There’s no doubt that FAST Racing NEO is one of the most anticipated Indie titles coming out on the Wii U, not to mention one of the best looking, but one particular thing people keep bringing up since we first got a chance to properly see it a E3 this year is its similarity to F-Zero.

Art Director of FAST Racing NEO, Martin Sauter, is very much well aware of this, and recently revealed a brand new Hero Mode specifically designed for those that love a challenge and are fans of F-Zero.

In FAST Racing NEO, normally when you go through the shiny strips on the sides, they serve as giving you a replenishment of your boost gauge, but in Hero Mode, the gauge will now serve as the racer’s shield. Hero Mode is specifically designed to be a challenge for the more experienced players, and you must finish in 1st place in order to progress to the next race.

Martin Sauter told Nintendo Life that Hero Mode and the difficulty associated with it should quench the thirst for “F-Zero starved players”.

As a fan of F-Zero and racing games in general, I am excited beyond belief for FAST Racing NEO, and it seems that a good amount of the Nintendo community is as well. What do you guys think about this new mode? Any F-Zero fans out there that can’t wait to get their hands on this? Let us know in the comments below!

The Ignition Factor is slated for the North American Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow, Nintendo’s website confirms. You’ll be able to pick up the classic title for $7.99.

Here’s the official description from Nintendo’s listing:

“Take control of a brave firefighter as he battles to save people from towering infernos and flame-filled factories. You have a large variety of equipment to help you with your task. The hero isn’t afraid to get physical by kicking objects, climbing ropes, and jumping in order to get to all areas. But time works against you as the fires get gradually worse and you run out of breathable air. Different types of fire need to be extinguished using different methods, so you’ll need to use your equipment to the best of your ability. Enlist the help of the fire engine and your fellow firefighters to extinguish all the flames you can see. Keep your cool to rescue all of the victims, getting them out of the fire and back to safety!”
