So thats it? Faggots cried and never shut up about wanting a new game in both of these series for over 20 years and when they actually get it they don't even fucking discuss the game or acknowledge it even a few weeks after they release?Like, People aren't even complaining about the games and when they do get mentioned its negative. Its mostly just silence. Thats fucking bad, Nintendo is dead.
>>729490063Because they're both dogshit, and the only people begging for them were Nintendo man children that played Metroid Prime and KAR on release and never played them again and just looked back on them with """"""""nostalgia"""""""".I'd say 95% of the people crying for a new game on a dormant IP only ever played the previous IP's when they were in grade school one time and if they tried playing them again today they would think they're shit.
Well the game has to be good first
>>729490063Metroid Prime 4 is the same shit as the gamecube games with no improvements except it's also open world and they shove an annoying companion down your throat. Kirby is just another kart game.
>>729490063>>729490406>>729490475>>729490579do you niggers even actually enjoy games or just enjoy crying and bitching about gamesand these "people" call others man children LMAO
Arlo-tier Pikminsloppers asking for this garbage. The sooner we get back to Smash, Xeno, FE, Splatoon type games that actually have longevity and passionate fanbases, the better.
>>729490662Another nintendo fan that can't handle criticism. Wow, what a surprise.
>>729490063Yepppp
These are niche franchises on a console that launched like 6 months ago and has a total installbase of ~13 million. Of course they aren't gonna get much attention retard. You will see focus on switch 2 games in 2-3 years when there are like 60 million players.
>>729490063How much discussion do you think there should be about single player and party games? You play them, see all of their content, and have nothing else left to talk about. I still play Air Riders, but what new discussion is there possible to have?
>>729490063>/v/ is full of shills and corpo worshipper droneswhat else you fucking expected?
>>729490063i dont want those gamesi want a new zelda/pokemon/mario game
>>729490705Another brownoid who wishes he was white. Wow, what a surprise.
>>729490063Shut up
>>729490743Whats the most erotic part of the fame for you?
We've had Kirby Air Rider paddock threads at least once per weekend since launch.
>>729490063I never asked for another Kirby Air Ride because I never played the original.I liked Beyond ok, it's like a mixture of Echoes and Corruption, I don't really have much more to say about it other than that the controversy was retarded as was feed by outrage grifters and snoys who don't have anything to play so they spend all day online peddling lies.
>>729490063they're playing the games instead of ragebaiting online, retard
>>729490579>open world and they shove an annoying companion down your throat.Both of these statements are false, the "open world" is a central hub that can be traversed from corner to corner in 3 minutes, the rest of the game is entirely linear.The "companion" is one of several characters that you rescue along the story, and the one that sticks with you the least out of all of them.
I like the Air Riders game but I feel it is lacking content for the price.
>>729490063I've been loving Air Riders, the original is one of my favorite games ever. Not sure what you want me to say about it, we don't have FOMO shit and dogshit DLC to force conversation like Crossworlds does.
>>729490063rest in piss Nintendo
>>729490063I think the world is just in a miserable state right now. If these games released in year 1 or year 2 Switch era in the exact same state they're in now, they'd perform the same sales-wise but be looked upon and talked about way more fondly. Talking about Nintendo in a positive light right now doesn't garner any form of interest from general consumers, and that dissuades content creators from wanting to do it. The Switch 1 brought a huge content glut with it because it was fun and new, so creators couldn't shut the fuck up about it and consumers had a large environment to discuss the games with other people. 2025 was essentially the year of ragging on "Nintendo's boundless greed" to the point that it received the most news coverage out of any tech company this year by far. Anyone who wants to talk about the shiny new Switch 2 games they enjoy is just gonna do it in private.The narrative is going to have to shift drastically if you ever want to see people be normal about Nintendo again and even then, weird grifters and bots are still going to try to poison the well of any decent discussion. I imagine whenever the next 3D Mario or 3D Zelda rolls along is about when something like that could happen.
