CGRundertow - F-ZERO: GP LEGEND for Game Boy Advance Video Game Review

[Wildcardbitches1]

"brake neck speed"- judas priest

[bluesBro18]

at least there's no giant blue turtle shells

[mariofan6489]

it definitely looks like a remake(and a good one at that) of the original

[7BillionAndDying]

F-Zero 3DS

MAKE IT HAPPEN NINTENDO

[crazyskia7795]

f-zero for 3ds ambassador games!!! iv never played it, but it looks really fun!!

[WABpictures]

First Id ask to see your Dolorian. Gatta love Back to the Future

[thaneros]

Why do anime shows based off of video games add in useless supporting/main characters that aren't in the games!!?!!

[youyouyouguy]

why did the map keep disappearing?

[MikeArcade07]

Great review but(like everyone else has told) there IS one more F-Zero Game for the GBA called F-Zero Climax(love that name XD), It's basically takes place AFTER the anime but keeping it's style and characters from the show, you can even play as TWO Captain Falcons(I'm not spoiling how THAT'S possible)!!!! I hope we get the cast of Maximium Velosity, GPLegend, AND the AX Characters in future games.

[supersmashbro596]

you guys realise that theres still ONE more on the gba?

sadly... and im pretty sure its due to 4kids CANCELING THE ANIME...

it didnt get released!!! it plays like this and has more stuff to it, probably the best one for gba.

[supersmashbro596]

@supersmashbro596 its called f-zero climax. ive played it on the emulator and it had some nice changes... even a track builder! plus some awesome renditions of classic songs...

and thank 4kids entertainment for ending the series with ONLY 15 OUT OF 50 EPISODES.

[supersmashbro596]

@supersmashbro596 yes its japan only... XD well worth the trip and or downloading to play it.

[Kj16V]

Hey, Derek. Press DOWN when you jump! lol :D

[goldensolder44]

judging from the gameplay I've been seeing, you shoulf double tap the L & R buttons & push B for the boost.

[yugiohfan5]

Oh, the memories.

[sonicmario64]

This game actually made up for "F-Zero: Maximum Velocity", which was kinda boring.

[sdvfuihsdiovsfiog]

got this game NEW with its BOX for 10 BOX

[RenegadeFury]

Nintendo 3ds graphics aren't any better than this.

[TheMisterManGuy]

@RenegadeFury WTF? the 3DS is vastly more powerful than the GBA & DS.

[Ironscimitar]

Hold down for a soft landing...

[ptwob]

i use to play this like hell!

[vgbjason]

"GP Legend is right on track"

Ah see waht you did thar.. har har har

[47H10N]

Farucon Pawnch! I'm waiting for 7 years for a new F-Zero.

[Gyzyn]

There's only one true CAPTAIN FALCON!

[joaobisgo]

Just a tip, Derek: Double-tap R or L on those turns, it'll help you a lot gettting past then.

[aglewi41]

i don't have a delorean, i have a telephone booth from the 50's

[JanettySupportTour]

My friend used to have this game and I would go to his house to play it all the time while he slept with my girlfriend

[SatoshiMatrix1]

Derek if you like GP Legend, import yourself F-Zero Climax also for the GBA. It was Japan only, but its almost completely in English and is even BETTER than GP Legend. Also there's a goddamn TRACK EDITOR.

[speedy2davey]

DAMN do I LOVE this one. I still play it and the soundtrack in all of it's 32 bit glory is AWESOME ^_^

[fsmetal]

Have y'all reviewed Metroid: Zero Mission? If not, you should. It was AWESOME. One of the best remakes EVER

[emucosmos]

another must buy for me, thanks CGRundertow

[BenAndJoshInc]

this look really good!

[THEREALVITO]

Can you review Golden Sun?

[orionpax55]

Whoever recorded the gameplay really needs to start holding down when going off a jump.

[speedy2davey]

@orionpax55 Lol, I was thinking the EXACT same thing XD

[mighty3alloa]

i have been waiting for f-zero gxc on either 3ds or teh wii

[Tmal10]

I remember when I first saw the original Game Boy Advance teaser on Nintendo's website and how they had an interactive 360 degree image of the GBA it's self, seeing Super Mario Bros. 2 and Mario Kart Ghost Valley level footage, it was disbelief and wonder I haven't experienced since.

The twilight princess trailer came close though.

[EmeraldWarrior420]

It looks like the same graphics as the original SNES F-Zero. Does it actually use Mode 7?

[VonSeux]

Anime style sucks... it killed Castlevania on the DS

[HuracanPolimar]

F-Zero Maximum velocity Kick so much ass.

[glitchz1]

Hey nintendo where Ice climbers?

