>>724049730They didn't retain the first game's city map though.
>>724046967Star customization was definitely not on my bingo board, but the freedom you seem to have with it and that there's a whole player market for customized rides is unfathomably based. I like it in Crossworlds but the no decal stacking limits your options by a lot, especially on boardsI'm sitting my ass on a winged star but I have no idea about Kirby characters, I'll probably play Kirby and Marx with some of the rock, hamster, and tarantula lady

>>724046967>Mario Kart World doesn't let you customize your karts at all even though stickers are its only real collectableIt's crazy that they put a million stickers in the game, but you can barely see it next to your name or even on your kart. Like what's even the point
>724047274Not even worth a (You). Go back to playing your shitty dying Sonic racer.
>>724047274MKW has tracks? I thought it just had highways!
The game looks fantastic. But given everything that's in it, City Trial only getting one stage feels a bit odd. There's clearly a third legendary machine (which is fine, any more would be too much and 3 lets them be properly distinct), and I wouldn't be surprised if the original City Trial was added as a secret, but it just seems odd since it doesn't seem that big.
>>724046967why does Sakurai do that? It's just like Kid Icarus, I didn't give a shit about Air ride but after that direct it looks so fun.
Are you gonna be a gummilionaire, anon?
>>724056535I've seen a lot of confusion about this gummy feature. Basically, if you've played Smash, this is the tag system. Only difference is that they aren't sellable and you can do goofy physics stuff with it instead.BTW, for non-devs here wondering why this is even in the game over other things that could have used more dev time, this was almost certainly a physics test they did in the updated Sora-BamCo engine and just decided to make it more presentable and throw it in the final game as a funny little thing.Indie games do this all the time and you can always tell. It's rarer for big titles to do this though.
>>724047274The issue isn't that MKW only has 30 levels, it's that it has 30 levels compared to the fucking 200 or so shitass transition stages that are counted as their own course online
>>724046967Why even bother when it's gonna get reworked the second the first /pol/ incel edgelord stacks decals to make a swastika?
>>724056876Makes sense. It certainly just seemed like a "eh throw it in there" kind of feature which I can't complain aboutSakurai is autistic but it comes with its upsides
>>724047274Terrible bait. But just in case anyone actually believes this, here's why 18 stages is good:1. Kirby has much more content outside of Air Ride itself. There's Top Ride, City Trial, Road Trip, dozens of copy abilities, dozens of power-ups, hundreds of cosmetics, online that actually works, dozens of options in every mode that let's you play the game exactly how you want. If 18 stages is less than Mario Kart, that's because it's put to the side of all this.2. Mario Kart's tracks are shit and worse than MK8 on aggregate. Plus there's the whole transition track thing and absolutely nothing worthwhile to do in the open world to boot. If there's a lot of tracks in Mario Kart then you could flip what I've just said for Kirby - it's quantity over quality and there's nothing "to the side" of these tracks that offers any substantial fun. The content simply doesn't exist.
>>724056876games from the ps2 era used to do this a lot more i feel like where they would have code and debug features that would be put in the main game to make it seem like it had more contentlike the unlockable sa2 green hill zone being a rushed reskin of a debug map
>>724053904>Sonic out of literally nowhere
>>724057314>>724057472It's very based and ergonomic. If you ever wonder why Ultimate and Air Riders have so much content in them, it's because their engine is clearly very robust (code analysis and the source code snippets we've seen on his channel show this but even without that it's obvious just from playing). Sakurai was a very ergonomic programmer even before becoming a director, and that attitude has carried over.I don't want this to sound like I'm sucking him off, but it is genuinely very rare for someone in his position to understand/remember the benefit of efficient programming and asset reuse when they get to the top of the pyramid.
>>724057837(Me)Fuck, I meant "economic", not "ergonomic". Although that's true too to an extent.I have the flu so I'm not thinking straight.
Who /starman/ here?
pic of the day is back, but sadly on JP
>>724058771oops sorry, full imageI was just fixated on rato
I WISH THE GAME WAS OUT NOW AUGH
Okay so when is smash 6 coming out
>>724052889I think the game was just rushed, at some point during the long development they probably scrapped what they had and restarted leading to a bunch of stuff that feels unfinished.
>>724059076Wouldn't be surprised if most of the stickers are secretly AI generated using some proprietary model and they spent a couple of months getting junior artists and interns to polish them up and remove the blemishes.
>>724059076in some aspects, it has that "ghost of a previous version of the game" feel that banjo kazooie nuts and bolts had
>>724059171anon this game is better MKW but you need to control your delusion
>>724059267I was being facetious.
this is becoming popular in japan
>>724059171Anon, why in the ever loving fuck would they AI generate assets that they already have?
>>724051429I don't know why people are still impressed by this. engagement farming "artists" have a bunch of premade templates they fill in with detail whenever a character is revealed. it's like how twitterfags make a new wojak every week.
Why would anyone play Mario kart once this shit comes out
>>724057343Your post is the terrible bait, Kirby Air Ride had almost no variety and an extremely small amount of things to do. There's ONE city trial map, and it's the same in Riders. This game is going to be fomo and forgotten about fast, exactly like the original game.
>>724059336also 魔法のケビ
Aaaaand here come the derailers.

