Kirby is for babies

This game's existence is beyond baffling. Nobody even cared about the first one outside of “that game you rented for a weekend” or “your cousin happened to have it and you messed around for a few hours”

easy: 1 city

>>737967523
>for a few hours
It was the game that you played at every get-together even if only one of your friends had it.

This should've been a battle royale game set in city trial. Switch2 didn't need another racing game when MKW exists.

>>737967874
I would have liked it if they set story mode in City Trial, like it were Diddy Kong Racing. Accessing the tracks all over the city, meeting criteria to unlock the next ones, having those boss fights at the end of each string of them.

>>737966930
This game is good for about 45 minutes with City Trials and maybe an Air Ride before it gets old and players want to move onto something else.

>>737967523
japan carried this game's sales, this game was for them

>>737966930
>$70 for a spinoff that most players won't get lots of playtime out of
>released right after Mario Kart World (look, *I* know that it's not the same kind of racing/vehicle game, but most people saw it as "another cartoon Nintendo racer" having released less than six months after the last one)
>exclusive to a system that didn't have many compelling bigger-fish exclusives to help buoy it and it's not much better now

>>737966930
content filled? in what way?
felt like there wasn't that much to it

Multiplayer games need consistent post-launch content or else everyone will just move onto something else once they feel like theyve seen everything

>>737966930
this should've been a free minigame in animal crossing or smt

>>737968443
top ride, air ride, city trial, and road trip, local split screen and game share, online multiplayer, every mode has challenges, each one unlocks something, air riders, music, courses, characters, stickers, you can create your own air riders, share them online with player held auctions, you can host paddocks, it's packed to the brim

the real issue with this game is the content feels very repetitive.

>>737966930
The game has no substance. All the game modes are surface level and feel completely random, rather than a mix of randomness and skill.

>>737967523
stop copy pasting this shit retard

>>737967874
Honestly would have been better if it was like f zero 99 and they focus on the battle royale shit as an included NSO game.

>>737971858
>The game has no substance.
It's all substance, sometimes it's easy to forget modern "gamers" are allergic to it.

>>737966930
You aren't going to get a lot of honest answers here when 95% of /v/ has never played it

>>737972017
There’s no acceleration button you dumb nigger lol

Honestly?
It's because of the Kirby brand under a racing game does not sell well. Especially when there's no DLC to give it more legs

>>737966930
Mario Kart World killed it. Kirby should have released first and had a year for itself.

baby game + switch 2 exclusive + nobody asked for this

>>737972127
break boost mogs acceleration

I really like it but I haven't had time for a lot of the large session gaming Kirby deserves, plus when we have lobbies here I'm often at work

A racing game and the first thing they do is to replace actual racing with an open world party game that is 5 minutes long with a crude minigame at the end.

I would have purchased it if the content focused on racing, which looked good and felt great in the demo.

>>737973965
you do know that racing is a massive part of it, right

>>737971905
It somehow keeps getting (You)s after all this time so why would he

>>737966930
I wonder if this was an upcoming release instead, how much would it cost? Digital for Yoshi's gonna be $60, Splatoon Raiders $50. This game would still be pushing it at $50.

>>737973965
saar I not play game
but I have opinion saar

>>737976243
>Yoshi's gonna be $60, Splatoon Raiders $50
digital for both is 50, physical for both is 60

>>737967523
That's my experience, played it for a day and I was satisfied, fun multiplayer but no staying power

The existence of Mario Kart World. This game is excellent but simply can't compete. Everyone trying to make their own mascot racer in 2025 was horrible timing, Mario Kart is just on its own level completely.

it doesn't grip me the same way the original did
i could go play city trial against CPUs in the original and not get bored for hours, air riders just doesn't hit the same
the map is too big and a nuisance to navigate, there are lots of annoying pits and fences
it would've been nice if they also included the original city trial map so you could play with less bloat if you only had a few players

>>737980074

fucking mandella effect, I remember the whole excitement online about how they were dropping the price down, and the whole time I thought "good, it shouldn't be $70"

>>737970494
But the top down mode feels mostly like you are barely playing a game, I couldn't believe it was an entire "mode". Besides running through each course once and doing City Trial a couple of times, I felt like the game was over. It was probably the game I regretted buying the most in the last decade or so, purely out of nostalgia for the first one.

>>737966930
A sports game with Kirby is still a Sports game.
And the primary audience for Sports games is normie men ages 14-40

>>737982168>He plays skateboarding games
The only reason a proper gamer would ever get into sports games is if they grew up with an N64 and so only had like 3 good games to a genre at best.

