Episode 931: F-Zero GuiX – Radio Free Nintendo

Sure, okay, so here’s a rundown, or ramble really, about what’s going on with this all-email RFN thing. So, James is not around, right? Means Jon’s taking over. And by taking over, I mean it’s gonna be all about dignity and focus — or at least that’s what we hope. Maybe.

Anyway, let’s dive into it. Jon had this whole journey at GameStop. Not your average “let’s buy a game” stuff but more like a quest in the wild world of Pro Memberships. It’s a scene, trust me. Somehow that led us to think about games we’d want on the Switch 2. You know, the good old ones that deserve a little glow-up. Kind of like wishing for a cool sequel, but not really. You get me?

Then we hit a break — or maybe we didn’t? Either way, F-Zero GX came up, and man, that game is tough. Like, “why-am-I-doing-this-to-myself” tough. It’s the kind of punishment you low-key enjoy. And there’s chatter about Nintendo maybe, possibly, who knows, releasing new titles for virtual consoles? That’d be something. And oh, thoughts on a Princess Peach game? Yes! Imagine a modern twist, what they’d do with the whole series. It’s a lot to mull over.

Also, a revelation hit us like a brick: it’s not Git Gud, it should be Git Gui’d. Probably should learn the tracks first, right? Easier said than done.

Oh, by the way, Guillaume Veillette’s the genius editor behind this episode — tidy work. And the music! The “Men of Leisure” theme gets me every time, courtesy of Perry Burkum, check out his SoundCloud. Then there’s that slick logo by Connor Strickland — he’s worth a look too.

Ending notes? Greg picked “Birdman” from Pilotwings 64. Classic choice, Greg. Thanks, Nintendo.

And, I think that’s all. Or wait, was there more? No clue.