>>724060450The game isn't even out yet, numbnuts. I bet you haven't even played the original.
Not Kirby but I want this game so I was looking at Switch 2Why is the pro controller 90 fucking dollars? Jesus
>>724059484I never said anything about the original game, speedreader-kun. "Air Ride" is the name of the main racing mode.I'm only comparing Air Riders to MK, not the original game.
>>724060719The switch 1 controllers all still work at least, pro controller included
slopnic got raped and gaped
>>724060978This is a sequel that reuses everything from the original game, which I have already played and know sucks ass. This game has never been played for more than 20 minutes max at any party I've been at where it's busted out at, because it's babby's first racer.

>>724063498>its not meant to be le funI see Sakurai has been attending the Naughty Dog Academy Of Powerful™ Design
>>724047274I am excited for the game but it is odd how the people complaining about world having a lack of content immediately go for the games with less tracks, and in crossworld’s case, less to do overall
>>724063386>t. slopnictroon
>>724056535literally wishing I could reach through the screen and eat theseFUCK YOU SAKURAI WHY CAN'T YOU INVENT A GOING INTO GAMES MACHINE FOR THIS
>>724063725It's going to be Japan exclusive, similar to the Pikmin gummies for P3DX and P4, so that's why he never mentioned it.
>>724056535What do you think the gummies taste like
>>724063806Heh, at least Mario Kart World has Dash Food!
>>724052889The stickers aren’t even visible on a bunch of cars. On my favorite its super small and the character’s leg is always covering it up. They could have at least let you choose where to put it.
>>724047274I'm glad someone is saying something about the returning tracks not being all that. I am hoping that the new mechanics make it so that the returning tracks are good, but part of the reason why Air Ride as a mode was so unfavored in the original was because of the absolute imbalance of vehicles on certain tracks. Formula Star, which sounds amazing on paper, was absolute dogshit because of the hard turns and physics of the old courses (like the narrow spiral turns in Machine Passage, the weird banked bridge on Frozen Hillside) and bringing back those courses would in turn bring back those turns and presumably those same quirks assuming the physics of them were not addressed.
>>724063806>he doesn’t know
>>724063794>"heh, this game will outsell mario shart">"w-what? no mario-sama, I said we're gonna destroy slopnic, haha..."
>My nigga Daroach got on the rosterI'm big chillin. The only other NEVER EVER I could hope for is Queen Sectonia.I've never wanted to fuck a bee more in my life. But I doubt she'd make it in unless they did like, a boss characters DLC. Which who knows. I'm sure fans would clamor for Galatca Knight, unless he's a hidden unlock somewhere. If he gets in, so should Sectonia.
>>724063786It SEEMS like there's more content because of all the unlockables, customization, and events. There's actually less racing involved with fewer modes, but people put up with because there are online events where you can win Hatsune Miku stickers for your Minecraft minecart, or a big checklist so you can unlock everything randomly from the actual courses to a silly hat. Mario Kart is TOO straightforward, and after ditching 10 years of 8DX to start a new one people don't think it's enough anymore because it's "over" much sooner.
>>724065284>heh, this will make them stop shitting on slopnic flopworlds, haha
>>724065458To be fair to Kirby, the variety in City Trial/Stadiums and the amount of tweakable options that will be on display in the Road Trip mode does end up making for a good amount of variety in actual playable content. Sonic is bad though, particularly in single player and the shitty excuse for alternate modes that is Race Park
>>724065616you're welcome to shit on basednic all you like, kirbytroonbut next time you take shots at mariokings, think twicethough it seems you're too pussy to do that anymore lmao

