Children and retards will play Mario Kart World
People with Taste will play Air Riders

It looks like it does everything right that World did wrong. Excellent track design, the handicap systems still require skill to utilize instead of being retard-proof nukes, it's not stuffed with too many players, focused on racing instead of meme open world, it's got that incredible straightforward and fast menu system Sakurai's games are known for, shit they don't even make you spectate if you finish first despite the laps being like 30 seconds each.

Also the direct was one of the best edited videos Nintendo has put out recently, drip-feeding the content to keep you locked in.
