I hope you enjoy this F-Zero Review and Retrospective. As important as F-Zero was to the launch of the Super Nintendo, I wasn't expecting a story with so many potential failures and setbacks. The history and development of F-Zero is full of surprises, unanticipated connections to other pop culture icons, and technological innovations.
As someone who's fascinated by history and works professionally as an educator, it is very satisfying to create videos that merge my passion for classic games with my career as a History teacher. These Retrospectives are a passion for me and it's my sincere hope that everyone who watches will have fun, reminisce, be entertained, and learn something along the way.

When the snes first came out, my dad took me to a electronics shop where they had a display snes up and running. F-Zero was playing. My dad got me to try it 'i was only 7 or 8' and he was laughing and joking saying "oh you can't do it, shall we not get it" 😄 He didn't buy it while we was there, but a couple of weeks later it was Christmas day and it took pride of place under the tree as the main present for me and my brother. Happy memories ☺ My dad loved to play too! He would stop up late playing on the likes of Chrono trigger, Secret of Mana and Zelda. I think we played 80% of what games there ever was.

Wow, beautifully written and put, this is the BEST, most in-depth review for a classic racing game I've seen. I've always been curious about the history of one of my favorite SNES games, and I couldn't be happier to find out here. These videos are so full of passion for expressing the experience and the impact of these games, I can just feel it, and it's excellent in its delivery. It was fast, it was intense, it was innovative. Pure Nintendo in their glory days, and it was just another jewel in their crown for a brilliant new era for the history of gaming. I love F-Zero, and I STILL play it every now and then.

@GoodVibeCollecting 4 года назад

This game was so much more than a "tech demo". If fact it's probably my favorite racing game on the system. It gets brutal with the Master difficulty but you have to beat it to see the true ending. I love that sound of early SNES games which all use that same drum sample and bassline for the tracks. My favorite tracks in the game are probably Big Blue and Port Town. I never knew Mute was an abbreviation for Mutant but it makes sense. I also really like the old comic book version of Captain Falcon. He looks more like a futuristic racer where as his current form makes him look more like a super hero. It's sad to see that the F-Zero series has been dormant for quite some time but hopefully Nintendo brings it back someday.

@NESComplex 4 года назад

I agree! It’s definitely not a tech demo. Port Town is also one of my favorites. And I think Nintendo will resurrect the series one day. Hopefully the Switch gets a new one. Racers are sorely lacking on Switch

I mastered the original F-Zero as well as X and GX for years. My favorite racing game ever, and I can play it anyday. Looking back, the first game was a total revolution; fastest supersonic racing game then and 1st futuristic, SNES launch title, and had such intense gameplay and wonderful music and this is coming from a powerful home console in 1990! I bet this game had many people dropping their jaws when it was new. I'm glad I'm not the only person who noticed the Silence track looked like a 9mm pistol! Nowadays, we need a new F-Zero, but it's so unlikely, considering flatscreen and input lag ruining reaction times.

@@Jolly-Green-Steve I don't think this is entirely true. Nintendo is one of the very few companies that still gives chances to franchises that don't sell very well for the sake of innovation, quality and fun. This isn't always the case, but even then we have to remember that companies exist to make a profit. So with that in mind, we customers are partly responsible for many good franchises dying out. Sad but true. On the other hand, Big N is very stubborn sometimes and don't seem to hear its fans out for what they really want. They often make games when and the way the feel like doing them.

I really love your attention to detail with the music. Most of us definitely fell in love w/ SNES soundtracks, but also didn't get to fully appreciate them until several years later. Like you said, it is much more beneficial w/ a headset on. You get to hear every single note being played. So much respect for the composers of that era!

Thank you! Whenever I write about the music I just keep playing it over and over with a headset on. Really trying to consider what they’ve written. The score it SO intricate!!!

You have a wonderful gift for presentation. I've binged five episodes while working. They make for great background noise.

Awesome retrospective, currently playing this on my 3DS. It's very much a game of its time and I mean that in the best possible way. The music is top-notch.

@partywolf85 4 года назад

wow, i have never seen a retro game review that not only highlights the quality of the music, but also explains both how and why the music works so well! kudos, i'll be watching all of your retrospectives from here on out!

Thank you Jonny! I hope you enjoy the channel. I’m not sure why some videos don’t get views. I put the same effort into everything. Anyway. Thank you!

Top-notch as always man. I agree we do need more F-Zero can't believe it's been almost 17 years since the last one.

@NESComplex 4 года назад

17! That’s nuts. I don’t know how they’ve ignored it so long. A new one would be amazing! Switch style

@Ray_2112 4 года назад

@@NESComplex I don't get how they didn't even make a remake/remaster of X (on 3DS f.e.) or GX (WiiU or Switch). oO I know those sold less and less, but this franchise and it's fans deserve at least one more game, a last chance so to say.

I'm new to this channel, this is my first video ever on it and you tuched my heart. I'm a very longtime F-Zero fan, I played the original on SNES til' my controllers were broken, I played F-Zero X for years including beating all the staff ghost, and I did the same with F-Zero GX which I consider the very best racing game of the entire generation. I even bought the two GBA F-Zero ones and played them to death, my Smash Bros main is Captain Falcon and for years I had a Captain Falcon poster on my room. So many memories, and now, 17 years without F-Zero. It's sad, this franchise need a serious return. I'm sure I'm not the only one who loves it. Thank you for the video and keep the good work.

Man, you just took every single word out of my mouth, are you a mind-reader?

@NESComplex 4 года назад

The franchise has definitely been gaming gold EVERY time... I think it would take a total outcry from fans before they responded with a new entry in the series. I know a Switch version would be huge!!