Man, Robo Dedede gives off such Brawl vibes.
How many more characters realistically do you think haven't been shown yet?
>>724049730>You even have 2 buttons nowUnfortunately
So is queen ripple in?
>>724069897Not too many. Dark Matter Biker or whatever he ends up being is probably a secret character for beating Road Trip the first time, besides him there's probably 3 or 4 characters at absolute most.
They are just saving her for a big surprise unlock right?
>watched the direct>got to the part where Sakurai talks about the old music>reveals that they actually brought back all the tracks from the original game>takes my brain seconds to process this information before it hits me and I flip outGot so fixated on the music thing that I somehow missed the fact that I was looking at Air Riders until Sky Sands showed up.
>>724060719If you want to go cheap look for a wired controller. You can get a decent one for around $25. >>724070897I want to believe that there is going to be a character unlocked for beating 02. If not, at least I have Rick and Taranza
>>724070963Same. I also wasn't counting, so I didn't initially realize as they were listed off that they had brought back all 9.
>>724046967dont care, still not buying.i hope this game flops so sakurai could quit the industry before getting involved in smash
>>724063517Aura farming
>>724069897This is assuming the mystery Dark Matter character is unlockable, and that this character select screen doesn't scroll or have another page
>>724072653Given the frequency and capacity that smash games were able to reorganize the character selection menu I think it's impossible for us to tell how many things will be there

>>724056876Kid Icarus Uprising had a similar thing with offering hearts to goddesses. It didn’t affect anything else in the game (as far as I know), it was simply a pointless but neat add-on.

>>724073195Sakurai has been pretty good about adding a "Yeah, you don't need this currency anymore, here's a sink for it." Except Ultimate, but that's not his fault specifically, it's Nintendo's for locking gambling to a paid subscription.

>>724074449As you have to do a "quick spin" to transform, I guess the catch is that you can't use "quick spin" for its usual purpose with this machine.
>>724075212I guess Zorah wishes to be able to move by its own and keep dreaming about it all the time, it dreams so hard that its dreams reach the fountain of dreams and the star rod, the star rod then transmit the wish contained within its dream to Nova who can grant that wish.

