>already got an expansion for forgotten land this year exclusive to nintendo’s newest console>is going to have a sequel to his cult classic racing game that brings back his creator, also exclusive to nintendo’s newest console>already got his own direct about it>is going to get another one>said racing game will be one of the big holiday titles this yearIs it just me or is nintendo pushing kirby harder than they usually do? Like it’s not dk levels of push but it’s pretty near that. Kirby has never had a game in the first year of a new console, now he’ll technically have two.
Kirby's always had strong brand power but the games have never really matched it. When Forgotten Land finally dethroned the original to become the best selling game in the series I imagine it was kind of like a "fuck it, let's go all out" moment for Kirby
I found a copy of Kirby's Dream Land a week ago
>>720497096Definitely seems that way, I wonder how much they’re gonna do for the next mainline game and 35th anniversary
>>720496652Kirby should be Nintendo's new de facto mascot. The games, merch and fan service are higher quality than Mario at this point.
I watched the playthrough for the DLC, its shit.Just reskinned levels with an additional boss.
>>720498361Based
He will be OP
>>720498671The level design is pretty good and it’s essentially two worlds worth of levels though I will admit that I wish they had more new bosses and new upgrades
>>720496652>Is it just me or is nintendo pushing kirby harder than they usually do?It's just you. Go see Wii U era/late 3DS Kirby. They were desperate.
>>720499789Unless you count 3d classics: kirby’s adventure, neither of those had a kirby game within the first year. Kirby has also had his own directs until this year.
>>720499658If he’s in, that is
>>720497207Cool, where?
You ARE going to buy his $49.99 amiibo, right?
>>720497096No other gaming franchise has gotten a game award and a Grammy in the same year
>>720501192Maybe
I wonder if air riders will get dlc
>>720496652It's probably to please Sakurai so he'll go back into the Smash cuckchair
>>720496652Didn't play the first air riders but the new one grabbed my attention because it doesn't even look like a racing game. Is more like an adventure game on a hovering board. It has everything. Collecting, enemies, boss fights, platforming, multiplayer. Pretty cool.
>>720501192Yes, I'm already taking a loan of to purchase all the amiibo
>>720503142I hope there is no new smash brothers for another gen. Sakurai is very talented and is being wasted on Smash shit. Let this man work on a new ip.
>>720496652
>>720500696in a trash can
Is Air Riders going to be GOTYAY or will it just fizzle out after the people who hyped up the original realize they don't actually like the game?
>>720500696In a tub of old computer stuff (CDs, floppy disks, etc) that belonged to my cousin's bf's dad. There was three other tubs of old cords and chargers that I found some other game related stuff:>GBP/GBC, Sega Genesis, PSP, and PS2 slim power adapters>2 PS2 controller extension cables>GBC and GBA connectors>Wii U hdmi cord>3 PS2 component cables>PS4 camera
>>720501192That silly moment in the direct where Sakurai demonstrated a rider attaching to an air machine was probably alluding to these new amiibo.
>>720504250Cool
I have never known a person in real life who gives a shit about kirby.
>>720505032That’s pretty sad, anon
>>720504076It will never reach Mario Kart's sale numbers, but because it seems to improve on the original Air Ride in every way without compromising anything, I imagine it's going to be one of the most well-received games in Nintendo's entire library.
Does anyone have a screenshot of today’s direct showing off the amiibo functionality? I think they accidentally revealed costumes are a thing
>>720496652Kirbo is the ole' reliable of platform characters.
>>720505913True
>>720503567I wanna see another kid icarus game
>>720501192Isn't this literally the same gimmick as that one Skylanders game?
>>720497207Did you find it in your Dreams?
>>720496652Kirby is definitely getting a harder push, not that I’m complaining, he might even be an A Tier Franchise at this point
>>720507676if my dreams have a sequel hopefully I'll find KDL2.
>>720507838It’s definitely a nice feeling seeing one of your favorite franchises getting treated so well
What are they even going to show in the second direct besides more characters?
>>720507491Swap Force? Yup
>>720508127Story mode, costumes, top ride, and other random tidbits
>>720501192Part of me wants to because I'm a sucker for gimmicks like this. The other part thinks this should be $30-40.
what would be the third Super Duper Ride™, if they even plan on making one for city trial?
>>720509024Sakurai’s disembodied cock
>>720505878Imagine if Susie got a biker suit
>>720503607Coolio
>>720509862UNF
>>720501192Part of me wants to. I love Kirby, and it'd be fun to make fun combos.The other part of me is dreading collecting these due to being a jobless sperg.
>>720497096>the games have never really matched itKirby games have always been interesting because they don't feel tied to the mainline gameplay. Things like Air Ride or Canvas Curse don't feel at all out of place because somehow Kirby the character just works with anything weird they wanted to try out. I love Kirby.
These amiibo should not cost 50 dollars like fuck man
>>720510868you know who to blame for that.
>>720510076One of these days I'm going to randomly put the source in the post. Not today though, but one of these days...and it'll only be that one time.
>>720511058Judging by the previous Switch 2 accessory prices, these were already going to be like $45 before tariffs.
>>720512128we are back to the ol' arrogant 80's Nintendo it seems.
>>720496652What can they even show in another direct?
>>720509024A butterfly
>>720512949Oh fuck
>>720512558>still need to show top ride (if it didn't get cut)>still need to show more of city trial>there might be a story mode of some kind>checklists>more characters>more tracks>possible demo/network test announcement>more amiibo shillingThere's plenty to talk about.
>>720512454Wonder how long it’ll effect or if it even will
>>720513159there also seems to be currency we don't know what that's for as of yet
>>720513629Oh cool
>>720514075you can see a number go up in the results screen seems to be moolah.
>>720514250Oh yeah, that makes sense
>>720514636what that dosh is for is anyone's guess.
>>720514823Costumes, probably
