GAF-Zero are amazing.

 

[meppi]

3DS too?! Sweet! Also, more F-Zero while download is pending

Edit: Are you guys using the rival bump boost "cheat"?

Yeah, I downloaded both MH demos this afternoon and somehow did better on the 3DS than on WiiU version. Might have to try it with the nunchuck and wiimote though as I'm used to playing Tri like that. Stopped when the Ultimate version was announced though.

I'm playing F-Zero in practice mode btw, without any other crafts on the course.

 

[jdforge]

Never played this until this evening. Its so good. I also like the VC sub menu for button mapping. Very swish!

 

[Bel_Air_Jeff]

I'm really enjoying this game,
Now I understand the fzero love! Wish it was two player though!

Join in with our little competition and it's just as good as two player..

 

[Bidermaier]

im pretty sure that the site nintendo world report posted that Europe is getting the 60hz version.

I'll join in... Maybe get in a little competition with my roommate

It's true, we have the 60hz version. I am playing it right now.

When there are some more racing games on VC (like Mario Kart, Wave Race or F-Zero X; and in 60Hz I hope), we should make a VC high score thread.

 

[Hobbestetrician]

Why do I keep not making the jump in white land Ii?

You have to press down on your d-pad before jumping.

Glad this was answered as it is why I came into the thread. First time playing this game and it is a lot of fun, difficult but fun.

See, 30 cents well spent

If you crave for more, there is F-Zero X on the Wii VC, or try to get a used copy of GX if you have a Wii or Gamecube. Both support 4 player and both have freaking 30(!) racers on track. Play those to fully understand the love some of us have for the franchise.

We could also compare Super Metroid completion times!

 

[Jucksalbe]

Whatever counts as a high score. I think I never did a speedrun of Super Metroid, could be fun, too.

 

[Robin64]

YES!

I'll make something proper, with nice easy PHP/SQL entry and stuff (so I don't have to keep editing the raw HTML file) and our contests will be glorious.

 

[kitzkozan]

Strange.. i don´t have any artifacts at all. Overall, this game is my gaming highlight in 2013 so far. I own my Wii U since launch day but now it has really "clicked". It´s just an awesome emulation of one of my favorite games of all time. 60 Herz, a Nintendo D-Pad, no lag at all and all of this playable in my bed.

This game is just perfect. Supertight controls, the best F-Zero Soundtrack of all time and and and.

I love it.

For 30 cents it's a steal, even if I still have my SNES cartridge. Wii U virtual console is the optimal way to play these old school classics imo. (perfect on the smaller screen of the gamepad).

 

[Yes Boss!]

Are you guys going to go on to other tracks for score? I'm game to be in the Death Wind 1 leaderboards.

 

[Robin64]

There is some stuff on the other tracks already but the first track in racers always seems to be the "main" one that people compete on. I guess because they are so simple they are the purest. Anyway, room for all tracks for sure!

 

[Jethro]

Seeing those fabulous times on Mute City, I hope you guys accomplished that without using a rival :/ That doesn't feel right, isn't it?

 

[Jucksalbe]

For my best times on Mute City and Big Blue I used a rival. I don't think you can really get much below 2'03 without one. For the other tracks (will post my times for them later), I turned the rival off because it was bothering me more than it was helping.

 

[KaYotiX]

This game brings back so many great memories.

Need a Wii-U version ASAP!!!!

 

[Linkhero1]

It's funny because I recall playing F-Zero on SNES with 2 players at my cousins house. I know it sounds crazy but somehow it happened.

 

[zroid]

been humming F-Zero music all day and I can't stop halp

 

[dwu8991]

Easily the best 30 cents you will ever spend

 

[Katsuragi]

F-Zero is such a timeless game! The soundtrack is probably among the Super Nintendo's most iconic ones and the gameplay aged fairly well. Thumbs up!