>>724074523Nobody, his girlfriend when completely insane and became a danger to popstar, Kirby had no choice but to literally vaporize her.
>>724046967The real make or break for this game will be the music, MKW has an insanely good soundtrack, Sonic Crossworlds on the other hand has a dogshit soundtrack. The smash remixes we're usually really Ggarbo I don't think we'll get anything decent from the soundtrack.
>>724077447lmao okay
>>724077447bro, the new music we've heard already bangsalso if you're implying brawls mk revenge is "garbo", you have no ground to stand on.
>>724070897Nope, Sakurai hates her.
>>724076446Air Ride will most certainly have a meta, both machine and character. Expect that mode to turn super gay past Week 1. Thankfully City Trial is dynamic enough between stadium choices, machines being destroyed, everyone starting on Compact Star, and more to at least be flexible enough. Doesn't mean you'll have a great time using Formula Star to go power up collecting compared to Shadow or Swerve, but still.Hopefully they'll have the foresight to find a fix to Bulk Star and Hydra stunlocking (due to how they both work, they can't really escape being put at a standstill, and they're too heavy to fly away from being hit). It's especially grim that the offensive legendary machine is rendered pathetic the moment it gets hit.I guess the demo will have to serve that purpose.
Is it just me or does it seem like getting hit isn't that bad of detriment a majority of time from what footage we've seen? Like, even if you get slapped to a halt you bounce back incredibly fast with the exception being certain specials designed to be a hindrance or total machine destruction.
>>724073143I was happy to see him. Swinging around is just a bonus.
>>724077587One track isn't the norm
Top Ride Chads, steer or free controls?
>>724078167>all king dedede remixes>whispy woods melee and 4 remixesYes, it is.
>>724077926Yes, it's probably the same as in Air Ride GC, where getting hit either propelled you in the air for light machines, did the same for average weight machines, and bulkier machines suffered the most (See >>724077904)The question lies in the damage of Supers, and what will be the default option, because Air Ride GC has the choice to race with health on (get damaged too many times and you're out for good, the few bottomless pits like on Celestial Valley also killed you) or off. Machines obviously retain health on if a race is chosen for the City Trial stadium.
>>724078237Steer always made more sense in my head.
>>724078237Free always made more sense in my head.
>>724078237The truth is somewhere in the middle...
>>724078237Both of them make sense in my head.
>>724064132chinese glue
>>724078237Free as a kidGravitated toward Steer Star as an adultBoth made sense in my head for those eras
>>724078237Neither ever made sense in my head.
>>724078237Fuck whatever my head thinks, I steer from the heart.
>>724078237i still dont understand the differencewhatever is closest to the air ride controls i guess
>>724081094Free is you point the stick in the direction you wanna go, steer is you use left and right to rotate the star like it's a steering wheel.Steer is better once you get used to it, but it feels a bit weird at first. Free still has a delay in turning the direction you want so there's no improvement of your turning speed with either.
>>724081389>Steer is better once you get used to itEven Sakurai said this, but I don't get it. I don't have any issue holding the direction I want to go at all times. Slight turns are as easy as moving the stick along the rim, and drifting around corners feels perfectly natural as the star course corrects itself while holding the desired end direction. I don't get what only having control over left and right has over that if the turning speed is in fact the same.
>>724082230Same, I don't get it either.Maybe it's because I simply never played enough top ride back then, but still.
It’s cool we’re getting the first game’s tracks back, but the new ones look so much better
>>724078237Steer.Free is very awkward.
>>724061251>misreads>gets corrected>defaults to "babby's first racer"fucking kek
I don't know, Mario Kart World is a very weak game, so acting like Kirby won by being less bad than a bad game ends up feeling kind of hollow.
>>724065978>>724065458I like the events because the gameplay is fun and I like playing with my friends. I'm hoping the same for Kirby next month but not all of them are getting it at launch
>>724046967Should I buy the physical or the digital edition? Pros and cons?
>>724084972it's also (deservedly) shitting on crossworlds too, sobut at the end of the day who gives a shit
With Sakurai saying they have no plans on adding dlcs I saw two types of reactions so far>Oh so the roster is all completed now but I wanted X character awww :(>Look, Sakurai is saving the industry, of course I'm going to get mad at him when Nintendo decides to impose dlc, calling him a hypocrite even though his statement wasn't absolute at all :))fucking hate fags with no reading comprehension man
>>724085875Honestly the game seems pretty filled with content so I can live with no DLC, I'm guessing they're just gonna wait and see how it does first
>>724086202>filled with content>18 tracks
>>724070897I dont care that Ado and Ribbon were more important I want the 64 rep to be the Queen
>>724086378There's also City Trial and Top Ride and challenges associated with them. Air Ride wasn't my favorite mode in the original game and I'm sure they went in thinking "9 tracks, like the original" but thought that'd be too little and decided to add all the original ones so this is a full on upgrade/replacement for it
>>724086378>Top Ride>City Trial>StadiumsThere's plenty.
>>724086378meanwhile:>18 top ride mini tracks>city trial that's bigger than the past one with online battle royale>story mode with branching(mainly gameplay)paths>expansive machine customization mode>stadiums with alternative versionsair ride tracks are expansive as hell as well
>>724086883>18 top ride mini tracksI'm pretty sure only the Air Ride tracks are returning. They made a note of how narrow the original Top Ride courses were so I don't think they bothered bringing those back. But imagine if they did, and also brought back the original City despite saying Skyah was the only map in City Trial. Just bring the entire first game back.
>>724087038They could. That doesn't mean the game isn't still filled with content, though.
>>724087038>completely make the first game obsolete by bringing forward everything to the new oneGod, I hope so. I spent a lot of time on those original Top Ride tracks, I'd love to get them back again. The new ones are unironically too big.
>>724086883>>724087038That is technically 27 tracks in all, at least, making it more than crossworlds
>>724088550CrossWorlds has 24 main tracks plus 15 mini tracks with the worlds, plus 5 more coming, so it'll have 30 tracks/45 in total. Kirby and Sonic have a good amount for what they are since Sonic's has the most tracks since All Stars Racing in 2010 but without repeating themes and Air Riders has double the content of the original game
>>724088550Don't forget the races exclusive to City Trial, like Oval Circuit, Short Race, Drag Race, Rail Panic, and Beam Gauntlet. Sure, they're not normal races, but they're still unique courses nonetheless.
>>724089069>plus 5 more coming*paid
>>724089186oval circuit is basically baby park
>>724089287You can play them for free online as well. I've yet to get the DLC and I've been playing the extra track that way so far.
>>724089369The gliding makes it more fun!
>>724047274mario kart is always 50% trash filler tracks no one likesyou could easily curate a list of 18 MK tracks and make a satisfying roster

