It's something I have on my mind right now, since it'd allow me to fanboy about F-Zero GX and what makes it so great.
The idea is something of a gaming history thing that eventually leads into F-Zero GX, what makes that game great, and then maybe make some comments on racing games since, and how they compare, "we want F-Zero, Nintendo," and that sort of thing.
It's admittedly only in the brainstorm phase right now, though.
I'm stating this since I actually do have my own YouTube channel with content, but it's only movie maker tier sort of stuff, lol.
Used at the start of thisvideo. Could be a song from a gamecube game, due to video’s theme.
>TLDR; Made an F-Zero / Wipeout like board game, not sure how to make it sound exciting, kind of doing an AMA
Hey guys! I'm a big F-Zero fan, and even tho I don't really have a console anymore to play it, I keep watching youtube videos about it and now I'm obsessed with Redout on steam (it's pretty cool hehe)!
So... since I love those games so much, I made a board game hugely inspired on what I love about them, and it turned out actually pretty fun! I'm not sure how to talk about it to people tho, as I don't know what is exciting for people about the idea of an F-Zero / Wipeout style board game. I was curious to see what you guys would like to know about it most! The theme? Mechanics? The feel?
Ask me anything!
I'll try to see which questions comes up most and make my priority when talking about the game! Thank you so much!
Metroid Dread has got to be the most unlikely video game announcement I’ve ever seen. A game that originally leaked in 2005 just became real. A new F-Zero game is still possible, people! Don’t give up hope! :)
Looking for some futuristic high speed racing. Does it exist?
And it's just juvenile. The reader knows what the words are for, and even if they don't, spelling them this way only brings them to close attention. If anything, such spellings have the exact opposite effect of what they're supposed to have.

Tatsumi Kimishima was born in 1950 in Tokyo, Japan. A Japanese businessman and a former president of Nintendo. He was formerly the president of Nintendo of America from January 2002, succeeding Minoru Arakawa, until Reggie Fils-Aimé took his place in May 2006. He was promoted to managing director in June 2013 and was named the fifth president of the company in September 2015, succeeding Satoru Iwata, who died in July 2015. In June 2018 Kimishima stepped down as president and was succeeded by Shuntaro Furukawa. After graduating from Hitotsubashi University, Kimishima joined Sanwa Bank in 1973, working there for 27 years. Kimishima dealt with corporate planning, international business development, corportate communications, and promotions. Kimishima was approached by Hiroshi Yamauchi, who wanted someone outside of the video game industry to oversee the finances of an American subsidiary for the popular Pokémon franchise. Kimishima accepted the position, and was appointed the chief financial officer of The Pokémon Company in December 2000.

The Game Boy, developed by Nintendo R&D1, was released in 1989 in Japan. The console features a dull green dot-matrix screen with adjustable contrast dial, five control buttons, a single speaker with adjustable volume dial, and, like its rivals, uses cartridges as physical media for games. Despite being technically inferior to its fourth-generation competitors, the Game Boy received praise for its battery life and durability in its construction. It quickly outsold the competition, selling one million units in the United States within a few weeks. The Game Boy and its successor, the Game Boy Color, have sold an estimated 118 million units worldwide. It is one of the most recognisable devices from the 1990s, becoming a cultural icon in the years following its release. Several redesig
I know that just from the title that many of you may be shaking your heads right now, but let me clear something up first. By “popular”, I’m not only referring to F-Zero fans who know and love the series well, I’m also referring to a general audience of people who at least have some semblance of the series, whether it be by Captain Falcon, the music, or something else. So maybe the question could be better revised to be “is F-Zero more widely recognizable than we think?”.
Today, I was watching YouTube videos about whether or not people could guess songs from video games. And in both of the two videos I watched, there were two instances of people guessing F-Zero when it was not the correct answer (I will admit, it made me kinda happy). However, this led me to speculate, are there more people that recognize F-Zero than we and even Nintendo think?
For one, Nintendo is obviously a huge company that has had an impact on many people in the world to date, especially considering the lasting impact the Wii has had and the switch currently has. So people who are fans of Nintendo will naturally recognize F-Zero, right? Unfortunately, this doesn’t quite check out initially, considering that not 100% of console owners will know about a game or series. Take, for example, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a game on the Wii. While 100 million+ people have a Wii, only around 13 million copies of Super Smash Bros. Brawl were sold. This brings us to the question, do only 13 million people know about this game? This is an easy answer, which is no, because there will be people who just didn’t buy the game, only heard about it, or played it at a friend’s house, etc. Fast forward to 2021, the internet is more commonly used, and internet boards and apps give ways for people to connect and for things to spread. Take the newest entry in the Super Smash Bros. series, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. This game is the highest selling fighting game and the 3rd highest Nintendo Switch game to date at a near 23 million copies. This is 10 million more copies than Brawl, and the switch has not even sold as many units as the Wii has yet. While many other factors play into this, it can easily be noted that the rise of internet communication has caused this overall rise in software sales. From this it is also noted that F-Zero has also benefitted from the internet age, garnering the attention of many users online. In 2003, the amount of copies a game sold was often close to reflecting the amount of peop

I've decided to do a casual no-prep NG+ UH run, without any new (adept) weapons/armours. I had platinum already. I was heavy into melee combat on my normal run, which was impossible on UH. And by the time I reached the final boss, my stock of blaze got over. I went into the fight with just 28 fire arrows left, and no other fire ammo. It proved a challenge, but after like 10 tries, I did it. So satisfying.
Theory: This theory is based on data mining from Mario Kart Tour and game promotion in Mario Kart Tour, but it remains a theory. Having said that, let's start with a lesson from games promoted in Mario Kart Tour.
Trick Tour: Promotion of Mario Maker 2 update

Cat Tour: Promotion of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
https://twitter.com/mariokarttourEN/status/1352515121629650946
Now that we've confirmed that they are promoting Nintendo Switch games in Mario Kart Tour, let me talk about the Cat Tour. Several months before the Cat Tour we already knew that Cat Peach is coming to Mario Kart Tour. That's because we found data mining findings related to Cat Peach in Mario Kart Tour.

What does this have to do with F-Zero?
For several years, no Mario Kart console has been released by the Mario Kart team. Also, that team has not worked on ARMS in recent years. They did work on Mario Kart Tour. There has been content related to F-Zero in the files of the game (Mario Kart Tour) for a number of months. BFalcon8 in tire files and FClassic.
Thanks to, Trainiax (https://discord.gg/6CGTGcjcpD).
Now my theory is that this content will be kept until the team that might be working on F-Zero is ready to launch the game so they can promote the game. Whatever they did with the Cat Tour to promote Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. That ties in with what Nintendo says about mobile games. That helps their mobile games to promote the console games. They did the same with Animal Crossing Pocket Camp.
It also helps that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is still selling on the Nintendo Switch and the next Mario Kart does not have to be released on the console. Allowing F-Zero to get a chance from Nintendo. Let me know what you think of the theory. Even if you have any questions, ask them!
