Air Riders direct happening less than 2 hours from now.Any last minute calls, hopes, dreams, fears?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZHYjYHHiBM
my only fear is that it will be as barebones as the original
>>723958639
>>723958771This. I hope there's a lot more characters, more stages, more stars, more game modes. Just more of everything. I like what I've seen with the first direct and I think everything he's shown is great. I just want more so that we can keep playing it for years and years
so is air ride actually good or is it friendslop?
>>723960638Perhaps it will be rereleased to garner more interest like a demo.
Who asked for this?
>youtube chat is 99% ESLs crying about pricekek
>>723958771Seems to be pretty much confirmed from what we've seen so far. Don't assume a 60 minute direct means a ton of content. Sakurai is notorious for dragging directs out by talking about random unimportant shit.
>>723961512Nintendo's head of software development probably to broaden the Switch 2 install base to a younger demographic. And a bunch of fans of the original.
Kirby is fucking pissed
>>723958639I want this to be in the game and I'm not kiddinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bEZQ00OOxY
>>723961512i sont have any respect for this complaint. Videogames arent a service. The good ones at least. No one's favourite game is the result of some kind of fulfilled wishlist. It's most likely a game that you stumbled upon and turned out to be great without any specific expectations.Kirby air ride was good, just kind of niche because of the console it was released on and its unconventional playstyle. But i bet this one will be a lot more successful besides people having asked for it or not.
Fat fairy will be playable
>>723962093Already in the PAX demo, unless they change it before release
>>723962030Will Kirby be pissed again in the next box art?
>>723961512Sakurai, most likely.
>>723961512I did ;)
>>723958639>Any last minute calls, hopes, dreams, fears?Single Player Campaign Adventure Mode I guess, but I doubt it, make it like CTR

I just wanted top ride and 50 minutes going over irrelevant details on each stars poly count but new modes is good too
this is so genuinely soulful.nintendo's big kart franchise humbled entirely by one man

>>723967762nigga chill out it was just a joke
I may get that Meta Knight amiibo just for the Shadow Star. 50 bucks is fucking steep though.
>>723967762Because everyone will actually be having fun with the game and you won't be. People have been waiting on this shit for over 20 years. I know I have.
>nova's backoh my fuck
>no adeliene/ribnonMan, Sakurai really does hate humanoids in Kirby comfirmed
>>723968476He said he hadn't revealed all of the riders
NO DLCbased
>>723958639The fact there is no DLC is very reassuring.The fact that some characters have not been shown yet means there is plenty to look forward to.
Only immediate issue is that they didn't grab either of the 64 girls or anyone from Forgotten Land on the roster, least got shown off. Will have to see if they're actually sitting on anything for it or not.Outside that? Really good presentation, though I do wonder somewhat on the Air Ride mode's longevity. Double the tracks, but not sure if it will stack up to other racing games. There was some fun to be had with the mode in the original game, but the assessment that City Trial carried that game is unfortunately very spot-on.
>>723965045>Strong Star Warrior (checker knights theme) is a music trackThat song was in licensing hell for the longest time, so I'm glad Sakurai went through the trouble of getting the rights to it.
>>723968594Yeah, Elfilin seems like an obvious omission, and the game has representation now with the inclusion of Tortuilding.The Road Trip mode reminds me of the mission mode in Meteos, where there's branching paths and multiple different endings. Who remembers the fork ending?
Someone needs to stop Sakurai from wasting his time on meme games.
>voice types a and bHow fucking hard is it to say male and female?
>>723968876Kirby is neither. No balls, no boobs.
>>723968687> the selling point is its a whole ass gamethis should be the standard not the exception
Yeah this is a completely skippable direct. If you weren't already sold by the first one this one does nothing.
>>723968876who fucking cares
>>723961512>>723964195This game is primarily targeted at Japan, where Kirby is also more successful as a franchise. It will likely be a modest success internationally, but do surprise gangbusters there.
Yeah day 1 for me. I didn't think I was gonna buy this because I thought whatever I got MKW but this looks great. I like the garage/lobby too
>>723958771>>723961643welp, you two got blown the fuck out
>>723961643>>723958771kek
>>723968991I was worried that it was going to have an issue with content, but that mostly doesn't seem to be the case.
The madman did it. Looks loaded with content which is pretty normal for his games.
is there a CTR-esque adventure mode yes or no
>>723958639>GOOD-the original ost and the original 9 AR tracks from the original game are here-we get another Sakurai epic story in road trip-My machine, garage and machine market-they are trying to give as most representation as possible via the road trip assists>No DLC.... we are getting a full game right out of the box...(?)>...OK?-the announcers-becoming a gummillionaire>Bad-no humans, so sakurai has bias(tho they can be RT assists)-No DLC... So we aren't getting new characters even.-FORCED DAY ONE UPDATE! this means that even tho the game will be complete 'out of the box', even if the cart is not a game keycard you still won't be able to play the game once the switch family dies, so its NOT A COMPLETE OUT OF THE BOX EXPERIENCE!!!
>>723968991i wasn't sold on the first direct, now i am.
Where are the new legendary machines sakurai
he went all out, just this time.Bit of a shame that he seems to have revealed almost all unlockable content. Is Top Ride in the Stadium Selection this time?
>>723968594he said exactly 'this is the last character preview'there no more characters. and if they are (tho I really doubt it) its not gonna be specials like the girls or anything ground breaking. at most I imagine that dark dedede is the only extra character.
>>723969361Kinda, you'll get those cutscenes and most likely fight the several bosses at certain points.
>>723969494He state not all characters have been shown.Sakurai likes to showcase all his rosters in advance so this is a nice change.
It looks great. I’ve been won over.
>>723969368While I do want to see what's being locked behind the update, it could very well just be online content.
>>723969070They cared enough to change it, apparently
>>723969540You’re very stupid lol
>>723969721They didn't change it, since this game didn't exist before
sakurai saves gaming again. the crazy bastard.>>723966765zero 3
if i wasnt so fucking BROKE i would have bought this day 1
Did we really need 3 kart games all releasing within the same 6 month window?
I can't wait to decorate my license to say "i have an unhealthy obsession with this Kirby character" and then do extremely badly in online races.
>>723969990no, we only needed air ride
You guys see the FMV at the end of the direct? Anyone else feel like the video was cut off early and also that the song should have had lyrics too? I was waiting for the voice to come in. You think the full version is being saved for the story mode?
>>723969612Where did he say not all characters were shown?
Where the FUCK is Itsm Bounce?
>>723970035We still don't know what that edgy blue Dedede was so I'm sure there's more to the story then we saw.
>>723969990unironically yesthis is what competition looks like and as we saw today when there's competition devs actually start trying
>>723969972Give me your Switch friend code and I'll buy you it. Wait, how can I know it's you? How do you do this on 4chan?
>>723970052It's an anime track sadly. Who knows who's holding the rights for that OST. Kind of ironic when you ponder it.
