I couldn't care any less even if I tried, the only game that I actually want to play is the pokemon zamn and it isn't looking too bright for it.

>>718388431 (OP)
Oh boy, nintendo now premiere, no wonder nobody was talking about this yet.

>>718388431 (OP)
Neat

>>718388431 (OP)
Here's hoping it releases soon. Maybe this is also why sonic crossworlds is stalling a month or two longer for the switch 2 release

https://x.com/KirbyAirRiderJP/status/1957420924673908842
It's happening

25 minutes are reserved for some retarded camera shit

Where is it, Nintendo?

fingers crossed it mogs MKWorld (not in terms of sales, obviously)

>>718388631
Probably

sigh... we wanted a general direct

>>718388431 (OP)
>45 minutes for this shallow garbage with no gameplay

>>718388518
I mean, Sakurai already announced it as well. and it won't be in Nintendo Today

>>718388431 (OP)
Is Sakurai completely insane? Another Nintendo racing game when a new Mario Kart is already out? It's gonna flop!

>>718388658
2026

>>718388696
Just say you can't afford a switch 2 and go shit up some other threads

I miss a new Sakurai video
>>718388631
>>718388663
hilarious, but when you actually look back at the Smash directs those supposed "nonsense" content barely lasts a few minutes

>>718388709
It is on Nintendo Today.

Gonna be funny seeing people realize in real time it's just going to use only Dreamland, Adventure and Super Star theming.

>>718388431 (OP)
Besides gc remasters, this is the only thing I care about on S2, but I don't plan to get one anyways, so I'll tune in just to see is sakurai's still got it
I'm sure he's glad just to be on a project that's not smash

>>718388431 (OP)
Hell yeah let's go!

>$70 for more racing slop

Kekaroo!

>>718388709
Here is the announcement in Nintendo today. OP got its screenshot from there.

>>718388743
tbqh Air Rider is more involved than just racing
>>718388795
I mean the Direct won't be on Nintendo Today

/v/ can piss and cry about this all day long
This is the main reason I'm interested in getting a Switch 2.

Jesus e's already having a nuclear tsar bomba melty how is he still alive?

Where's the new Kid icarus, sakurai

>>718388831
see >>718388837
I meant that the direct won't be "nintendo today exclusive"
>>718388838
I have no idea why people are being doomer about prime 4, Nintendo's been consistent about the scheduling of their games

>Switch 2 will have more exclusive racers in a few months than Switch 1 did in its entire run
Neat

>>718388831
Nintendo is going a little crazy with all these smaller directs
guess a big normal direct is off the menu

>>718388876
We don't mean that is "exclusive" just that Nintendo Today do the announcement before everyone else.

>>718388916
>smaller
This is going to be longer than almost every regular Direct.

>>718388876
>Nintendo's been consistent about the scheduling of their games
just not of prime 4

um wasn't metroid supposed to come first and be the september game..? it even has a demo at gamescom soon

>>718388431 (OP)
Why does soccer guy hate post Superstar kirby?

>>718388941
they want that nintendo today push, I don't mind. it's not like it's a locked app or something. and technically it's more like they still announce at the same "usual time" it's just that Today is earlier.

>>718388431 (OP)
>9 tracks
>dogshit baby gameplay
>all the songs are just stolen from the anime
>even the supposedly amazing city trial is just random adhd bullshit

Please just give me some playable characters from the non Sakurai games

>>718388916
>guess a big normal direct is off the menu
They can still definitely have a full direct soon. They probably just didn't want to have a situation where everybody gets hyped up for the next big direct and then Sakurai spends 45 minutes after a bunch of announcements talking about Air Riders.

>>718388761
I can't afford a switch 2 and go shit up some other threads

>>718388431 (OP)
Since I'm friendless, I was kind of hoping Splatoon Raiders or Metroid Prime 4 would be the next up and coming Nintendo game.
But hopefully Air Riders is still cool. The first game was splendid back when I still had friends.

>>718389018
if sakurai didn't work on it, it doens't exist

>>718388902
It just needs one more racer.

>>718389018
I mean, even the original only had kirby as playable (yeah I know dedede is playable but you might as well be a gimped kirby)

>>718388838
Based KirbyGOD
Star Crossed World and Air Riders are why I even have a Switch 2.

>>718388965
Presumably that's because it's going to be hosted by Sakurai and half of it is going to be him jerking himself off again.

>>718388692
You're not getting that until September/October

>>718388431 (OP)
Oh shit

>>718388916
Big general Directs are basically smash reveals now so no point in doing them without a new Smash along the way.

>>718389018
>not playing as Kirby in Kirby Air Ride
Why would you do that?

Now the switch U has games?

>>718389018
You'll be lucky to even get Bandana Dee on technicality of coming from Megaton Punch originally.

Here's your only other playable character.

>>718389169
and he should
devs who love video games are a rarity

>>718389169
>"did you notice ..."
>jokes about the history of this reference
>tells story of his life
great, fucking great

How do I actually watch the direct? Is there a waiting room link or is it one of those things where if I go to youtube there's a trillion react streams and the actual direct is hidden and can't be found on the official nintendo channel until 5 hours after it aired?

>>718389237
>>"did you notice ..."
>>jokes about the history of this reference
>>tells story of his life
Holy SOVL

>>718388431 (OP)
45minutes? Isn't this just a racing game?
What can they possibly talk about?

>>718388743
I honestly doubt Sakurai cares whether the game flops or not. This seems like a passion project than anything.

>>718389252
nigga it's literally just a youtube stream

Oy vey status?

>>718389252
>Go on Nintendo's youtube page at the listed time
That's it. That's literally it.

>>718388876
>Nintendo's been consistent about the scheduling of their games
Then why hasn't it got a release date yet?

