What do you think we'll see? We've got 45 minutes of potential kino. Starts officially in under an hour.

>>718469160 (OP)
Is it actually 45 minutes long?
I just hope they drop a demo at the end, or even better, shadowdrop the whole damn game

Hoping for City Trial 2

>>718469278
Yes, it is 45 minutes long. I'm sure there will be a demo. My guess for release date is November.

>>718469160 (OP)
>Hopes
All GCN tracks return
Top Ride is expanded as a mode where you can play as a variety of characters (it's the only one that could benefit from an actual roster)
City Trial has multiple maps
A potential CTR esque Adventure Mode
>Expectations
At least the GCN City Trial Map returns
Only characters are from Sakurai developed games are in
Grand Prix mode in Air Ride
>Fears
Yet another game falls for the open world meme
No City Trial
The last 5 minutes of the direct are devoted to Smash Ultimate Switch 2 Edition for some reason

Honestly, the base game is already good, just expand on it by adding more courses, maps, etc.

why would I buy a switch 2 and this inevitable slop when I can just buy Star Garden and get a more faithful successor to the original?
https://youtu.be/XYOpPALo7Cc

More legendary vehicles could be fun. I love murdering the computer players with Hydra in City Trial

Online City Trial. And maybe a bigger City Trial map.

>>718469976
I think OG City Trial was the right size. You wanna be able to get across the map quickly enough. But creating more maps would be nice, go for variety like maybe a volcanic area, a field of flowers or icy tundra.

>>718469160 (OP)
This is basically going to be a Switch 2 sales pitch for me. If this game looks anywhere as good as the original, I'm going to buy the console.

>>718470125
I hope the game holds promise for you.

Me, I'm still planning to continue holding off on Switch 2 until probably another year or two, once the library starts to fill up.

did anyone actually play kirby air ride or is it one of those games people pretend to care about?

I sure hope the Item Bounce mode returns, and I really hope they bring back the Item Bounce music.

>>718470215
If I didn't play it I wouldn't be watching this direct.

>>718470215
Personally I never got into it but I had friends who were crazy about it
I'll try out the new one, and I'm happy that an obscure game like this is getting a direct sequel
Personally, my dream Kirby sequel would be Kirby's Dream Course 2

>>718470215
It's definitely the pre strive guilty gear of nintendo games.

>>718470215
I don't think a lot of people played Air Ride, but from what I've seen since the direct announcement, it's one of those cases where anons that did play it REALLY liked the game.

>>718470316
>>Kirby's Dream Course 2

I remember Dream Course, we had it, and it was HARD. At least, for me as a kid it was cause I was retarded. I haven't revisited since, but I always had fun with it even if I sucked at it.

>>718470413
It's a classic
The multiplayer on it was top tier because you could just focus on fucking up the other player and try to steal their points

>>718469898
>star garden
>Most of it is just a sonicfag pet garden game
>faithful
Retard.

30 minutes to go

Post your favorite ride

>>718470564
Now https://www.twitch.tv/nintendo

>>718470215
Nobodys played it and it's only hyped because of Sakurai

45 minutes to talk about the simplest racing game ever?
Weird

>>718470726
People mostly like the mode where it isn't a racing game.

>>718469160 (OP)
Yes, hello. This is Eric.
https://www.kirbyairrideonline.com/
Just dropping this.

>>718470726
you will learn about kirby air ride and you will like it

https://youtu.be/bRDAYgRns4E

>>718470215
It was one of thee first video games I've played ever.
Even if I think it's just ok nowadays, I still have a soft spot for it.

>>718470215
>did anyone actually play kirby air ride
It got that player's choice label so I assume there had to be at least a million people that played it.

the gamecube game is dogshit. don't even know why sakurai bothered with this shit when he should have been making a sequel to uprising instead

I think a City Trial type mode is guaranteed, Sakurai made two different versions of it for Smash 4 (a melee adventure mode type thing and a board game) so it's clear he still loves the concept

>>718469160 (OP)
Dev time for a new kirby game was stolen for this slop

If the Smash directs get stickies then this also deserves a sticky. Plain and FUCKING simple.