>>723970052Sakurai got the call.
I think now it's a good time to get a switch 2Air Riders looks so fucking kino and prime 4 is coming out soon as well
>>723970112i appreciate it anon! but i don't even have the console sadlyyou enjoy the game in my place :>
Is this gonna btfo sonic racing crossdressers and mario kart snore-ld?
>btfos mario in his own genrehow does the pink puff do it lads?
>>723970035it gave me huge skyfall vibesonly sakurais composers could invoke the feeling of james bond with fucking kirbyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4gdhsVKTcs
It feels strange to sing City Trial's praises for two decades, and then a sequel is announced and I'm just... Not going to buy it. Can a game be fun online anymore? Kid Icarus and Smash multiplayer was ruined by filthy tryhards, Sakurai hasn't got a great track record on that front.
>>723970246The answer is simple:>"poyo poyo poyo poyo"
>>723970229It will never sell as much as Mario Kart, but in terms of critical reception I think there's no contest now
>>723970229I think so. There's more solo content to do that actually gives you stuff and the online has way more personal thing. Plus its not just one racing mode but the silly fun ones too, all ranked.
>>723970195I just got mine a few weeks back in preparation of air riders. I barely touch the dam thing. But air riders is going to be kino.
>>723970246
>>723970040I think it's just a couple story characters, but this statement would be oddly vague if this was the entire roster. Could have just said "these are the final Riders" and left it at that.
>>723970160Nogger, most of the original tracks used anime music and uet they're all in the game. Sakurai has no excuse.
>>723970246turns out not falling for the open world and live service memes was all that it needed to do
>>723970373Play Donkey Kong yet? It's the only hard recommendation I'd give right now.
>first direct shat up the catalog>only this thread about second directIs Air Riders DOA?
>>723970256Its a bit of a stretch but ikinda hear it, kek. wtf
When we saw the stickers in Mario Kart prerelease I was really hoping it would have a full cosmetic Kart customization like Kirby has. Of course they couldn't deliver while Sakurai could. You can make a much better game when you don't blow all of the resources into an awful open world apparently.
>>723970514The other thread hit 700 posts and died
>>723970052SHUT IT DOWN
>>723970514the other threads hit the bump limit and just got archived like two mins ago. there definitely was more activity for the first direct tho but thats because it was our very first look at the game so there was more general interest. a lot of people will have said nah this game isnt for me after seeing the first direct
>>723970195I've had it since launch and played lots of MKW with friends locally, Bananza was awesome and I'm still playing the DLC and even Pokémon Legends ZA is good but it definitely seems like it's hitting its stride now.
>Mario Kart World has a godly OST>Kirby Air Riders has a godly OST>Sonic Crossworlds has horrible screeching lyrics ruining otherwise good songsThe fuck is this, opposite day?
RatoGAWDS how are we feeling?
>>723970401I can imagine it could also be characters like Waddle Dee who have existing models. It's probably like what you said and been tied to Road Trip/Story Mode.
>>723969990Yes, I needed to be fed
>>723970725NOBODY EVEN LIKES SHIT SQUAD, CAN YOU STOP BRINGING HIM BACK
>no remake of the OG city trial map>no second city trial map at alldamn it... it's frustrating to be this close to perfection and then fall short...
>>723970725I’m feelin’, that’s for sure
>>723970804You know, this is a good point.
>>723970035It actually left me angry and wanting more. Like come on, how are you going to cut it off there? I guess that means it is working as intended as an advertisement.
>>723970795Dark Nebula...
>>723970718>t. Doesn't race to survive The lyrics on some tracks are genuinely incredible, but I'll give you some of the early tracks
>>723970804maybe itll come in a post launch update alongside a course builder that use the ns2 mouse mode but i wouldnt hold my breathsakurai said no dlc was planned so unless the game sells surprisingly well im guessing the entire team is moving on to smash or kid icarus and only a skeleton crew will do some small content / bug fix patches for air riders for the next year or two
I just want more real Kirby games
>>723970718Crossworld's OST is fucking criminal, I don't know what the fuck they were thinking with it. How do you fuck up doing remixes of Sonic tracks?
Who /dee/ here? Bandana and Doo-friends also welcome
>>723958771Your fear was false alarm enjoy nigga
>>723970996This is a real ass Kirby game made by the series' original creatorEnjoy it
>>723970996Thats this game, boyo
>>723971017The mixing in game doesn't do the songs justice, if you listen to them on their own they sound great
>>723971107 >>723971183 I have spinoff fatigue...
>>723970804In retrospect and with the return of the 9 Air Ride tracks, it does feel like a missed opportunity. Same with the Top Ride maps, although a lot of them don't accomodate for 8 players. I just really like Light, is all.
>>723971278Star Crossed Worlds came out like two months ago and Kirby Air Riders is clearly superior to the average Kirby spinoff just be patient
>>723970401Yeah there's guaranteed to be more racers like like story guy, the number probably isn't too high though. Also for anyone still in doubt Sakurai loves totaling up atuff and he didn't do that for racers or machines while he did so for Air Ride tracks.
>>723971278Dream Buffet came out 3 years ago... we were due for another spinoff
>>723971287I wonder if they're putting the original on Switch online and Nintendo basically told them to fuck off with remaking the entire original game beyond the Air Ride tracks so that it'd still be worth getting the online expansion for it
02 coming back was a weird one
>>723971278Yo, at least they made an original eShop spinoff after Forgotten Land instead of taking its minigames and expanding them.>tfw no standalone Kirby fishing and marble maze games
>>723970310>Smash multiplayer was ruined by filthy tryhardsDo people genuinely have fun playing FFA items on with random children online? I never understood this autism.
>>72397156002 is coming back yet Ribbon and Adeliene are NOWHERE, why Sakurai hates humans in Kirby?
>>723971278Isn't dream buffet on the level of a phone spinoff?? Didn't play it.
>>723971195No they don’t
I’m not a huge Kirby fan but this game looks incredible - definitely going shell out my shekels for it. I kinda wish every Kirby game was this cool (the last one I played was super star ultra). I’m a huge Kid Icarus fan so I can only hope that we get the same treatment in a few years. Kirbyfags are so lucky.
>Only 43k viewers max in the directAre we cooked against Legends ZA?
>>723968743Probably was deemed worth it for a dedicated sequel like this. Even if it was a decent penny, it would only be a fraction of the budget. Odds are fair it still won't be back in the next Smash whenever that drops. I really wish the music budgeting for that series would leak, since I'm genuinely curious.
>>723969368>no humans>badIncorrect
>>723971560I've been waiting for a Zero return beyond the constant fucking cockteasing like Void Termina and Magolor Soul which while obviously related to Zero and give cool new lore for him are definitely no Zero himself so this is very, very welcome. Hope we can get Zero in the next mainline and wrap up his lore.
>>723971687To each their own but I still love most of the songs in the game, Crystal Mine and Wonder Museum are fucking stellar.
