I don’t doubt they’d be able to make a fun, great quality game (this is Retro, after all), I just don’t think this is the smartest decision they coul’ve made. Even if it’s a racing game as well, at least it’s not on the same sub-genre. The F-Zero fanbase has been crying for a new entry since the GC. It’s probably not what the console needs.Īnd finally: it’s a waste of resources that could have been used in some other thing. By no means a bad number considering that MK64 sold 5.55 millions, but see point two. The karting crowd is pleased with Mario Kart already, revealing this project so close to it is a bit redundant.Ībout the plataformers, people have complained about that before, it’s bad business practice as well. In other words, it needs games different than the ones it already has. This is the kind of title that would hit harder later on the console’s lifetime. Secondly, the console instalbase is not that big yet. Many people have not played the original, not even the DS one, and the franchise isn’t as established as those you mention. Well… First, this is mainly a console game IP, unlike Yoshi and Wario, who have instalments on both. Diddy Kong had appeared in Double Dash and Mario Kart Wii.
