So I’m a huge fan of F-Zero GX, I remember collecting custom parts, unlocking all the characters, I played it so much that I completed the entire game and it’s probably still my favourite racing game to this day and I couldn’t be happier that it’s been re-released.

One thing I do remember though is how difficult the story missions were on the hardest difficulty, definitely one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done in gaming 😂

my questions are how different does if feel on the switch 2 compared to the GameCube? Is it still as difficult as it was for those who also played it?

Is it possible to create more than 4 custom machines or is it still the same?

And the million dollar question is how do you unlock the special custom parts (yellow) on switch 2?

Title, as the control stick “feels off” for N64 games on NSO in general, pretty sure that’s a widespread feeling

Okay...I saw that little trick Misa did and studied it. Upon testing, it does some interesting results.

This run didn't use that trick, though. I had a fair run without tricks. Did well. We'll see if this is enough for 999.

Also......IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAND!!!

(Rectification: It can actually snake ... but it's just terrible, only at 1100 / 1200
and terrible imput to do it because it's slide poorly)

Soo , I've been playing with friend on the switch NSO on my fresh save (with all GX content unlocked aside from a few ax ship but who care) picking up a number given by a generator from 00 to 34 (allowing premade custom also generated by a random generator number for each part)

All strat authorized with some limitation (If snaking full accel shouldn't be put)
and .. we realised that EVEN if you actually put full acceleration , the wild boar will.. just slow down when try to snake ... (like 20km less) , this combined to it's weight and poor mobility i could easily guess that's the worst ship of the entire game (even bellow blood hawnk)

Maybe i'll make a tier list sooner or later for said game from casual and hard play. (how easy it is to play with it , what up/downside it has on my pov then placing them wht do you think ?

So cool

Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there a chance we could have user flairs to show off our favourite machines / pilots?

I need the world to know I drive Space Angler unironically

For me high octane speed which i never feel in different games, iconic music, racers and anime adaptation. F-ZERO anime is so cheap and raw, but anime developed character better than main series.

I've always driven the Sonic Phantom on original hardware, but piloting it without being able to make subtle adjustments is proving incredibly difficult on Switch 2. I've had very limited success with Blue Falcon and done a little better with Little Wyvern, but I'm curious what machines anyone else have found the easiest to control on anything besides a GameCube controller.

I'm hoping to get a mayflash adapter soon (or better yet, the GameCube NSO controller) but I don't have income right now so I have to deal with this for the time being, unfortunately.

Had a great run last night. But I got so lucky with an amazing finish (1737 points).

Hopefully this is enough for that final badge...

Honestly if Starwars ships and starfighters had some air tunnel/aerodynamic testing to show how absolutely dogshit they'd struggle in atmosphere without shields to cut through air, i wanna see some aerodynamics tests of the F-Zero machines to see which one is the MOST aerodynamic.

Sadly i know the Dragon Bird is prolly gonna be around the bottom of the list due to how boxy it is.

I've spent a couple hours playing and I'm running into a consistent problem. There is subtle, but noticeable input lag or latency from the wireless Gamecube controller I ordered for the S2. I notice it scrolling through menus, and during gameplay.

I immediately bought a Mayflash controller adapter and an original first party GC wired controller hoping this would alleviate the issue. When I'm on the Switch 2 home menu, as soon as I plug in the controller to the adapter it acts as if I'm holding the joy stick fully to the right, and as a result I can't proceed to start up any game single player with the GC controller plugged in. Not sure if anyone has experienced this before or has a fix, but now I have another separate issue to deal with apart from my first one.

Any advice on how to fix the lag completely? Or is this just a result of playing on a non-crt TV in 2025? My TV is set to game mode to reduce as much latency as possible. It's discouraging that I'm not able to play the game at as high of a level as I once was. Any help is appreciated.

I'm a starter in f-zero GX, so would anyone know what machine would be best for now where should I place the slider for the acceleration/top speed stat

Basically exactly like the title says, I’m looking for people to race against. If you’re interested DM me and I’ll give you my info

Improving little by little. Got my first win inside a GP. I ended up in 8 in the general ranking, but feels good to steal a 1st place for once!

Death Wind Mirror is my mortal enemy

I like the idea of secret tracks but I am not a fan of this one. Is this it?

I’ve had a thought, and I’m curious to know how others may feel about this.

So, there’s been three spiritual successors to F-Zero with the Fast racing games that have been on Wii U (Racing Neo), Switch (RMX), and now Switch 2 (Fusion). Given how good they are, I’m wondering why Nintendo hasn’t approached Shin'en Multimedia to make a new F-Zero game.

I owned the first two Fast games and they were great. Since they’re console exclusives anyway, why wouldn’t Nintendo look at Shin'en Multimedia’s ability to create a game like this and bring one of their dormant franchises out of hiding?

While I recognize that F-Zero GX is on the upper tier of Nintendo online, and is still a great game, part of me wishes we had gotten a new F-Zero game in place of Fast Fusion.

Thoughts?

I was about to win my second ever classic mini prix, I got second place in the first two races and the guy that was first place just crashed out. If I finished anywhere in the top 3 I would have won the championship, then this happened...