>>723971278how u fatigued about a game you played for 5 minutes 3 years ago nigga
>>723971761I hope they buff this thing.
>>723971560That boss fucking sucks. Why do people even like it.
>>723970052We've already heard it in the public demo already, it's in
>>723971848Cool music.
>>723971761konkon
>>723971707Kirby is genuinely Nintendo's strongest IP, constantly getting new games that are consistently good and in the extremely rare case one isn't [Star Allies] it gets a shitload of free DLC until it is.
>>723971761Cron
>>723971848Cool music/Setting in the red void. His design is sick too, shame gameplay is boring
>>723971761BEHOLD
What are your thoughts on Ishikawa and Ando not doing the music for this game? Shogo Sakai is great and I liked Noriyuki Iwadare’s work on KIU, but the original Kirby composers are important for the series’ sound too
Everything about Air Riders is excellent, EXCEPT:>Freely being able to mix riders, vehicles, and customize both will undermine their visual identity>Only one City Trial map
>>723971883fucking where?
>>723971848He has a sick design
>>723970401it sounded like he showed off the last two riders after saying that. At most I think the final boss guy will be a rider. Even if he didn't show 2-3 riders, that's fucking nothing. Most of the content has clearly been revealed. I'm more interested in machines anyway. I expected or hope that there is a new legendary >>723970804would've made sense to drop all the old stuff including item bounce theme as a dlc. It's weird that he says right from the start that they don't plan to make a dlc and also not to turn this into a continued series. From a price politic standpoint, it would surely be better to release the game at 60 or even just 50 and then drop a decently sized $20 dlc, also for the longevity
>>723971794Those are about the only good tracks, and nearly every 3rd lap track is a complete abortion. If it’s any consolation, Air Riders also has a lame vocal them track. Though I don’t think it has anything as silly as “steal their souls”
>>723971848Great atmosphere, and even then you fight Miracle Matter right before it.
>>723971979Gonna have to remind me who did what. KI:U ost be poppin', but like 5 people each did different songs.
>>723971994Also no online time trials because anti-competitiveautism despite having rankings is lame
>>723971560>implying it's himYou will get your holographic projection and you will like it
>>723971848Everything elseIt's like the Egg Dragoon in Sonic Unleashed where the fight is easy but everything else about it kicks ass
>waaaahh nobody from the Kumazaki or Shimomura games will show up because of Sakurai bias>nukirb characters confirmed >waaaahh no humans are in because of Sakurai biasRosterfags never win, please hang yourselves
Minus no City Trial from the original, I can only make minor nitpicks against the game. It's basically everything I could have wanted, but I do have one mega autistic issue which is I really liked every stat power up having its own sound effect when collected, which is now all just one common sound effect. I understand since we seem to be getting stats at a much higher rate, but I enjoyed the little affect and mental image each unique sound gave.
>>723971995Please don't make me look through a bunch of demo footage again to find that one song.I think it's tied to the "huge items" event now, if that helps.
>>723971994>>Freely being able to mix riders, vehicles, and customize both will undermine their visual identityNo this is the best feature and I will make designs for each star to go with literally every individual character alt color now fuck off
>>723972104true, I forgot to mention that too>>723972202this never even occurred to me as a change, but you're right, I remember the hawk screech the flight patch had
>>723972059In the Space Pirate Ship and Hades’ Infernal Theme were Iwadare’s primary contributions to KIU, he did quite a bit less than I remembered
>>723972025>At most I think the final boss guy will be a rider. Even if he didn't show 2-3 riders, that's fucking nothing. Most of the content has clearly been revealed.Oh yeah, I agree. Unless there's an actual handful left, would be strange to just not show off a couple more Riders early. The biggest two exclusions having reasonable explanations behind them not being here doesn't bode well for more non-story Riders as well.>I'm more interested in machines anyway. I expected or hope that there is a new legendary I'd be shocked if there's not one. The way he reintroduced Dragoon and Hydra did sound like it was going to segway into a third machine, so caught me off-guard when it didn't. Respect if it's being kept a surprise at least.
>>723972278No, see, that's fine, the problem is there's going to be a bunch of assholes online who use any vehicle with any rider using ill fighting skins with no attempt for aeshetic cohesion
>>723972136They're just trying to replicate how he spawned in Kirby 64 by gradually forming he's still the real dealNo vein wings is a disappointment but understandable
>>723971994>posts it in two threadsNo one cares about your dogshit opinions
>>723958639adobros... fairy queen bros...we fucking lost...
>>723972164These are just pedo Adelienefags upset they can't flaunt their fetish in a Kirby game. Wouldn't surprise me if they start another defamation campaign against Sakurai.
>>723971921It definitely seems like Nintendo does a good job of serving it, I just can’t get into the gameplay very much. I played the demo for Robobot a little while back and thought it was neat but that’s about it. Something about the way Kirby controls just doesn’t do it for me, but I’m happy the fans get what they want.Air Riders seems like it has the mechanical complexity and control feedback I enjoy in games so I can see myself sinking a lot of hours into it; Sakurai just seems to “get” game appeal on a very fundamental level.There’s a lot of KIU influence in this game which I’m very happy about (every time I hear a harp in the soundtrack my soul leaves my body for a second). The machines in particular are basically just angel weapons turned into cars. It’s very nice to see Sakurai getting the chance to step away from smash for a bit because I truly believe he does his best work outside of it.
>>723972335well, there's that ? gummy he showed, maybe thats the third legend machine?
>>723971560He was supposed to be the final boss of World Of Light.
>>723972440I dunno, he made little beeping robot sounds in the Direct.It's 02, and he's weird, so it could be either.
>>723972164>>waaaahh no humans are in because of Sakurai biasThis is true however
I'm sorry but Sakurai has lost the plot. Kirby has evolved beyond him with better bosses, better characters, better music, better settings and a better narrative cohesion. Promoting the mushroom and flying face to playable characters while reluctantly throwing a mangy pittance in the form of susie and taranza to the current fanbase is the final insult. They probably had to put him in a headlock to even reference forgotten lands, you know, the best Kirby game currently out there. Get this guy off the franchise.
>>723972361This is true but people that don't care about aesthetics are usually dumb and hence bad at games so you get to experience the catharsis of destroying their vehicles in City Trial and your well designed vehicles succeeding more in the capitalism simulator then their dogshit
>>723972136>>723972440That's very similar to how Miracle Matter can split apart as well.
>>723972136i mean he's fucking dead of course it is
>>723972569absolutely dogshit bait, apply yourself
>>723972304Good songs. No Ch. 21 Chaos Vortex, Lightning Chariot Base or Lightning Battle but not bad.
>>723972037I like the Air Riders vocal song. Maybe not as much as the Smash Ultimate one, but I like it>nearly every 3rd lap track is a complete abortionBlizzard Valley's is so good. I guess I'm biased because I've put over 100 hours into CrossWorlds already and adore the game as a whole, but I just think the music is good and don't mind the vocals on lap 3 since it helps give this game some identity and when it sounds good it sounds incredible, like Aqua Forest which is easily top 5 songs in the game. But it definitely could have been handled better and maybe wasn't worth the risk since it's more divisive than they expected.