>>737966930
It didn't have staying power on the Gamecube.
Why would you think such a niche title would do better the second time?

>>737981594
By the way, getting that screenshot was slightly more convoluted than it needed to be. Just doing a direct Print Screen capture didn't work because the price list is a dropdown menu, and any input that wasn't clicking on one of the options immediately made the list disappear. I had to download a goddamn Firefox extension to capture it.

>>737982385
Or, and get this, the gamer is also someone that plays sports or skateboards in real life. I know that can be hard for people that never go outside to comprehend

>>737983704
Someone who does that can play games but they certainly not a gamer, gamers have gaming as their primary hobby to the detriment of others when forced to choose and sports or skateboarding IRL are to time consuming to fully embrace gaming otherwise.

>>737984368
That's a nice cope, but there is plenty of time to have active hobbies and still game a lot

Because it and the first one are the kind of games people pretend to care about and they gas up Sakurai as if he doesn't fuck up like everyone else.

>>737966930
I play it more than Mario Kart World because there are always fun online events going on like the current Top Ride event that restricts the machines you can choose.

>>737966930
No updates.

why are there no switch 2 games almost a year in

>>737987225
They're taking forever to make games now due to making a full generational level leap in fidelity for the first time in nearly 15 years, and EPD's growing insistence on having some kind of intricate physics/interaction related gimmick in their 3D games. Nintendo were banking on the SMG movie being enough in people's eyes to tide them over and have an extra year or so to get their next big game ready to show off without attracting too many wolves at ol' Nintendo's door.

>>737981594
Good news because certain burger retailers have it for $60 and are eating the $10 increase themselves to match the price of digital.

This is fantastic for customers like us so I won't complain, but this can't be great for Nintendo's end.

Looks like Pokopia is the only recent game here that's actually selling worth a damn.

It's an enjoyable game, enough that I did all the checklists, but outside that you have racing with two different modes and city trial, and while the latter is the most replayable, it's not hard to figure out how to generally get 10+ in most of your stats every time. I'm still shocked they didn't make a larger version of the old City Trial map just so there was more than one map. Road Trip is also neat the two times you have to do it, but I don't know who would do it once for every character (since you get an icon every time you beat it with somebody).

I still find myself coming back to mess around with it, but ultimately it just doesn't have enough content to keep me going for too long.

I'm talking from personal experience here: I have no idea what this game is even trying to be. Stealing cars? Eating food? Racing? Minigames? I genuinely don’t know what the fuck is going on.
One minute you're wandering around a city with zero objective, and then suddenly it turns into a straight‑line race against one player only. What is this design philosophy supposed to be?
The game has no internal logic at all, and that’s exactly why it has zero staying power. Pick a genre and commit. Right now it feels like five half‑baked ideas duct‑taped together.

You must be having a hard time understanding City Trial because there's nothing to compare it with.

>>737988602
I'm not sure what my race has to do with your inability to understand your own evidence. I'm white, but that's irrelevant. What is relevant is that the video you linked actually supports my position. You've essentially done my work for me.

I love these Air Riders doomposting threads, seeing so many people trying to paint the game as a TORtanic-level failure makes my balls tingle.

>>737988327
I know that feel, man, it's incredibly hard for me to understand racing games, too, especially ones with more options than just driving in a circle.

>>737988851
You gain stats in the bumper car arena to prepare for the final challenge, adapting to any opportunities given to you for a better machine. What's so hard to understand?

>>737988821
Yeah, I do. I tried to get into it, but I just couldn’t wrap my head around City Trial. Not understanding what the game wanted from me definitely hurt my enjoyment.
>>737989039
Yeah, that’s kinda how it felt for me too.
>>737989041
>What's so hard to understand?
The confusing part for me wasn’t the stats, it was the actual goal. The final challenge never felt clear, and after ~10 hours I still didn’t really know what the mode wanted from me. It just throws a ton of stuff at you and expects you to adapt instantly.

>>737989815
Did you never play Smash 3DS? It has a similar mode called Smash Run that was basically the Smash equivalent to City Trial.

>>737989815
Did you play Smash 4 on 3DS? City Trial is just that game's Smash Run mode, but 3D and more hectic. You collect stats while exploring the map, then face off against each other in an event where you have to hope the stats you did get help you win. It's simple fun but I get why it would be confusing

Needed more content, at least another map for city trial and twice as many tracks for air ride.