>>718389287
it pretty much is

>>718389169
>Sakurai goes on a 5 minute autistic speil about adding some little detail that nobody is going to give a fuck about except the people that religiously played Air Ride 22 years ago

Inject that shit right into my veins daddy.

>>718389290
>>718389326

>>718389357
Please don't speak like a faggot

>>718388431 (OP)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6tFOUwpYXA
guess that means it's probably the september game then

another race game i less than 6 months why are nintendo so racist friendly?

>>718389345
that's SE anon

>>718389215
literally this.
it's white kirby for me.

>>718389034
My wild guess is that they didn't have the usual June/July direct cuz the next "one last thing" surprise will be 3D Mario and they wanted to give DK the spotlight for a few momths.

So can we expect any other Kirby news or is it only about Air Riders?

I hope this soundtrack has a remixed version of Item Bounce

I see Sakurai
I see Kirby
I buy it

>>718389379
anon it won't be up until usually a day in

>>718389398
They don't have consistent schedules either

>>718389419
We'll probably get a blurb on forgotten city since that game's upgrade is about to release

>>718388876
>I meant that the direct won't be "nintendo today exclusive"
why do retards KEEP thinking this will be a thing, it's very clearly not going to be a thing, nintendo today's clearly just another avenue not a replacement for anything

>>718389287
i can't believe he has enough sway to get a 40 million side project greenlighted
and he choose not to use that power to make the next kid icarus

METROID
WHERE IS IT
FUCK ALL THIS OTHER PUSSY SHIT

>>718389421
It will have 6 million remixes

>>718389508
yeah, at most it will just be earlier news
complaining about it is weird and autistic

>>718389419
>Kirby Air Riders Direct
>surely there will be another game announced!
Anon...

>>718388431 (OP)
I can't wait for retarded Zoomers nostalgic for Shitty Trial to find out that Air Riders was never good.

eric won

>>718389514
I mean he did say he isn't interested in making a sequel (though others can take the reins)
it was also the time where Sora went with multiple devs rather than single one, so there was trouble with production

>>718389419
Kirby cafe's new jelly donuts will be features for 42 minutes

Where's nigger kirby?

>Metroidfags once again being overdramatic faggots acting like they didn't just get a game a couple years ago while Air Ride fans are happy to finally get something after two decades

I always forget how obnoxious that fanbase is.

Fucking hell do they really not have anything?

>>718388431 (OP)
Susie, Rick and Gooey better be fucking playable.

I won't put it past Sakurai to deliver a better racing game than MK World and flex
Unlikely as that may be

a bit out of context, he was sick but he wanted to work, so had an iv drip

>>718389895
seems more like they have too much
i'm now expecting a duskbloods direct, prime 4 direct, and splatoon raiders direct

>>718389895
This is not a Nintendo direct.

>>718389895
What the fuck is the fire emblem team doing? We know from the leaks that engage was ready for a long time before it released

>switch 2 already has more exclusives than poo5 and xshite combined
feels good

>>718389982
They have Fairgames, chud

Reminder that City Trial wasn't actually that fun. Shame that's all this game is going to be.

>>718389957
he's using a rom hag to increase his stats to the max without reseting.

>>718390007
ah, thought it was some life hack shit

>>718389982
Nigger I own a Switch 2 and I want something to look forward to beyond Metroid

>>718389982
Nta, but I buy nintendo consoles for nip games and exclusives. Even if gta vi releases I don't care or see the purpose of that system

FIRST OFFICIAL KIRBY AIR RIDERS PROBABLY IN GAME IMAGE

>>718389895
general direct in the first two weeks of september I keep telling you fags, they're probably doing this kirby direct because it'll be releasing sept so they need to show it before then

>>718390026
making three house sequel with more dating elements which takes time
they know what sells

>>718388431 (OP)
I don't know how you can really stretch out Kirby Air Riders content to talk about for 15 minutes, let along 45.

>>718389895
>Nintendo has nothing!
>Ignore this Direct focused on literally an upcoming new game we know nothing about

>>718390110
God I hope not. The harry potter rip off game was already bad

>>718390046
>he doesn't know ...

>>718390026
Probably waiting for the next direct to announce whatever the next FE is.
Place your bets on if its either going to be a remake, 6 Houses or something completely different again.

>>718390006
Okay he got me now I have to buy this game

>>718390104
Trophies he's doing trophies again

>>718390104
ohly SOUL

>>718390139
15 minutes of information on the game
30 minutes of Item Bounce playing along with a full list of Kirby's war crimes

>>718388431 (OP)
>Nonamber 8th
You're 11 months too early, OP.

I don’t need 45 minutes of information about a racing game.

Will the song return?
https://youtu.be/2bEZQ00OOxY?si=ddo3qZ5zLFXVDbY7

Aw SHIT. I'm ready.

>>718390241
It's going to be at least half an hour of Sakurai talking about himself

>>718390243
If they can work out the rights with the anime music, maybe.
We lost Checker Knights in Smash, so it might be a problem.

You can tell certain people in this thread never played Air Ride because all they care about is reference to other Kirby games. Air Ride was almost wholely original.

>>718390218
30 minutes won't be long enough to show all of kirby's war crimes

>>718390241
Thanks for letting us know

Where’s the tweet announcing this direct

>>718390238
19 = 11. Don't bother making the joke if it isn't applicable in the slightest sense

>>718388431 (OP)
I could care more about this

is american boxart angry kirby still a thing?