>>723972164I mean, it's known that Sakurai doesn't like humans in Kirby. He's barred them from appearing in the anime, for instance.Not that I care much either way, just that this thing has some precedence and not just a made-up rule.
>>723958639MAKE NEW VIDEO GAMES
>>723972540sauce on this?
>>723971979ishikawa is overrated, ando is the goat and i miss him not being here.
>>723972498>Something about the way Kirby controls just doesn’t do it for meThe newer games have slower movement bit I highly recommend giving Kirby Super Star, specifically the SNES version, a try. When you get used to the double tap for sprintinng it plays like a fucking dream and you move super smoothly and swiftly. It's also just the best game in the series
>>723972569Basically the only jarring exclusions here are Adeleine, Ribbon, and Elfilin. Their games are still referenced as well, even if Forgotten Land is a bit lacking in that regard.I love characters like Max, but he's not that popular.
>>723972718and yeah, it is annoying as hell.im sure he has a good reason, but people was expecting for at least Addie and Ribbon to be playable. they might be assists, but its not the same thing.Game dev is hard, no one can deny it, but Sakurai blueballing people like that because of his own bias is fucking annoying.
>>723970795doesn't matter, he's hot
>>723971979Shogo Sakai is awesome but no classic Kirby composing duo seems like such a missed opportunityEspecially Jun Ishikawa, dude is the GOAThttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-mN9tyJNTsI imagine it's because Sakai and Iwadare are freelancers and Ando/Ishikawa are HAL employees, that might cause issues
We know Sakurai hates humans in Kirby but he extends this hatred to the fairies? They aren't human.
>>723972823I had Super Star Ultra on my DS as a kid and remember liking it a lot, is there anything that significantly differentiates it from the original gameplay wise (positively or negatively)?
>>723972718>>723972908>I mean, it's known that Sakurai doesn't like humans in Kirby. He's barred them from appearing in the anime, for instance.That's actually literally the only time he's ever said anything about humans in Kirby, and that was specifically about the anime and nothing else.Stop with this meme.
>>723972540>Sauce? i made it the fuck up
The roster isn't fully announced Adeleine is probably in but she'll have her Kirby 3 design and actually be Ado
Sad that there's no Keke but it's understandable, everything else in the game looks great at least.
>>723972924They're human-reminiscent. I imagine he wants to keep the series totally abstract and separate from distinct real-world iconography or mythology. Which is based.
I love that Rick is in, hoping Nago makes it as well
>>723973027theming or not, they are popular characters, and its not based to exclude them for personal reasons.
>>723972938There's less content but the movement feels way better and the visual style is kino, also obviously tv speakers are better then DS onesUltra's a damn good time though
>>723972924>>723973027see >>723972987also this guy has existed since the second fucking game, and only looks more human with every appearance
>>723973102It is based. Art isn't a democracy, it's a dictatorship.
>Air Ride Machine are at least partially sapientWhich air ride would you fug?
>>723958639You promised a World Trade Center stage /v/!
>>723973278I'd need to hear all the voices first. Whichever one has the sexiest moans when I die
>>723973278I'd melt my cock on Jet Star's exhaust
>>723973123I’ll give it a shot then, thanks for the recommendation
>>723972656>Ch. 21 Chaos Vortex>Lightning BattleMotoi Sakuraba>Lightning Chariot Base Masafumi Takada
>>723972907I would trade every generic enemy for Hyness.
>>723973278>you can blow them up and they unleash ghoulish shreeks upon deathClassic Kirby with the edgy undertones, wouldn't be the same without them
>>723972987Adeleine's probably the most jarring exclusion at this point whether you love the character or not, and she was also notably missing as a Spirit in Ultimate despite a lot of other notable supporting Kirby cast getting referenced with them. Even if he's only said it once, you can easily infer that's how he feels. The game's story also seems isolated from any of the implications of humans being major players in the past, but that really doesn't matter much.>>723973129I'm pretty sure humanoids are fine. Tiff and Tuff were added to the anime after all off in direct relation to that one quote. The problem with Adeleine is that her whole deal is being a human girl, or at least being presented as such.
>>723973278Foreplay with Hydra for 9 seconds before she completely fucking obliterates my body with her rideussy
I didn’t think it was possible for a modern AAA release to have this much unfiltered soul pouring out of it.I wish we could have Sakurai forever.
We're gonna see this fuck in 4K by the way
>>723973428That one dude keeps posting images with the Mage Sisters but this would be the real based inclusion
>>723973291That's where the Item Bounce stage theme is
>>723972921>Ando/Ishikawa are HAL employeesIshikawa isn’t with HAL anymore and he composed for the original Air Ride, so it’s weird Sakurai didn’t bring him on
>>723972569The series got too pro catholic for a Japanese man not making an RPG.
>>723973397You're welcome, hope you enjoy it
>>723973639Not at the time of Air Riders began development it seems which was in 2022~ or so
>>723973593kek
>>723972559>Source: It came to me in a dream.
>>723973581This guy needs to have a son already and make him his heir
>>723972907Remember this isn't full roster. Just that these are all the riders they're showing.I hope Adeline fans get what they wanted. I got my nigga Daroach so they deserve to get theirs too.
anyone have a version of starlit journey without it being a nightcore, ai, or siivagunner rip?
>>723958639This game will be dead in the ater regardless of quality literally just because mario kart exists...thats it.
Hmm, Blizzard Valley is actually really good. Not impressed with the rest of the OST however.
>>723973683I really like how at the end of the vid Kirby actually takes the waddle nuns to their Church.
what are the chances nintendo makes ACTUAL bags of air ride machine gummies
Anyone got a pic of the rides in Free Roam to see if there's any empty spots
>>723973773I just want Zero as a secret character if Zero 2 gets to be a boss fight
>>723973835If it does happen they’ll be Japanese exclusive and only sold in Nintendo stores/the Kirby cafe
>>723973581The only dev I'll gaf when he dies.And only because he puts himself in the spotlight. Countless devs I don't even know the names of changed my life.
>>723973835They will, but only in Japan.
>>723973874There was at least one I spotted lol, there was also that weird "?" stage and star
>>723971560>>723972136Appearing in a spin-off is the best-case for 02. It would defeat the purpose and retroactively hurt his character if they decided to bring him and Dark Matter back. (Dark Nebula sucks balls and I refuse to accept it as a Dark Matter. I didn't care for the Dark Matter clone in Robobot but it's also noncanon so eh)
>Adelienefags are now starting to force a meme conspiracy that Sakurai hates humans in Kirby.>Only points to the anime guidelines are evidence like as if that means fuckall for the games.I'd want for him to direct the next mainline Kirby and fill it with humans to prove you wrong yet again but then that'd be appeasing you scum.
