While there were games based on the show, mainly the two last titles in the series, F-Zero: GP Legends and F-Zero Climax, both were still mostly normal games without too many innovations. Falcon Densetsu finale will always be remembered as one of the biggest Captain Falcon moments of all time The show is fondly remembered by its music, fun interactions between characters, Norio Wakamoto performance as the main villain Black Shadow, and its finale where Captain Falcon saves the galaxy using a Falcon Punch while sacrificing himself. The anime follows new lore while utilizing the characters and mechanics from the games as a basis for its narrative. It followed the story of Ryu Suzaku (Rick Wheeler), a police detective from the year 2051, that after a life-threatening incident, is revived 150 years later in the future and becomes a member of the Mobile Task Force, with the mission to win F-Zero races and stop the evil plans of the organization Dark Million. Running for 51 episodes, the show ran from 2003 till 2004. F-Zero but with Shonen elements Source: TV Time.į-Zero: Falcon Densetsu (F-Zero: GP Legend in North America), is an anime based on the franchise. And the show might be the one that has the answers that Nintendo is looking for about how to make a new game in this series. While F-Zero was never a hit franchise, the highest selling game was the SNES original with 2.68 million copies sold, the series was still popular enough in Japan to get side material, like manga and anime. For Star Fox Zero, for example, the Japanese developer insisted on utilizing the Wii U gamepad as a way to control the spaceship, a decision that made many reviewers and players dislike the game. Miyamoto, who worked as a producer in some of the F-Zero games, is famous for always trying to implement new ideas in titles that he supervised. In many interviews in the past, Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of legendary series such as Mario and Zelda, mentioned how a new F-Zero game won’t happen because there are no new ideas that would evolve the series. Some of the reasons for this treatment for the F-Zero IP is, perhaps, Nintendo not knowing what to do with the franchise. But, while many other franchises got a chance to shine once again, the futuristic racing game kept being ignored. Just like the case with other franchises like Star Fox and Metroid, F-Zero is in a slumber, having its last game released in 2004, which makes for an 18-year period of no news for its fans. Starting life as a game that was made to show the power of the Super Nintendo, nowadays the series is mostly known for Captain Falcon, its protagonist, showing up as a fighter in the Super Smash Bros. F-Zero is one of the oldest franchises created by Nintendo.