>>718390356
on nintendo america's twitter account

>>718390182
Probably gonna be the rumored Genealogy remake.
If it's an NS2 edition of Three Houses I'm gonna flip my shit

>>718390139
probably similar to that one e3 with smash ultimate, basically just going over and explaining the general gameplay, what air ride is, then going into all the modes/collectables, online, amiibo etc.
and maybe some sakurai presents style raw gameplay

>>718390372
then get to caring more then, since you can

>>718390026
>Finish Engage.
>"Holy fuck boys this is our best game yet, let's start the sequel!"

The only scenario that makes sense.

>>718390005
good news, Samus will be a playable guest character in Air Riders

>>718388431 (OP)
This is the game that will save the Switch 2. Bananza was good but Nintendo fucked up all the goodwill with Mario Kart World by removing 3 lap online races and stubbornly ignoring the outcry.

>>718390356
Who cares, the youtube stream is already up.

>>718388818
I hate to break it to you, but there are no GCN remasters on NSO. The games are forced upscales that still run like they’re on GCN hardware. In fact, there’s significant input lag compared to native hardware.

I couldn't get past the red blush noses in three houses. I think its the first fire emblem game I actively disliked

It's tomorrow retard

Let’s mention music; we know the usual Kirby composers, but the last time Sakurai worked and directed a non-Smash Nintendo game was Kid Icarus Uprising and Sakurai got these composers for it:
>Motoi Sakuraba
>Yuzo Koshiro
>Masafumi Takada
>Noriyuki Iwadare
>Takahiro Nishi
>Yasunori Mitsuda
Do you think we might see something similar for Air Riders instead of, or alongside, the HAL composers? Imagine Kirby music done by Yasuhiro Mitsuda?

>>718390486
The input lag is unbearable and it doesn’t seem like they have any plans to fix it

>>718390324
>all the anons itt asking for characters other than kirby
They're basically asking for Mario Kart characters that can't use item boxes.

I do wonder what Sakurai's house looks like now

>>718389276
See >>718389169

This is the one I was waiting for. Give me a release date so I have an excuse to get the console now. I’m sorry to all the metroid bros though, never would have thought air riders would get a release date before it.

I meant Yasunori Mitsuda dammit

>>718390629
Im glad. Screw your metroid I want kirby

>>718390597
I'm almost certain it won't be filmed at his house, that only happened because of lockdown shit

Why are they making so many Kirby games when they aren't popular at all. I've never gotten the Kirby games they are just boring how can they keep making so many of them

>>718390427
>spoiler
I like how every FE announcement from now on is going to cause extreme seething from some side of the fractured fanbase. If the next game isn't like 3H you're gonna see just as much shit get flipped.

>>718390629
>it's a race to see what release first, Metroid prime 4 or GTA 6
what a wacky timeline

>>718390581
Roster fagging ruined alot of game discussion. Most of these people never even played air riders because as you said their request make no sense. They're asking for multiple nabbits in a 2d Mario game.
Or someone else besides cappy and Mario in odyssey

>>718390324

Isn’t most of Air Ride’s original content just repurposed from Kirby GCN

I don’t even understand what FEfags are complaining about half the time they act like minor difference makes it a completely different game when to everyone else they all look like the exact same shit

>>718390710
seems pretty popular in japan, also it's in HAL's best interest considering it's their most popular IP

>>718390629
Get the Switch 2 now before it’s $550. Retailers are selling through their base Switch stock at below MSRP now so they can raise the price of the Switch 2 when it’s the only SKU left.

>>718390710
Kirby has always been popular world wide. Its just been slower in the west. Recently though forgotten city helped sell it to americans

>>718390807
you forgot smarch retard

>>718390763
Only the enemies

Great week to be a Kirby fan.

So why is the ESRB rating E - E10 when it's just one game?

>>718390710
Kirby games are not boring at all.

>2 fucking racers and a platformer
Where are the facking JRPGs nintendo

>>718390872
Don't fear monger. I work at gamestop and the hype has died down a little bit. Im expecting a flood around the time pokemon releases but right now we're readily stocked

>>718390816
Normally I'd agree, but the way Three Houses was structured was very different from any other FE game which is part of the reason it brought in so many newfags.
Before when it was people complaining about the differences between Awakening, the GC and the GBA games though? Yeah, in comparison that is extremely minor.

>>718390926
Same. Glad too see Kirby is getting more and more popular this generation

>>718388509
>he only wants to play the worst of the worst
Why are you retarded

Sakurai 10 years ago:
>Goys.... I'm sorry, but I'm too old. I'm retiring soon, thanks for understanding...
Sakurai now:
>Please buy my new game!

>>718391046
so, making things up or poor reading comprehension?

>>718388431 (OP)
What the fuck is Sakurai going to talk about for 45 minutes?

>>718391015
I'd argue it has to do more with the western branches realizing kirby doesn't have to be so pissed off all the time

We agree that Planet Robobot was still the best Kirby game right

>>718390942
idk they'll probably show footage of air ride when explaining the base gameplay before showing off air riders

>>718390816
Engage was a pretty radical shift. Using magical engagement rings to summon your twink boyfriend to the battlefield is gayer than being gay, especially when you remove romance choices entirely. People blame Awakening for the waifu thing but that mechanic is older than the people bitching about it.

>>718391080
how they modeled Kirbie's feet

>>718391080

>>718391076
He said he was retiring like 10 years ago tho

>>718390710
Trvke

>>718391080
Every goddamn detail about the game.
You WILL hear about every option available in the settings menu.

>>718390581
>>718390737
Just because MK and Dedede were half finished afterthoughts in the first game doesn't mean other characters have to be in this game.
There's nothing stopping them from changing how the abilities work so they can all use them.

No he didn't. Otherwise you need a source.