>>723973875>I just want Zero as a secret character if Zero 2 gets to be a boss fightHe's too big unless you just do his core, which wouldn't feel right. Could have done it if the game took a different, way more liberal approach with adding riders somewhat akin to what Mario Kart World did with the NPC drivers. Dark Matter would be cool at least if he doesn't overlap the new villain too much.
>>723973875I mean we basically have seen Dark Matter Swordsman already, I'd be surprised if we got Zero or Dark Matter as riders because Gooey doing Mock Dark Matter
>>723973991How do you feel about Void since he's clearly a "Base" form that can become Dark Matter or Zero? What about the weird Zero/Dark Mafter giving the Master Crown sentience?
>>723974047Nightmare is about as human as it gets, and he's confirmed.
>>723973027>human-reminiscentSuper Star's stone sculptures have a muscular man, Mario, and Samus. And you can clearly see Mario and Luigi in Megaton Punch's audience.
>>723973683That bus should have been in the game.
>>723974047You seem to be getting more pissy about this than a lot bringing up Adeleine's absence. You're also ignoring other points like her just not being referenced in Smash unlike a lot of other supporting characters.
>>723974103We're getting waddle dee and bandana as separate characters so I can see Dark Matter+the villain happening
>>723973991acknowledge Dark Crafter, the one who drained the life out of Kirby
>>723974165Well, Adeleine and Ribbon nonetheless aren't in the game, so maybe Sakurai just hates bitches.
How out of it is Sakurai that he thinks Kirby characters don't have voices? Pikachu voices Kirby. He himself voices Dedede.
>>723973027I do like how alien/abstract the course and machine designs are. It's one of my favorite parts of Kirby's series as a whole.That being said, having just one human character wouldn't hurt.
>>723974350He did pretty much show you he meant stuff like the mushroom and things
>>723974165There's a clear degree of separation there. Mario and Luigi don't interact with the cast directly, and you could easily just replace them with Kirby audience members. The statue is mainly a visual gag without any bearing to actual characters.Even then, this was mainly just one specific game Sakurai directed where he did this. It seemed more like him being cheeky than anything.
>>723972907Marx is definitely popular if he started the trend of people distrusting Kirby allies that even people memed Elfilin was going to betray Kirby. And Marx isn't nowhere near present enough to warrant that
>>723974256There's enough space for maybe two more surprise characters. Ribbon could be an unlockable hat you get for killing Zero Two. We definitely haven't seen all those story mode assists either.
>gummies>you can look at it>you can play with itWho the fuck asked for this
>>723973428Hyness has been my personal pick from Star Allies, even before Lololo and Lalala used the obvious gimmick for the Mage Sisters if they weren't just costumes of each other.
>>723974121>>723974197Wasn't it the opposite way in Japanese, or something? Or more "Void can become like Kirby or Dark Matter", and not that it literally is that. It's an interesting idea.My general stance is that Dark Matter's story is done. We already know its lore (Hive Mind that found Pop Star with a rogue element and Gooey, Kirby tries to teach the hivemind head emotion and it backfires horribly) and it doesn't need more tacked onto it, and it certainly doesn't need to be brought back. An 03 would be silly and undermine the atmosphere of the 02 fight. If we got cut scenes like we get in Modern Kirby games, where Dark Matter started narrating exposition about how it's lonely, I think people would really dislike it.
>>723972907You say that when most of the people who get college degrees are hardcore Marxists these days to the point that democracy is basically dead in most of the world.
>>723974614that's the beauty of it, it's some side thing no one asked but is fun to have
>>723974483Huh, I thought Max was the name of the lion boss. Apparently his name is... Leongar? Fuck I do not remember this game very well. Except Sillydillo, that guy fucks
>>723970401So Adeleine and Ribbon still have a chance, right?>>723971761Cornography.
>>723974483I meant President Haltmann, not Marx. No denying Marx is very popular, but he's also in now.
>>723962314She was robbed
>>723958639I hope there’s enough air to go around for all the riders. Not too big on competition, personally…
>>723971761i like corm
>>723974614Sakurai asked for this. That's all that's needed.
>>723974641doesn't that contradict the first game with them since the Dark Matter that showed up in that wanted friends meaning he did indeed have emotions
Okay, how many anons actually remember his real name?
>>723970725weird seeing him with fur render
Lolo alone made the Direct for me. Love the NES Lolo games and seeing them again just makes me so happy.
>>723974641Abort the fetus before it can make a choice!
Airtopia Ruins sounds like it was made for a dramatic JRPG cutscene lolAnyone else listening to the OST?
nigger doowaddle piss
>>723974962Big Money Haltman
>>723974908Dark Matter from DL2 might have had emotions but didn't grasp them fully. It was similar to Gooey in that in somehow split off from the main Dark Matter. 0 itself didn't have emotions and couldn't comprehend them which is why the Love-love Stick damages it so much.
today we will be playing as Susie and nothing but Susie
>>723975057I'm very weirded out by it. Like here's Solomon from solomon's key>>723974962'Gas the savages' Haltmann
>>723974614fr why couldn't i feed it to a character or something idk like some fruit snacks (not that it would do anything but it would be nice)
I was already sold but the customization is gonna fucking kill me. It's pretty absurd seeing Mario Kart only let you have a sticker next to your name while Kirby gives you free reign to make your cart a giant neon dildo if you want.
>>723974614>>723974680I really wanted it to unlock a rideable gummy version of the machine when you collect enough.
>>723975224>Kris where the FUCK are we
>>723975057I hope you saved the receipt!
>>723975143why is the credits scene ????
>>723975329Can't wait to make a decal swastika
>>723974739Oh yeah his name is MAX President Haltmann. Sorry dude, I mistook that for a mispelling of Marx. but yeah, in reference to him Ado and Ribbon would eclipse him in popularity despite being a main antagonist.
>>723974614They're essentially the bodies of your victims you smack around.
>>723975329>>723975410Anon the primary audience for this game will be little girls. You'd better be respectful or Nintendo WILL remotely brick your systems.
Guys... Where is Item Bounce? NoA isn't gonna make Sakurai axe it, are they?
>>723974962max haltmillion dollars
>>723968594I wanted Bugzzy. Am i cooked?
>>723975224>’Why waste the time?’
>>723974962Max Profitt Haltmann, or Gaines Income Haltmann, depending on your region.
>>723974614>anon doesn't want to be a gummillionaireYou're gonna feel real stupid when I have all the gummies and you've got NOTHIN
>>723975504Listen closely to the background in the gamexplain demo video at around 9 minutes
What's she up to, anyway?
>>723975504Don't worry, you could hear it in the demo footagee. All the other anime originated music is also returning.
>>723975057shoulda stayed as Stage Hazards
Serious question, do you guys think that if more OG directors (Yoshiaki Koizumi for example) were still directing games like Sakurai does instead of having become producers/supervisors, we would have more game with soul like this one? Nu Nintendo directors don't seem to have it anymore.