>>718470927
https://nyaa.si/view/1736463

why am i autisticc

>>718471015
Nigger you already got a whole ass Kirby game on Switch (with a Switch 2 exclusive expansion)

>>718471087
It's not enough

>>718470215
Theory: Melee fanatics played a pirated copy on a hacked wii in their hotel room at a smash tournament while high and drunk and having gay sex.
No other way to even pretend to care about this nongame on a console with so many best in the series entries.

>hopes
they release it on S1 or at least in not any time soon

>>718469443
>open world meme
that's a non issue with a game with actual combat

>>718469898
because this looks like garbage, ugly forced gcn graphics

>>718471079
no idea, but re-watching sakurai's video reminded me that air ride was originally made because of the anime, so based on my biased assumptions air riders must imply some new kirby multimedia project

>>718471015
HAL's not even working on it, genius

I’ve noticing from this thread that Kirby’s Air Ride suffers from the same sour grapes retardation that most Gamecube-era Nintendo games do, which is that because these games came from a generation older than the average /v/ user and few of them ever got a rerelease or VC port (meaning the physical copies are extremely expensive secondhand), the common narrative becomes “Oh, well since I didn’t play it I assume nobody did, and if they claim they did they must be lying.”

Narcissism of the zoomie age on full display yet again. Yes, the world revolves around YOU and YOUR perception of video games, sweet child.

>>718469160 (OP)
I hope it has an actual roster full of different Kirby characters, instead of just recolors of Kirby

>>718471015
reminder that Metroid Prime 4 died for this

>>718469160 (OP)
>Samurai is making this instead of porting KUI to the Switch
I'm coming home Hades.

>>718469278
>Casuals do not know what air ride is
>This will need to compete with NINTENDO'S SECOND BEST MARIO KART GAME EVER
Yeah, it needs a direct.

>>718471526
The point though was the copy abilities, which is Kirby's signature.

>>718471542
As a Metroid fan, I highly doubt that. MP4 can cook as long as it needs to.

>>718471542
And thats a good thing https://youtu.be/5ewS7Ollg_w?feature=shared

>>718470215
I played it one time at a friend house and I thought it was bad, my friend agreed since we swapped it for melee after 40 minutes or so.

Reminder: Sakurai thinks games are TOO CHEAP. This game will be priced at $100, MINIMUM.

5 minutes guys

>>718471542
I would accuse you of falseflagging, but I've seen a lot of Metroidfags being faggots about this direct so I can't tell anymore.

QUICK LADS TELL ME ABOUT THIS GAME I'VE NEVER PLAYED IT COME ON HURRY UP

>>718470215
The thing about Air Ride is that people don't play the main Air Ride (racing mode).
What everyone loved was City Trial, the mode that was about exploring a city and powering up before a final challenge.
It'll be interesting to see how aware Sakurai is of that fact.

>>718470215
I used to play city trial a fuckton as a kid. there was just something about that mode that was so engaging. the actual races were okay, I don't think the driving is as fun as something like mario kart

>>718470215
its the only kirby game I played

>>718471442
>so based on my biased assumptions air riders must imply some new kirby multimedia project
Nintendo is trying to build up their own connected universe. They would do an animated Kirby series that ties into the Mario movies.

>>718471574
Give it another 3 years assuming Furukawa doesn't force him straight back to the Smash mines.

MODS STICKY THIS

>>718471015
Fucking RETARD

I'm hyped and scared.
If this game looks like ass I'm gonna lose it.

>>718471957
It’s Kirby Mario Kart but the controls are literally just the stick and the A button. Nobody played the actual races and instead played a battle mode where you have several minutes to collect stat upgrades for your ship and then compete in a randomized event that could be anything from a race to a “aim for the targets” challenge.

