Holy shit this looks amazing. This game went from a shoulder-shrug to a Day One must buy.
sorry, I'm busy playing Sonic Racing *shrugs*
>>724261314Same energy as the YouTube Nintendo hate channels that are still seething over the Nintendo switch 2
>>724261314Sorry, bro. I hope it heals up soon.
>I boughted >Must buy>Already preordered >Yup still buying
>>724261314>she has to play the poorfag Mario Kart Knockoff because she can't afford the real thing.
WHO ARE YOU MAINING? Your main DID make it in, right?
>>724261181I'd rather play Disney Speedstorm
>>724261651No Elfilin. Literally fucking seething.
>>724261181Feels kinda weird without that angry expression.
>>724261792based sakurai leaving out almost the entirety of nukirby characters
>>724261662enjoy those $90 characters
>>724261651There are people who give a shit about Daroach?
they gotta put this song back in or no buywww.youtube.com/watch?v=2bEZQ00OOxY
>>724261181ENTER
>>724262113Me, the one fan of squeak squad.
>>724262312Ok so who actually is this character? I've never played this game before. Is it supposed to be a bad guy?From what I've read, it seems like he/she/it just grants wishes, and has to be blown up as a result. It doesn't sound like this "Galactic Nova" thing is actually any bad.
>>724261651No Gim no buy
>>724262113Emenius. If he isn't dead.
>>724261651waddle doo
>>724261181I thought this was supposed to be a racing game but I watched the Direct and it looks like Mario Party but Kirby. It has like 50 different modes. I am not complaining. Just saying it was a surprise.
>>724262470correct, it's just one of several wish-granting machines made by a precursor race.
>>724262470It's not really that menacing. It's this ancient wish granting pocketwatch from Kirby Superstar. It's not inherently evil or anything it just follows the person making the wish after collecting the seven stars.
>>724261181Yeah sweetie here’s the thing, im not paying $70 for a vidya. I know i know but im just not okay
>>724261651Stealing all your copy abilities and there's not a thing you can do about it.
>>724261181>no brown kirby>15hz netcode with random disconnects highly likely just like splatoon 2 and 3 got>no 120hz mode or native 4K mode(correct me if i'm wrong)>input lag is going to be worse than PS3 20-30fps triple buffer lagslop tier(100ms+) if nintendo's track record continues in the same trend(splatoon 2,3 smash bros all got dumpster tier 100ms input latency)As much as i want it to be good, the signs are pointing towards it being yet another esport-tier title griefed by nintendo's deliberate unwillingness to make their games viable for real competitive play like Melee and GCN Air Ride were...
>>724263185id compare the games made by bamco rather than other nintendo games with different devs. tekken 8 had actually pretty solid online
>>724263429(me)though you are right that the online is the make or break. at least the beta test is there.
>>724261181
>>724261592>she
>>724263184My prediction is that Daroach is going to be S tier, he seems pretty busted. Taranza is also probably going to be high tier since he's one of the few characters with an ability that constantly speeds himself up.
For me, its Chef Kowasaki.
>>724261792He said there will be some characters that won't be revealed before launch, so don't give up hope!
>>724265401MORE LIKE CHEF KAWAYUCKY EH-HEH-HEH-HEH
>>724265781That could have been a mistranslation desu
>>724265401that episode where he tries to eat Kirby in front of the children
>>724261651Rick all day my guy
We get five amiibos >kirby >bandana dee>dedede>meta knight And a fucking chief
>>724261651It's hamtaro time
>>724263682This board is full of mentally ill trannies
Anons, what aspects of the game do you think could be a pitfall?
>>724262113And I won’t apologize for it either
>>724261181This series frustrates me because I like everything about it (characters, music, visuals) EXCEPT playing the actual game. I've never had fun with any of them and Air Riders isn't doing anything for me either
>>724263185Why compare the netcode to all of those games instead of to Mario Kart, which is fine?
>>724267652character balance is probably the biggest
>>724261651I'm really feeling it with Rick or Lolo and Lala.
>>724261651Yes, Kirby is in. Was going to go back to the Flight Star, but the HENSHIN calls to me.
>>724266015Why is he so perfect?
looks kinda shit
>>724268347>never had fun with any of themGC Air Ride City Trial w/ players is _THE_ most fun Kirby-related experience one can possibly have. There's a demo time, give it a shot
>>724261181Nope, still skipping this slop
>>724261651>>724262113Daroach is so stylish, that image makes it really clear he and Metaknight stand out as deliberate "cool" characters as opposed to Kirby's usual cute aesthetic (maybe Knuckle Joe a bit too?). Great example of good character design philosophy of making something different that still feels fitting for the series, like old school Pokemon.
>>724266015escargoon deserves a cameo
>>724268347try the forgotten land demo if you haven't already
>>724268718Balance was never Air Ride's biggest strength, the machines are also all over the place. In this case, I'll excuse it for the sake of fun.
Just saw Eggerland gameplay for the first time, holy shit, you guys need to play better games.
>>724261181>only 18 tracks>all tracks fly by faster than koopa beach>NO DLC EVER confirmed directly by sakuraiSorry, but that kills it.
>>724270526>>NO DLC EVER confirmed directly by sakuraiThis is a good thing. I shouldn't have to pay more for a 70 game for what should've been at launch. It is honestly dystopian how hungry gamers are to pay more for what they should've gotten.
>>724261651Would've co-mained Starman and Adeleine, but I'm okay with just playing my caped hero.
