Will F-ZERO X VC be complete?

[DEMON212]

For those who have no idea what i'm on about, F-ZERO X isn't a complete game. To complete it, users had to get the F-ZERO X Exspansion kit, giving you many things. Great things (A car editor, 12 new tracks and a track editor, where you could make and save upto 100 tracks).

Only thing is, the kit was only available in Japan.

So, do you reckon we'll get the full version on the VC?

Search IGN for more info on the pack. I can't put a link to it 'cause i'm on the Wii.

I didn't know this, and I own the game. :o

Hopefully someday they'll let you update it for some 200 points, but for the first VC release? Doubt it.

You would Probably have to spend over 1000 points on the upgrade.

F-Zero X wasn't incomplete...

The Expansion kit was one of the few pieces of software released for the doomed DD64 system. It was simply a way of getting money off existing code for a system no-one was prepared to develop for. You put the original F-Zero X cart in the N64 and the expansion disk (which was writeable media - hence the track editor) in the DD. The Master Quest version of Ocarina of Time was a similar, nay identical case. Granted, the added things make the game more interesting, but it's incorrect to say the original game was not complete. I can't remember any more details about it, but that should cover the basics.

Since we haven't heard anything about DD64 releases on the VC, I'd say it's highly doubtful, at least initially. But given the Master Quest release on GC it's not impossible.

Well, Master Quest was supposed to be a full expansion aswell, with additional dungeons and all that stuff, but as we know, it was cancelled.

But when they rereleased OoT as a promo-disc to Wind Waker, they dug up one part of the expansion, the altered old dungeons, and pasted them onto the game, including it as a bonus game on the disc. The ROM itself is not at all distinct, and can, from what I've heard, be played on a regular N64 if extracted from the GameCube disc.

So in actuality, the true 64DD game has never seen the light of day, just one part of it that got to survive onto a regular game.

Ahhh, I see. I had no idea what the DD was you see.
