really cool. There was a rom hack like that once but it was never finished.

[Waffuru]

I'm still somewhat unsure even after watching that english subbed Xenoblade video. Will we be able to like play coop in the open world and explore together?

[alpha00zero]

I'm starting to feel like F-Zero is truly dead but being teased.

First, Mute City. Now Big Blue.

Both without any context. There's something fishy about all this.

Might be looking too hard into this but still be a great way to tease a next installment and then show a teaser of a 2016 F-Zero at E3. It's just as hype as Zelda.
With no Metroid in sight and a Star Fox confirmed, F-Zero is next in line for a new one.

[Reds]

I've just been hoping that they're using the F-Zero DLC sales to gauge interest in a new F-Zero game.

Pretty sure Big Blue + 200 dlc (especially with Blue Falcon and Mute City in) is to throw the fanbase a bone while not guaranteeing a new title. However, 200cc itself might be used as a gauge for F-Zero.

[Mikemaximum]

Something tells me the MK8 team wants to make a F-Zero game.

200cc, Big Blue AND Mute City. In one game. That's more F-Zero than we have had in the last 10 years.

[Qaus]

Nintendo isn't simply going to [I]heavily reference and throwback[/I] these games without doing something with the series. The only time they've done this is with Earthbound/Mother [sp];w;[/sp].

I don't see this as 'throwing the fans a bone', I see this as very subtle hype building or something to that effect.

A: "Oh wow this track is really sci-fi."
B: "Yeah it's from F-Zero."
A: "F-Zero?"
B: "It's another series Nintendo owns. It's a sci-fi racing game like Wipeout or Quantum Redshift."
A: "Whoa, I never heard any of this before. I hope Nintendo makes a new one!"

[editline]14th April 2015[/editline]

I half expect Nintendo to show off F-Zero X as an upcoming VC game at E3 2015.

[PSI Guy]

A: "Oh wow this track is really sci-fi."
B: "Yeah it's from F-Zero."
A: "F-Zero?"
B: "It's another series Nintendo owns. It's a sci-fi racing game like Wipeout or Quantum Redshift."
A: "Oh, you mean like Captain Falcon from Smash Bros? FALCON PUNCH! Show me your moves!"
And then they never made another F-Zero.

[ClauAmericano]

I will wait patiently for E3.

Just asking but is anyone having trouble staying connected to the internet?

Was fine the other day and I'm aware it's Mewtwo day but if I hang in download manager it switches to "Not connected to the internet/can't detect wi-fi" to "Connected" at complete random.

[KnightRider25]

[QUOTE=ClauAmericano;47532323][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S02cjEh6RZA[/media][/QUOTE]

Wait, they added the "YEAH, THE FINAL LAP" Voice from F-Zero X to Big Blue? Very nice, shame they didn't do it for Mute City.

I been having trouble too, just even trying to get to the store. Too many people updating their Smash.

[Waffuru]

Quick question, are load times faster with eshop game downloads over physical disks?

I'm retarded have mercy pls

[Dracon]

Not much difference from what I can tell. Download is very slightly faster.

[Conro101]

My Wii Remotes keep disconnecting after a few seconds. It blinks, holds blue, then turns off. We've tried two remotes and some batteries we have lying around. Is it a battery problem, or are my remotes just fucking up?

[mark6789]

Try resyncing them?

Sounds like a battery issue.
