Yep. Starfox, F-Zero, and Metroid take place in the same universe.

X and Climax certainly have my fave songs out of the series.

I hated that GX went with a more techno soundtrack. It wasn't bad, but didn't feel like F-Zero at all.

what did you just say

If there ever is a new F-Zero game, there should be a bounty hunting subgame or something. The F-Zero universe is just begging to be shown outside of racing.

X. Better music, better menus, better gameplay.

GX/AX was good, but only thing it did better than X was graphics. And Fat Shark.

I'm hoping if we get a UX, it'll have a soundtrack similar to X/Climax. GX's music was such a let down.

GX. I never much cared for X honestly. Only rented it once or twice though, so maybe I didn't give it enough chance.

I felt the same way, then I got X on the virtual console and now I think I may like it more than GX. I dunno what it is, but there's just this amazing quality about it that makes it so much fun to play.