 

[Jucksalbe]

My times for the other Practice tracks:

Sand Ocean:

Death Wind I (that track is soo boring):

Silence:

White Land I (yeah, I suck at this track):

Port Town II:

 

[thomaser]

I really loved those little background when I first played the game 21 years ago. Especially the one for Port Town, with those weird city-in-a-pita things way back there. Also, the huge tusks sticking up from the ground in Death Wind. It was all so mysterious.

 

[Madao]

undusting myself from not playing the game from 5 years i got this:

will try other tracks after i beat GP mode.

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

The enemy AI is literally destroying me on the 5th King cup track... (Thank you Restore Point)

Is Practice mode only available on 7 tracks?

 

[Robin64]

Is Practice mode only available on 7 tracks?

Sadly (and oddly), yes.

 

[CDX]

this would be also a good chance to ask in Miiverse for a re-release of BS F-Zero 2 since that never showed on Wii's VC.

I wasn't aware that F-Zero had two separate "SNES" sequels.

*sigh* I wish Nintendo would release all the BS (Japan's abbreviation for Broadcast Satellite) games on the VC both in Japan and internationally. It's a shame none of the BS games were ever officially released outside of Japan.

What's different in "BS F-Zero" compared to "BS F-Zero 2"?

BS F-Zero Grand Prix

BS F-Zero Grand Prix 2

Totally forgot about the restore point, thanks for reminding me though !

 

[noffles]

can someone give me tips on how to not be shit

tapping accelerate on tight corners seems to work

 

[Robin64]

What's different in "BS F-Zero" compared to "BS F-Zero 2"?

BS F-Zero is the original game, but with 1 extra track, and the 4 new cars.

BS F-Zero 2 has a new league with 5 more tracks.

 

[Tehalemi]

OT, but a few mentioned it, and I'm all for doing Super Metroid completion times/percentage completed leader boards when it comes out.

Also thank god for restore points in this game. :O

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

Combination of this and air brakes.

Also use your boost wisely to take shortcuts through dirty road sections which would normally slow you down.

 

[aceface]

Hey, on the high scores page, can I go back and post the scores from the cart when I was a kid? No way I can get times that good again, lol.

No, we are all old and shitty at gaming now

 

[Madouu]

been humming F-Zero music all day and I can't stop halp

I thought I was the only one!

Spent the whole afternoon humming this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8haGR2cG94w

I can't get it out of my head

 

[Starsunder]

I always loved those too! Port Town was a favorite, and I love Sand Oceans giant snail shell too. Silences ruins were awesome as well.

The backgrounds combined with the music was fantastic.

 

[Frolow]

What's different in "BS F-Zero" compared to "BS F-Zero 2"?

BS F-Zero is essentially the same game as the originally except with 4 different vehicles and 1 new track.

BS F-Zero 2 has a completely new "Ace" league and the same 4 vehicles as BS F-Zero.

 

[BGBW]

Is Practice mode only available on 7 tracks?

Apparently there was meant to be two more tracks...

 

[Brera]

Came out in Europe too. Nabbed one from the Stars Catalogue a while back but not had anything good to use it with. Until now!

Couple on ebay...I might bite at some stage. Greatest pad ever made.

Been playing this right now. As awesome and as playable as ever. Still the best Fzero and that's not nostalgia talking!

 

[Brera]

also...the original is 4mbits.

The download is 40MB....

 

[olimpia84]

Easily the best 30 cents you will ever spend

Until Super Metroid is offered

 

[Holy Order Sol]

just bought this and spent the last 45 min trying in vain to get under 2:05 on Mute City so fuck this shit before I punch a wall

 

[JavyOO7]

also...the original is 4mbits.

I think it has its own emulator.

 

[Eric C]

I think this now might be my favorite F-Zero. Maybe.

I'm surprised by just how much fun I'm having playing this game.

 

[Yes Boss!]

So amazing the art and stuff in the game. Kinda reminds a bit of Space Harrier in that sense...of course F-Zero is a billion times better than Space Harrier, though.

 

[DjRoomba]

lol at you people calling this game great. Nostalgias a bitch
