Episode 931: F-Zero GuiX – Nintendo Radio Free

Hey there, so let me just dive into this — not sure if you’re with me, but here goes. You ever just stare at your inbox and feel it mocking you? Yeah, that’s me today, knee-deep in emails. James is off somewhere this week, and I have this feeling like things might finally get — I dunno, what’s the word? Less chaotic? But not really. Turns out, Jon’s hosting, and the chaos is still there, but in a much more… dignified way. If that even makes sense.

Anyway, speaking of chaos, Jon’s had this wild adventure at GameStop recently. Picture it: him navigating the wild world of Pro Memberships. Quite the saga, trust me. I found myself thinking about what old games would hit different on a new Switch 2. Feels like we’re always waiting for the next best thing, you know?

So where was I? Oh, right — that post-break chit-chat. If F-Zero GX ever made you feel like the universe was punishing you, well, join the club. The ever-elusive Nintendo mysteries: will they EVER drop new stuff for virtual consoles? And imagining a new Princess Peach game, like, how would that even fly today?

Oh, and here’s a thought that had me cracking up: “Git Gud” should be rewritten as “Git Gui’d” — seriously, learn the tracks or you’re a scrub. But hey, I’ve been there. No shame.

This bit was whipped into shape by Guillaume Veillette. The tune — “Men of Leisure” — it’s a vibe, thanks to Perry Burkum. Perry’s got some cool stuff over on SoundCloud if you’re into that. The logo? That’s all Connor Strickland’s charm. Keep an eye on him, he’s doing good stuff online.

For the grand finale, we jammed out to “Birdman” from Pilotwings 64. Greg picked that one — the man’s got taste. Shout out to Nintendo for the original magic. Alright, I’m out.
