E3 2003: F-Zero
- May 14, 2003 00:00 AM PST
F-Zero hopes to live up to its Super Nintendo and Super Monkey Ball heritage.
A GameCube co-production from Nintendo and Sega, F-Zero is the continuation of a game series that achieved legendary status on the Super NES and N64. It�s about time the real deal returned, too�without the original F-Zero, there would be no WipeOut, Tube Slider, or Jet Moto, not to mention an entire genre of futuristic-apocalypse racers. Details are still scant on F-Zero�s gameplay, but 30 racers and over 20 tracks (including a completely rebuilt Mute City) are set to make their debut. The emphasis here is on speed at its purest: The tracks twist and spiral like Super Monkey Ball stages, and 1000 mph is nothing more than an average speed in most areas. And as for the graphics�well, the screen shots can hopefully speak for themselves.
