LAN play for F-Zero!

[OB1]

Oh fuck, I hope this isn't true!

Q: Will you have LAN support in F-Zero?

Nagoshi: Well, it's true at the time of E3 I was hoping that we would have that time. But we did not actually include a LAN mode in F-Zero.

Once you include a mode like that the multiplayer mode becomes the focus of gameplay. With F-Zero, we're more focused on the single-player game. That's the main reason we've not included it this time.

Whaaaa???!! But just yesterday ign reported that there was definitely going to be LAN support for F-Zero! What the hell is this??
