F-zero 1 and 2?
« Thread started on: Jun 8th, 2003, 1:37pm » |

I actually always thought there was only one F-zero for the SNES, until I found both on a rom site. I see nothing about F-zero 2 on this site, why dont I? 
Could someone explain the differences and why this title seems to be forgotten and all. Was someone other than nintendo developing it?
Some history and explanation on this would be nice! Thanks!

If I recall correctly, BS F-Zero (FZ2) was designed for use with a specific device that was designed for the SNES. Can't recall what it's name was or what it did.
Don't think it made it out of Japan though.

It was a satelite network, which you connected to your SNES and then you could play online and download a few games?! There's actually a few gems in that collection of games: BS Dr. Mario: The only time on SNES where Dr Mario is on his own. BS Chrono Trigger - "?": Three pretty pointless "games"... One is the "racing" sequenze from Chrono Trigger, the other two is a character presentation and a sound test. Pointless, but kinda fun.  BS Dynami Tracer: I would kill to understand squat in this game. This unknown Square adventure look incredible...  BS Excitebike Bunbun Mario Battle: There's a whole bunch of these games. It's old Excite Bike with new visuals and our favorite plummer in the main role... Completely unplayable without an emulator though... BS F-Zero 2: 5 new tracks, 4 new vehicles and even a ghost in practice mode... BS Koi ha Balance - Battle of Lovers: OK, to be honest, I don't know anything about this game. But doesn't that title sound tempting. BS Radical Dreamers: This is probably the most interesting game of them all. This is Chrono Cross before Chrono Cross became Chrono Cross... Kinda... Or that's what I've heard... I haven't played it yet but I think that a fan translation is done...  BS Special Tee Shot: Kirby's Dream Course, without Kirby basically... BS Treasure Conflix: Another unknown Square game... BS Zelda: Take the original game, give it some new graphics and voila... a new game... And also a few games that I don't know much (read anything) about, but they look interesting enough: BS Albert Odyssey BS Arkanoid - Doh It Again BS Dragon Quest 1 BS Dokapon Gaiden BS Dragon Slayer BS Fire Emblem Akaneia Senki BS IkarinoYousai BS Kaizou Tyoujin Shubibinman Zero BS Kirby no Omotya Bako Baseball BS Lord Monarke BS Marvelous Camp Arnold Course BS Out of Bounds Golf BS Spriggan Powered BS Super E.D.F. BS Super Famicom Wars BS Super Ninja Kun BS Sutte Hakkun BS Wario BS Wizardry 5 BS Zoot Mahjong

In Fact, I have played the F-Zero 2 Rom, and got pretty good times, but that was a year or so back. I could go into detail, but it has been a while. Neven

That's...that's....impossible!!! 
I don't think they actually ever made a cartridge for fzero 2. The only way I can play f-zero2 on a console is to use the emulator on my xbox

It never made it to a cart version. There are, however, cart copy devices(which is how the ROMs were made in the first place) that allow for copying a game from ROM to cartridge.
However, depending on the game, the orginal cart version had a specific design for EACH board.
Been a while since I looked in to that, so I'm trying to recall this from memory.