>>718391117
Engage was heavily raped in the west. Blame your localizers for that one. Its been one of the better ones if you take off your faggy loyalty to one game

>>718388876
Prime 4 was re revealed well over a year ago. It should have at least launched with the system if not a few months before

>>718390983
Mother 1 + 2 remake soon

>>718391082
lmao

>>718391046
>>718391139
Maybe he changed his mind
Maybe he’ll retire after one last big project that isn’t this, that’s soon

>>718389653
Sakurai is tired of of doing only smash and kirby


>>718388660
the racing will be inferior if it remains as anywhere as simplistic as the first Air Ride game.
Air Ride barely even punished you touching walls. Flying was more fun but you couldn't even abuse that because tracks were surrounded by invisible walls. You could win some tracks by wall riding, you just had to pick the right machine.

>>718391218
The game is going to suck so much balls it’s insane anyone has hope for it

So is Kirby Air Riders going to be the September release? Are they really only going to show off and start marketing a big game just one month before release?

>>718391080
He will show the world why Kirby is the best video game character

>>718391182
I don't know kirby... 6 million starving residents of dreamland sounds like a lot... maybe it was closer to 100,000

>>718391206
>Engage was heavily raped in the west
That's just FE tradition at this point.

>within a few months tendies have been conditioned to spend $70 on Kirby games
Lmfao
Nintendo has to be laughing all the way to the bank.
Honestly I hope they make you pay piggie cultists pay $80 for it

>>718390926
Shame it's not on the Switch 1. I just beat this game with my wife and we were hoping to get the DLC.

>>718391316
>Are they really only going to show off and start marketing a big game just one month before release?
yeah why not
>NOOOOO THEY NEED 2 MORE MONTHS OF TWEETS
do they really

True, but you guys lost so much content this time around

>>718391218
The trailer was like 3 months ago man. Patience

>>718391397
anon just get a switch2. It’s really worth it

>>718391362
At least we have games to play and loom forward to.

>>718391027
Bro, kirby air ride has no gameplay whatsoever besides running around an empty city, what the hell are you even smoking?

>>718391474
It's really not.
There's 1 game I want and a DLC I'm mildly interested in.

Kirby won

Will your favorite return, /v/?

>>718391206
Look I liked the idea of having more skills and passive perks and attacks that affected the map. But NOA didn't give the protagonist goofy ass clown hair, or alter some originally great story and cast into the dollar store JRPG shit we got.

>directs for individual games
Why? What happened to normal directs?

It’s great they’re making a sequel on hardware with multiple times the capability of the original then

>>718390423
They’ve loosened up a bit on angry Kirby box art in recent years, but since this is Sakurai’s first Kirby since the first air ride, angry kirby is coming back for tradition’s sake.

>>718391656
that shitty nintendo now app killed them

>>718391656
>What happened to normal directs?
Ask retro what happened to mp4

>>718391627
I've never played but jet looks the coolest now someone tell me it's a shit board no one should ever use

Is anyone else legitimately hyped? I know it's easy to be pessimistic these days, but this is a sequel to a game I never thought would get one. It's Sakurai's passion project that he's doing on his own accord, and while you may have problems with Smash, he's never been one to hold back. The original is admittedly a barebones game with a mode that had a lot of replayability, and I have no doubts Air Riders will go all out.

>>718391656
september anon

>>718391752
Can you tell me what YouTuber you guys are getting this line from?

>>718391769
why did he do it

>>718391627
>dedede
yes I’m sure he will

So
August for Drg x Drive and the FL expansion
September for Air Riders
October for Pokeyman
November for Prime 4
December-January(?) for Hyrule Warriors

And then for next year we have Rhythm Heaven, Tomodachi Life, Splatoon Raiders and Duskbloods.

honestly air rider felt more like a twisted metal with racing aspects

>>718388431 (OP)
No one gives a shit about this turd.
This is just Nintendo repaying the favor to Sakurai after enslaving him for the past two decades.

>>718391627
I wonder if a Robobot air ride machine will be in….but Robobot wasn’t a Sakurai game

>>718388431 (OP)

fuck dis baby shit we want prime 4

>>718391847
>youtuber
anon it’s our own speculation originated from /v/

>>718391656
Presse understand. They stopped supporting the switch a few years back to have nothing ready for their next console.

>>718391769
This is /v/ anon, every thread is full of doom and gloom

What can it do to stand out in a niche dominated by Mario Kart?

>>718391769
I'm very hyped. I preordered the original game and loved it way more than Mario Kart.
I really hope they don't focus too hard on City Trial. The racing is the main focus.

>>718391847
since they're not gonna tell you, the speculation largely stems from kiwitalkz, I don't buy into it

>>718389895
Nintendo seems to like grouping smaller Directs together, back-to-back. Remember how we got the Switch 2 Direct just a week after a general Direct.
>>718389982
No games.
>>718390026
>>718390439
They likely are keeping the assets, mainly environmental and code. FE has always switched up their art direction, before reverting back to Yūsuke Kozaki's style. Hopefully they announce something this September.
>>718390427
My guess is that it's going to be a new game.
>>718390983
3. Don't forget Fast Fusion.

>>718392035
City Trial

>>718390664
I think it’s gonna be the usual Jun Ishikawa and Hirokazu Ando, and the newcomers Yumi Shimooka and Yuuta Ogasawara who made their big break with forgotten land. I’d love for an uprising situation too tho cause I loved its soundtrack. I just don’t think it’s as likely cause Kirby is already an IP that gets plenty of releases with an established group of composers.

>>718391627
Swerve Star my beloved

>>718391759
Actually the Jet Star is considered the best machine in the game by a lot of people.

SAKURAI SHOULD BE MAKING SMASH 6, NOT THIS CRAP

>>718392164
knowing that guy, he probably is working both at the same time

>>718391879
Damn tendies are eating good

>>718392164
he'll probably make smash after this

>>718392164
>>718392182
He said he wouldn't make Smash 6 unless he could make a new Kirby Air Ride.

