So apparently Nintendo doesn’t have any new ideas to bring to F-Zero? Pfft. Listen here, kid. Let me show you a real man’s F-Zero. F-Zero with MOTION CONTROLS.

Well, you can still remove the motion controls from this game and get a kick-ass racing game based off a legacy IP. Speed Racer the videogame is a thrilling experience. A game worthy of praise and recognition. Is there any other racing game where you can perform “car-fu?” No? Exactly. Car-fu is badass and fighting other racers while going over 200mph is pure bliss.

They even went hard for the soundtrack. Why does the soundtrack go so hard? It’s just a movie tie-in video game. Yet the soundtrack goes HARD. Too hard. Man. This game is flawless. Sure, the A.I. cheats most of the time and when you go zone mode, the Nintendo Wii suffers and all you see is pixelated mess. Sure, sometimes it feels like an automatic roller-coaster and the slightest move left or right sends you flying off the track…but give this game a 4K remaster with new graphics…oh lord. Nintendo has no excuses for the absence of F-Zero when this banger exists.