>>729495157Or maybe there's no cabal hatching a grand conspiracy, and the Switch 2 and most of Nintendo's recent games are simply underwhelming?
>>729495273The Switch 2 is pricey, and MP4B specifically is underwhelming, but the other games for Switch 2 haven't been. He didn't call it a conspiracy, it's more like a vibe shift, as cringy as that term is.
>>729490063I don't think anyone wanted another Air Ride all that much.
>>729495273I didn't mention a cabal hatching a grand conspiracy or anything remotely similar to that. I don't think the real ass shit I described is the work of some invisible hand pulling strings, that's just the nature of discourse and common perception. It's not a stretch or an exaggeration to say that most Nintendo discourse and Nintendo journalism is centered around negative sensationalism, it's not a conspiracy it's just what people are choosing to focus on. The same way a bunch of people will sit and spectate two rappers calling each other names for 3 months just because it's the viral story of the season.Even if these games ARE "simply underwhelming" they still would be reflected upon far more fondly if they were year 1 and 2 Switch 1 games, because people wouldn't have an implicit bias against talking about them online. I said what I said because I think the vast majority of year 1 and 2 Switch 1 games were incredibly underwhelming but were still looked upon fondly and had lots of content made about them.
>>729495568>implying that MKW is not in exactly the same boat as Prime 4 in being a big step down from the previous entry and hamstrung by Nintendo's retarded open world fetishBananza was the same shit as well. What does our series mostly comprised of tight, 2d platformers need? An open world collectathon! Metroid fans just have higher standards than the average tendie is all.
>>729495663Sorry you didn't get your open world slop Zelda #3 or open world slop Mario #2, I'm sure they're coming soon toxoplasmosis poster.
>>729495904I tried the demo for Bananza and I just don't get it. Is the whole game just breaking/punching shit and collecting shinies? The impression I got is that Bananza isn't even a junk food game, it's pure sugar. Constant noise and bright colors with no rhyme or reason.
>>729490063I see air riders threads all the time and they seem reasonably happy. Its biggest problem is that the lack of games for the switch 2 has placed greater expectations on it than would ordinarily be appropriate for a kirby spinoff racing game. And nintendo's price hike.And prime 4 is just simply not that good. That's nintendo's fault, not the fans'.
>>729495904you do not play video games
>>729490063>That Kirby Air Riders title logoThe fuck were they thinking? Looks like shit. it just plain. GC Air Ride had a more stylish logo.
>>729490662/v/ doesn’t play games
>>729490063Dread and Forgotten Land were both kino.
>>729496019I don't want any of those. I want another Kid Icarus Uprising, which would be a much better use of Sakurai's talents rather than another Kirby racing game.
>>729490063If a developer makes me wait to long I just cease giving a fuck. Especially if they put out garbage in the meantime. Bethesda is another prime example, I have been a TESfag for like 20 years and I just simply don't give a shit about the franchise anymore. The last TGA's were there last chance to make me care but they are taking too long.
>>729496251I think too many fanboys seem to treat the Switch 2 as merely an extension of the Switch 1 because of BC, and that's why they cut these games and decisions so much slack. They're treating them as additions to an existing system.
>>729490063>Faggots cried and never shut up about wanting a new game in both of these seriesThe fuck are you talking about, literally nobody asked for a new Kirby's Air ride, everyone was completely surprised by the announcement (in a good way). Metroid, sure, but don't drag kirby into your shitposting.
>>729495157in year 1 switch they'd both sell 1-2 million more than they have. year 1 switch was crazy with even shit like Octopath Traveler easily breaking 2 million sales
>>729490063I loved Metroid, but the second you open your mouth about it there's a cavalcade of people who will tell you that no you didn't enjoy that game.The funniest thing about Metroid Prime 4 is that there was a huge push by faggots like arlo for an open world metroid prime and when they got it they hated it, why anyone would listen to retard youtubers is beyond me.
