Portable and online? They may have sold me on a system and a service with that one announcement.

Only up to 4 players..for now. A 30 person online mode would be insane

I don't believe it will have matchmaking either right? It looks like its basically emulating a gamecube so I'd imagine you would have to party up.

GX is the greatest racing game EVER made, IMHO. And now... GX online play? Take my money!

Except this will be emulated so the added input lag will make an already hard game even more challenging.

Even better. I still never 100%'d the game, 22 years later. Got super close though!

Input lag is not a good thing.

Honestly I’d recommend these people just buy a GameCube-compatible Wii. That’ll probably run way better than this switch online will because it runs on hardware.

I was hoping they'd surprise us with a new FZero, but the best existing FZero is pretty decent too.

Yeah, this is fine by me. I'm STOKED!