>>724271000(me)Shouldn't have to pay for a 60 dollar game for great games like this, let alone 70 either, but that is the world.
>>724261651Dedede, Hamster and Kawasaki
>>724269746>>724269931Fair's fair, I'll give them a shot
>>724261651For me, it's Gooey
>>724271000I agree with you.But the point is that there are ONLY 18 tracks (pitiful) and no DLC ever. And the tracks are all tiny compared to sonic/mario, mind you.If there were like 30+ tracks and no DLC, then perfect.
>>724261651My holdouts are Twister, Bugzzy, Bronto Burt, Squishy, Broom Hatter, and then I wouldn't mind seeing Adeleine, Ribbon, Poppy Bro, and Kiki. I wanted Gooey, Waddle Doo, Bandanna Dee, Star Man, Rocky and LoloLala. More animal friends would be cool, Chuchu being my favorite.No idea who I would main before playing if Twister isn't playable.Heavy Mole is probably my favorite Kirby character, other than Kirby, so I would like for him to be a boss. Pon and Con would be neat as bg chars in Road Trip or something.Hot Head and Burning Leo are my scrimblobimblos.
>>724271337I'd have to play it for myself to be concerned about track length, considering how different the general gameplay is from the other two, but it is a valid concern.
>>724262113Yeah, we even like the remaining Squak Squad cast.
>>724261651I normally don't care that much about Taranza but his webslinging gimmick looks really fun.Other than that i'll probs be a Rick dick
>>724261181do tendies really?
>>724261651cappyand probably taranza, his ability looks super fun
>>724262030Is this you?
>>724271000>It is honestly dystopian how hungry gamers are to pay more for what they should've gotten....let's just ignore the 4 gorillion dollars worth of amiibo they're putting out with this game
>>724267208And?
>>724271453>sakurai kirby>kind of strongthat fucker single handedly dismantled a highly advanced battleship single handedly and then went on to blow up a death star
>>724271925I'll bite What kind of content are you being locked out from by not purchasing the toys?
>>724271453I like how Shimomura's Kirby fits neatly between both versions.
>>724271925Who said I was advocating that as well? That is also shit.
>>724271607i guess it comes down to variety.F Zero 99 only has a handful of tracks, but they would be enough if it wasn't for the voting mechanic being set up in a way where the popular choice always wins
>>724272130>What kind of content are you being locked out from by not purchasing the toys?trainable and properly customisable NPCs, and the most difficult NPC AIs get locked behind them
>>724261181Crazy how Rocky sacrificed everyone in this collection for a spot in the game
>>724273443Slander.
>>724266028Just checked the original direct, no, he specifically says that there are more characters in the game itself, these are just the last ones he's showing off.Treehouse/8-4 translators making shit pointlessly confusing, as per usual.
>>724274106>he specifically says that there are more characters in the game itselfno he doesn't, in fact he says these are the last/final newly introduced riders
>>724261181The conspiracy theorist in me is saying that nintendo intentionally made mario kart world underwhelming so that this would be an appealing alternative.
>>724268479Mario kart's netcode is bad but more tolerant, what often happens is you get shelled without warning because of a desync or high latency with the p2p nature of the netcode.Smash Bros's is near unplayable, the input lag + the netcode latency + the network stutters all compound into a near unplayable experience.The issues are worsened with the Switch's awful wifi too, no idea if it's any better on the S2.
>>724261592I got both games and I'm getting Kirby too
>>724275153>さらにライダーがいます>これで新紹介は最後"There are still more riders, but these are the last I'm showing off".A far cry from "these are the last ones in the game".
>>724261651Rick and Susie. Wish Chilly or Mr. Frosty were playable
>>724275153>the rider select screen has 3 missing slots>the japanese website has an empty space to fit another row of charactersYeah, surely we saw all of them
>>724275426that's not specifically saying there will be more riders than shown.he says there are more riders as an intro to the segment of showing off the last of the new rider introductions
>>724272725So nothing then
>>724275426You can't read Japanese and you're also taking these words out of context for the presentation. Those are the final characters in the game, because that's it cuts to after he finishes speaking.
If there are going to be more characters, who are the most likely ones?Not a crazy Adeleine fan but she's popular and seems like an obvious pick.
>>724261651Why is only one of the Powerpuff Girls there?
Excited to play once the Switch 2 emulator is up and running
>>724275696Another miniboss is likely, probably Bonkers
>>724271453Anime DEDEDE is the best>Malicious and illiterate but his goals are childish leading him to be manipulated and enabled by real evil entities. Dumb bully DDD
>>724275608>>724275687Anons, if you said to someone in English, "There are more presents to open. But these are the last I'll unwrap", then the implication is that you will unwrap the rest.It is no different here. The riders shown in that section are the final ones he himself will show before the game is out. Not the final riders.The entire phrase is a reassurance that there are more in the game, that's why he says this here.You guys are overthinking this.
>>724261381Wow the things you've chosen to do instead of losing your virginity
>>724275858Oh, didn't think about Bonkers but he is probably the most iconic miniboss? I could see him getting in at least.