>>723975504They already presented it in the demo footage. It was really weird, while it was playing all the gameplay footage suddenly faded out as Sakurai just stared at the camera for 15 seconds, repeating "you know what to do" 4-5 times in perfect english.
>>723975726Being replaced by AI
One City Trial map only will remain the sole black stain on this game. Could have at least remade the original.
Bros I want the new amiibos but they’re so pricey….
>>723975504>>723970052>>723970160>>723971995Alright, fuck, here it is.https://youtu.be/XNy_sggRPCw?t=1140It's hard to hear under the event noise, but it's there.
Two Blank Spots.One near the other two legendary rides, one closer to the front.Perhaps one will be your Custom Stars?
>>723975762A lot of Nintendo directors (and directors in general in media nowadays) are no-name salarymen or employees who tow the company line. The executives or internal design teams or whatever design the games and the director follows them rather than the director calling all the shotsSakurai has earned enough street cred to have total authority over his games and doesn't get a salary during the development
Didn't he say he recorded the direct right after finishing his youtube channel?That was a year ago wasn't it? The next Smash might be more advanced than we think
I'm watching the direct now and holy shit it's like he set out to mog Mario Kart World.>Literally has a mode called Road Trip
>>723976101It's just a job to them. What few interviews I've scrounged up over the decades with the rank and file developers have them saying they don't feel like they're making anything special, and get very surprised when people adore them for their work many years later.
I hope the road trips are personalized. Love to see random bits of character lore for each one.
>>723976110the youtube show actually took a month to record
>>723975726Checking out Grandma Niechel's old vinyls
>Sakurai says the appeal of Air Ride wasn't the races>Says City Trial is the main event>Said he knew fans were waiting for it>We only have a single City Trial map that doesn't even look bigger then the original, and the stadium mechanics now don't crown a single winnerIs anybody else baffled by this? He clearly knows what people's favorite mode is yet the scope and content quantity of the mode isn't expanded at all outside of player count, which if anything feels like it might be hurting more then it helpsMaybe he just thought "don't fix what ain't broke"?
>>723976172Except its not an openworld game.From what i gather here, the idea is a REALLY extended version of smash 3ds classic mode. Where you choose your stages from a path leading to a boss. But i feel theres something missing here.How long is that gonna be? Or how secrets are gonna work?
>>723976371Doesn't this one have a ton of underground paths though?
>>723972202my nitpick is, it seems to be way easier to collect upgrades now, making them more quantitive. It would be better if the game rewards you focusing on a build and not just collect everything. We barely seen any downgrades, they seem to be quite rare as well.>>723974350they have voices, but nobody wants to see Kirby casually speaking spanish
>>723976094Well, a mystery vehicle was shown off as a gummy, and we saw what appears to be another Wheelie type vehicle in the loading screen of the twitter course playthroughs that he didn't show off here, unless that was the transforming one
>>723976436>Except its not an openworld game.MKW is neither open world, nor did anyone ever want an open world MK.>But look anon there's all this empty space with nothing in it between the courses!Wow dude. The literal only reason to make this game is to try and dunk on MKW, especially when it could've just been a new Smash that would be guaranteed sales.
>>723976478Someone should compare the transform star emblem to that of the twitter.
Wh-Where is Shadoo? Sh-She's a skin at the very least, r-right?
>>723976440So did the original, if anything I feel like the original had more and is slightly bigger above ground tooMaybe it's just that the driving speed in Riders is faster, and the map is bigger and more spread out to compensate, so it is "bigger" without actually having more points of interest or taking longer to drive across, but if so then it may as well not even really be bigger anyways
>>723976274I do agree it is a shame but that's how the industry is. Can't have auteurs doing whatever the fuck they want, that's risky, and companies hate risk. >Here's the new entry in the Brand(TM) game. Why do you care about the people who make it? They're just a team we got to make new entries in the Brand(TM) series. That original team, oh they don't matter, anyone can make Brand(TM) games. You wanted something original? Something that isn't sanitary and squeaky clean to present to the masses? That's too unsafe and unmarketable. Our charts show that...Sakurai lucked out because he's made Nintendo so much dough.
>>723958639tendies will look at this and she tears of joy
>>723976582>dunk on a game in development at the same timeyou have brain damage
>>723976586>So... How high can you jump?
>>723976586He's so cool...
Right now the kart racer rankings are:>Sonic Racing Crossworlds>Kirby Air Riders>Mario Kart World>Garfield Kart 2Go ahead, fite me brah!
>>723976739>Make a racing game that will directly compete with the Switch 2's flagship gameSakurai is the one with brain damage unless he really think he can do a better job.
>>723976846Diddy Kong Racing still the best.
what did Sakurai mean by this Wheelie
>>723976846Sonicfags are desperate for attention, it’s sad. Here’s a pity (you)
>>723973581Lol but when yoship said the exact same thing about ff16 you fags gave him shit for it
>>723976478I missed it watching the Direct Live.Can't tell if it'll be a standard ride or a new legendary, probably the latter. I don't think we will have anymore wheelies as they are all grouped in the garage.
>>723976964it's for bad bitches with shitty tattoos and daddy issues
>>723976978social media is rife of them (as usual) trying to ride the coattails of kirby, usually with "oh mario kart got beaten up by sonic, now kirby kills it" style of posting
>>723976860KARs hasnt come out yet, and you can easily see Sakurai DID a better job than the MKW team. And that is considering how great the MKW ost is and how both games have serious bias issues in their roster (MK doesnt allow spinoff characters and doesnt even use mainline ones, and KARs being against the two main human characters that are popular).
>>723977070Twinbee crossover?
>>723977031This is like comparing apples to oranges, except neither thing are the same category, and the only fruit here is you
EL RATO
>>723975329I feel like Sakurai specifying there's no paid DLC and giving a special mention to how you can play every mode online and how it took a lot of work was just to give a big fuck you to the Mario Kart devs.
>>723977093Never got that. They're always doing something clever and unique with Whispy Woods.
why is eric triggered by the concept of multiple games in a single genreanyway what is metaknight thinking right now
>>723977093Why people are so insistant on defending a bad game?MKW IS a bad game. And its not getting updates either.
He's HERE.
>>723972202>>723972286Fix your deaf ears.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtkHiB7WKf4&t=1481s
>>723977362no you sonicfag, it's your kind trying to always to feed on your hubris. note it's not even me defending mario but shitting on your game
>>723977386hey motherfucker
>>723977386>No Coo the Owl.Sad. He had the better theme song.
>>723976371I know the map is larger than the original city trial, but it does feel like a missed opportunity. I'd sacrifice top ride for another map. Was he afraid that the two maps wouldn't have the same level of quality? I'm sure he likely considered making another one. He may have stuck with only one to make it THE map, all attention can be channeled into one map, making it more memorable
>>723976371>the stadium mechanics now don't crown a single winnerI really hope there is a matchmaking option for 8 player City Trial and all players into one final stadium match, because this part bothers me too with the game having to split 16 players.Its just odd to not compete against everyone you were just playing with. Yeah you can have a better chance at winning but you'll never know if you could have beat everyone in the lobby.