I would be very appreciative if the mods could sticky this thread please!

I didn't care for the original, I feel nothing for this one yet maybe this direct will sell me.
The original didn't even have 45 minutes worth of shit to talk about, so I'm definitely curious.

>>718471962
It's been 20 years since the original Air Ride. I'm sure he knows.
iirc Smash Run in Smash 3DS was based on City Trial.

>>718471015
no that time was stolen by the forgotten land dlc

Kirby is the aryan ubermench
https://youtu.be/wuO4_P_8p-Q?si=Ihri-68hH__ZEZPi&t=33

sakurai has talked up AI the last few months, might be about to see a trainwreck

It’s up

>>718472135
thanks bro

VOCALS

>rated e-e10
>direct for a single game
hol up

GAY PINK THING GAY PINK THING GAY PINK THING GAY PINK THING GAY PINK THING GAY PINK THING

This shit is so fucking gay

>vocal song
So is this gonna be a thing for Kirby games from now on? Because I'm all for it.

>>718470125
If I wasn't so disillusioned by everyone circlejerking for subscriptions, I'd be in your position too
The part of me that wants Nintendo to fail because their participation in everything wrong with modern gaming hopes you aren't feeling it
On the other hand, as a KAR fan, I hope and assume it will be good, and to that end support a fellow KAR fan
>>718470215
I played air ride way more than I played double dash, and dd is my favorite mk entry. It was awesome having that unlockables board. Sakurai gets me

>>718472142
see a doctor about your lack of soul. not that he can help you but maybe enough meds can help you live an almost normal life.

what if the game is bad?

does anyone else always wear their cat girl socks for nintendo direct? :3

holy fuck sakurai looks old as shit

Sakurai's age is starting to show.

>>718472085
>>718472139
keep begging

I believe in Sakurai

The fountain of youth is drying up

Lookin' good.

>rosterfags won
It's over

sakurai always gets the most entertaining directs

ROSTERFAGS WON
SHIT

>ROSTERFAGGING IS HERE
OHNONONO
NOT AGAIN
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>718472249
>>718472250
it's a game for literal children, sometimes adults can have fun while playing it but tuning into this and complaining that it "looks gay" is very silly

>bandana dee is in
>actual characters this time
>>718472248
oh no, smash ultimate ns2 is real
>>718472315
It has to be a temporary logo.

So far so good. Wonderful direct.

KEK IT LOOKS LIKE SMASH ULTIMATE

What is even the point of this game

i remember dedede being annoying as fuck to unlock

Why are they making yet another fucking mario kart game?

HAT GOOMBA
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I don't actually care about Air Ride, I just enjoy hearing Sakurai talk and his brand of humor.

Glad Dedede is back to this look, not a fan of the Kirby 64/Forgotten Land version.

Isn't that just an MK reskin

Ahh yes Kawasaki, the fifth friend

>>718472351
>Sakurai continues to do what he wants the way he wants
Good.

>Kawasaki
>literally no other newcomers
BASED

meta knight doesn't fly anymore, wtf

damn youtubers always plugging their channels

>"MAKE A FUCKING GAME SAKURAI"
>"fine" *makes kirby air ride*

>>718472375
same
i'm just watching this because it kind of reminds me Smash Bros. directs

There's your Smash Ultimate mention.

>ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME

Yeah we get it Sakurai

Stop shilling your youtube Sakurai

>>718472359
>>718472389
You faggots are the reason we don't get new F-Zeros and should be executed.

>It's basically Mario Kart
Wowee, Switch 2 gets 2 Mario Karts?

Sakurai-san understands city trial is the GOAT

>directly addresses the why this when you have mario kart questions
kek

>km/h
OHNONONO
IMPERIALBROS

This guy is a fucking narcissist

>I'm just going to make a reskin of Mario Kart
>you guys sure you want to continue with this?
>okay then

>admitting no one gives a shit about the races in your racing game
a bold move

>>718472462
F-Zero is nothing like MK though, here even Sakurai is saying it's the same shit

>appeal is not the races
he knows

What about city trial? That's the only thing people care about

Already looks better than MKW I fear.

