LostOverThere Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Quite possibly the closest thing to F-Zero we'll get on WiiWare. The legends at Shin'en are coming at WiiWare again with a new title, this time a racer titled "FAST" - Includes 4 player split screen! http://www.fast.shinen.com/about.php
Jonnas Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Actually looks interesting. I wonder if will have online...
mr_bogus Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Thanks for the pics! After Nanostray 2 and Jett Rocket, i'm definitely keeping an eye on this.
dazzybee Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Just to be anal for a moment, it looks more like Wipeout...still no bad thing. Hope this holds up as I love F Zero and Wipeout!
Beverage Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) Just to be anal for a moment, it looks more like Wipeout...still no bad thing. Hope this holds up as I love F Zero and Wipeout! Yeah I agree. Lol though I personally reckon F-zero has more character & purpose (WOW factor?). Anyhows, make this more F-zero'y and throw in the Blue Falcon then that'd easily be a negotiable 1000 wii points I wonder if will have online... If it does I'll make that 1500wii points Edited October 1, 2010 by Beverage Automerged Doublepost
mcj metroid Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 thing about Shin'en games is they look and sound great......and then it kinda falls on it's ass really.
mr_bogus Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 thing about Shin'en games is they look and sound great......and then it kinda falls on it's ass really. I'll take it you haven't played Nanostray 2 yet. One of the best shmups ever, both looks and gameplay
S.C.G Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 If it turns out to be anything like F-Zero then HELL YES! If it turns out to be anything like Wipeout then HELL NO! F-Zero > Wipeout :p
darksnowman Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 If it turns out to be anything like F-Zero then HELL YES! If it turns out to be anything like Wipeout then HELL NO! F-Zero > Wipeout :p Agreed, and thats not just because I think Nintendo rock. Wipeout is just... meh.
James McGeachie Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 The general aesthetics make me think more of F-zero than Wipeout honestly, at least the track design. I just hope it can even capture like a tenth of the quality of GX in terms of overall production values (quality of track design, soundtrack, intensity, difficulty) Of course that's an unrealistic expectation right from the get go. I seriously want another game like GX. it's one of the best racers I've played. It's an exhilarating game.
nekunando Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 I seriously want another game like GX. it's one of the best racers I've played. It's an exhilarating game. I consider it one of my favourite games ever I would love another F-Zero.. but it's F-Zero I want, not an alternative It would be nice if this was good, but I can't imagine getting it when I know I can go back and play through F-Zero GX again or even F-Zero X
tapedeck Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 Best developers on wiiware. Looking forward to this.
mcj metroid Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 I'll take it you haven't played Nanostray 2 yet.One of the best shmups ever, both looks and gameplay I have actually. it was defo their best game i'll say that, but defo not my favorite shmup ever and It's funny but I can't explain why. It's hard to fuck up a shmup so it comes down to the little things for me like music and graphic style. The first one would have been great too but they messed up the weapon change button for the record my all time favourite is thunderforce iv
mr_bogus Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 The first one would have been great too but they messed up the weapon change button ARGH please don't mention that, the nightmares are coming back! Touchscreen weapon change, with no alternate on shoulder buttons? Apparently it was something insisted on by the publisher, to utilise the DS's newfangled touchscreen thingymabob for the record my all time favourite is thunderforce iv The man knows his shmups In fact we should start a shmup thread!
Mandalore Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 The new screenshots are great, really looking forward to getting this in May. Hopefully it'll be a success, and encourage Nintendo to bring out a new F-Zero.
mr_bogus Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 New screenshots (and some info) from here: http://www.nintendoeverything.com/63581/?pid=5664
The Mad Monkey Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Looks good, but I need video footage before I commit.
Hero-of-Time Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Looks good, but I need video footage before I commit. Here you go.
The Mad Monkey Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Cool, definitely looks more F-Zero than Wipeout. Think I better get myself some Wii points for Friday.
mr_bogus Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Highly recommended to download the video from their website - the mp4 is at 60fps (youtube chops it down to 30).
S.C.G Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) So... is anyone else buying this at 12PM tonight? I sure as hell am if it's there by then my points card is primed and at the ready! This game screams F-Zero, especially when you see it in motion, I genuinely can't wait to play this. *Edit* It's available now! *downloading* Edited May 26, 2011 by S.C.G
Tales Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Quickly read the thread, but couldn't find it, does it have online?
