Drag X Drive is waaaaay more fun than I thought it would be.

I enjoy it more than Bananza, to be honest with you.

It could be the best game ever and still be worthless garbage, it's the ugliest, corporate, soulless, westernized, DEI shit I've ever seen in my fucking life and I hope it flops.

I think this was the best era for games in general, it was the first time they could make games look like their box art, but they still had hard limits on console capabilities and file sizes, so they couldn't just churn out open world slop like they do today, they still had to make a proper game.

Yeah, 6th gen was peak. Budgets were still reasonable too, so you'd get lots of good looking, experimental, fun games. Games weren't so samey yet.
 
I mean, it looks pretty good, but I'm in Canada, and I question if it has enough content to justify a potential $100 price tag?

At the end of the day, that's the issue with Switch 2. You're not only paying $650-$700 CAD for the console, but each first party physical game is also $100, regardless of the amount of content. In fact, the Switch 2 editions of TOTK and Kirby and the Forgotten Land are $114.99 CAD.

I've never played the original, so I have no idea if it's any good, but it really annoys me that the higherups asked Sakurai to make the game.
These niggers will ask for another kart game racer when we haven't had a AAA Fzero-like racer in over two decades.

It's worth noting that the Direct and press release that followed make no mention of split screen multiplayer. I was only half watching the direct, did I miss some mention or footage of it?

No mention or footage of it.
Expect the worst
 
>gameplay with actual skill instead of luck
>actual characters, no costumes disguised as characters

fucking kek, your flagship character absolutely mogged by one of your secondary mascots. still not buying a Switch 2
 
I am surprised that Kirby Air Riders is 70 bucks.

Maybe I shouldn't be, because it's modern greed-filled Nintendo, but I thought for sure that this game would get the Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker treatment and be sold for 40 or 50 instead of 70. It looks more interesting than Mario Kart World, and thank god the entire game is not poisoned with open world garbage, but I look at this, and I look at Bananza, despite my personal dislike of Pauline and etc-- Bananza justifies that 70 much much more than Air Riders does. So much more content there.

I know, 70 is the new standard for the flasgship mascot/AAA releases, but Kirby Air Ride, not even a new flagship Kirby game, just a sequel to a spin-off, is 70. Doesn't seem even close to fair or justified. The nostalgia-blind Nintendo manchildren will still buy it of course, but come on, is every single game that has a Mario or Link or Inkling or whatever on it gonna be 70 bucks automatically? Fuck off with that shit. Not giving me any more reasons to buy as someone who isn't anywhere near Nintendo-pilled as it is.

I played air ride way too much as a kid. Seeing the city trial event where stars glide easier and watching sakurai's winged star fly up nearly uncontrollably at every bump in the road had some crazy air ride vibes. I'm definitely sold, but then again the air riders announcement is what convinced me to buy a switch 2 in the first place.

Also the visuals look fantastic.
 
The Kirby Air Riders Website says that you can play with 4 people on the same system. I wonder if the press release just means that if you want to do online you need more than one system? I hope you can do split screen City Trial multiplayer and the website only has that 4 people can play if you do Air Ride mode.

Honestly Kirby Air Ride feels like a game that belongs in an arcade, there is very little content in it as a home console game, I feel the same way about this sequel, it looks really fun, but it doesn't seem to have enough content to justify paying 70 bucks for

At least it's somewhat larger than the original. Although, there's something unoriginal about the floating island routine

Sakurai knows this is the mode everyone is coming for and the lack of maps has been a major critique of City Trial and even its brother Smash Run. It makes no sense why they would create a new title and not add more to the most famous mode of the original, fixing up its one major flaw. I highly doubt the team that helped create Smash Ultimate couldn't add one or two extra maps, even if they just bring back the original.

I guess hope for DLC, as shitty as that would be for a $70 game, though I doubt they would even add more as City Trial seems like the exact mode Nintendo would leave untouched.

Can Sakurai finally be unrestrained and make a game he wants to make again? The man has been placed in Smash hell for a decade and now this. I honestly wonder if the man even has passion for this anymore.

As for F-ZERO, there isn't enough interest for it regardless of what Smashtards claim. It is a racer with heavy difficulty that will turn off most casuals. Nintendo themselves have struggled to do anything with the IP as it sits in the DK and Metroid range of needing another studio to build it. They have tried getting devs for a new entry, particularly the Burnout devs during the Wii U, but they had too much going on to work on it. Unless SEGA decides to work with Nintendo again for it or they get the Fast RMX devs on it, I doubt we will ever see the IP again.

Super Smash Bros is one of the smartest series ever made since it deluded people to think Nintendo is even considering touching some of its older IPs.

Being fair, the Switch era brought back Metroid, Donkey Kong, Advanced Wars, Another Code, Endless Ocean, Clubhouse 51, Wii Sports and Famicon Detective Club. There is a lot of reason for people to believe old Nintendo IPs may get touched up again.
