Reboot him into a new genre

Murder Mystery

Let the player do normal F Zero races, combined with on foot beat em up combat for some of Captain Falcon's bounties

have platinum make it

Would actually be totally into game that explores the captain's bounty hunting exploits.
With some high speed chases in between of course.

Why not both? You are a guy who drives around in his ridiculously fast car and beats the shit out of criminals after knocking them off the road. You can still compete in races and shit. Maybe you could even integrate the car into the fighting gameplay, so you can summon it to run cunts over at 400mph.

Hot take: Captain Falcon was always better as a Smash Bros. character than as a racer. He is more well known for the falcon punch than he is for racing.
Thus, he should be put into a character action game.

There are already plenty of good beat em ups
F-Zero doesn't really have any substitutes

It can keep the racing. You can have pure racing modes where you just do a race on a track of your choice. But for the story mode I think Captain Falcon could be a really cool, fun, spectacle fighter.

Eh maybe
I'd rather they'd just put all resources into making as much good racing content as possible
F-Zero's hella unique already I don't really see a point in changing it but that could be fun I guess. Maybe they could make a hub world you can drive around in. That'd be neat.

If it has to be a new genre, open world bounty hunting immersive sim with a car.
In order to pull off a dense and open city environment at 60fps on Switch the artstyle is hardcore low-poly aesthetic ie FzeroX but with cleaner textures and atmospheric lighting.

OP is a faggot with absolute shit taste the F-Zero series is absolute racing kino

True but what if it was also something else?

It that's the case then the series wouldn't be dead, faggot.

Why not just make a new IP and keep F-Zero a racing series which it is known for and excels at

That's a big assumption faggot

Open world game like GTA but the missions are almost always related to racing or bounty hunting. It might be dumb to have an F-zero game take place outside of races, but that's pretty much the only way Nintendo can market it to normies. You can use his special moves from Smash Bros in hand to hand combat. The game would be centered around Cap falcon but there would be other playable characters in races of course.

It's not the game's fault Nintendo never fucking marketed it

fast paced 2.5d side scroller with a similar move set to his SSB stuff.

Nigga we're just throwing ideas around here.
In an ideal world we could have both.

Why does he even have a gun?

Falcon isn't much of a character in his games anyway, so that's not an unpopular opinion. Saying that means F-Zero should be rebooted into an action game is retarded though since they have a hueg cast and making Falcon the center of attention as he would be as an action protagonist would be a disservice to how much they could do with everyone else.
GX was successful though, the series is dead because Nintendo is afraid of having a racing game compete against their own money printer, especially since F-Zero isn't marketed towards casual fans.

visual novel about transitioning

OP here. I like the f-zero games but clearly Nintendo doesnt think the same. So rebooting him into a more popular genre might be his only chance.

To prove he doesnt need a gun to beat people.

It wouldn't be ideal for me because I don't want Smashfags who don't even care about the series to get what they think they want

>tfw saw him without the helmet for the first time a week ago.
My life has never been the same.

f-zero being made into nintendo's take on gta, but with themes of racing and bounty hunting instead of crime
open-world game built around vehicles, lots of freedom to do whatever
story and quests involve races and bounty hunting naturally, world map might be localized to just a single, heavily detailed city like gta or going from planet to planet with smaller cities on each planet
i think doing this would be enough to differentiate it from all the other racing games while still letting it be a modern take on f-zero
