Anyone know what the release date for the US version of F-Zero? I'd rather not buy a Jap version when it's released on Thursday...

I'll find you some links to screenshots .... I'm still toying with the idea of getting a Jap copy but think I'll wait for USA one.

So will I. Apparently there's quite a lot of Japanese text to go through.

Okie dokie. For the Freeloader amongst you:

Taken from Playasia -

After several rumours which we read on the Internet, we have now tested running F-Zero GX on an American as well as PAL Game Cube™ machine while booting up with Datel's Freeloader disc. We have tried all 3 boot methods and came up with the same weird results on all our Cubes:

F-Zero GX starts to boot up and certain text menus suddenly appear in English language (while the game would usually display Japanese text menus), however the main menu points are missing completely and you have to guess through it until you can start a race. When playing the game itself, certain things such as speed & lap indicator are missing completely which makes it rather difficult to play the game.

Umm, you really need to look at the pics/video's on play-asia.com to get the full picture (no pun intended).

Also I know a chap in Holland who got his copy from play-asia this morning, what service eh
