Really? There hasn't been an Fzero in ten years? So nintendo really has abondoned anything that isn't Zelda or mario and has relegated the rest of their poo poo to SSB.

They were breaking between games; it seems like they're doing that a lot this year instead of just letting the stream run. Might have to do with how twitch is restricting archives now.

They're well-made and fun, but they are hard as gently caress so it's not surprising that they sold poorly. I think the last home console one was GX, and that one is particularly brutal.

I remember hearing the dev for FZero said "we have no idea how to make it better than the last one without just rehashing it all"

Which combined with not massive sales might be keeping it on the back burner in perpetuity

You should watch one they did a year ago, one of the 3d ones. They were literally doing something where they'd snake so hard they'd start flying off the track 5000 feet into the air.

That entire run was so unbelievably hype. I've never even beaten GX's story mode and he completely clowned it.

And, yeah, that run's what's gotten me so excited for the f-zero block this year. The consistent incredible skill shown is really something.

I did this and could have stopped it, but nothing in nature ever follows a gaussian curve. Sure, they'll tell you that it does. They say that every five minutes someone dies in a car accident, but how often are there seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses in one hangar?

Yup. It's also kind of sobering because I realize I'd have never completed the stuff past where I was stuck.

GX doesn't have top-tier runners this time and they are doing staff ghosts so it won't own AS hard. But even mid-tier GX players are on some next-level poo poo and it's crazy to watch.

Well this run kinda lost energy towards the end. I guess he was expecting the death race and the incentive wasn't met.

Kinda risky to have donation incentives for games that nobody knows about.

The death race incentive is for F-Zero X which is still to come. But it needs some 4k more to be met so it's looking doubtful, which is sad.

It's disappointing that none went towards the next incentive that has not been met, however. We'll need a grand every ten minutes to meet death race at this point :smith:

Part of the problem is that the incentives aren't listed on the schedule, so anyone interested in the game, but no necessarily just donating in general isn't going to see them. They're really not advertising that many of these incentives exist which would probably bring out more people to donate if the knew about them.