Forget translation bullshit, there are absolutely more riders in the game because spreading that many characters over the course of four achievement boards just accounting for their unlocks and colors mathematically doesnt add upRemember that there are also only so many machines and custom parts in the game as well
>>724262113I think Squeak Squad is pretty shit but I like Daroach, he's cool
>>724263184https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qOL4xvw8FI
>>724275153>>724275608>>724275687shut up, there will be more riders>>724275696>Adeleine
>>724276073It's a no brainer that we'll get at least one bonus character, whether that be the mysterious story mode rider or someone else. It would be weird not to see Galacta Knight since they can make him a clone of Meta and he has appeared in so many games now
>>724261651Speaking of characters, SURELY there'll be more than one alternate color for 90% of the cast, right? I mean it can't be that hard to make color swaps.
>>724276073you also unlock repeat stadiums, doe
>>724276247I think Galacta is already a skin, more likely that Morpho is playable since he isn't one
>>724275935my machine translations dont match up with yours at all and on a personal level i sorta doubt modern nintendo would/could keep a character roster under wraps but ill assume youre fluent and trust what youre saying because its always more fun to be surprised
BRING HIM BACKBRING HIM BACKBRINGHIMBACK
>>724275935>"There are more presents to open. But these are the last I'll unwrap"except he never said but
>>724276073This doesn't confirm anything, because duplicate rewards are a thing as >>724276304 points out, but also remember that in previous Sakurai games with the checklist (such as Uprising), some challenges straight-up didn't have ANY reward, the only thing you got for doing them was unlocking the criteria for the surrounding squares and the knowledge that you'd crawled a tiny bit closer to completion.To this day I've still never finished the Hades board in Uprising. It is so fucking cruel that the "Complete every chapter on 9.0" square is the ONLY achievement in the ENTIRE FUCKING GAME you can't use a quill on. It even makes a taunting little jingle and a lock shows up on the square when you try. Sakurai is such a fucking troll!
>>724276348I am not fluent, fluency is two years off, but I know enough to read this.>>724276639I'm not translating literally, I'm inserting a "but" so it sounds more natural to English speakers. It is rare for two statements that are "exceptional" to be joined like this naturally in our language, however in 日本語 it's common. The intent is the same. What he's basically saying is "There are more riders, here are the last from me", if you want to think of it like that without the "but".
>>724276639What does he say then
>>724262312>"?" is inside Nova
>>724276348>i sorta doubt modern nintendo would/could keep a character roster under wrapsI mean we just had a Pokemon game where not all of the mega evolutions were revealed (officially, there will always be leaks yada yada) before launchDK Bananza marketing did not feature the Elephant or Snake Bananza forms
>>724277017Or K. Rool, for that matter.
>>724275679>doesn't countwhatever you say, doesn't change the reality it's in game and you aren't allowed to play with it unless you pay up, you can downplay it as much you like preorder DLC defenders do but it still exists
>>724276927dude youre full of shit, these are the last riders because he showed THE LAST OF THEM OFF right after saying that, i know yall are coping bc you want your characters in but its not true, im sorry to tell youalso you should probably fire whoever your language tutor is because youre still wronghe said the exact same shit for ultimate and there were no surprise characters in that game, i wonder why??
>>724261181Meh, I don't know. Less than twenty tracks and only one city is like... what?Maybe if it goes on Christmas sale in a few years for 33% off. At this price though, nah.
>He's not in.
>>724276937there's even more riders (in reference to the fact riders were just being shown), these will be the last newly introduced riderslook we could argue all day about whether it's in reference to the direct or the game, you can feel free to believe it's about the direct and be disappointed if it was about the game, and I can believe it's about the game and be excited if it was just about the directdoesn't really matter, the game's coming out in a few weeks
>>724261181I'm hoping Amazon doesn't screw me over when they ship my game.
I wish Sakurai had made a new platformer Kirby instead.
>>724261181It's not looking like.
>>724261651No, purple Kirby sadly did not make it in.
>>724277146Listen to me. I'm not getting into a protracted argument over this. I thought that my interpretation might have been wrong since I am an amateur, that's why I just went back to triple check, but no, my translation is correct.We all have the same copy of the footage, please go and check with a native/fluent speaker if you doubt me.What Sakurai is literally saying is "There are yet more riders. These are the final introductions". Sounds like he's saying "these are the last, full stop", right? No.What Sakurai is actually saying (aka, translating properly and not doing a Treehouse), is "There are more riders in the final game, but these are the final ones I'll reveal in the presentation today".He wouldn't lead with his statement saying there are more riders if he was going to introduce them ALL anyway. He's setting the topic twice to put emphasis on this, that's why it's "exceptional". That's what I was saying earlier, it's an assurance, that's why he bothers to say this at all instead of just letting the character sizzle reels continue playing.
>>724277641>Real star warrior reacts to Kirby Air Riders
>>724277641>GVGi love jon, the rest of them are awful and lazymost of the videos are jons and the ones that arent suck assit should just be jons channel since hes the only one who does short videos of interesting topics and doesnt waffle on about stupid shit or simp for corporations
>>724277891Not that anon, but you seem far too intelligent and rational to be posting on /v/ . Most posters saying dumb shit aren't acting in good faith.
>>724277891>>724278148make it less obvious
>>724278086okay jon
>>724261651Im very excited for this game however im not a huge fan of kirby so i have no idea who ill be playingI like the look of the chef and hamster
>>724261651My son Taranza is in so I am fulfilled.
>>724278086IIRC Jon (or is it spelt John...?) works full-time on the channel which explains why his video output is so crazy.Every other member has a main job elsewhere and they just do GVG after work whenever there's a big news story or they feel like talking about a topic that's bugging them.