>>718391879
that's it?

>>718391257
who thinks left looks better is a japanese cocksucker

I find Nintendo’s current marketing strategy odd… There is no release date for any game except Legends Z-A, there is no hype for Legends Z-A at all because they announced it and then didn’t show any gameplay for one whole year, the only new thing shown for Z-A is Mega Dragonite; there is minimal news or announcements about MP4 or Age of Imprisonment, (right now) there is no gameplay footage of Air Riders, heck for Xenoblade X DE they released it two weeks before switch 2 reveal and didn’t even talk about it there or give it a free switch 2 update, I feel like MK World and Bananza are the only games they’ve really cared to sell this year

>>718392164
I hope he half-asses smash 6 to finally kill it once and for all

I wish this was Kid Icarus so bad bros... I don't care about Kirby, let alone a racing game

>>718392135
Lmao
Tendies gonna buy every single $70 shovelware and paid performance patch to justify their console purchase. Even things like a $70 dynasty warriors game with a Zelda paint job. Honestly god bless Nintendo for cultivating pay you loyal cultists.

>>718392264
Z-A has a bundle that replaces the mario kart one so they clearly care to sell it they just aren't advertising in any exciting way

>>718392264
There's plenty of hype for Z-A. A whole generation grew up with XY. Also all the new Megas leaked a while ago so there's not much to speculate.

>>718390872
I live in leafland, console bundles are already $700 here, and new releases are $100 or more. I’ve already accepted I’m paying a lot for this shit so I wasn’t gonna get it till a game I really want comes out.

>>718392238
you faggots seriously gotta stop taking/spreading random rumors/speculation as fact

>the brown favelamonkey is already damage controlling with variants of i-it doesn't count!!!
8 more years of constant mindbreak

>>718392164
Nintendo let him work one one (1) game in exchange for Smash Ultimate. Watch Smash 6 be his last one for real and then he just retires from game development after releasing Kid Icarus 3 in 2032.

>>718391469
Donkey Kong was revealed and released within 3 months. Even if you ignore the original announcement from 2017 Prime 4's first trailer was 14 months ago. It's odd to have it take this long when it already has a controversial development

>>718392394
He literally said it tho.

Will Item Bounce return?

>>718390026
feh

>>718392472
Retro is too busy having BBQ

>>718392253
As opposed to what other company?

>>718391106
It’s still super star thougheverbeit. Forgotten land is a close second

>>718392264
clearly their tactic of being scarce with information leading to heavy discussion and speculation works

>>718389018
>>718388806
This is the big shit stinker. Sakurai has been unable to accept that great and sometimes all time best Kirby games came from people who weren’t him for decades.

>>718392503
Yes and he'll double down on it.

>>718392005
You've gotta be fucking retarded if you think it's gonna get:
>50 characters
>40 rides
>30 courses
This shit is absolutely redundant when MKW already fills in the racing niche on Switch 2. Air Ride has never been relevant not even GC toddlers remember about it, and Air Riders is just Sakurai huffing his own wet fart. What a fucking a forced franchise.

>>718392117
I’m not too much a fan of Shimooka’s work, Ogasawara has shown potential with Planet Earthfall and Blizzard Bridge tho
I feel like the quality of even Ishikawa and Ando’s work fell hard after Robobot (starting with Star Allies and on) and hasn’t recovered, and iirc Ishikawa left HAL so his future with the Kirby series is still in flux
Also don’t forget Megumi Ohara, she has great rearrangement credits

>>718392583
I never liked Superstar as a kid. Always preferred Dreamland 3.

>>718392480
show me where exactly he said it

>>718392472
If it were in an unfinished state I doubt they would do the exact same treehouse presentation DKB had. It’s clear they’re just trying to space out their games

>>718392264
Last night, they showed off a new multiplayer mode for Z-A after the Sydney tournament. MP4 is certainly strange though.
>XCX update
NINTENDO?!

>>718392472
apparently their new marketing strategy is having a dedicated direct like one month before release

if prime 4 is a november game that means we should have a prime 4 direct in october

I know everyone wants a new Kid Icarus or an Uprising sequel, but did you forget that Hades already told us that we have to wait another 25 years for the next game

>make barebones game that would be considered an indie game by anyone else
>charge $70-$80 for it
>tendies eat the slop and ask for a price increase
So that’s their strategy this gen

>>718392604
My theory as to why this thing ever got any hype is that melee gaylords played a pirated copy of it on their hacked wii in their hotel room at a smash tourney while drunk, high and having gay buttsex. I see no other scenario where anyone ever would even pretend that Kirby Air Ride was something anyone cared about.

>>718392675
>after the Sydney tournament
you mean the world championship in anaheim, not sure where you got sydney from

man he really is anally sour about Air Riders

The dev of https://store.steampowered.com/app/3036440/Robo_Ride__Glide/ is probably going to kill himself after this Direct

So funny to see all the people who spammed “one game” coping ITT

>>718392264
September direct. I expect they're trimming the fat off of their usual streams with a partner direct full of filler, like seriously imagine how annoying it would have been for the big direct stream wasting time with that stupid fucking campfire game.
Keep in mind they got Switch 1 stuff, Switch 1 stuff enhanced for Switch 2, third party announcements of significant ports, third party new games, third party exclusives, and their own new Switch 2 content. They don't want 60+ minutes of directs.

>>718391578
Im not talking about Kirby specifically, i mean, with all the games available like Bananza or upgraded Switch titles you want to play that shit of ZA only?

