Switch Kirby Air Riders

The game is nearing its release so you can share your thoughts about it.

I genuinely hope that Sakurai's next project will be Kid Icarus or some other dead Nintendo series with little to only one entry (Ice Climbers, Mach Rider) getting revived rather than Smash Bros.

Game looks insanely good and I can't wait for its release. I was thinking to try Air Ride in the meantime.

Ditto, as much as I love Smash I love his non-Smash stuff (Meteos included).

I loved Bananza but this is one level above.

Do enjoy but sadly without online multiplayer the game is kinda limited.

Kirby is cute

 

[Scotty]

I COULD, but Kirby's happy expression perfectly sums up my thoughts on this game.

 

[Advil Lavs]

The game looks really good. I thought the second direct was going to be half new features and half gamelay but no. It has so much gimmicks and nice little things. Too bad I won't buy a Switch 2 soon

 

[Heinzu]

Yes it's a cute game but I have no Nintendo switch or switch2 so it's no use thinking about it.

While I buy pretty much every Nintendo game on release since they're rarely on sale (physical, of course), this is one that does absolutely nothing for me. I thought the Gamecube game was kinda garbage and nothing I've seen from this game has made me think "That's worth $70."

Too bad it's actually a full sequel of a game released more than two decades ago, womp womp womp.

If you're seriously seeing this game as a mere remaster of the original Air Ride on the GameCube you either haven't actually played the original game or just being of bad faith (like calling Smash Ultimate a remaster of Smash 4).

Especially when the game features both the content of the first game but also add a ton of content never seen before, namely the ability to play as more characters than Kirby.

It isn't so much a "remaster" as it is an expansion on the core gameplay; new characters, vehicles, abilities, etc.

Is that art worldwide? If so I'm glad they got away from giving him angry eyebrows for the west. Kirby strikes me as a hungry fellow, not an angry one.

I'm a bit annoyed when people dismisses a game as a remaster when they expand on the original's...

I don't know who'd call Mario Kart 8 DX as a remaster of 7.

Apparently yeah

The only time he frowned in Japan was with Planet Robobot iirc.

^ that's more like it. Let that little dude have his happy moments

 

[Stare best girl]

I'm more interested in this than Mario Kart World and Sonic Crossworlds together

I hope that next Sakurai's project is a Kid Icarus Uprising cross-gen remaster...

I like determined looking Kirby but only in game, not artificially making him badass for the sake of the western audience (because of his pink colour)

I was interested in Sonic CW but since they kinda don't care about Sega characters beyond Sonic and some modern ones I kinda went back to the All Star game.

But Air Riders seems to be a small game yet it packs a big punch with its arcade game design, something both racing series should take cues from.

I hope that next Sakurai's project is a Kid Icarus Uprising cross-gen remaster...

KIU HD could be nice but I'd love to see a sequel or even better an entirely new project (although I wouldn't say no to a new Meteos).
