"But no, Nintendo forgets that the consumer is buying it."

Well thats interesting, cause MK: DD, Kirby:Air Ride, and 1080: Avalanche all have LAN.

Maybe Sega felt it didnt need it?

I already knew those games are going to be LAN'ed. But I was saying Sega/Nintendo could easily market this game more if it had LAN with it. It's a game that easily deserves at least a LAN setup.

IGN reviewed F-Zero GX and it got better scores then EGM gave. (This considering usually IGN is a little more strict, but also reinforces the fact that EGM people are getting too strict sometimes).

Presentation
Near perfect. From slick, intuitive menus to the full use of the F-Zero license (FMV, Story Mode, etc.) and Garage Mode, it's all there. 10.0

Graphics
Gorgeous. Beautiful tracks. Amazing particle and lighting effects. Lots of geometry. Crisp, stylish FMV. 60 frames. Progressive scan, 16x9. One or two unimpressive tracks keep it from perfection. 9.0

Sound
Surprisingly well done. Clean, funny voice work mingles with catchy rock and techno tunes that you'll actually want to listen to. Some sound effects seem subdued. 9.0

Gameplay
Extremely fun, addictive but also sometimes-frustrating and incredibly difficult racer. Tight control. Smart level design. Pros will cherish the experience. Novices may hate it. 9.0

Lasting Appeal
As much as we could hope (minus a track editor). 15 standard cups plus a wealth of unlockable ones. Nine Story Mode chapters. Garage Mode. Multiplayer Mode. Wow! 10.0

Not too bad. Tuesday seems so far away

I was at a local Super Wal-Mart today, and there was a Nintendo Rep there at the Gamecube booth, and they were doing a little contest thing with Tony Hawk 4. I got a little wristband-watch just for participating, and I got the Highest score in my timeslot so I won a Nintendo Backpack. The lady was like ''we should be having this with F-Zero, its newer'' and im like yea...anyways it just felt good to win something...

I scored 57,000 on my 2 minute run, BTW...not sure which level it was, the one with the logs and stuff...I dont own the game. I actually left before my timeslot was over, but they called and said I had won...so I gotta go pick it up.

Hehe I'd love to do one of those contests. I heard that they once did a Golden Eye contest here, but I didn't know it.

Actually, my score wasnt the highest for the day, just the highest in my 30 minute time slot. And its not like there was a crapload of people participating...It was kinda back in the corner, I just happened to walk back there and I saw the table with the prizes set up, and the Nintendo rep asked me to play...not like they had signs up all over the store about this or anything.
