Rumor: Another GameCube Classic Is Being Remastered by Luigi’s Mansion Developer

gamerant.com:

A Nintendo Switch version of F-Zero GX is reportedly in the pipeline, with a newly emerged rumor claiming that the remaster of this GameCube classic is being handled by the developers behind the popular Luigi's Mansion franchise. While the list of GameCube games available on Nintendo's hybrid console remains somewhat scarce, the surprise release of the Metroid Prime remaster in February inspired new hope among the fandom that more such titles are in the works.

The original rumor that an F-Zero comeback is happening surfaced in January, when a known Nintendo leaker suggested at least one more installment from the franchise will be making its way to the Switch sometime in 2023. Based on recent developments, many took this as an indication that the 2003 GameCube classic F-Zero GX is coming to the Switch Online library.

YouTube channel Nintendo Prime now claims that is precisely the case, in addition to reporting that the remastered version of F-Zero GX is being handled by Next Level Games, the developer behind the Luigi's Mansion and Mario Strikers series. The report, citing industry sources, suggests the Canadian studio is currently also working on one other unannounced project and that it has recently been on a hiring spree in order to combat a talent exodus which followed its 2021 acquisition by Nintendo.

This same outlet has recently been claiming The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Switch OLED model is in the works, which was corroborated by several other reports, implying some level of insider knowledge. That notwithstanding, Nintendo Prime also suggested this limited-edition Switch will be releasing on March 10, which hasn't come to pass. Their track
