  Reporting in a player that finished every GX Story mission in Very Hard difficulty. What a trip it was.

  F-Zero GX still looks & plays so well, they could simply boost it to 1080p & add online, and the game would be perfect.

  Gx has aged gracefully like a fine wine.

  I'd hereby like to express my vociferous support for GX. Best racing game ever made.

  Given the battle royale craze, a "F-Zero 99" should be an obvious project Nintendo should create.

  It was a hot summer holiday in Australia in the early 90's. My sister, cousins, step brother's and I were obsessively playing F-Zero for 2 day's straight. I specifically remember us all drinking lime cordial and trying to beat each other's times. When it was time for family to leave and travel back home, my uncle thought he'd give it a go. Never played the game before in his life. He asked us which track time was the hardest to beat and said he'd show us how it was done. To our amazement he beat the fastest time by 2 seconds 😆 RIP Uncle Mike 🥰

  F-Zero GX, a top ten game of all time easily. Sooo good, they caught lightening in a bottle. Honestly don't know if they could repeat the success but I hope so.

  F-Zero GX is straight-up the sickest, fastest-feeling racing game ever made, and over 15 years later, there's not a single game that truly fills its niche. Razor-sharp controls, satisfying and demanding advanced tech... If you're reading this, play it. Or at least watch the CGN speedrun from 2014.

  Beating all of the story mode chapters in GX on very hard is still the video game achievement I’m most proud of. Nothing has ever topped that level of challenge and satisfaction.

  John, to address your complaints about the GBA F-Zeros feeling too "bumpy" around turns - tap the A button repeatedly during turns. This allows you to corner your ship much more efficiently. Regardless, great video as always, DF Retro is among the best gaming content on YouTube!

  If Mr. Linneman keeps getting closer and closer on each video, soon he's going to tell me all these interesting things sitting next to me on my couch... :-P