>>724051694Robot scooters are cute!
I like the visual design of Kirby Air Ride's machines though and I don't want them ruined by people applying ugly skins and accessoriesIt's bad enough that now you can mix and match characters with rides and undermine their readability that wayI hope there's an option to disable cosmetics>>724069897There's only room for 3-4 more in the character select screen. I expect some combination of Adeline/Ribbon, the Mage Sisters, Elfilin, and the Dark Rider, though knowing Sakurai I could see 1-2 of those being nixed in favor of more generic enemies
>>724090049Do you think all of the track in the original Air Ride are good?
>>724090930>mentally handicapped “riders should be glued to machines” schizo is hereNo one cares, fuck off
>>724050546source on this gif?the name is bit crushed to death
>>724091092I've seen at least 3 other anons think this, so it's not just one person
>>724091283looks like lilsmokey to me
>>724046967I miss how MKDS let you design your own emblems
>>724047274Dude the main game is City Trial 2 Sakurai said it himself that the racing isn't the main attraction>City Trial>On a larger and more varied map>With more vehicles>and 30 characters>and more events>and more stadiums>online>with teams>and cosmeticsWhat more do you fucking want
>>724092792While the racing is fun, everyone I know spent 90% of the time in the original in city trial. Focusing on the racing over city trial would be silly.
>>724092575thanks anon, that was it
>>724093294tbf, most of what i've seen is people be more interested in the racing mode compared to city trial.
>>724060020>>724059916>>724059818Literally the only Nintendo game worth the price so far
>>724061791Yes stat customization fucking sucks and encourages metafagging
>>724072653I think he'd actively avoid a scrolling menu just to make his game even more of a middle finger to Mario Kart World
>02's backDamn that's cool. Still not getting a Switch 2.
>>724077904I think they'll release a lot of balance patches for the game to address OP shit
So how high will the percentage of trannies be with them using Susie with bunny ears and pastel colored machines?
>>724094712Not high enough that a little population control won't do the trick.
Older Taranza AI slop for that one anon who was hoping for more phat art of him on one older Air Riders thread in case he made it in.Gz for you.
>>724094712everything must be done to keep Susie away from those freaks
>>724094712>tranniesI would sooner expect actual men on /v/ lobbies to use bunny Susie
>>724094712Why is this even a thing that comes to your mind in any way shape or form?Like you see Susie with bunny ears and this is the thing that comes to your mind?Please don't bring this stuff to Kirby threads, you have other threads and a whole board for this stuff.I want things to be more comfy and fun in threads about a fun game.
>>724095703 hes one of them but is too pussy to say it directly
>>724059005>Okay so when is smash 6 coming outI don't know but here's hoping Kirby gets juiced to 5 playable from 3
>>724075212OH BOY TIME TO KILL THE SHIT OUT OF NOVA FOR THE THIRD TIME!
At the end of the day she'd win.
>>724090943Only bad one was the final one. The rest were good.
>>724047274>We haven't earned the respect of an unironic MKW simp.That's fine. Lions don't concern themselves with the opinions of sheep.
At this point the only fucker I'd want in is Dark Matter Swordsman, but thats a never ever. Especially because the Definitely-Not-Posessed-Dedede Dark Rider is such a similar look.
>>724098210There's two entire slots dedicated to waddle dees I think Dark Matter has a fair swing
I'm glad the rat got in.Big fan of the rat. His game was meh but his design and demeanor are great.
>>724098304Dee think he dr mario
>>724047274Can I play only the regular tracks without joining a fucking discord server for custom matches?No? Then what's the point, I don't want to play fucking intermissions half of the time.
>>724066790I want him in too, but what would gim's gimmick be?
>>724099516He yoyoSpecial is he yoyo but big
What bosses are going to be in?
>>724099841Well we know Mecha Dedede, Nightmare, and 02.That could be it, but Morpho or Dark Mind would be fun.
>>724060719Switch 1 pro controllers work on Switch 2, so just use that if you have one. I'm definitely not getting a Switch 2 controller until my Switch 1 controller dies
But are there any nude mods yet?
>>724086202I'm 100% sure that the reason there's not going to be any DLC is because Sakurai is immediately jumping to Smash after and he knew that so he made sure it was as complete as can be. Maybe if it does really good then they'll get someone else from the usual Kirby devs to make DLC in a year or two but they won't want Sakurai stuck to Air Riders for too long. In fact, I'm almost sure that Smash has been in development for a year or two already but they were working on stuff that doesn't need Sakurai's full attention.
My main is of course Daroachwith the occasional dabbling into Magolorwhatever machine I feel like even if metafags will always be rampant>>724100524most of them are nude already :^)
Skyiah looks fun but there's no way people won't get bored of playing the same map over and over for city trial. If they don't want to make more maps, then they should really add in a stage builder like Smash Bros
>Gooey + Wagon starYup, it's retard maxing time
>>724060719Buy an 8bitdo for $30 instead, fuck the official controller.
>>724084807>can be played with one handYup, it's babby's first racer alright.
>>724085875Mine is >Sakurai's probably contracted to hop to another project as soon as Air Riders is done. The stinky ones will return.
>>724060719Anon for your own good don't look up how much the Xbox and PS5 elite controllers cost
is forgotten land switch 2 worth the pick up
>>724051694Sakurai confirmed the rider vehicles are alive so I'm fucking my wheel wife.
>>724104594If you like the modern Kirby games then yeah. Its Kirby but with a z-axis
>>724104825I mean even if that wasnt a thing the wheelies would still be alive since theyre already a species