>>724261651>Lololo's name is just the little squares he pushes aroundheh
Anyone else looking at the air riders website while sipping on choccy milk rn
>>724278815!!!Oh wow I just got that
>>724277115It's literally not content, retard, it's a CPU setting, even on principle, it's not comparable to locking game modes or costumes behind a paywall, it's such a non-issue that you look retarded trying to make a point about it.
>>724276989oh fuck I thought it was the final area from star allies but that makes way more sense
I'm not crazy for thinking there's gonna be a secret second map for city trial, right? RIGHT?!
>>724271337Sega Rally is one of the all time greatest racing games and it has 4 tracks.
>>724273443>no Ninja SparkFuck...
>>724279949Was rewatching the first direct and he explicitly says it’s the only one
>>724279949The original map would be the best hidden unlock in the game, but I doubt it
>>724276989I noticed as well and was suprised no one else mentioned this
>>724261592Not that femanon but I own MKW and Crossworlds and Crossworlds is the exponentially superior gameI will also be buying Kirby's Air RIders
>>724271293Fucking based
>>724279613I love how immediately followed the playbook of downplaying it as much as possible like your average day one DLC defender, can't even help yourself even called on itI guess you'd defend it if the game got an update that locked all the CPU difficulty levels behind a $50 DLC then because "it's literally not content, retard" yeah it's not comparable to skin, it's worse actually because it's literal gameplay options/possibilities locked behind a paywall, how is it not comparable to a mode, it's a literal mode of play where you train up an character/star combo of your choice from weak and hopeless to an actual formidable opponent that will give a run for your money more often than not, you'd probably be slobbering all over it using it as point of how the game more content than competing games if it just in the game normallybut keep arguing for paying more for less mate
>>724281459n-no you don't understand this kind of gameplay is only possible through the power of amiibo™!
>>724261314based hot chick heaven chad
>>724271000>This is a good thing.I'd agree if it wasn't a game made by that hack. This game is going to be bare-bones and have a terrible online that's not worth playing. I'd be willing to bet the "open" map mode is just going to be the map from the first game recycled.
>>724275354>The issues are worsened with the Switch's awful wifi too, no idea if it's any better on the S2.the switch 2 has a WORSE wifi chip than the switch 1it is so bad I can't even get wifi connection in my own fucking bedroom when every other device I've ever owned can
>>724282236Works fine for me in my house
>>724262113he has a cool design
>>724281981>I'd be willing to bet the "open" map mode is just going to be the map from the first game recycled.a-anon? did you not watch BOTH of the directs?
How much will all the amiibo be in total?
>>72428278410 of 'em
>>724277762>
>>724282236sf6 works great for me, sometimes better than other consoles
>>724282917oh it's the range that's worse, not the actual speeds, nvm.
>>724282845I meant cost.
I bought some of the initial wave of Amiibo, and I feel like if I were a kid now I'd think they were the coolest thing, but I'm pretty over it by now.Does Nintendo consistently have Amiibo support in all their first party titles? I've lost track. It's always seemed like it would be both a good business model and good for consumers if you bought an Amiibo and it got you a bonus in like every Nintendo game or game on Nintendo's platform, then it would really feel like you're getting bang for your buck and on the business side people would have more reason to buy them.
>>724283228you do get bonuses in almost all games that support them but they're wack as fuckdonkey kong just spawns a ball of material you can throw
>>724283228Since the Switch era it seems like most of Nintendo has stopped locking any sort of actual content behind amiibos, which is for the best. Usually amiibos just give you random bonuses you can already get in-game.
>>724261651Kirby Air Riders has pretty good representation overall, even if it’s not a playable Rider you got the other modes and side content where other games can be represented.
>>724261651>no dark matterhuh?
>>724283228the only games that have "significant" rewards nowadays are sakurai games, and whatever else.
>>724283228I sold all of mine last year
>>724282784>How much will all the amiibo be in total?at $50 at piece with 5 announced they'll set you back a cool $250, and that's assuming they won't announce even more of the cast in the future
>>724276672i imagine the repeated machine rewards will work as slots for custom machines.if theres 3 unlocks for a specific machine, it means you will have up to 3 available custom machine slots for that particular machine.
>”We made Mario Kart World $80 because we felt the content justified the price”>Kirby Air Riders in the corner being $70 and having way more content in it
>>724283725back in the day that would net you a billion skylanders wtf????? why so expensive???? at that price you could get one gorgeous figure thats intricately detailed and super large
>>724262470Nova isn't inherently "bad", but if a bad person is going to get their wish granted it needs to be destroyed to stop it.
>>724283562cool
>>724283852Because the Amiibo are like 3x the size of a Skylander.
>>724283813>Also buy my eventual paid DLC that adds back the content we intentionally left out of the base game.Overlysarcastictincanlaughingatpurplehairedcyclopslady.mp4
>>724261651What’s kind of funny is that Waddle Dee can be considered the “boring” pick of Kirby Air Riders. Bandana Waddle Dee was already in the game as the representative of the Waddle Dees and they are also adding more interesting enemy picks like Starman and Scarfy. It doesn’t help that Waddle Dee has a pretty uninspired Special move compared to the rest of the cast. Is he the true Piranha Plant of the game?
>>724284024>Is he the true Piranha Plant of the game?at least piranha plant was fun and interesting
>>724284024i want to believe they added Regular Dee because of the hats, if theres a Sailor hat, we will also get Sailor Dee from Revenge of Metaknight too.
