It’s been quite some time since we last saw an F-Zero game, and according to Shigeru Miyamoto, there’s a reason for that.

“I think at the time it was a really big surprise, a new thing, a product that made sense,” he said. “I don’t see with current hardware how you could create a similar surprise,” Miyamoto told Edge.

However, with Nintendo’s new console coming out later this year, can an F-Zero game be far behind?

Edge asked Miyamoto that very question, to which he replied, “Maybe with future hardware, with Wii U coming up, maybe we could create something that does make sense, either as a smaller game, or a fully fledged title.”