I want to see both Ribbon and Adeline but if we only can have one then I would rather have ribbon
>>724107942Give Adeleine bone cancer
>>724105216and 60 fps, it's been a long time
>>724065360Taranza...
>>724062047You have good tastes anon!But Squeak Squad isn't even bad, it's just fine. It doesn't stand out or excel, but it's not unplayable or anything.In the grand scope of games including all the modern slop and mobile games and buggy broken AAA scams, Squeak Squad is better than like 95% of all games ever made.
>>724107942make dedede fall in love with me
>>724073601>I'm surprised they managed to capture the look of the original game.Eh disagree, they used way too much smash lighting and stuff from the most recent entry. Feels a lot more different visual wise.
>>724107942Double the Fairy Queen's weight
>>724058771el,,,,,,,,,,,,ratto,,,,,,,,
>>724062918>he doesn't understand economyThey'd have to be even more expensive in merica but instead the extra cost is distributed across all regions so that they are still competitive
>>724100025If Edgy Biker Man isn't an unlockable character then he'll probably be an unlockable stadium boss instead. Actually any boss fights from road trip that aren't playable will probably get in as bosses in stadium too.
Henshin Star is too cool.
>>724108236That's what people mean when they say there are no bad kirby games. Even the "meh" kirby games are superior to so much of the industry. Kirby gameplay is just fun, copy abilities are fun, the little pink puffball is fun, no matter how simple it is this time.
>>724107942i know it's sci-fi cliché but all those mehcanical textures really highlight the sheer scale of NOVA. I kinda like how this game comes swinging back with all those gamecube era aesthetics and that sakurai spirit. I kinda hope it has a bit of an influence on the future Kirby games, but then Forgotten land kinda had a little edge to it with its setting as well
>>724085875What are you talking about? Why aren't you shitting on the retards that think he said anything as a personal insult to Mario Kart and Pokémon? Why would he insult the products of the company he works for? He didn't even say that to insult anything let alone the business practice. He's obviously just saying the game is done and he's working on something else now so don't bother him about that. If Sakurai was against DLC he wouldn't have done some of the most cancerous DLC in all of Nintendo.
>>724108531
>>724047274Mario Kart having 32 tracks is the standard before DLC was introduced in 8.People bitching about World are bitching about it's shitty online system that forces them to play intermission filler more than anything.
>>724060719Is there a good fix for Nintendo's shitty, oversensitive D-Pads yet? If not I'm just going to stay with my masking tape'd pro.
>>724107942Daroach is already my husband, I wish u were GEY
>>724101130People never got bored of the OG City Trial nor Smash Run, I'm sure Skyah will be fine.
>>724046967>sonicfags now need to leech on kirby to stay relevantholy kek
>>724111246CrossWorlds is still getting multiple daily threads that hit bump limit without mentioning Kirby, though. I've seen more Kirby Air Riders pics that do the most shitflinging at the other games
>>724111326yeah because the thread itself is probably a significant part of the people still playing the game
Who is your never-ever pick? My boy's not gonna make it, but I'd settle for Bugzy or Paint Roller
>>724111487>Using Steam numbers for a multiplat game>a racing game no less, and still the highest peak of any Sonic racing game by a lotJesus. I'll never understand this
>>724111628>using concurrent players for a game that has no single player contentwhat about it?
>>724111767Steam is one platform is my point. I got Sonic on Switch.
>>724111628gamewarring is one hell of a drug
>>724046967Maybe if you chuds stopped making so many horrible symbols by stacking stickers you would be allowed to do it
>>724111891just the biggest game platform out there. I guess you can go pay nintendo online to get disconnected all the time if you want>>724111902it's just the truth mate
you knowfuckI've been so stupidyeah I get HEN... SHIN! is a reference... but fuckthey are called RIDERS too
>>724047274>muh 15 tracks>there are several other game modes to play unlike MKW
>>724112126>he says this, when the game is successful on Switch
>>724112228we know tendies like to eat shit anon
>>724112126How else am I gonna play Air Riders?I don't support this tribalism. I've been a 3 cakes guy since World was shown and Air Riders was announced, and I can't wait to play this with my Kirby loving friends like I've been enjoying crossplay with my Sonic loving friends on CrossWorlds.
>>724112384emulate it like a real human

