I don't think you've had four players of equal and relatively high skill in the same room... Or even when there's a gap, the only way for the noobie to win is to kill the better players.
Even outside of multiplayer it's a priority. Chapter 7 anyone? It's basically impossible to win unless you kill Black Shadow and Blood Falco before the final lap.
But NSMB originally held a lot of goodwill because it was the first 2D Mario game since 1992. It just slowly pissed it away because they couldn't innovate on it at all beyond 4-player co-op.
This. Look at Mega Man 9. Really, just add some new characters and tracks, bring back the Death Race and X Cup, add Wifi. There ya go.
Then
God Mega Man 9 was good.
Oh man. I'm imagining what X CupU would look like. It looks awesome.
I've had four people in the same room of the same skill level and I can tell you that they only used the side-attack as a useful tool in the corners (none of them know about the physics exploits).
Using single-player as an example isn't really fair. The CPUs don't always have the exact same intent as humans and have a far superior reaction time.
People also said Snaking wasn't useful in MKDD but it clearly is.
Are you kidding? Black Shadow and Blood Falcon's rubberbanding is out of control in chapter 7.
The CPU is pretty tame most of the time. You can get through expert GPs pretty much by surviving and not letting off of A... Honestly, the CPUs in F-Zero in general are pretty easy outside of specific AI like in CH 2 (who's more of a ghost) or 8. Probably because they expect you to beat master class with every vehicle.

seems to suggest.That would be a great idea and I'd love to see if the game actually has competitive viability.Let's organize a GX tourney to see if the game isn't as competitively viable as @
I don't know how we'd do it but, I'd love to see what F-Zero is like competitively. Although Time Trial might be a better option. Really you have to weigh your pros and cons. When multiple players are on the same track it allows for player interaction, while time trial is pure skill and track memorization vs. pure skill and track memorization.
Hmm.... interesting.
Apparently there is a competitive scene, although it is small...
Because Mario Kart has killed F-Zero and burried it's body to make even more money, that's why.
All the more reason to put out a new one. :D
They really can't be. That doesn't stop casual fans and Nintendo executives alike saying "What's the point of making two racing games?"
The internet loves him. But from a business standpoint, will slapping C. Falcon onto a box sell more copies? Maybe, but it's one hell of a risk.
If they slap Falcon onto the box and actually advertise the game (with focus on Falcon), it will sell millions, no doubt.
I think they need to add a completely new set of characters, keep some old iconic ones, and sell the new game as a reboot. This would market to older fans who know and (mostly) love the old characters and have waited for a new game for over a decade, while the newer players can feel like they are part of something new and innovative. This would make all parties happy and help with sales unless Nintendo messes up their marketing again.
If they announce something for E3 tomorrow, we celebrate.
To be fair, Other M did come out a year before Metroid's 25th and due to all the backlash they decided to let the fanbase cool off and recover for a while. NO OTHER M DEBATES OR FIGHTS HERE PLEASE!
You mean November. The original release was November 1990 and the NA translation was August 1991.
Ahhh. I must have been confusing the dates.
Still wouldn't work because of the shoulder button thing, and Nintendo seems adamant in not making the GC controller compatible with anything but Smash. Requiring the thing would kill it's sales completely, anyway. We need a new game with new mechanics anyway since GX was broken to heck.
You mean the analog triggers? Last I checked that functionality was included with every GC controller. Surely even the new ones made for Smash have it.
No, the adapter doesn't read the GC's shoulder buttons like a GC would. Just binary, no analogue. Which is why third party adapters have Wii U/PC switches so you can play PC games properly. It's physically impossible with Nintendo's adapters, and making new ones a requirement for F-Zero U would indeed kill any hope for sales.
