I'm an old fogey so i barely even knew original F-Zero before I was already in college (I'm in early 50's).
So I had to judge it on how it sounds rather than knowing it from latter day emulation or anything (which I easily could have accidentally run into the sequel it just didnt occur)
This feels just as good as anything in A-list games so it passed that threshold with no issues.
Outstanding job.
Gave you an itch follow, if you like the thing(s) on my page(s), consider doing the same.
Cheers!