>>723977345I LOVE false equivalences!
based fashion icon
Sorry, it's just hard to return to mid after we just got PEAK. I'll give it a fair pirate once they invent Switch 2 emulators.>>723977386Yay. The worst one. Chu-Chu never.
>>723976371The new events and items look good and the team mode is going to be an eSport
>>723977582Hopefully we get the sailor hat so at least Sailor Dee is playable too.
I hope there's a jester hat so I can make a fake Beam Kirby. I don't know why but I find it far cuter than any other form of his by far.
>>723977386
>>723977348jelly donuts on the mind
>>723976281So how old in this presentation then?
oh, didn't realize he has a webbed cape now
God he's ugly
I better not see any inappropriate vehicle designs in those /v/ lobbies
>>723976964would
>>723976727Holy shit I just remembered these fucks have their own damn game series that fucking predates Kirbyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOPm20GsulIKirby is a fucking spinoff holy shit, this is like Rabbids replacing Rayman
>>723977868Did his stinger always look so...nubby?Was it always like that?
>adeleine is literally not even a sticker in smashOkay the adofags might be onto something
I'm kind of surprised he didn't add in paint roller. Maybe he'll be a boss?
>>723976085based, Sakurai is officially the best
>>723978020it only looked sharp due to polygons
>>723977868It was always webbed on the outside, just not on the inside.
>>723977974It’s canonically a different character.
>>723977868Why does he have a suction cup on his ass
>>723978097I wonder if its an erogenous zone
If no Ado I hope at least the fairy, Kirby 64 was my first one and I loved everything about it.
>>723976472It's kinda sad in a way that he just can't escape the sins of his past
>>723978124Yeah and Mario's a different character then Jumpman wink wink
>>723977868Grapple/web slinging mechanics are based and every game should have them desu
>>723967994You are correct, I will be having fun playing literally anything else
>>723976371glass half empty ass bitch
>>723978227The first rule of xenophile porn: if it's a bodypart humans don't have, it's an erogenous zone
>>723977868Y'know, for a guy we never even fight who gets cucked to death he sure is making a lot of cameo apperances. What, is Sectonia too booby?
>>723977495Maybe he doesn't think a big empty map with nothing to do is fun.
most western nintendo communities seem very apathetic towards the game. are the nips hyped?
>>723978272She will be sitting with Elline as a Road Trip collectable
>>723978474Sectonia's too dead. That's like Taranza's entire bit.
>>723978474Her death deeply affects Taranza's character. Can't just bring her back because you feel like it.
>>723978569I think a lot of people are still in denial over how mediocre MKW was for the price they paid.
>>723978569Kirby Air Riders is genuinely just an extremely specific type of game made for an exact audience in mind, and the vast majority of people on these sites now are quite literally too young to have experienced the GameCube when it was current, so there's a chance most of them hadn't even heard of the original
>no dlcAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAROSTERFAGS BTFO
>>723978569I dunno I look at my timeline and I see a lot of english speaking posters gushing about the game
>>723978286>this absolute specimen was stuck in two DS games for a decadewhat a crime
>>723978835I tried playing the first one on steam deck with family to see how it was a few months ago and fucking loved it so I'm pre ordering this the moment I can if Sakurai believes in pre orders.
>>723978569>are the nips hyped?You do not understand how fucking massive Kirby is in Japan. this answer is yes
>>723978857>Tfw main securedGenuinely feels so fucking good
>>723978835>Kirby Air Riders is genuinely just an extremely specific type of game made for an exact audience in mindAbsolutely baffling comment. People can enjoy anything of any genre as long as it's fun. If KAR is fun people will play it.>uhhh no one was specifically asking for a third person shooter with guns that shoot ink though???
>>723975224Fuck you, this is a Marx household.Magolor is welcome as well
borb
>>723978569>ost western nintendo communities seem very apathetic towards the gameit'll be fun to point and laugh at them when the game comes out
>>723975362there is a powerup that lets her become a giantess
>>723978835>Kirby Air Riders is genuinely just an extremely specific type of gameI think it'll be widely loved there's five different modes depending on what you like that are all very unique>Air Ride>City Trial>Top Ride>Road Trip>Stadium
*dreams of destroying popstar*
Do you think some people will just roleplay in the paddock and garages?
>>723979215And one that lets you shrink down to the size of a doll. What if it never wore off and she took you home in her purse and put you in a drawer haha
>>723978857No DLC is a shame but rosterfags are a blight on any game they touch so this works out nicely
>>723979049You forgot about the fact that there's a group of people that genuinely just fucking hate Kirby and cry about every new game he gets
>>723979036>You do not understand how fucking massive Kirby is in Japan.As a massive Kirbyfag, I don't think I'd survive a trip to Japan. Besides, at first I'd prioritize finding the first four Starfy games if I could help it.
>>723979189anon stop responding to your own posts and actually just search kirby in said "communities". you'll find people masturbating to this direct.
>>723979316I used to do cringe shit like that in the original city trial since nobody wanted to play babygames with me.
>>723979361And are these people in the room with us right now?
>>723979468Underdeveloped frontal lobe post
>>723978569The JP 2nd Direct has over a million views already
>>723979421Why didn't you just play online?
>>723978857>No roster slot shitflinging for years to comeThat’s good
>>723978569People are unironically butthurt they paid for Mario Kart over this
>>723978857>>723979345Let me guess, you were one of the fags that preemptively celebrated the lack of Shimomura and Kumazaki characters right before the last direct aired. Rosterchads won.
>>723969138I suspect it will do overwhelmingly good in the west as well just because it looks like the only fucking good Switch 2 game and probably even game of the year.
>>723978569Everything I've seen has been glowing reception, especially after the presentation. Some are even going so far as to say it's the only kart racer that's actually worth $70 based on what they've seen. In the YouTube chat on the US stream most people were joking that they should raise the price, lmao.
if you're not a HENSHIN star god dont even talk to methe machine that separates the boys from the poyos
>>723979808yeah, that fag is making things up. everyone is hyped on this game.
>>723979773Bananza was good, Hyrule Warriors looks good
>>723979773It should win GOTY, I have some hope after Astro Bot won over all the fucking JRPGslop last year
>>723979548>I saw a post on the internet that said a thing and I care deeply about itThis is you.
>>723976727I did, I love Dream Land 1.
>No DLC we decided we'd make a full game right from the startUnfathomably based
>>723958639Holy fuck, I was thinking of maybe holding off until I had more free money, but I NEED this NOW, so I guess I'll be pulling $570 out of my savings to play this on release.
