I mean, GX's developer has also been dead for 10 years.
Nintendo get shit for having 'abandoned' this and Metroid but both franchises had multiple entries for years which sold somewhere between disappointing and bomb.
They're both in genres which are stagnant in the current marketplace and are franchises unknown by this generation of gamers.
For the entries we do have, Nintendo makes sure they're easily accessible via re-releases and Virtual Console and give frequent nods to both series through recent DLC cameos, merchandise, Smash Bros, amiibo and now even a spin-off game in the case of Metroid.
Metroid going from side-scroller to FP adventure and F-Zero ending up in arcades and as an anime shows Nintendo were fully invested in developing each series.
That nobody cared isn't on them.
no
they just make Yakuza games now, and the excellent Binary Domain
although some of them moved over to the team that makes Mario & Sonic at the Olympics games

They did nothing for Metroid and its a bigger IP than F-Zero.
I do REALLY want a F-Zero GX Online Edition HD for WiiU
I absolutely love Fzero, X and Maximum velocity (that one for what it was....a GBA launch title).
GX turned Fzero into something that was actively trying to push casual players away.
I know people like being all hardcore and everything but seriously I'd rather have something entirely new than something as obtuse as that again.
Music was a huge letdown too.
And what killed Fzero wasn't GX but the GBA games that absolutely bombed and the TV show.
I think that's what they're talking about when they say that they're not happy with what Fzero became sales-wise.
Bring back Fzero X and the expansion pack with online sharing.
Also 30 players online need to happen!
Pretty much.
I've posted the same in other threads, but less...eloquent.
The last time Nintendo "tried" with F-Zero, there was an arcade game, a GameCube game, two Game Boy Advance games and an animated series every Saturday...
..."noone" cared because arcades were dead, Gamecube-lol purple purse, GBA-wtf no backlit, TV show is lame.and WPIX sucks. They all underperformed.
Then played GX years later (and most on Dolphin), and suddenly are the biggest fans ever and wonder why they don't make them anymore.
Heck, they tried to have Criterion make a new entry, so they still seem to be looking around for someone to make a new entry.
Same with Metroid and the Prime Trilogy bombing, Other M lower sales, etc.

Why do people keep mentioning the original Smash Bros character, Captain Falcon, in this thread?
Dreams!No worry, F-Zero will be Nintendo's first VR peripheral game.
Possibly maybe.

This game already exists btw: http://fzero.wikia.com/wiki/BS_F-Zero_Grand_Prix_2Nintendo will honor the series milestone by coming out with F-Zero: BS
So F-Zero is even deader?Nintendo should be quite interested in how well FAST Neo does.
F-Zero GX can't be topped, so it's understandable that Nintendo won't put out a new one as it will disappoint from the get go.
No one will buy the game. It's exactly why we haven't seen a new Metroid yet. HD development takes a lot of time and therefore money. Time and money better spent elsewhere.Super Metroid and Ocarina of Time can't be topped according to many fans but those series saw plenty of entries after that.
that's a weak excuse and an admission Nintendo is lacking on talent if they can't even beat a game developed by an outsde dev.