>>718392675
>XCX update
There isn’t one (yet), that’s why i’m saying it’s so odd for them to have released it that close yet not bothered with a switch 2 update or any marketing benefits that would arise from that

>>718392604
>MKW already fills in the racing niche on Switch 2
absolutely braindead third worlder take

why couldn't nintendo get multiple arcade racers when they have multiple fighting games, rpgs, party games, action/adventure, platformers etc?

>>718390781
What’s funny is the rumors stemmed from someone on ResetEra “having a dream” that it was happening.
This is literally where it all stemmed from.

A new multiplayer trailer for za just released today and a new demo a few days ago

>>718392734
Don’t reply to yourself.

>>718392604
og Air Ride came out over 20 years ago, modern Sakurai games like Smash Ultimate and Uprising had a shitload of content.

I fully expect this one to make the original loook like a tech demo which kind of was anyways

>>718391627
I won't be surprised if Sakurai dumps everything but the warp star and replaces it with some dumb skill system instead

>>718392891

>>718392291
I love uprising too anon, but I’ll take an air ride sequel any day of the week. An Air ride sequel was in a higher tier of “never ever” than kid Icarus and it finally got something. That should give us hope for a new kid Icarus actually happening at some point.

poorfags are gonna be pissing and shitting themselves doubly so when they announce Air Ride being dropped on NSO

>We have reached /v/ shitposting about Air Ride
Finally. I was always annoyed that /v/ would never give the time of day to the games that I played a ton of a a kid.
On the rare occasions that Air Ride was brought up before, those threads were very pleasant, but now I'm ready for proper /v/ Air Ride threads (garbage).

>>718393119
NTA but Pokemon needs a catastrophic flop for TPC to give GF the resources they need to make a good game.

What you people don't realize is that Switch 2's fate rides on this game alone.This is a passion project by mr. videogame Sakurai himself. So if he somehow can't make a compelling game for the system then its fucking over

No city trial 2, or city trial adjacent mode, no buy.

>>718393251
GF don't want to make a good game. We've read the gigaleak emails.
The last game they tried on was BW, then when they sold worse than the last games (users complained there was no KANTO pokemon), they released a low-effort game with 2 charizards and KANTO pandering and it sold billions.
That's why they keep doing the lowest-effort shit. It'll sell anyway, so why try?

That wasn't on the actual map, was it? Makes the city look a bit bigger than it really is

>>718393060
The Y2K/Dreamcast aesthetic and Chao Garden aspect of it is gonna allow it to hold on its own against Air Riders

so what's the next game the ugly jew and his brown discord trannies friends will endlessly shitpost about? prime 4? splatoon raiders?

>>718393486
There was islands and shit. No idea if there were buildings on the skybox.

>>718393217
what a few years down the line? it's certainly not coming anytime soon it would only compete for attention with the new game, same reason why DK64 wasn't added near bananza, or double dash in the launch window with world and same for the gamecube mario partys and jamboree tv

Where is Prime 4

>Sonic dodged Mario but now it's gonna have to compete with Smash Ultimate's director passion project
kek

This game really should be 90% focused on City Trial, no one likes the racing in the original

>>718393562
Probably splatoon raiders due to its unfortunate tranny adjacent fanbase

>>718388431 (OP)
Am I wrong for hoping this game gets the same + $20 soundtrack tax that Mario Kart World did?
I want to have another Rainbow Curse-level selection of remixes, all unlocked through the checklist with the ability to freely customize what the play in City Trial.
The game will sell like shit because it's not Mario Kart, but it's not like they'd make another Kirby's Air Ride for another 10+ years anyway, so in a way it almost feels like it's for the greater good.

>>718393614
The racing is the best part.
City Trial is just ok.

>>718392621
I didn’t know that about Jun Ishikawa, but I also really enjoyed his work on forgotten land with “Abandoned beach” and “Burning churning power plant”. I completely glanced over Megumi Ohara though.

>>718393579
Two more weeks

>>718388509
>pokemon zamn

Shitty starter lineup and only taking place in a city

>>718393643
I would love that, but with Sakurai as the director I feel like the focus of remixes would just be on Dream Land/Adventure/Super Star; remember Smash Ultimate where the only new Kirby remixes came from Dream Land and Air Ride with nothing from the nuKirby era at all?
And also, the current sound and arrangement quality of Kirby music isn’t that great (imo), Rainbow Curse arrangements were peak quality and it only went downhill from there

>>718393643
>The game will sell like shit because it's not Mario Kart
kirby has become a very popular franchise with forgotten land being the best selling 3D platformer not called mario of these past twenty years or so, pretty sure the game is going to sell well

>>718388431 (OP)
If Nintendo charges $70 for this it's going to bomb hard

>>718393643
Banza's OST slapped and that game was $70. Air Riders will probably be $70 since it's a spinoff and sequel to a very niche game.

>>718391961
I’m asking who cares you faggot

>>718392859

The source for this is that the Forgotten Land soundtrack lists Jun Ishikawa as a “former” HAL composer, but the interviews included say that he’s happy to continue working with HAL even as a freelancer
I can’t really find scans of the soundtrack to see more tho, would you happen to know where the scans might be

>>718392182
>knowing that guy, he probably is working both at the same time

convinced he was laying the groundwork for Smash 6 during the DLC rollout for Ultimate. 3+ years for a much smaller team to add some characters and stages means he was occupying his time with something else too

>>718394107
?

>>718393796
I'm just saying Nintendo can get away with charging $80 for Mario Kart because Mario Kart is arguably a bigger brand name than mainline Mario itself.
Kirby is a big brand name, but Kirby Air Ride was a niche spin-off from 20 years ago that doesn't really have much relevance outside of Smash Cameos, so I doubt nearly as many people who be willing to swallow that price.

