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!

A preview of FAST Racing Neo from Nintendo World Report provides additional details about Shin’en’s upcoming racer. Read on below for a summary of the latest information.

– Sunhara Plains is among the game’s courses
– This level has flame torches everywhere and being hit by one of these is brutal
– Daitoshi Station is another track, set in space
– There is an open area where you have to fly between various asteroids and there is a very little room for error
– At another point in that same course, asteroids are also trying to crush you and that stuns players
– Storm Coast and Kamagori City are other new tracks
– Storm Coast makes hefty use of the switching mechanics and took place in the pouring rain
– Kamagori City is very short
– Every lap here is over in roughly 35 seconds
– Kamagori City has an old Nanostray boss in the background
– Other references can be found in the final version
– The stages shown so far aren’t how the final cups will be
– The design is nearly done, but there will be a lot of internal testing before submitting the game for release
– The full game will also feature a variety of modes including the Championships, Multi Player, Online Play and a harsher Hero Mode
– No smaller challenge levels like the previous game, but there will be other options will keep players engaged
