I loved F-Zero X and GX back in the day. Haven't played them in forever.
You look at F-Zero though, with it's 30 car races and ability to attack/shunt, and you have to wonder why Nintendo doesn't see an opportunity to go after the battle royale market with this franchise.
Imagine 100+ cars on track at once. Or maybe you do smaller 25 car fields and then auto-merge the remaining players as the race goes on. As the laps continue, add more obstacles, or decrease the size/length of the energy zones, or narrow the track.
You could sell cars, skins, whatever... (not a fan of this but just saying...)
I mean, RIGHT?!?
I assume because every F-Zero other than the first one sold terribly. ---
