Yes, F-Zero 99 was a cute diversion after Nintendo’s high speed racing series seemingly went into hibernation, but fans are still waiting for that next proper F-Zero game to arrive.
It turns out, though, we didn’t need Nintendo after all. Solo developer Aaron McDevitt has developed Aero GPX, a futuristic racer that’s F-Zero in all but name. Grands prix of 30 colourful characters? Rollercoaster tracks? A banging electro-rock soundtrack? Check, check, check.
It’s presented in a cartoonish, cel-shaded aesthetic that brings to mind the Japan-only F-Zero anime GP Legend, and provides a clean, crisp look to the super fast racing. And yes, it’s very fast.