Hmmm, I think I get what you’re both saying. I’ll probably boot up my 3DS this summer and revisit it, then maybe give Air Ride another shot.

Blows my mind they wouldn't do character dlc. It's not like you are making a smash moveset.

I love the game, but it’s still inherently niche. And it leans way more into fun than real competition, so it doesn’t attract sweaty dedication. And there is a lot of content, but no one plays Top Ride or Air Ride by themselves. Top Ride should have been a stadium minigame, and Air Ride should be one much more frequently. I still play it now and then, but I’ve gotten more time out of Mario Kart World

It's the first time since Pokémon Stadium that a game was so fun that it made me wish not sleep thinking about how much I wanted to play it.

For me its was garbage matchmaking.
Splitting the playerbase into 3 modes, with 2 types of searches for each plus a seventh event mode spread the playerbase far to thin. AND on top of that you had lobbies which weren't that great unless they were an organized discord or thread. The normal searching methods gave you like 50% bots and 50% real people even at launch.

>>737974112
Every single comment and webm is about city trial, telling people the game is all about city trial, how they just play city trial with friends, how the map of city trial is.

Racing is clearly just some secondary aspect

>>737994851
Unironically accurate lmfao..

>>737966930
Because it's literally just a polished version of a game released 25 years ago. There's very, very little new content and what IS new isn't nearly enough to keep players hooked. Many others seem to agree, hence why the online scene is nearly dead already

Care to prove me wrong then instead of shitting and farting to cope with your buyer's remorse? The new tracks are nice, but nothing else they added was significant enough to warrant the asking price.
City Trial was the biggest selling point of the original. Despite this, it still only has one singular map. And the story mode attached to it is just the OG's checklist painted in a different color.

This has to be a joke right? This is the entire reason nobody cares about it anymore, it doesn't have enough in it to be compelling. The amount of content in the first game wasn't acceptable even back then, I can't believe they couldn't do any better 23 years later. Especially for 70 fucking bucks too what a joke, at least the original was only $20 that was the only reason I even bought it at the time. It has the least number of tracks. I have ever seen in a kart racer, outside of the first game of course. There's only 18 tracks and half of them are just the ones from the first game copy and pasted in. They're also really just not very interesting to race on for the most part, they're pretty fucking bog standard and some of them look and feel exactly the same as the first games tracks, which again they already included so whats the fucking point. The singleplayer mode is the most boring fucking slog ever too and to put the cherry on the shit sundae they make you play it TWICE just to unlock a character.

They also fumbled what should've been the games easiest slam dunk, in online City Trial they just let you pick the finale event you want to do so you don't even get to compete with everyone you just played with since not everyone picks the same event and it takes away the fun of seeing if you collected the right stats while playing.

Sakurai can't make racing games just keep him in the Smash sweatshop.

>>737999810
The tracks are actually really great. And they’re not very similar at all, aside from the starting grass one. That’s just a fucking idiotic thing to say. But the mechanics are simple, so every race ends up with people being within a second of each other and feeling like you had no real control over your victory or loss. Singleplayer mode would’ve been really good if it cut off the first 30% of ramp up. But the finales are worth it, so stop bitching. The change to stadium selection is not a big deal, you often are still in a situation where you build is not that suited to any challenge, and you average out to competing against the dame amount of people as the first game. Melodramatic moron

The only criticism and reason I can see why taste wouldn't allow for one to enjoy this is the high-octane clusterfuck that it can become for people who prefer a slower paced experience. Genuinely the mechanics are good, there IS variety on City Trial with events and RNG of vehicles and items, and you can make that matter as little or as much as you desire.

>One minute you're wandering around a city with zero objective
The objective of every City Trial is training your machine to win the Stadium event that follows it. It's like the forced meta of MOBAs like League of Legends, the actual city is your "landing phase" for the purpose of building up strength and resources to do your kit, THEN it's balls to the wall in the stadium event. Technically you can start going balls to the wall earlier, attacking, killing and stealing enemy rides and power up patches is a viable strategy, but that's one option of many.
I will be very charitable in pointing out that Stadiums were a lot more impactful before when the default wasn't to split the lobby into whatever Stadium you wanted to join. They should have made the default weighted voting but you had to play the event chosen. Fragmenting the event ruins the fun when other players can just choose to not do it, and it defeats the reward of choosing a good vehicle/boosts for the event going into it. In that regard, the first game did it better.

