I still can't get over the fact that the fucking battle royale adaptation of F-Zero suffers from less ludonarrative dissonance than its source material. The way this stupid thing plays is genuinely closer to how the franchise's plot has always described the titular tournament than any previous game in the series.
You know, in principle I don't mind F-Zero being reimagined as a massively multiplayer battle royale game, because that's literally the only gameplay model that could possibly be true to the franchise's ostensible premise. The fact that it's walled behind a subscription, however, can fuck right off.
