Fans of Nintendo's ultra-fast racing series F-Zero have been waiting for a new game since 2004. The series is represented in Nintendo's premiere fighting game, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, with the inclusion of F-Zero's Captain Falcon as a playable character, but that is the only attention the series has gotten in over a decade.

Back in April Captain Falcon's creator Takaya Imamura said that he believes the series will see the light of day yet. However, he says that Nintendo is only interested in bringing back F-Zero if it brings something new to the series, which Imamura said is difficult since he believes F-Zero GX was the ultimate version of the game.

However, it seems that making an extremely realistic F-Zero is not enough of a new idea for Nintendo. During a video with the YouTube channel GameXplain, developer Giles Goddard, of Star Fox fame, sat down and talked about a variety of topics. One notable thing commented on by Goddard was that his studio Vitei pitched an ultra-realistic F-Zero to Nintendo, but the company ultimately passed on it. Goddard says that the game was extremely realistic, but there is no way of knowing if it would be as realistic as a series like Project Cars or more realistic in a different way, since the F-Zero series is a much more arcadey series.

However, Goddard did give some details on what the demo featured. He says that each of the cars hovered with four jets on the bottom of them, and once those jets were damaged the cars would sink lower to the ground or eventually flip over. He also says that the demo features hundreds of cars racing at once, and features a variety of crashes and collisions to test out the engine and the new realistic graphics. However, Goddard says that the game didn't happen because Nintendo was more interested in new IP rather than digging up old ones.

Hopefully, Nintendo will find a studio to do something with the F-Zero IP soon so that fans don't have to wait forever for a new entry. It also could be interesting to see Nintendo use the property in other ways, such as making an F-Zero anime. Of course, there is no way of knowing whether or not Nintendo will ever bring the property to the modern age, but it is comforting for fans to hear that the company is at least open to the idea.