>This has to be a joke right?
what's the punch line? that all the content doesn't matter? that the dozens of things arent as good as a theoretical more dozens of things? it has a lot of content, it's multiplayer centric, it has a ton of singleplayer stuff.

>A modern racing game has a few hundred cars on 100+ tracks
none of them do

>>738008804
Aonuma is a champion, he does and says everything that is pertinent whenever the Zelda franchise is brought up to him. I swear any deriders are just nostalgia humping a 30 year old game like the industry just stopped putting out games.

>>738002996
there sum total of all gameplay variation between those 100 cars would be less than between the swerve star and slick star. Most cars in racings games are very minor stat tweaks

People defending BotW literally nostalgia hump a 40 year old game to defend its radical design changes.

God forbid the series stagnate farther than Skyward Sword.

>content filled
one (one) city trial map (again)

>>738010646
Damn the game is that expensive?

>>738012296
why do you need more than one map
the map already has a lot of variants and it's extremely tightly balanced and designed

Anon, Sonicscum were raiding and reporting decals out of pettyniess during the first month of Air Riders. And yes, they are still super pissed that their ultimate power move where Sonic used all his crossover connections and endless furscum shilling just to blown out of the water by Kirby on a single console, like a paper star crashing into a leo.

>>738013273
Nta, but get over it. They stick to eating their slop in peace now

Not to mention I remember some machines were blatantly racist or offensive, they weren't going to last. Also it's been fucking 6 months almost, either play the fucking game you like yourself or don't dude, move on with your life

It's basically like a mario kart battle mode, but instead of points or elimination, you spend 5 minutes collecting stat boosts to help in a 30 second minigame that decides the winner. There is a racing mode that is boring and even Sakurai admits City Trial is the focus so just ignore it.

I have fun but it is kinda stupid and there is almost zero strategy involved. You try grabbing as many stat boosts as you can in front of you and pick your favorite kart. You almost never know what the minigame is going to be, so if you picked a tank for a gliding minigame you're basically fucked. It's a convoluted gambling simulator.

It's hard to describe what makes this game fun that I don't blame people for giving these games a low evaluation. Honestly my goal is to just assemble dragoon and unlock stuff and I don't care much about the rest. I see flashy lights and stats go up and it makes my brain happy.

CityTrial really is just nonsense and poorly designed. There is no skill involved. I win some and lose some. By the time you reach the minigame portion you are going so fast that it's almost impossible to actually control your vehicle precisely and you are just spinning the stick. These anons replying to you acting like it's some big-brained game are retarded. Somehow I enjoy it but I can't recommend anyone risking $70 to try it.

Doubt it, tomodachi life is carried by the humor and personalization, the demo simply allows people to try it for themselves.

I loved it as a kid. My friends and I would play it every weekend for hours. I was hyped to get Riders, but once I did it kinda hit me that all the (physical) friends I used to play it with are gone now, and online ones don't have a switch 2. Playing with randos just isn't the same.

epic sonictranny melty

I noticed people only like city trial because they know how to cheese it, if it was fair and balanced they would hate it.

it can't stay around if no-one bought it to begin with. Only Japanese people bought kirby. More Japanese people bought it than Non-Japanese people, which is a completely crazy thing to happen and has only really happened to Kirby and Splatoon

>me asking people to actually play their own game and have fun with it like the other groups do is a melty
I join the paddocks too if people still make them, but almost every time I see an Air Riders thread it's just like this, no one making paddocks, nothing. Thank goodness I can just play the game with my friends

>>738009465
>It's funny because they literally just play their own game and make their own threads for it to play together
lol lmao

I don't understand how they thought releasing this for $70 was okay. And they still didn't lower the price for some reason even though new games are at least coming out at $60.

>Sonicsnoy seething thread

>>738016121
Yes? There's literally a thread for it right now and people were playing together last night (I wasn't playing in that thread because I was playing with my friends).
I won't act like some of them didn't shit on MKW out of spite though, that's just part the course. But my point is they make threads and play their game, I never see any Air Riders paddock threads anymore, maybe once in a blue moon

>>738016249
They’re not lowering prices so that early adopters don’t throw a hissy fit

>>738016326

yup sonicsissy having an absolute melty lmfao

738016621
Brother I have no problem with you playing Air Riders, but you seem to care more about shitposting than actually playing it for some reason

sister slopnic flopped and got gaped and now you are having a melty

SonicSnoys were so mindbroken by MK World and Air Riders, it's insane.
