What do you expect them to do? The studio who made F-Zero GX is gone, so they can't license them to do one again, and when Nintendo made a fully fledged f-zero (Specifically GP legend), no-one bought it despite it improving on virtually everything GX did (except graphics, being a gba game) , including more tracks, characters, story mode, challenge modes, time attack, etc.
I bet Nintendo watched F-zero X virtual console sales very closely to see if it was worth making another on wwii and decided it wasn't.
Besides that, while Nintendo is flailing around trying to get a decent foothold for wii U, the last thing they need is to waste MORE time in one of the two genres that they actually have good support for on their console. (I.e. racing and platformers).