>>718393831

In fact Air Riders will be a big moment of truth to see if the anti bias towards modern Kirby really is true.

a fucking Kringeby direct before any news on Metroid. JFC.

>>718394373
right so he didn't say it, happy it's straightened out

what is this

I bet half of the direct will be Sakurai jerking himself off over how great it is that the game only uses one button, and the other half will be going over a new sub-game that no one will play more than once

How big is it gonna be?

Only boomers care about this shit

>>718393397
nigga the original game had like 5 maps, 1 button and 3 modes only one of which was worth a damn, no shit there's gonna be a city trial in it. it's not like they can take content AWAY you wouldn't have a fucking game left. ohh this time you use 0 buttons and the only mode is the overdesigned fucking menus. get real.

>>718394482
Top ride Kirby model or in-game trophy

>>718393643
It’s more important to me that Nintendo is able to make money by releasing a barebones game like donkey Kong or the $70 totk dlc so yes, I agree.

>>718394565
so you're saying he actually never said, got it!

>>718394539

>>718394560
Sorry you're poor

>>718394381
They could be on VGMDB but i’ve never understood how to see the scans there, do you need an account?
…I actually have the soundtrack sitting on my shelf that I could just open and look at too, but I feel reluctant to open it because of its limited edition nature

There is a persistent rumour that Sakurai HATES "the dark matter trilogy" games (which wouldn't be OoC as Sakurai can be extremely petty, remember how smash doesn't get cinematic story modes anymore just because people upload the cutscenes in YouTube?) so if none of the dark matter trilogy original characters appear in Riders 2, I think that would confirm the rumour.

Star Allies was certainly a middling OST, but Forgotten Lands had a lot of great arrangements even if they're quite a bit stylistically divorced from the much more energetic music from the era of games with sequenced soundtracks.

Anyone else like the Kumazaki games more than the sakurai ones? I was so happy that Forgotten Land came out after HAL had continued to add and refine the gameplay from RTDL-SA. FL has all the small autistic QOL details that the previous games had and is the best game in the series.

>>718394826
First time I ever heard that. I forgot to add that if dark matter trilogy characters do appear then the rumour will be killed off but this doesn't change the fact that Sakurai is still a petty asshole because the smash bros thing.

>>718394164
Nintendo is already charging $80 for a Kirby game since they know you cultists will eat it the fuck up.

>>718394784
I could show you my copy of the game and then you’d shit yourself in anger. Ive done that 6 times so far and each time you dumb faggots start to cope about something else. So I’ll ask you the same thing. If I prove to you I have donkey Kong, will you promise to kilo yourself?

>>718394861
3 games now brochacho

>>718394924
>we already agreed that he didn't say it
No we didn't, ESL.
Thanks for confirming you can't read.

>>718394939
Agreed, FL is my favorite in the series too

>>718394375
Looking past Brawl, the only nuKirby content of substance (not spirits or trophies) that is also from a non-Sakurai Kirby would be the Forest/Nature Area remix from Smash 4 and nothing new in Ultimate
Even the Forest/Nature Area remix is fringe because Sakurai worked on Amazing Mirror as a “special advisor”, so there really are no remixes from any non-Sakurai Kirby games in both Smash 4 and Ultimate!

>>718394375
I always appreciated this remix for using the "squeak squeak" thrice per loop instead of just twice per loop. My favorite part of the song.

>>718394997

This whole direct is actually a (mis)direct. It's a bait-and-switch (2) Smash reveal. Kirby Air Riders is just one mode of Smash 6. That's why it's 45 minutes. Trust me, Nintendo is my uncle.

>>718394890
>I hope that the post-air ride games get a bit more representation
Same, but speaking of representation what about the anime? The original Air Ride took several songs from the anime (like Strong Star Warrior/Checker Knights) so I wonder if Air Riders will also have anime music

>>718395382
Same.

>>718394494
About 1/100th the size of your Mom’s dildo

Sakurai hasn't done shit for the last 3 smash bros games besides the menus, bamco did all the rest.

Are you going to stream you suicide or just have your next of kin send me the video?

Firsty party games I've got and am getting in future:

Owned:

Getting next:
>Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star Crossed World,
>Pokemon Legends ZA,
>Metroid Prime 4: Beyond,
>Kirby Air Riders,
>Splatoon Raiders,
>Monolith Soft next RPG

>>718393467
Because your typical Nintendo-only fan has a bizarre aversion to "anime". Don't ask me why but they hate anything vaguely anime including Xeno, FE, etc.

you for replying, snoy

>>718395232
this would be hilarious

>>718395405
Given that Mass Attack seemingly shows that HAL has free reign to use anime material in their games, I would hope so.

is this what counts for /v/ knowledge nowadays

>>718395151
>>718395494
Whoops my bad I wrote the wrong post number. I hope that doesn’t invalidate the suicide attempt you owe me. You should still go for it.

>>718389276
I could see Sakurai throwing in some other unique fun side mode that may not be traditional racing unless City Trial is getting a major overhaul and of course online play

>>718395840
>he worked even while being dehydrated
Oh waow he worked while he was mildly thirsty, someone get this guy a medal!

>>718395520
When Clannad, Little Busters, Grisaia, Muv-Luv, Ever17, Chaos Head, Steins Gate, Robotics Notes, Fate Stay Night, Mahoyo, Tsukihime etc are all on switch, imagine still not reading any of them

>>718395845
Why did that take you 6 minutes

>>718389419
Maybe they’ll do a cross promotion with Star Crossed Roads?

>>718395916
yeah I can tell you're running out of material
and right on cue because it's almost bump time! glad switch 2 games trigger /v/tards as per usual

is it a shitty rip

>>718394567
I've seen Sakurai create Smash Run for Smash 3DS and then proceed to not include it the Wii U or Switch versions of the game.