[pippo17173]

F-zero should be on ds.

[Darkbeatdk]

It looks amazing

[WebVMan]

What hating? I never played F-Zero X, but GP and Maximum Velocity have to better than X. I had both games and I love it. It's like the SNES game but better. I personally perfer the 2D F-Zero to the 3D.

[volkte37]

@WebVMan F-Zero X is amazing. The control of the craft is spot on and the music superb. Each major game in the series is superb. They all feel different which is a good thing. The GBA games are decent but offer little new.

[theaceofspades56]

I could barely play the game on N64! I could only imagine it being harder to control on gameboy Ad!

[JackBandicootsBunker]

Here I can see why I can't digest F-ZERO: GP Legend and also Mario Kart: Super Circuit. They look like complete rehashes out of the original SNES games. I consider it unacceptable. That's why I'll always prefer the F-ZERO games on the N64 and N64DD.

[benjaminloopy]

asdfghjkl

[NateRiverNearL]

LONG LIVE THE GAMEBOY

[zebure]

damn nintendo give us an f-zero on the wii.....

[MrTURBOJOHN]

@zebure I think they don't do it cause what could they do that already was done on GX

the graphics are the same, so nothing really invented could be done on the wii

[TheGravitationist]

@MrTURBOJOHN

The graphics wouldn't necessarily be the same since the wii is more powerful than the gamecube. Compare Sonic Heroes to Sonic Colors for example.

[MrTURBOJOHN]

@TheGravitationist Its not much more powerfull, what they could do, wouldn't be seen in 1000 km per hour

[FaSGamez]

@zebure No 3ds just think how great that would look in 3d

[IRSPONGEBOB]

@zebure It wouldn't benefit from the Wii at all. Bad online, the F-Zero franchise is now irrelevant because of that stupid anime, and their wouldn't be that much of a graphical difference from the Gamecube.

It would however, benefit from being a launch title on the next Nintendo console.

[zebure]

@IRSPONGEBOB Graghpic Graghpic Graghpic. : There are other things in games that make them good...

[IRSPONGEBOB]

@zebure I also mentioned online and lack of relevancy. (Being a launch game for a new console will get it a lot more attention.)

And let's be honest. You would rather have an HD F-zero than a re-hash of F-Zero GX right? .... Right?!

[DeltaPhi79]

@IRSPONGEBOB Not much of a graphics difference... And yet you know that there would be if they take advantage of the hardware. (Like with Zelda: Twilight Princess. The Wii version only looks like it does because they ported it to the GameCube, too.)

[IRSPONGEBOB]

@DeltaPhi79 OK? To be honest i don't know how they could make it look better than GX with the Wii's hardware. GX is an amazing looking game that imo looks better than most Wii games, and a sequel on the Wii wouldn't make much of a graphical difference no matter how hard they pushed the hardware...Which i doubt they would considering the game would flop anyway.

[BlooLegend]

@zebure Very unlikely..Sice GX didn't sell as well as Nintendo wanted

[ZENXMETAL]

@zebure Or A 3ds version

[Fluffypopcicle]

@zebure

no, that would be pointless. they need to work on one for the 3ds.

[TheMisterManGuy]

@Fluffypopcicle True, F-zero has always been on powerful hardware ie

SNES

GBA

N64

Gamecube

[Fluffypopcicle]

@TheMisterManGuy

Powerful hardware for their time. I bet years from now the 3DS is going to be as weak (technology-wise) as we consider the Super Nintendo now.

[TheMisterManGuy]

@Fluffypopcicle Seeing how the 3DS is more powerful than the Wii in terms of Processing speed & Shader effects, I wouldn't be suprised if a new F-zero arrived on the 3DS.

[thaneros]

@Fluffypopcicle I think F-Zero on 3ds would make your eyes bleed. BUt I'll still play it!

[TheBadBuffalo]

@zebure or 3DS!

[SLRMC93]

@zebure I think they're waiting for the Wii-U now......God I hope.

[Luigifan919]

@zebure or maybe the Wii U or 3ds

[SOUTHWESTENZ]

did he just say gx is better than x !!!!!

[TheCuster58]

What about F-Zero Climax?

[SOUTHWESTENZ]

@TheCuster58 4 real, maby he doesnt know bout it

[TheGravitationist]

@TheCuster58

It was a Japan-exclusive

[TheCuster58]

@TheGravitationist I realize that. But the Gameboy Advance is not region locked. There's nothing to stop anyone from playing it. So I just thought it was curious that he didn't mention it.

[SOUTHWESTENZ]

y the hell didnt we get f zero climax!

[StaySmartGE]

240p is for the real nerds!!!

[SOUTHWESTENZ]

can you guys review one of the folowing ^^