>>724111326>>724111487>>724111628sonic crossworlds threads are just /sthg/2 with the same schizos every time, how they havent been booted to /vg/ yet is a mysteryother than that they spam modded gameplay to spark interest when there's no forced festivals around, which validates using low steam numbers against it since that's the pc version
>>724107942I want the anon above me to have taste buds in his asshole.
>>724112884>segay seethe
>>724111623Maybe a boss, but never playable. Too big for Smash.
>>724112572I think Squishy may get in. Probably not super likely, but there's a chance
>>724057109it wont though. show me the report function on nintendo switch online. did you already forget all the nazi uniforms around islands on animal crossing?
>>724112348so now it's tendies' fault rather than Steam? make up your damn mind
>>724059484>forgotten about fast, exactly like the original gamefound the retard
>>724113015It's interesting that he's like the last original Kirby character (other than that blimp) to not be shown. I think he may be used somewhere in the game
>>724113015Wasn't he one of the new City Trial events?
>>724113134>>724113015we literally saw it and dynablade as bosses
>>724111623I feel like I can only hope that Ribbon makes it as one of those Road Trip assist characters at best.
>>724111623I wanted Ice Dragon, but I'll live.I got TWO Waddle Dees.
>>724107942Make Susie my loyal footslut wife!
>>724113165You're right, just checked the first direct. So I guess he is a never-ever
>>724112829I see. Well, at the end of the day, I don't give two shits about Steam numbers since I don't play on that platform, my friends all like and play the game, and I get matches fast. I'm also looking forward to Air Riders. This tribalism just gets so old.
Sorry about that, mispost.
>>724111623Qbby or Jobski.
>>724078237I had to invert my controller for this mode it was too complicated. In my head.
>>724113064I just posted how the game is dead on steam anon. learn to read?
>>724085203I'm probably going to go digital so I never have to slot it in but I physical copy comes with the case. The physical containers for switch2 games look like fucking shit though. I don't know why they put a red ribbon across the entire top of the cover taking up cover art space. Knowing soccer guy there will be a sweet reversible slip with a better art cover in it and that might be sick as fuck.
>>724112572>"SQUISHEH"
As one of the few people in the world who actually bothered to complete the checklist for Top Ride in the first game, that mode did not need to be put in the sequel at all; it was not that enjoyable.
given that abilities that alter vehicle physics don't show the characters in their normal forms at all, i think that UFO is gonna be an actual ability in the game and that Wing will not returnthat said, if another ability were to be added to round it out to 18, i think tornado would be best
>>724059336Saw that in the Direct and instantly thought>Donut on head retarded
>>724100351>was going to do this>R button on Switch 1 Pro Controller started wigging out just before Switch 2 released>only had it for like two years
>in the threads before the first direct I was one of those anons who said that it would just be playable kirbys>immediately get btfo hard>okay fine but I want my boy Simirror>don't get him>okay fine but I want my brown kirby back>he's also gone>okay fine but I don't want Lololo & Lalala because they're boring as fuck>get themWhat did I do to deserve this.
>>724115119But Marx with funny hat
>>724115119
>>724114567Magic would be my pick because it'd be a fun "Random" option. Anything can happen when you use Magic!For actual race affecting abilities, Spider seems like such an easy one to tap especially with Taranza already in the game. In fact I'm pretty pissed that he can Spider-Man and nobody else can, that ability seems way too cool to be locked to this loser.
>>724115119You have shit taste
>>724111623Wanted him in Star Allies as well.Was I expecting him to actually get in? No.Am I expecting him to get into Kirby Air Riders? Again, no.
>We will also be updating the game with one track, and three characters to the roster per month for the foreseeable future A man could dream
>>724109569Not even the first time people have tried that. Back when he was doing his youtube videos, his social media had to issue a statement that no he was not insulting anyone and for viewers to please be respectful.It was the dumbest thing too. He did a video on how they made the forest in the background of the Spirit Tracks stage look nicer by changing the shades of trees in the background. Some ADHD riddled shitposters heard the word tree and thought "woah he must be talking shit about sword and shield". Even though the tree in Sword and Shield was infamous because it had a shit ass texture, nothing remotely like what he went over in the video.The writers at Nintendo Life tried pushing it for clicks and then got btfo when most of the website voted in the poll that they didn't believe the two were related at all. Gave me a little bit of hope for the internet to see that comment section roasting the author of the article over it.
IT WAS HIS TURN
>final character is hatless goombabut why
>>724113807anon I hate sonicfags too, I am just stating that you make up your damn mind on who is "selling"
>>724116063As nice as it sounds for everything to be on the disk day-one, I would feel bad if a popular character (especially a dream friend) didn't get in
>>724109569fighter pass is standard though
>>724116138Sakurai hates Kirby with whiskers, not happening.
>>724116240he is an echo fighter
>>724059336Is this the equivalent of the Pepe with food on his head meme?

