Why's KiwiTalks still trying to call an early L?
>"Sakurai said in the direct he did Kirby Air Riders because he was approached to do it as opposed to using it as a negotiation tactic during discussions with Nintendo to get him to do another Smash." -Kiwi
Okay no shit dude, he's not going to tell people that Nintendo approached him to make Air Ride 2 because he's currently tired of Smash. That isn't PR kosher.
He straight up was right about Nintendo approaching them instead of Sakurai doing it out of his own interests, and is still a very passionate project too.
