What went wrong?
>>725985531Kirby Air Riders is coming out not even half a year after Mario Kart
>>725985531The overuse of costumed characters and enemies as separate playable characters and the open world gimmick
>>725985694Air Riders is more for battle mode enthusiasts. If you're the type of guy who hates battle modes in kart racers and only likes the racing, you'll probably like MKW more even with its faults.
>>725985531A combination of a wasted and poor execution of the grand main attractions that were the open world and 24 racer count, the clear as day fucked development (shoddy character animations, roster design, and unlock process), and the usual sneering contempt Nintendo has for player freedom in the form of forced intermissions.I'd fully welcome a "MKW Deluxe" years down the road that actually delivers what we deserve with actual good characters, an open world with actual cool shit in it, more battle modes, more courses, and 200cc.
