I see Master Miyamoto's point, but it sounds a bit hypocritical to me.
Take Mario Kart. I mean, I love Mario Kart, every episode steals nights with my friends. But did they bring something new they haven't done before on the latest iterations ? You can tell me "new races, new pilots, new bonuses, better balancing, enhanced gameplay"... All these things can apply to a new F-Zero. Why doing it for Mario Kart and not F-Zero ?
I see two reasons for this :
- Mario Kart sells way more than F-Zero.
- Nintendo / Miyamoto probably still remembers how GX's development was a nightmare because of frequent confrontations between SEGA and Nintendo about how the game should be. It's ironic because the majority of players thinks GX is a very good F-Zero, if not the best, but Nintendo sees it as a unsatisfying game because they don't agree with SEGA's decisions. Thus, they don't know what to do with this franchise anymore.
Plus, GX team is now full time on Yakuza series so there's no way Nintendo or SEGA will allow them to do a F-Zero right now.
I would appreciate a port or at least a Virtual Console release of GX on Switch so we can play it on HDMI without the need of an good upscaler to counter bad scaling and input lag.