>>724283958That would be ok if it were like, 25 instead of 50. but>>724283852unfortunately, nintendo increased all of their accesories other than switch 2 itself in anticipation of drumpf shit. and there's no way in hell they'll go down even after he's booted.
>>724283638Gooey is right there, bro.
>>724262312How we feeling about the New Star Rod design?
>>724261181hopefully this doesnt shit the bed like MKW. ive been wanting a switch/switch 2 recently and this seems like the first real reason to get one.
The customization in this game is actually kind of ridiculous
>>724268347At least you can try it before you buy it
>>724284281looks like a star rod
>>724283813The fact that the other Kongs aren't in the Mario Kart roster still bothers me.
>>724284024>It doesn’t help that Waddle Dee has a pretty uninspired Special moveIt's a reference to the golden Waddle Dee you find sometimes on Squeak Squad.
>>724284478This brought me back to the Splatoon 1 playtests on the Wii U.Fuck bros, take me back...
>>724262312>revives the purest evil in the universeWhat did NOVA mean by this?
>>724284596Are you me?
>>724261651Taranza or bust, motherfuckers
>>724271000It’s very sad how we’ve gotten so used to DLC and almost always expect it in our games these days, this meme chart may vary depending on the game, Air Riders actually requires us to play the game to unlock everything which will feel rewarding, as nature intended.
>>724261181The only reason I'm interested in this is because mario kart and sonic racing were so shit. Fucking grim that an air ride sequel looks better
>>724271453I love Galacta Knight but I don’t have anger issues, I just think he’s so cool and badass, his theme song kicks ass too
>>724261651Gotta go for Daroach
>>724271453Air Riders feels like it's combining both versions of Kirby. Like a legit culmination of everything that came before it, and it's for a goddamn racing game, I love it.
>>724270526>>724271337Are you forgetting about Top Ride and City Trial, that have their own exclusive race courses?
>>724261651as an orb fucker it's too hard to choose
>>724271453>Sakurai's Kirby>round and pink>Kumazaki's Kirby>pink and round
It's making me get a switch 2
>>724281459You still can't keep up with basic consistency in your comparisons because you don't know what the fuck you're talking about, retard.It's not about downplaying, it's about actually calling you out on trying to compare a literal change to CPU behavior as if it was any kind of "content" you mongrel, it's not even comparable to CPU "levels" because it's adaptive behavior, which can be modified to be easier or harder depending on training, you continue looking retarded by trying to make a huge deal out of it and even doubling down as calling this nothingburguer a bigger deal than costumes, or, heaven's forgive, actual modes being cut for DLC in other games.There's a reason why this was never a big deal in Smash, because it quiet literally isn't real content, other than a feature that is added to personalize the dumb toys.
>>724262312Has anyone ever cosplayed as that character?
>>724261651Hat goomba but without the hat
That's what the Bonanza Direct did for me. I guess I should watch this Direct.
>>724282784Do the calculations anon
>>724283228You can still unlock this costume for Pauline in Bananza by doing all the Bananza Rehearsals, the Amiibo for it just unlocks it early.
There's a Starmen.
>>724284934Marx is my favorite precisely because he's a conniving, evil, sociopathic little shit.
>>724286943she looks like a WHORE in that outfit
>>724286758I'm buying the Air Rider amiibos becauxe sakurai is my friend
>>724286397>It's not about downplaying>this nothingburguerright>You still can't keep up with basic consistency in your comparisons because you don't know what the fuck you're talking aboutwhere have I been inconsistent and I do know what I'm talking about, I've almost certainly trained more these in smash than you ever have>it's not even comparable to CPU "levels" because it's adaptive behavior, which can be modified to be easier or harder depending on trainingwhy ISN'T it in the same range of discussion, it's all CPU behaviours and you arguing for less, you are literally arguing for it to be restricted from you for zero reason, WHY? even if you respond to nothing else respond to this, you are utterly incapable of doing so without downplaying it, the fucking reality of it is that you are in fact arguing for less there's no way around it, you have 9 CPU levels + infinitely trainable/customisable CPUs in the game itself but some reason you're just okay with the trainable/customisable ones being locked away behind paywallsgameplay options being locked away from you vehemently defend it, again answer why?>a bigger deal than costumesyou are brain dead retarded for even so much as insinuating that a cosmetic is more important than something that can effect gameplay massively, fuck it don't even get started on trying to focus in "massively" instead of addressing the main point either disingenuous little faggot>or, heaven's forgive, actual modes being cut for DLC in other games.where the fuck did I call this a "a bigger deal" than cut modes, I criticise games that sell obvious cut mode DLC too like DK bananza's DLC, kill yourself>There's a reason why this was never a big deal in Smashbecause most retards genuinely don't understand it and think the amiibo is integral to it working >a featurewell is it a feature or is it literally nothing, you're the one being an inconsistent dumb nigger who can't decide
>>724288894>DK bananza's DLCHow is it cut content when the post game is already very beefy and DK Isles doesn't have any bananas or the boss rush like Ignot Isle does
>>724288894>I've almost certainly trained more these in smash than you ever haveLook at this retard playing with hot glue figs and bragging about it.
>>724261651Sakurai did not beat the allegations. Shame on him.
>>724261651Marx and Taranza
>>724288987>>724289049Don't bother, he's too busy sucking SEGAY's DLC and pre-order cock as he's too easily convinced by the most limpdicked console war marketing
>>724261592>can't afford the real thing.>when the "knockoff" costs even more for the complete package
>>724283813It's clear from his Youtube videos Sakurai doesn't like the type of shit modern Nintendo does but he can't just come out and say it.
