F-Zero isn't dead
The F-Zero series is certainly one of Nintendo's most beloved, but despite this, there hasn't been a new episode in almost 20 years. According to Takaya Imamura, former Nintendo artist and designer now retired, the zero-gravity futuristic racing series is not dead, but to see it in stores again you need a great idea.Imamura is a prominent personality of the world of video games. In his past there are works of the caliber of F-Zero, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, or the design of characters like Captain Falcon and Fox McCloud. In a recent interview with IGN, in which he retraced his 30-year career, Takaya Imamura also wanted to talk about F-Zero and the reason that, despite everything, has made over 18 years pass since the last unreleased chapter.
Takaya Imamura collaborated with SEGA and Toshihiro Nagoshi on the creation of the F-Zero GX and its arcade version F-Zero AX. The result of that collaboration was a game that Imamura himself calls "the ultimate F-Zero".
The F-Zero GX is considered the ultimate F-Zero. For this reason it was difficult to think about how to do better. "It's obvious we've thought about it many times," Takaya Imamura said. "But without great ideas it is difficult to bring him back. That, however, does not mean that with his retirement the series is dead.
What do you think? How many would like a new F-Zero? Or at least the remastered of F-Zero GX?
