I hope that not having access to the AX connectivity doesn't affect the times we can get whilst time trialing, otherwise those Japanese guys will have a huge advantage. Hang on, maybe they are doing this so they can take over all the world records (unlike in F-Zero MV ). Their sneaky plan is revealed!

How many of us will this affect anyway? Probably all of us in a POSITIVE way. We dont have to waste extra money to unlock everything

Well, it pretty much sucks they have decided to not put it in the US/European version of AX, but hey, where are the arcade halls in Europe anyway? I'm not going to drive or cycle very far just to play F-Zero AX.
btw, I've checked this news-site further (I must say, the "Q" is a cool machine, it should have been the Cube instead of what we now have, but it looks damn ugly!) and found out that there's a new GBA F-Zero on the way (looks good, there's one screenshot on the site). It will be comunicating with GX, so there's a good point. Also I'd like to ask the reviewers from Famitsu what they expect of F-Zero. F-Zero GX got 32 out of 40 points with one of the comments from the reviewers being: "the game is too fast". Dammit, that's what F-Zero is all about! Stupid...

Don't worry guys, there's still gonna be the connection between the arcade and home version. That site made it up. Someone contacted Nintendo and they said the link was coming to the U.S.(probobly Europe too)

I can second that. Last night I read a report stating that the previous story was erroneous and that AX/GX connectivity WILL happen worldwide.

Well, so let's all hope we'll get some Arcade cabinets near our offices (or schools, or whatever).

Well, that's all great and so, but where the h*ll are we Europeans going to find an F-Zero AX module? (Now don't start about the UK residents, because the only AX I know that is coming to Europe will be in the UK. And I don't live there. *sigh*)

You must not have read the thread very well. The report of no connectivity was in error. AX and GX will still connect in North America and Europe as well as Japan.

Oh Good. I don't want to have to move to Japan the rest of my summer. I still want to keep some of GX a secret, but I got a secret that will reck the Japs compeletely. I will put it on my site and it will be released on Wednesday.

Will these AX systems be in most arcades? I only live a few miles away from the tourist capital of the south, lots of Londoners come down here in the summer for weekend breaks etc... and there are literally tons of arcades everywhere along the beach and in the city. Surely atleast one of them will get one, hopefully.

I also have some arcade centers a few kilometers away from me (I live near Paris), and I really hope that at least one of them will get a F-ZERO AX cabinet (deluxe or not, I don't care, as long as it has the memory card port).
Unfortunately, most of Europeans won't have this luck.