I dont trust him anymore.

>>718389543
Imagine if Kirby Air Riders got announced in 2017 as “Air Ride 2” then delayed the same way

>>718395937
"Eww reading, I play games to have fun" - Arlo or somebody

>>718395937
Those are all shite doe. If they had WTC in English on Switch I'd read those there.

>>718389276
at least 20 minutes will be dedicated explaining how you don't have to press anything to accelerate and the game will do that itself

we stay strong

well... guess this is it, this will be what defines everything, and truly show what kind of man Sakurai is.

for what it was, KAR was good. but after 23 or so years, after how much the Kirby franchise has grown, he HAS to recognize the importance of all the other characters and world building made so far.

if he still insists on focusing the roster on just Kirby, DDD, MK and maybe Bandanna Dee and Marx, this will be the greatest mistake of his life, no matter how much content modeswise he adds.

any game like this, based on a big franchise, lives and dies by its roster.

>>718396090

There is 0 guarantee that city trials will exist in air riders

KIRBGAWDS WON

>>718388431 (OP)
Kirby's air ride was was fun, but the only good part about it was the city trial mode. We'll see if sakurai actually understands that.
In any case, the best news here is that air riders is probably gonna come out soon so sakurai can get back to work on smash bros afterwards. Lets be honest here, this is 100% a situation where sakurai said "okay I'll make a new smash bros game but only if I can do my own thing first."

>>718395960
That’s the cope you’re going with? I was taking a shit.

It's more or less guaranteed to use the double mouse gimmick to control, I just hope they kept a classic mode for the pro controller.

>>718388509
ZA looks so fucking trash from the demos they showed off this weekend

>>718396026
Oh, that’s the one made by TZ Gaming, I have it downloaded already but thanks, sharing the link so that more people have access to it is good work

Air Riders is my most wanted game at the moment so this is a fine fucking trade if I have to wait until September for the General Direct.

>>718396086
I'm not an audiophile or whatever, but there's no sound effects and the music sounds clean, you can download a track and judge for yourself if it seems worth downloading the whole thing afterwards.
It's the best you're gonna get until we get an actual soundtrack release either way,

Still can't believe we're digging up this piece of shit 25 years later like it's some classic

The City Trial mode wasn't even fun for that long. This has to be some weird zoomer revisionism

>>718389708
Metroid fans gotta be careful to not be like Fire Emblem fans, YES we understand Prime 4 was announced back in 2017 but it’s Nintendo’s fault for mismanaging it BUT at least we had Samus Returns on 3DS, Dread and Prime Remastered. Because I’ll say this

>Even Mario Kart, Nintendo's most profitable series, had to wait 10 years for a new game
>Tears of the Kingdom took 6 years after the massive success of BotW
>Odyssey Team worked on Bananza for 7 years
>Fire Emblem fans: WHY AM I NOT GETTING A NEW GAME EVERY 2 YEARS?

See what I mean?

The cope has officially begun.

>>718396292
>Only good part was City Trial
lol no

>>718396512
We're just collectively gaslighting you.

>>718396349

maybe for a side mode

>>718396512
regardless of what you or or the next poster thinks sakurai wanted to make a new air rider game when Nintendo asked him for something so that's what he's doing

>>718396512
I personally had a lot of fun with City Trial and replayed it constantly

>>718396719
You are in a fucking fantasy, nobody cares about this shit

Metroid Prime was only popular due to good graphics which switch 2 isnt capable of

I played it a lot too but I also played a lot of Star Fox: Assault multiplayer. The bar was very low then.

This is what the original source has to say about the quality, you should remember this guy as being the one who posted the BCP music on yt during that era

Will you guys be able to watch it on time?

>>718397093
Cute kot

>>718397619
I'll just be able to make it.

Very important message from Masahiro Sakurai, please open

>>718397105
He's probably talking about MK8's Booster Course Pass.

>>718393204
Yeah, Sakurai said that he chose to develop a racan game because it could be developed for the GayCube faster than a Kirby platformer
But even by those standards the game was rushed as fuck, which is evident in how only one mode is actually fleshed out and fun to play while the others feel like they barely left the pre-alpha stage

>>718390781

Megaman Taisen was the Silksong of Megaman or at least it used to be, nobody brings it up anymore because it might’ve gotten quietly cancelled

>>718396274
What's really terrifying is that in his Air Ride video, Sakurai barely talks about City Trial and doesn't acknowledge that it was the main thing people liked about the game
He talks about Air Ride (the mode) as if it was unironically the selling point
I hope he was just choosing to focus on Air Ride for that particular video for reasons not even God knows, but him barely talking about City Trial in general has me slightly concerned

>>718388743
Aint no way. I played Kriby Air Ride more than any of the Mario Karts

>>718396512
>The City Trial mode wasn't even fun for that long
I still have friends who occasionally like to play it when we hang out to this day.

>>718398223
>it was the main thing people liked about the game
Yeah? It's a cool sub mode, but I always enjoyed the racing much much more.
I wouldn't buy a game that was only city trial. I would buy a game that's only racing.

>>718398223
meds

>>718391080
Probably gonna teach us something off topic but for fun like how he did with counting in Binary

>>718398293
Oh boy the cultists are here!

>>718398293
Air Ride should of course still be part of the game (I mean it's literally the title), but City Trial is the main thing most people who played the original remember, and they'll still mention it being part of the game they loved to this day. I personally find it slightly overrated and I enjoy the racan aspect more, but if the game doesn't have City Trial it's gonna flop hard.

>>718398293
Exact opposite for me. The vehicles felt the best for city trial, they always felt very cluttered and unoptimized for race to me.

>>718397619
nope, I'll check it out during a break or when I get home
