2 weeks left bros!Main?Air Ride?Race or City Trials?Are you playing Air Ride on Dolphin to train?Is it worth to buy the Switch 2 Pro controller for this game?
>>724912701Meta Knight, probablyWheelie Scooter, probably. I also like Tank and Transform.City Trial, probablyI played a bit of Air Ride on my Wii on CRt the other day.
Gooey and Daroach. Jet Star was my favorite in the original, it's like the Winged Star's cooler cousin. Transform and Paper Star look cool too. City Trial, of course. But races look much better this time around, though City Trial is where it's at. I played the original again in August, I was gonna clear the checklist again for AR and CT but other games came out.
>>724912701quite honestly the worst kirby game. Sakurai is making a sequel in order to try rectifying that fact but it wont happen, Air Ride sucks on the face of it.
>>724912701>Main?Marx for Air Ride, Knuckle Joe for City Trial.>Air Ride?Battle Chariot.>Race or City Trials?Race first, then after a week or so City Trial.>Are you playing Air Ride on Dolphin to train?Trying to complete the checklists. I feel training for the original Air Ride courses is pointless because the quick spin exploit is most certainly not coming back. At best you just memorize the best alternate routes to take. Sakurai himself said the time records will differ due to the increased speed of the new engine.>Is it worth to buy the Switch 2 Pro controller for this game?I say it's worth it to get it in general for everything. I use docked mode exclusively and I don't want my Joy-Cons to drift again.
>>724912701>>724914475Switch 1 Pro controllers work with the Switch 2, so if you have one of those, just use that (Unless you really want to use the new stuff)
>>724912701>Main?Waddle Doo, King Dedede. If Ribbon is in, then it's her.>Air Ride?HENSHIN Star & Tank Star seem like a lot of fun. If I can't get comfortable in either then good ol swerve star will do.>Race or City Trials?I live for City Trials but I want to play a lot more Air Ride this time around.>Are you playing Air Ride on Dolphin to train?No.>Is it worth to buy the Switch 2 Pro controller for this game?I don't know, I'm gonna use my 8bitdo pro 3 and call it a day.
>>724912701>2 weeks left bros!>Main?>Air Ride?>Race or City Trials?>Are you playing Air Ride on Dolphin to train?>Is it worth to buy the Switch 2 Pro controller for this game?lol nice shill attempt but I will NOT be buying this game!
Do you still have to flick the stick to do the spin? I know the entire point was to not use buttons, but stick drift bro...
isn't the switch 2 pro controller worse than the switch one? I heard its slightly smaller and becomes uncomfortable to use after some time. Also, did they say how the online demo is gonna work? Its the main 3 modes online but no lobbies and stuff right?
>>724916406You can remap buttons. I'm putting spin to one of the left shoulder buttons if possible
>>724912701>mainThem>machineWhatever I feel like that day>Race or City Trials?Both. What kind of casual faggot do you take me for?>Are you playing Air Ride on Dolphin to train?No, I'm playing my copy that I've had since I was 12.>Is it worth to buy the Switch 2 Pro controller for this game?You do still have your Gamecube adapter, right? Just use that.
>>724916643>Its the main 3 modes online but no lobbies and stuff right?It's only Air Ride (3 courses) and City Trial. Yes there are lobbies (Paddocks) with up to 16 players.
>Only one city trial mapWhy?
>>724916406>>724916850Yeah, everything can be mapped to 1 button.>>724916643>isn't the switch 2 pro controller worse than the switch one? I heard its slightly smaller and becomes uncomfortable to use after some timeI tried it in a store for 1 minute and it feels better. The stick is smoother and the back buttons are what you expect.Also, I just got a reminder : The Gyro is better on Switch 2 Pro controller. I saw japanese players highlight this on twitter. It's faster and more accurate.Damn, maybe I should buy one because Splatoon 4 will be out someday and we got MP4 soon.
>>724917069Recapture that magic with something new.
>>724916850>>724917253Sakurai is amazing. He's carrying Nintendo.