>>724261651Yeah, Kirby made it in. I was so worried...
>>724289437An unpolished knockoff you can play on PC.
>>724288317Yes. And?
>>724284024Bandana waddle dee is bar-none the single worst thing to happen to Kirby as a series and I am so glad that despite his inclusion Doo and the generic one also got in.
>>724284934>Rightfully soFuck off hat goomba.
>>724288987it came out less than 2 months after, be realistic, it had to have been planned before release, DK isle at the very least>>724289314fuck off faggot, I shat on SEGA for locking blue star II to the SEGA account, for werehog being a preorder bonus, for their day one DLC, you're the one falling for the console war bullshit, apparently I can't criticise something I like and am looking forward to, no we all have to act like it's a fucking war with land and lives on the line, one thing is the absolute peak can do no wrong and the other things are the absolute salt of the earth, the worst, zero fucking nuance allowed you have to be only one side, it's impossible enjoy multiple games, it's impossible to criticise multiple games, fuck your console war mindset
>>724289886how? think it's cool how there's a warrior waddle dee
>>724290053>it came out less than 2 months after, be realistic, it had to have been planned before release, DK isle at the very leastBut dk isles doesn't even have any fossils or bananas. what if it was just an extra to go along with the emerald rush mode they were making
>>724290283His name is a mouthful and not the kind associated with Kirby. Zero identity beyond the bandana. Everyone sucking him off endlessly is just a Smashtard who doesn't even care about the Kirby franchise as a whole. He's a Yellow Toad.
oh SHIT FUCK NIGGA
>>724261651if you main meta knight you're gay
Games a monkey paw for me. Always wanted another and it seems like Saki boy is going ALL out with it.Yet its switch 2 and no emulator even close to being playable, let alone networking.
>>724290414He was in super star ultra and he apparently has a lot of dialogue in kirby battle royale (never played it)definitely a step up from yellow toad
>>724290502>I pirate good games btw>>724290550Yes he has history, but Smashtards just look to Return to Dream Land and beyond and say he's Kirby's "Player 2" instead of Gooey, and there are ZERO OTHER characters that matter for the franchise.
>>724290414eh, not much of a reason to hate him imo, but you do you. he's done way too much cool shit on his own to be a yellow toad
>>724290625Is it that weird that people want him in Smash? If he got in that would be all the heroes from return to dreamland.
>>724290286>But dk isles doesn't even have any fossils or bananas.I mean it does for emerald rush they just aren't there regularly>what if it was just an extra to go along with the emerald rush mode they were makingI just can't see it being it case that they had the DLC done, from planning to launch in only the 2 months from base to DLC, I love the game, but the feeling I got from the DLC was that it definitely was something that was planned pre-launchif they do come out with some game dev conference talk about how they did actually manage to make the DLC entirely post game launch I will kneel I wouldn't mind kneeling, I would like to see a full talk about behind the scenes of bananza, I have already read the ask the developer interviews before you mention them
>>724290283I have no idea who this >>724290414 faggot is hijacking my comment but my answer is. He's purely a function for a MP character but he solves a problem that's already been solved twice before on the fucking SNES. Superstar's enemy system and Gooey blow him out of the water on every single metric. Forcing him as the defacto "4th pillar" in every single thing makes the series lesser than it was before. Doesn't look cool, functionally a step down, not as cute as just the normal Waddle Dee just a middling copy ability put onto a barely visually distinct Waddle Dee selling the whole series so short. We're worse for his existence. Fuck him.
>>724290432This dude just reminds me of the cover of that Kirby pinball game, which reminds me of that old copypasta.
>>724262113Me.Go fuck yourself
>>724291057ANON GET OUT
>>724291037shut up, sperg.
>>724261651Marx. If Elfilin gets in, then him.
Sir kibble bros… is it still too early to lose hope
>>724262470chaotic neutral space cat god.he will ruin your planet and day for a laugh.
>>724291493look at him go
https://youtu.be/r6aHwiOa8vE?si=GLgfbqBTel9LUo1D
>>724290625no anon, I just dont wanna buy a shit 2 for ONE fucking game.
>>724261651I'd still like to see Adeleine and Nago (with a Shiro recolor) but if they don't get in I'll play Susie and Rick.
>>724292503>with a Shiro recolorFat chance considering they opted for Bick instead of Pick for Rick
>>724293098>Bick instead of Pick for Rickwhat a dick
>We're getting an Air Rider 2Still fucking crazy.
THE DARK DRAGON IS MINE
>>724261651>>724284934him
>>724261651Ribbon hasn't made it in so Waddle Doo and Dedede it is.
3rd legendary machine? Spaceship? Submarine?

>>724275696Adeleine/RibbonElifisZorah/the dark dedede racerthen either some low level enemy, maybe sir kibble, or flaming leo. or a miniboss. master hand to rep amazing mirror would be God tier, but likely fluerina or clawine.
>>724276330he is yes. along with dark meta knight
>>724276672>hades final fight on 9.0the cursor to line up medusa is just fucking impossible to controlIt's real dog shit.plus lightning tower with club is not fun
>>724276989reminder the fecto elifis' prison room is the basis of nova hearts.