>>724046967Not gonna lie I'm tempted to get a Switch 2 JUST so I can play this at launch. Online with the girl I like.
>>724117579>Have to buy switch 2 adjusted by drumpf tariffs >Then 100 for the game>Then pay for the online subscriptionI don't want to miss out on this but I'm not a premium gamer either

>>724106097That's a good point. What's the difference between a Wheelie and a Wheelie Bike? Are the motorcycle bits just a saddle, effectively? Is this game retconning that air ride machines have always been a part of the world, and Wheelies are aliens to Popstar? Or are they a different 'species'?
>>724107942No more niggers, jeets and jews.

>>724121347I think it helps that she's already a good friend of mine and that I'm actually hyped for Kirby Air Riders and not just to play with her
>>724046967I'm going to guess waddle dee plus paper star is going to be the tryhard combo, I have no logical reasoning for this just a gut feeling
>>724117579This is literally the only good true exclusive for it this year and also GOTY obviously so yes.
>>724123652Idk, Donkey Kong seemed pretty good.
>>724123652What anout Bananza
>>724123746>>724123767I can't respect a game that makes you listen to a 6 year old girl sing terribly which overrides the normal background music every time you use a transformation, I'm sorry I have very specific and nitpicky standards and Bananza doesn't meet one of them which is to respect the composers and my ears.
>>724124179Also having ghe option to turn her singing off AFTER you beat the game is just spiteful and autistic>We know you want this option but you have to listen to the songs 100 times first because you JUST HAVE TO OKAY?????
Daroach will be meta

>>724124645If there's more boses than what was shown, then he's pretty likely. Especially since he was in a Kirby game once.

>>724125751You're very welcome!
>>724128173I’m glad you like them, but even calling them “modes” is very charitable compared to KO Tour and Battle (mediocre in World), or Top Ride and City Trial
>>724112167>Sakurai went "TOH" in the first Air Riders direct when he revealed Starman and framed it near 1-to-1 with how Kamen Rider Ichigo did it in the og series>Now a Henshin Machine where he literally says "HEN.... SHIN"let bro direct a Kamen Rider game already
who /glasscannon/ here?
I don't even own a Switch 2 but I'm going to buy Air Riders on principle because Sakurai is a dying breed of developer and we may not get very many AAA games solo directed by an autist who loves arcade games ever again. This is my form of economic protest.
>>724130720i am going to main this little shit so fucking hard