>>724917253>no spin remappingAnon...
>>724912701AirRider?I just met her?
I'm a little sad my favorite explosive elf is relegated to just being an animated JPG in Road Trip mode. Ah well. Maybe we'll get Poppy Bros Sr. and Mr. Frosty like in the N64 prototype.
>>724912701>Main?Bandana Dee. Do we know that the full game won't have any more fighters? Or is it a smash 4 situation where a handful of them just weren't revealed before launch?>Air Ride?No clue.>Race or City Trials?Race.>Are you playing Air Ride on Dolphin to train?Never played the original despite being a gamecube zoomer.
should I get up at 3am on Saturday to play the first wave of the demo?
I've never played air ridershould I buy this?I liked smash run on smash 3ds
>>724922023There will be an online demo this weekend and next weekend, give it a try first.
>>724922324I hate that they're being coy about which characters and machines you can choose from. Is it all of the revealed riders so far or only a few?
>>724922582Most likely the latter, would surmise a small selection of characters. Might have a good selection of vehicles depending on how neutered city trial is
>>724922023If you liked Smash run I can't imagine not liking City Trial
>>724922324It's kind of weird that Top Ride isn't part of the demo when it's the most barebones mode.
>>724922324>The hat cannot be transferred to the full gameWhat lol
>>724922023Smash run is just not-as-good City Trial. Same general concept but City Trial's much bigger due to being a main mode instead of a tiny side attaction.
>>724925931They did the same thing in splatoon. Just a "look at me I boughted already" for the demo, it is in the full game but you have to unlock it normally, preorder or not.
>>724926051Oh ok, that's cool if it's normal unlock.
>>724926051BOUGHT already. Not boughted. Boughted is not a word.
>>724926279Its boughted
>>724923718Actually you know what, it could be the same as the PAX West demo build from August, so it'll only have characters and machines from the 1st direct, not the 2nd direct.I thought about it and maybe it is a good thing we don't get a taste of everything right off the bat. It builds anticipation and lets you have something to look forward to in the final release. Plus, all the metafagging whores can't datamine the Switch 2, and only having half the roster of riders and machines won't paint a full picture just yet, so it gives me hope for the early days of online.
>>724922324Even though I'm excited for the game, I will be skipping the demo so I can get the full experience day one.
I'm excited but man i can already predict the online is gonna be annoying as hell given half the people jumping in are Smash refugees
>>724928708You do you, but I don't understand. It's not like Road Trip is part of the demo.
>>724929297Im waiting to play the game with my bro. Feels weird getting a head start.
Is there a reason Nintendo is pushing racing games so hard on the Switch 2? Is the market for racing games really that huge/popular? I never cared for them myself. I understand capturing the nostalgic dollar for Air Rider fans who played it on Gamecube, hell even I myself have fond memories of playing hours of city trials with a friend or even with NPC's. You had that fusion game? Then Mario Kart: World was the BIG title game for the console's release, then Sonic Crossworlds, and now Kirby Air Rider. At least we'll be getting more RPG's and action/adventure stuff later on it seems. You have Metroid Prime 4 coming on December 4th. I just find it odd they're releasing so many big racing games back to back. Do you people really play racing games that much? I heard a lot of people dropped Mario Kart: World after like a few days and honestly didn't even like it. I've also heard Sonic Crossworlds is about 10x more enjoyable to play.
Is Marx a character you need to unlock? what are the various ways to unlock him? i want him as soon as possible and want to start the story mode with him
>>724929714people dropped Mario Kart World because the online only lets you do one singular lap on a unique race course with Sonic 06 tier loadtimes, Crossworlds and Air Riders are pretty much nabbing all the attention because of that.
>>724929863I only ever played City Trails in Air Riders anyway. I don't really give a fuck about the races. I think playing against other anons in City Trials will be fun though. I never took it seriously, but it was always fun dicking around, trying to get legendary machine parts, and seeing the city events.
>>724929974the new game has a bunch of bosses, it'd be pretty neat if they used that to make an online boss rush as well
