Wave Race on the Nintendo 64 was the epitome of graphics back in the day. The ocean’s wave race tracks offered obstacles to overcome and dolphins to compete next to, even a track that I still swear to this day is orange soda and not actual sea water. Ridiculous notions aside, there is no doubt about it that the franchise was a huge hit and with the Nintendo Switch continuing to soar in popularity, it may be time to bring this bad boy back. And apparently, we’re not the only ones who agree because the original title’s producer teased something along those very lines.

It is the age of revival. Old favourites are coming back in a big way and in a recent interview with Fandom, the game’s producer teases that Wave Race could be the next title to join us in this generation. “You may see that game again,” Nintendo developer Shinya Takahashi told the site with an impish smile. “We have been trying to make many games and that may be one of them … I personally love Wave Race!”

It may not full confirmation, but it’s something we didn’t have before: hope. That, and the pink wetsuit was sick and if you don’t agree you can fight me. Looking at the Switch’s mechanics and how the joy sticks can be utilized both connected to the hybrid console and disjointed, a Wave Race revival would be perfect for this hardware. With a virtual console tease still on the horizon, and E3 around the corner, it is very possible that this will be one of the many surprises the Big N has up their sleeve.
