Smash Bag: April 2, 2004

Falcon Densetsu release
One day I was looking in a gamepro magazine and in the GBA previews it showed F-Zero: Falcon Densetsu and the target release date was Second Quarter 2004 (U.S.) so It will be out in the u.s. in the Second Quarter of 2004
-From Eric-

Falcontress85: That means probably summer or fall of 2004… I can’t remember if fall is second quarter or not… Anyway, that’s what they’re hoping to shoot for. Unfortunately, as with all games, there is a big chance of it being held back. Hopefully, they have everything done and ready by the time second quarter rolls in.

Metroid Killer: Yeah that would be around summer, unfortunately I haven't heard any official announcement from Nintendo, but the developers should defintely be able to do the US version since they've got lots of time already.


The Movie
Regarding your comments about the F-Zero movie from the 03-27 Smash Bag, I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents.

If there's going to be an F-Zero movie, chances are it would be based on the anime, considering that's the 'in-thing' right now where the franchise is concerned. (Much to the chagrin of many, I can honestly say)

As for a plot, I could see something involving Phoenix and Deathborn, maybe a subplot with Princia. (Considering she's one of the most popular AX characters) I'd also would like to see Ryu Suzaku die a horrible and quick death at Deathborn's hands, but that's just me. ^_-

Aniwho, just felt like sharing that.

As for a question, hmmm... Oh here's one: How many beers could a Bio-Rex chug if a Bio-Rex could chug beer? XD

Later!
-From Mekairinek-

Falcontress85: LOL! First of all, a movie wouldn’t sound that bad, but to kill Ryu? I don’t know… I mean, he is the main character in this particular game… And I am sort of a fan of his… ^^; Princia is a good character to throw in, along with Phoenix, but the plot might be a little bit hard to come up with seeing how there are so many possibilities in a racing game.

As for the beer question: As much as he can drink before he barfs on someone or kills himself in a race! XD

Metroid Killer: Bio Rex is obviously able to chug down an infinte amount of beer...


Lyrics
Here's an idea, why don't you post up the words to the songs in F-Zero GX. I really like the music in the game but I sometimes can't understand what they're saying. If I just knew the words I could sing them!
-Thanks!

-From Leon-

Metroid Killer: Good idea! I might do that some day. Although you can already find a faq for it at gamefaqs.com


Soundtrack and Deathborn
When (if ever) F-Zero GX soundtrack will be realeased? You propably saw the anime so you should be able to answer my question: is Deathborn in anime or not? He's one of my favorite characters so this question is important for me XD
-From Lui-

Falcontress85: There might be a soundtrack released in Japan, but for those in the states, the music up for downloading will have to suffice. So far, I’ve only watched to Episode 20. After that, I’ve been looking at the previews after that. I don’t think Deathborn will be in the anime seeing how there’s already a conflict between certain characters in AX and FD…

Metroid Killer: I agree with Falcontress about this one. To begin with I was sure that an official soundtrack would be released even in the States. There has been so much focus on the music in F-Zero GX that not releasing a soundtrack would just be wrong. However the chances of an actual soundtrack coming out(even in Japan) seem pretty bad. There has been no news concerning it and it's almost been a year since F-Zero GX was released in Japan. We have to be very lucky, if we ever are gonna see one in my opinion.


Other Modes
What mode did you think Sega should've added in F-Zero GX?
For me, I think they should've put a track editor and they really should've put online play so people could race other people from around the world and probably show off their custom machines.
-From Leon-

Falcontress85: Hearing from what you just said, along with reading millions of threads on this topic, nothing would make F-Zero a whole lot better than to add LAN play and a track editor. The Japanese got something called the F-Zero X N64DD, which included a track editor, and, if I’m correct, a machine builder. Anyway, all we can do is hope that the next generation F-Zero game will have these two! ^^

Metroid Killer: Yes, it seems like the track editor is on top of most F-Zero fans' wishlists. Mine too. Hoever I would also like to see the Story Mode expand even further and add some action/adventure elements in the mode. So instead of just doing racing missions, you would control Captain Falcon in a 3D world and fight against bad guys, reveal secrets and still have to race from time to time. So basicly I would want a Story Mode resembling a small action/adventure game with emphasis on racing.


License and Memory
In F-Zero AX, do you really need both the GameCube memory memory card and the license card or can you play it with the memory card only?
-From Leonard Q.-

Metroid Killer: The License card and Memory cards works independently from each other. The License card just works as a personal stats card for you while you use the memory card to transfer data, such as custom machines and ax courses, between the two games
