Here's a remastered version of an old upload of mine '4 Ages of F-Zero'.

Why remake it? 

Back when I made the original video, I was only using the trial version of the video editing software I use now, which meant when trying to make split-screen videos I had to cut a lot of corners to try and get the effects I wanted. The result of this was that the end videos were often not as aesthetically pleasing as I'd like, with screens that were mismatched in size, poorly centered and often with ugly black borders intruding into the playing window. Often, a lot of my older videos were also in 4:3 rather than widescreen, again resulting in unnecessary small playing windows for each screen of gameplay.  I can fix all that sort of stuff now, plus add in cool shit like a fly-by of the Blue Falcon on the title screen, just, y'know, 'cos.

In the four-way split, I've captured the F-Zero GX footage from my actual Gamecube,  but all the others were captured using emulators.  For the bonus footage at the end I used Dolphin, the Gamecube and Wii emulator. I replaced the original Dolphin footage for this from my first '4 Ages of F-Zero' video as  wasn't very good quality-wise (The F-Zero Climax footage still looked ok though, so was re-used). In it's place, I used some footage from another video of mine demonstrating the arcade version of F-Zero AX working in the Gamecube version of F-Zero GX.
