Criterion Were Asked to Pitch F-Zero Wii U

Did you know that racing specialists Criterion were asked by Nintendo to pitch F-Zero for Wii U?

The studio, who are known for the likes of Burnout and Need for Speed, were asked by Nintendo of Europe back in 2011 to work on a pitch for an F-Zero title for Wii U, which would have been shown off during E3 alongside the console's reveal.

The studio were working on Need for Speed: Most Wanted, so had to turn the offer down - confirmed by studio founder Alex Ward to NintendoLife this week.