>>724262470yeah you are correct, that said Kirby lore is absolutely absurd an old precursor race known as the ancients one day gained a doomsday prophecy which turned out to be true captured an invading alien to escape their world using warp technology gained from said alien escaping to another dimension where they settled and built machines that shot across the stars, however there were people already there but the ancients feared their magic and used their tech banish them across the universe, it's unclear if they are still around but their tech is and it's powerful and extremely dangerous capable of writing history, bringing back the dead or sealing away powerful warriors that can destroy planets
>>724277146should we screencap your post to mock you when release comes and you are wrong?
>>724262961>>724263051>>724283946>>724291413is nova sentient?does he have hopes? does he have dreams?
>>724279949>>724280767>I know I said there'd only be one map...and frankly remaking the original to fit the new game and its higher speed would be a lot of work>,,,,so i decided fuck it I'm gonna do it as your day1 patchyour reaction?
>>724296909Given that the other ancient machines are, yeah most likely he is the lor star cutter is made of the same stuff plus star dream was to some extent then there's the whole nichel thing...
>>724284365damn that's really good.hopefully i can drum up a decent idea or 2.
>>724261651it is slime time.
>>724284596splat2 and 3 had a testfire as did ARMS.it's becoming quite common which is very good.>>724284603just a joke bro. calm down. a li'l funny. a chuckle. no biggie. :3
>>724296830I only just now realized he has the cat face because it makes him look like those cat clocks with the moving eyes
>>724286758i really wasn't gonna buy one....buuut...i need a meta knight amiibo and i adore shadow star.so.there goes 50 burgers.
>>724261314No you're not, even a crossover with Persona5 couldn't sell anyone on Slopworlds
>>724261181I hope this game kills Mario kart world entirely
>>724261651Dedede will be main.Adeleine will be sub if she ends up making itFar less realistically, if by some miracle the Ripple Star Fairy Queen or Nago make it I'll be subbing them. I don't think Fairy Queen has a chance and the Dream Land 3 buddies are usually shafted anyway.The king will be first are foremost, however.
>>724296830>muh old ancient powerful people>absurdKirby autists are fucking cancer. The lore is only slightly interesting at best
>>724291037Ignore the other retard.I agree with you.Losing Gooey for some 20 years was fucking dumb and we only got a spear only ally out of it.Banada Dee isn't even an interesting mix on Spear, unlike Meta Knight for Sword or King Dedede for hammer.Bananda Dee would be way better if the spear shaft could open into an umbrella, or his dash was using the boar enemies, or down aerial shooting beam whips or something. but its's just basic bitch spear.
Retarded sperg
>>724297429indeed, all the objects attached on it's outside contribute to astrology save for the piano keys, though given the lore in star crossed world...it makes sense.
>>724293098he cute.Fuck why does the game have so many good characters? I can't main him, daroach and gooey all at once
>>724297595Maybe he isn't playing it on Steam
>>724297697Would be nice to see the Ripple star's queen be playable in any way.
>>724297717the same could be said for any lore, no need for sour grapes.
>>724296909yes it/he is sentient.as for hopes and dreams....probably?His '''brother''' star dream from planet robobot certainly had its own aspirations and goals beyond what haltmann desired.so Nova likely does too. but we've not seen any hints of what they might be so far.
>>724296754pics?
>>724297774After watching Sakurai's Youtube video on KSS I'm almost certain NOVA's design was repurposed from the clock themed endboss of that scrapped game mode he talked about. It's way too good to have just been thrown in at the end of the story like that.
>>724297774how does a light bulb or weather vain contribute to astrology?>paino keys for nichelwould be ludo if true
>>724298062>'''heart''' in a capsule>surrounded by four towering pillars in a stark metallic circular room>elifis is the basis of the warp tech used by ancients and novas
>>724298082>was repurposed from the clock themed endboss of that scrapped game mode he talked abouti never watched that vid. tell me more. what was the mode going to be?
>>724298289what's even more interesting is that nova doesn't have those pillars in super star but the air riders stages does have them.
>>724261651I'm afraid I'm an edgelord, since I primarily want to play Metaknight, Magalor, Marx, Scarfy, and DaroachThat being said I'll also often use Kirby a lot to not distract from the character of the machines
>>724298589You just posted the pillar anon.The weak points with the gem batteries or whatever are the pillars.Nova always had them.
>>724298154well the weather would be pretty important to star gazing, the lightbulb seems like it'd be for general "this represents idea's/ingenuity" which as we know the ancients had that in spades.
>>724298841I meant more so the ones that stick out of the wall side ways, I should of clarified that.
>>724298842this smug fucker needs to be killed. then smelted.then cast upon the solar wind.which leads all his bits into a black hole
>>724298331It was called "Kagero Mansion" and sounds like something out of a creepypasta. Kirby was supposed to go into the haunted mansion of an evil wizard and get a cursed placed on him that prevented him from opening his mouth, which would disable copy abilities, flight, and even health power ups. It was describe as being a horror themed game with RPG elements where you'd have to use limited resources and solve puzzles in the mansion to escape. One example was that you'd find a candle that would function as the fire ability. The end reveal was that the wizard was dead the whole time and a "sentient wall clock" that belonged to him was the actual villain all along.It was cut for being way too ambitious for something in a single KSS subgame. Apparently no actual development went into it and this is the only piece of concept art from it that exists.
