The last console-based F-Zero game was released for the GameCube in August of 2003. (F-Zero GP Legend arrived on the GBA about a year later.) For those of you doing the math, that's almost a decade - a decade without one of Nintendo's more iconic and notable franchises. Though it seems Wii will be without the futuristic racing series, Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto thinks F-Zero might find a home on Wii U.
"With Wii U coming up, maybe we could create something that does make sense, either as a smaller game, or a fully fledged title," Miyamoto told Edge in an interview. The famed designer noted Nintendo's current generation of hardware wasn't capable of creating the same "surprises" that previous generations had, perhaps contributing to F-Zero's extended absence.