>>723971761
>>723979917I genuinely can't even remember what came out this yearUnfortunately I have a feeling normie slop will win because Geoff lets people buy out awards
>the monkey's paw curls
>>723980090The more practical reason is Sakurai didn't want to be stuck on the project any longer than he had to, and DLC and updates would drastically increase the dev time. It's less that he's against GAAS, and more that he literally does not have the time left in him to manage one
adeline and ribbon are obviously the reward for beating 02 in the boss mode
>>723976964those keys, fitting for the audience>>723979361we have ritual posters for everything now. The new HOMM has one and the game isn't even out yet. Is it really so desirable to become the next Barry?>>723962093can't hear shit and I didn't see any bouncing items either
>the fucking bulk star of all things has the best timesakurai claimed he didn't change any of the machine stats from the original air ride, but i call bullshit
>>723980656Why the fuck would you grown ass men be asking so badly to play as some fucking baby girlsUnironically embarrassing, they’re not even cool characters
>>723980756Just become a better air rider™
>>723980826nobody would care if you were dead
>>723980756>swerve star nerfed to be reasonableKMS
did anyone take any new sakurai screenshots
>>723981165
>>723981236Reminder that Sakurai can literally play against himself in Smash with a controller in each hand
>>723981165tfw both Directs
>>723980756When did he say that?We know top speeds were boosted from the original Air Ride
I'm about to finish the presentation. The game looks insanely fun and full of soul and content. I'll definitely get it if I ever get a SW2. Hope you guys enjoy it. It saddens me the amount of people who ignore this guy's games just because they aren't smash. It's impossible to watch this direct and not be blown away by the attention to detail put to everything.
>>723978474Give him a break, his girl got MIRROR'D. He's trying to live his best life now.
>>723981236His left hand's location...what did he mean by this tho?
>>723962503they clearly stopped doing it. Western design looks way better starting with the weird neon pink>>723981236now people without friends can't complain anymore that they can only play this game 1P
>>723958639>added literally every single thing from the previous game>no DLC ever confirmedSakurai really said "never ask me for anything ever again". And yet I feel people will find something to nitpick
Gotta be honest the 2nd presentation is a lot more exciting than the first one. The first one was just too normal
>>723976846Crossworlds isnt even better than the last Sonic racing game
so wait, Waddle Dee and Bandana Dee arent the same person?
>>723981236Perfect reaction image for coomer games.
>>723978857do people really want to play 110 dollars for a game?
>>723982218Nope, one if your friend, the other is cannon fodder
>>723982218Bandana Dee is a specific paticular Waddle Dee.Waddle Dees as a whole are a species like Goombas
>>723982218no? one has a bandana and a spear, the other doesn't
>>723982218I bet you think Wheelie and Grand Wheelie are the same person too, you fucking casual.
>>723981236great image
>>723982271Remember that a huge % of the userbase here were kids during the 360 era, so dont remember a time when there wasnt some sort of DLC in games. Its why games that arent talked about constantly and played and streamed constantly after people beat them are called "dead games"
>>723982218It's a Toad and Yoshi situation. Waddle Dee is a species, Bandana is a specific member of that species.
>>723978857>the industry got jew'd so hard that it's newsworthy a game comes complete right out of the boxI'm tired boss.
>>723968369Is it the same Galactic Nova as Super Star, or a 3rd Clockwork star?
Sakurai is paying so much respect to the Kirby series as a whole, so realistically what are his chances of getting in the game?
>>723982218Wait until you find out nerd Dee
>>723982365how am I supposed to enjoy a game if nostril lad and the roach king aren’t making funny noises in front of it
>>723980756>all that shilling for the transform star for it to be that slowbros…
remember to buy the game digitally before launch so you can use this exclusive hat in the later sessions of the test ride eventalso more details about that here: https://www.nintendo.com/jp/topics/article/e33383d5-1c52-417f-8318-5f25ea65581dto summarize>air ride and city trial are the only modes you can play>there'll be a driver's school to learn bow to play that'll be accessible outside of the test times>you'll have three choices for air ride courses and it can also be played offline>the paddock will also be available, but limited to 16 players rather than the 32 in the full release>accessibility options will also be available
>>723982735It wouldn't be the same if they didn't bring back his voice actor
>>723982218waddle dee is the racebandana is just their top guy
>>723978857"Not planning DLC" doesn't necessarily mean "there won't be DLC"
>>723982931as Sakurai mentioned its time trials, some machines are going to be better for certain stages and lap times dont mean shit in actual racing modes
>>723958639I can't believe we'll get amiibo for the whole roster even though they're 50 each.
>>723983000I don't want to preorder digitally :(
>>723969990The fact that not Sonic dunked on MKW’s free roam but also Kirby??
>>723982931>implying I give a shit about time trial autism when I can look cool
>>723983000Given that with a preorder you don’t pay until a week before launch, realistically I could just “preorder” to have the hat available and cancel it once its over
>>723983001What if Sakurai voices him?
>>723983216It's called road trip, but it isn't free roam anon.
>>723983262anon the second demo is less than a week before launch
Kinebros? Coosisters? Do we still have a shot?
>>723958639I'm just glad we got a Sakurai game that wasn't smash before He retires.I still would like to see Uprising remastered for the Switch 2 though.
>>723983123then no cool hat for you until the full game
>>723983541Same, he seems a bit stubborn about not doing it though.
>>723977582I'm gonna put the sunglasses on waddle doo, because it's hilarious that you can do that.
>>723983401Huh, for some reason it slotted in my mind as happening early november…
>>723983751>he seems a bit stubborn about not doing it though.He said on his youtube channel that He would love to do it but finding a team would be hard
>>723983530>KineLiterally dead in the water, pic related.>CooHas not been seen at all in the game so far, as far as I'm aware. That would be kinda bullshit to have only 2 of 3 animal friends appear in the game in some form.
>>723983216>It's elaborate menu for the Smash classic mode likemaybe look up what this is before trying to shitpost.
>>723983000>temporary pre order bonus that you lose at full launch???????????????????????????WHY?
Sakurai is a fucking god. This game looks 50 times better than Mario Shart World
>>723983000>FOMO demo-only cosmeticswhat the fuck
>>723984612>machine translationIt just lets you use hats in the demo, there aren't any exclusive ones
>>723984532>>723984612It’s not a unique cosmetic. It’s just access to something you’ll have in the full game. Quit freaking out over nothing
>>723984612Sounds to me like it's just to unlock a few hats earlier, not that they are exclusive
>>723980756>>723976094>room for one more new star on the time records>two empty spots in the parking lot>one normal, one next to the special starsIt looks like there's probably one new legendary machine, and then one extra normal car they're not showing for some reason?
>>723984798I'm not complaining I'm just saying it makes no sense lol quit trying to get in retarded arguments
>>723984954>trying to get in retarded argumentsI was just explaining it, since your hyperbolic reaction to something of no consequence made it seem like you didn’t understand it, stupid
>>723985337>your hyperbolic reaction to something of no consequence made it seem like you didn’t understand it, stupidI just posted a bunch of questions marks and the word why okay goofy ass nigga
>>723982735Zilch
