F-ZERO for Wii! Real, or Hoax?!

Pardon our absenteeism lately, life and freelance work have kept us away from you, and our beloved Wii.

There’s some buzz lately about new games coming out at E3, and one of them is a Wii-centric version of the old favorite F-ZERO. Nintendic writes:

The F-Zero franchise has never been able to reach the heights of the original Super Nintendo game’s sales despite stellar efforts hitting the Nintendo 64 (F-Zero X), GameCube (the SEGA-developed F-Zero GX) and Game Boy Advance (F-Zero: Maximum Velocity, GP Legend, and the Japan-only Climax). But Nintendo has continued to push the game that pre-dated the WipEout franchise and has out-lasted the Extreme-G series of racers by bringing the SNES and Nintendo 64 games to the Virtual Console over the past year.

Real? Who knows. Hopeful? We are!

(for what it’s worth, Gametrailers.com has some good movie clips of F-ZERO on the Virtual Console. Good times!