I would sacrifice every non kirby character, all the customization features, and maybe even top ride combined, just to get a second city trial map
>>724298918WTFH?This sounds great honestly.Why in the fuck did Hal never pick it back up?This would be a great spin off. I hope we get a revival of this now that they went 3d.>will just cannonize mini-novasthe utter horror indeed
It hasn't been mentioned directly yet but I hope the local play with online capabilities aren't as fucked as they were with SSBU. It shows a spot for a second player to join during the online segment, so I'm hopeful. Air Ride 2 was a never ever for years for me, but if I can't play couch multiplayer with my bro and online at the same time it'll make saving the $600 much easier
>>724297974kirby has it being interesting with it being 2 ancient ones that we know of, one magical one technological, plus a probable even older one from where Elfilis came from.
>>724296235>spoilerwould be funny seeing it fingerboarding a machine
If Adeleine does get in I want her to be separate from Ribbon.
>>724283562You could argue that Bandana Dee does not belong to KSS since he was only included in the remake and therefore is a Kumazaki character
why should I buy a switch 2 + air riders if I don't care for the original air ride?
Owned every Nintendo hardware. I have zero interest in a Kirby racing game
Kirby eats a fuck ton, but what will happen when he finally needs to shit? Will the world end?
>>724298965that's how you kill 50% of the interest in the game.
>>724289229The Modern Anti Bias Allegations or the Ado/Ribbon Allegations?
>>724290414You know what other names are mouthfuls that are currently in Smash?>Mr. Game & Watch>Rosalina & Luma>Banjo & Kazooie
Haven't had the energy to watch the new direct when the first one was nearly an hour with how Sakurai goes into super autistic detail. What are the new key takeaways, and are there more racing courses?
>>724268347It's funny because it's the opposite for me. I like the gameplay in a lot of Kirby games but the cutesy setting makes it take it less seriously as a series and lessens the appeal for me. And I'm not that strict when it comes to that, Mario is just the right amount of cartoony for me.
>>724308849just watch it you lazy fuckhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZHYjYHHiBM
>>724298918>Kirby’s Mansion before Luigi’s MansionThat would have been insane

>>724284934>You can't get over how adorable he is without his maskTrue.

>>724316476bro...
>>724288894>I've almost certainly trained more these in smash than you ever have>>it's not even comparableYeah, I've also trained a few, that's how I know it doesn't amount to any real content, retard.>it's all CPU behaviours and you arguing for lessBecause CPU behavior is quite literally not any addition nor subtraction to content, it's a modifier.>you are literally arguing for it to be restricted from you for zero reason, WHY?And I turn it back to you, WHY does it matter that you have a feature to modify CPU behavior that is quite literally pointless without the incentive of having some sense of attachment to the plastic that allows you to do so? >the fucking reality of it is that you are in fact arguing for lessAs I said before, a modification in CPU behavior is not "less" or "more", because it's no real content.>gameplay options being locked awayAnd it's this black and white worldview that makes you look retarded, what sense does it make to fucking train an AI without the incentive of the fucking toy existing? That's why it's a nothingburger feature that exists BECAUSE of the toy and doesn't subtract at all from normal gameplay.You think Nintendo didn't fucking learn their lesson with locking away actually important content behind Amiibo? That was one of their biggest criticisms during the Wii U era, like locking entire maps in Fire Emblem, a full mode in Mario Party 10, etc. They were rightfully called out for it and stopped doing it, which is why both the Smash and Air Riders implementation is as non-intrusive as possible while still giving an incentive to purchase the toy.>cosmetic is more important than something that can effect gameplay massivelyBecause cosmetics, as stated before, is actual REAL content that can be added/subtracted, retard, affecting gameplay is a non-argument because you're literally talking about fucking CPU behavior.>DK bananza's DLC, kill yourselfBack to you, retard, stop spreading misinfo about Bananza.
>>724261651Bandana Dee and Scarfy, find which one I prefer or just alternate
>>724261651My favorite suicide bomber, Scarfy. It's always been my favorite Kirby enemy.
>>724318164>that is quite literally pointless without the incentive of having some sense of attachment to the plastic that allows you to do so?>what sense does it make to fucking train an AI without the incentive of the fucking toy existing?you realise there are people who do exactly that, buy blank NPC tags just to be able to fight with/train against their own AI fighter, it's largely intrinsic fun although there are some smaller rewards you can get from training them, it's always retarded that you have to buy something outside of the game to access something that's in the game at launch>a modification in CPU behavior is not "less" or "more", because it's no real content.so why does sakurai bother including 9 CPU levels, "it's not real content" so why bother spending all that time developing them, testing them, I guess you'd be okay if every single CPU in the game acted in the exact same manner every single time because any modification "isn't real content", you have to realise how silly you're sounding>They were rightfully called out for it and stopped doing it, which is why both the Smashyeah, you have no idea what you're talking about, smash was the first amiibo line, so I don't know why you're acting like it's implementation was some kind of response to criticism of yet non-existent amiibo/games>Because cosmetics, as stated before, is actual REAL content that can be added/subtracted, retard, affecting gameplay is a non-argumentif you actually put cosmetics above gameplay possibilities in terms of what consists of a video game's content, if you truly believe that, we can never see eye to eyea ryu's slightly warmer white gi color is never going to be more valuable to me than having trainable CPU challengers, sorry
>>724262921Hopefully the marketing capitalizes on this. I think if they smash together quick cuts of Stadium events and such, it would help the layman dispel the “but I have Mario Kart” instinct and position it more as a party/arcade game type of experience
