F-Zero 99 has proven the viability of OG FZero gameplay on for modern fans.
My thoughts:
Fans are going to say “This means you should make a new #FZero successor to FZeroGX”.
I’m going to disagree.
What this actually means is you should make F-Zero Maker as a successor to Mario Maker.
The OG tracks are 2D and simple, they could very easily be hand-made by players in an editor.
I’d say vehicle weapons is right out and is the line where it ceases to be F-Zero, but I don’t see how RPG mechanics or open-world preclude including racing challenges with an extreme skill ceiling. I mean, with the current Soulslike fashion trend I’d say they could market based on that, particularly with Armored Core 6 demonstrating how “RPG elements with a very low stat ceiling” works well with skill-based gaming.
