Port Town: The place is pretty self explanatory, though by Port Town they mean it isn’t just for sea transport, but for intergalactic transport as well. For this reason many trade empires own a lot of land here, and some say it’s also the hometown of the legendary Captain Falcon. A lot of travelers come by here for one reason or another, and sadly due to the place’s nature many smuggling operations have occurred in the area.
I’ve heard that they’ve said that there’s nowhere to take the franchise from _GX/AX,_ no way for the game to evolve from where it was in the GameCube era. Since this is _Nintendo_ we’re talking about, I think that that’s bullshit, and they just want to kill it because it’s too Western-looking for them, and anything outside their cultural paradigm upsets them. Like how they made _Metroid: Other M_ because the idea of a strong female protagonist fills them with absolute disgust.
@@Xalerdane I don't think it's because F-zero would be too western looking for them. It's just because F-zero is a niche licence, they don't want to bother with it whereas a new Mario/Pokemon game or else will be a commercial success for sure. Minimum effort for maximum money. Fuck Nintendo. We don't ask them to give up their AAA games, but just resurrect licences like F-zero, Starfox...
@@rockmanx8011 Also they likely consider _F-Zero_ redundant with _Mario Kart._ Note how anti-grav, the Blue Falcon, and two classic _F-Zero_ racetracks are in _Mario Kart 8._
@@Xalerdane Not like Nintendo hasn't been milking far inferior franchises for the past 20 years... maybe they just know they can't top what Sega did here
I think both of the above comments are true. It would take a minor miracle for Nintendo to outdo this game and sales for the series have never been great. F-Zero 99 seems to have been popular for what it was, so maybe that will convince them. I suspect that us fans of GX would be disappointed in the direction Nintendo goes with the series. Sega's game design philosophy was always the opposite of Nintendo's. GX was the adrenaline rush of an arcade game blown up to the size and replay value of a console exclusive. Very rare even back in 2003 and especially now.
Does anybody else hear the electronic voice going "Port Town" over and over throughout the song or is that just me? Or is it saying something else??? Idk
X was the hype guitar shredding stuff, GX was more techno and electronic house. Weird since F-Zero has a phenomenal track record music wise but can’t stick to a consistent genre of music.
@@rebirthphoenix5646 Hm... I'd say it's the opposite. X took the original and turned it to 11. Maximum Velocity went back to the roots for a bit, but GP Legend and Climax followed X pretty well. GX seem like the odd one out here ^^
F-Zero AX rocks. Love how it threatens to throw me out the side of the seat when I turn too sharp. Too bad the music is garbage, not that I'd hear it in the arcade anyway

It was always a shame that Aero Dive was a stage in Smash, but this theme wasn't there to accompany it...
It's still ridiculous to me that this has yet to make it into Smash...when the stage it's literally the music for has been there since Brawl.
Why don't you do it yourself?
@@derekmaullo2865 Because that is Nintendo's f***ing job LMAO, and they can't even do that right.
@@erickcastillo267 How about do it yourself?
@@derekmaullo2865
Because I don't get paid to fix the big companies mistakes. They do. So they big companies should do their jobs.
@@espurrseyes42 Do it yourself?
Hidenori Shoji is an absolute legend when it comes to hype VGM. Been a fan since this game and happy to see him still crushing it with the RGG series.
What’s RGG?
@@PheTEC Like a Dragon/Yakuza. JP name is Ryu ga Gotoku (aka RGG). Also the name of the studio that makes the games is RGG studio.
thats the funny thing, you can trace a direct line between f zero gx devs and yakuza, through sega cs1 and r&d
7:09 yeah the final lap
Nintendo seriously needs to make a new F-Zero game!

@@jeanderbar Who owns F-Zero, exactly? SEGA or Nintendo?
*ALARM SOUND ON BLUE FALCON WHEN NO ENERGY METER LEFT*
If GX / AX receives a remaster on Switch
Buckle up
Crank the 🎵🎶🤘
This track is inspirational. one sound from a video game that I keep coming back to. love the style and progression
ON GOOOOODDDD
Definitely using this for a video
Port Town cylinder wave, definitely "like a snake" 😃
Hidenori Shoji is a GOAT composer/arranger.
This was my favorite track to race on in the game
??
as a skull main YES!! we played this track so much my boost S rank ass memorized all the boost pad spots... it was VERY unfair for my friends XD
"Show me your moves!!"
I still can hear boost sounds in my mind, memories from a crazy driven master sapphire cup 🤣
YOU'VE GOT BOOST POWER! PSCHHVVV PSCHVVV PSCHVVVV! BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!
@@halometroid BROKEN DOWN! RETIRE
@@averysmalman8191 3! 2! 1! GO!
@@halometroid If you're not constantly redlining, are you even playing F-Zero GX?
The CRRRRRRACCCCCC-BOOM CRRRRRRRRRACCCC-BOOM
Port Town Cylinder Wave
My favorite 😍
@@Fra93TheGrande that track is a nightmare, i think ur the only one who likes it lmao
Yikes, the finish line jump fills me with bliss~
No matter what class you’re on, the Port Town tracks are an easy dub
Port Town Long Pipe ❤
Port Town Aero Dive ❤
Reminds me a lot of X's "high jump" 🤧
Nintendo is sleeping on gold that is this franchise. Wtf is wrong with these people?
Niche audience, sadly.
Still salty that Sega made a better F-Zero(this game) game than them.

@@Cableguy15 I'd be more than happy with a re-release with some online functionality. All they really need honestly.
Let's just Dance baby!
Your dancing chomo!
Final Lap starts at 7:08
This song is perfect when you are driving in an Alfa Romeo Giulietta at max speed in the highway.
No one cares
@@derekmaullo2865 that wasn’t nice. Why yo my have to spread negativity and be so grumpy
no one cares
@@sackboywittmann60 you really have to be that toxic? Did you ate something this morning?
Late night drive with this would be 11/10
Does anybody else hear the electronic voice going "Port Town" over and over throughout the song or is that just me?
Or is it saying something else??? Idk
I hear the voice. But I have no idea what it’s saying. 😂
i can't unhear that now
Who else hears the original SNES engine sound in the final lap?
Saphire Cup was the best.
Fzero Gx And Fzero X And Fzero Maximum Velocity Tenth Zone East
For a WipEout song, this would be neat. But F-Zero... I just expect more guitar shredding and hype than laid back electronic music ^^

laid back!? This shit's aggressive.
@@WylieWolfenstein Sounds pretty laid back to me. The main menu themes in most F-Zero games have more going on than this track :D
This song would be good in both games. Wipe out music is like something you would here at a rave.
As opposed to Like a Dragon
F-Zero AX rocks. Love how it threatens to throw me out the side of the seat when I turn too sharp. Too bad the music is garbage, not that I'd hear it in the arcade anyway
Hell yeah! I always play the AX cup, every time 😎🔝 and Port Town Cylinder Wave is my favorite of course 😂
You did not just diss one of the greatest video game soundtracks of all time!
if u think the music is bad then why are you here
Noob
Oh, haha! AX sound so fun-
MY EYES AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
