I wish Nintendo would add actual characters to their games rather than flood them with mooks

>>726445746
People like the mooks. Certain mooks.

>>726444819

Still not buying your game.

they want to be disney but don't want any of their products to have a recognizable cast of characters for whatever fucking reason. disney don't give a fuck they'll sell toys of whatever random-ass zootopia background character had three lines of dialogue, you ask nintendo to put a rpg character in mario kart instead of a random background cow and miyamoto himself will come to your house and fucking kill you

>>726447138
No yeah, for sure. I'm glad this is the look they settled on. Forgotten Lands Dedede just looked dopey and I hated 'separated eyes' Dedede

>Lalala shares her spot with Lololo, so there's only one and a half girls

Where's Adeline and Ribbon? They were in Sakurai-directed games.

>>726447467
dropped for starman and cappy

>>726444819
Shitposting aside how is the game? This is the only game that remotely speaks to me about the Switch 2.

Is it worth it or should I wait? I don't mind waiting years.

Oh, that's it? That's only like 4 more characters than the demo, I was expecting a bit more.

>>726447467
they were not.

K64 wasnt directed by him... however it is clear that its not the game or lore what Sakurai had issues with, it was the fact that there were humans or humanlike characters.

one of the RT assists is actually the Ripplestar crystal, K64's main mcguffin... BUT ONLY THE CRYSTAL! Addie, Ribbon or the Ripplestar fairies do not appear in this game in any way at all.

>>726447467
No they weren't?

>>726444819
He likes Bandana Dee?

>>726447882
Not enough to put him on the same row as the other protagonists apparently

>>726447669
So basically, Susie is Sakurai's "limit" for how humanoid a Kirby character should get?

I really miss that bug guy

I'm glad I went into this with no expectations for the roster because holy fuck he could not have dropped the ball any harder.

>>726448000
probably.

that, or he considers he filled the proper quota of 'non made by him' characters that should be in the game by putting the modern trio (her, Magolor, Taranza)

>>726444819
I don't even know what that pink haired robot in the corner is but I want to fuck it

Probably not. Him being displayed so prominently on the cover of the game and having his own amiibo is definitely Nintendo's doing.

How well do you think Sakurai copes with knowing his best Kirby game got a remake without him that rendered his original obsolete, and aside from that game, none of the fanbase favorite Kirby games came from him?

There is another...

>>726447047
I don't think he had a consistent design
with that said I prefer this than this weird orb thing they're doing with him

Why the FUCK are there so few jump spots in the new tracks? This game is heavily anti-flying compared to the first game.

>>726449223
I'll flip it and ask for a lot of people who "don't like Sakurai" they sure whine about the characters he puts in his games

No DLC will end up being untrue after the game sells gangbusters. Expect the absent to arrive.

So what is Leo? i mean, from where the fuck came from?

>>726450124
Nah, because Sakurai and the rest of the team certainly already moved on to Smash right after this was done.

>>726449998
There's plenty of jump spots though?

>>726444819
who the fuck is that brown thing next to magolor

>>726450293
One or two max on that autumn stage. Compare it to all the OG games having them basically nonstop, aside from the space course.

>>726450423
Taranza, a tragic spider guy.

Never gift random mirrors you find around to your waifu, anons.

>>726444819
The roster isn't bad, or small
but having so many random goons (and Kawasaki) but no Adeleine, or even other animal friends feels weird
>>726447467
if Adeleine and Ribbon's problem is constant upskirts on some machines then at least put in Chuchu for more girls
no octopanties, no problem

>>726444819
oh my fucking science is that LOLO?

>>726450497
Okay now look at the steampunk stage, or the nova stage, or the water stage, or the cyber stage

Just give them shadowy under skirts or bloomers.

>>726447047
nah its more he changed it back to his design
gotta repect sakurai being pretty much like "you dont touch my boy" despite liking forgotten lands design
>>726450829
or just give adeleine spats
ribbon doenst matter (personally i dont care if theyre added or not dispite liking ribbon, im more upset with no simirror and no heavy lobster boss)

How can anyone keep denying that he hates Adeleine/K64?

No, really. shes not in at all. Not as a racer, not as a NPC, not as an item, not even a reference. She gets snubbed out entirely. He never wanted a human in the franchise. He wanted them out of the anime. Friendly reminder: in SSBU, she was nowhere in the game, not even as a spirit. It’s 100% possible that Sakurai doesn’t want the character in the series.

I hate to say it, but this is a very likely scenario, and possibly the truth. Hopes of Ado getting in anything he directs are gone.

>>726450729
Sectonia was hotter after she started doing body part theft and gene splicing on herself

>>726450124
I give it a 50/50
Either he jumps straight into Smash or Nintendo milks it

>no split screen play online
Wtf

>>726451328
He doesn't specifically hate them, he just dislikes humans.

>>726444819
>spider thing from triple dx got in over Adeline or Ribbon
The rest of the roster is great at least.

what's with the random weebshit design at the bottom

>>726451328
She's part of the Dark Matter trilogy, the trilogy Kirby is most known for and ironically enough the set that he never even worked on. Of course he hates her.

>>726453064
bandana dee is "original the character" tier, it's just a waddle dee with a hat on.

>>726453064
It'll be a generic Waddle Dee, have Spear, Parasol, and Beam in its moveset, and have Doo and Bandana as alternate costumes

I feel like I'm going crazy. Is whether or not the game tells you which Stadium you'll be doing ahead of time in City Trial mode random, or is there a way to tell it whether to do it before or after? Because if it's random that's retarded.

>>726454175
if its anything like the original the stadium prediction notification is random on top of it being random that it could be outright lying lmao

Unironically no, the DM trilogy are 3 of the least known Kirby games. Dreamland 2 is the most liked out of the group but most people don't remember Game Boy Color games. 3 is legit one of the worst (mainline) Kirby games and almost ALL of its Animal Buddies were completely forgotten up 'til Star Allies stuffing them in the Cleaning power. And 64 is definitely the most memorable of the trio but still is a game that comes after Super Star and chooses to ignore what it added to the series to its own detriment and is on the 64, one of Nintendo's least successful consoles.

I love Adeline, Ribbon, and Ripple Queen myself, but the DM Trilogy does NOT hold a candle to any of the premier classic Kirby games. Adventure is one of those masterpieces that pretty much everyone needs to play, Super Star is Super Star, and even Dream Course runs circles around and is less tedious than trying to get the good endings of these games. We just kind of have to accept Gooey and Zero-Two being the most love we gonna see out of Sakurai for these games. At the very least, it is just Sakurai who is skittish about such, as the modern Kirby devs clearly hold a lot of love for the franchise as a whole.