>>729495664Let me spell out why there is so much negativity; no one else itt has even touched on it: they fucked up mario kart. They had over a decade to make a mario kart entry, which is their highest selling game as a brand, and they produced a turd. That failure alone accounts for the shift towards negative nintendo sentiment. Now tack on the death by a thousand cuts of negative online press from their litigious asshole ways, other lackluster launch games, "high" console price, key cards instead of real physical games, charging for fucking welcome tour, delaying the switch 2 launch for over a year and then releasing without zelda or mario, and the list goes on. What fucking positive news out of Nintendo is there to even latch onto?
>>729496859Mario Kart World is great nigga, it's not flawless, but the actual tracks and racing is some of the most fun the series has ever had, and Knockout tour is also awesome. Don't act like this negativity started with Mario Kart, it started way before that and largely feels manufactured.
>>729496859>they fucked up mario kartIt's great though, what are people on about, the best criticisms I've heard are minor technical ones, in which case who fucking cares, it's Mario Kart, it's casual kart racing, I don't play Mario Kart to give a fuck about minor elements, if it plays well and the tracks are good it's good, and the tracks are great, especially Rainbow Road, literally the best iteration of Rainbow Road.Bring on the DLC, I want more game.
>>729497081>needing DLC after 6 months>despite the game having so so many coursesNow why would that be, anon?
>>729490063The odds of a publisher releasing a good sequel to something drop exponentially over time and become basically zero.An indie dev or smaller publisher at least has to be desperate to release a new thing and has an excuse for taking years to do something.Normally this demand would be met with fan mods and fan games, but you know how litigious Nintendo are about those.>>729490702>Making games for the literal unwashed masses>>729490741>2 more weeks>>729493183An open world is just a bloated level select screen. BotW is also not just a hubworld, just because the shrine elevators take you to separate linear shrines. Most open worlds are very small, often just the size of a medium-sized airport, so size matters not.The NPCs stay in constant radio contact as well.
>>729497206Because I want more of a good thing, after Mario Kart 8, especially the Booster Course Pass I'm just spoiled by it and I'm accustomed to having an absurd amount of tracks that I want more tracks, it's like losing characters in Smash, sure I enjoyed later games but that content just feels like it's missing, don't know how Nintendo will follow up Smash Ultimate with a new game having half the roster.
>>729497206Any multiplayer game without a map editor and other modding tools is garbage, though the same goes for single player.You are destiny.
>>729496859They didn't "fuck up" Mario Kart. World has some of the most solid core gameplay in the franchise that is probably more accessible to people coming from different Mario Kart games than any other entry. The crime of MKW is the game having an $80 MSRP, the first of any game to have an $80 MSRP. They could've included 100 tracks, and it still would've had a negative press tour, the only difference is that people would call it "track slop" or say "yeah there's a lot of "content," but no one wants to learn all of those tracks." I know this because the majority of criticism surrounding the game now is still regurgitated week 1 talking points from figureheads about how parkour doesn't gain you spots or how the open world is empty or how intermission tracks *exist*, all of which are either not true or aren't significant enough to warrant the bad reputation the game has.This isn't really reflected in the general population and many people bought and are still happily playing the game, the internet just isn't the place for people to discuss it because that's not what the culture of Nintendo discussion online is right now. The culture of discourse is to be mad and if you're not mad, you're bootlicking.
Assmad snoy thread
>Faggots cried and never shut up about wanting a new game in both of these series for over 20 yearsI never saw any of this. Prime was finished with 3, and KAR was just a one off side game.
I'm not posting about air riders cause I'm too busy getting my dick sucked by suzies in the paddocks
>>729497489So if they fucked everything up outside the "solid core"... then they fucked it up.
>>729490063This is basically what's happening.
>>729490063Mid games
>>729490063it's because they're shit, anon.
>>729497576i have at least 2 tism friends IRL that their personalty was, "remember kirby air ride on the gamecube?" and another online person too
>>729490063Who the fuck cares about Kirby?