>>718472445
C'mon, they aren't that bad

>Isn't this just Mario Kart?
>Yes
I kneel

Should have been Mario Kart dlc …

>>718472278
What do trans-themed socks have to do with catgirls? Are you stupid?

>Yeah, it's mario kart but kirby kek what is miyamoto going to do cry?
Did he really need to say that?!

>>718472445
More like Scamco

"Why make a new F-Zero when Mario kart exists"

Nintendo once said this by the way

>>718472486
Making up for the Switch getting 0.

>>718472494
>directly addresses
But he didn't make any arguments, he just showed some footage that looks like MK instead...

>>718472486
>bitching about having 2 cakes

Sakurai ain't beating the allegations today.

a b press is a b press, you can't say it's only a half

>one button is back
Hell yeeaaah

>sakurai is really giving us a tutorial on racing games
Huh?

>>718472506
Honestly the best thing he could've said.
I now have 100% faith in this game.

>shitty ass pop song like in Smash
I fucking hate Sakurai so much

NINTENDO WON
SAKURAI-SAMA WON

but what about half a press?

>>718472539
This is Daddy Sakurai, he can say anything he wants

DURIFTO

>>718472532

>Drift slop
Yes fuck yes

>>718472579

>Bamco is developing this with Sora Ltd

Good, this isn't his franchise anymore. Baby steps. Now let's see if he can do the same in Smash Bros.

SOUL

>>718473304
did you not notice that the original air ride uses the melee art style
i'm pretty sure kirby's model in that game is taken directly from melee

>NOO THE GAME SHOULD BE UNBALANCED FOR THE LORE
FUNgods won
lorecucks lost

>>718473338
Same...

>>718473352
kirby is a false god CONFIRMED

>>718473197
Sakurai bias isn't truly over until she, a human character, is in.

>>718473341
Out of spite.

>>718473368
jojo reference

they nerfed spark because it used to be overpowered, I remember fucking up my friends with it all the time

>everyone can have the copy ability now
Thats fucking awesome!

>>718473416

>Too many racers makes the game not fun
God bless his Mario Kart shit talk.

MOSES IS IN

KIRBY SPLITS THE OCEAN! HE IS MOSES

>Calling Mario Kart World out
Sakurai. What are you doing!?

kino map desu

>they don't know who starman is
Have you fags actually played a Kirby game?

>twenty more minutes
we're about to see something crazy

>>718473416
>>718473428
from kirbys adventure, when he first got copy ability

Uh oh snoys are having their meltdown

AND KIRBY PARTED THE WATERS
AND LET THE JEWS CROSS THE RED SEA

I can't believe sakurai can part the sea

APOLOGIZE

F-Zerobros we've been replaced...

>>718473542
He's meant to be a star, you know?

That's banger ass shirt. Anyone know where I can shop for that? It looks like hugo.

>parting the sea
Item Bounce any second now

>>718473546
Item bounce's theme was intentional all along...

HOLY SHIT

I still thing is suicide to launch another Nintendo IP racer when Mario Kart is already out.

Am I going insane or is this really choppy? Like.. not 60fps

>>718473556
Crashing this race with no survivors

I thought City Trial would be the main game mode, why is just playing it like Mario Kart?

How the fuck can this direct last another 20 minutes and more?

>>718473567
I played Kirby Air Ride and one GBA game

nice water

>>718473572
>obssesion out of nowhere

>>718473570
I assume it'll be padded heavily with Sakurai playing random matches to show off the game.

This man is a treasure
Also even fucking sonic called out Mario kart

>Start last and attack to first place
Um I thought he said he hated MK?

KIRBY WILL SAVE THE JEWISH PEOPLE FROM SERVITUDE IN EGYPT CONFIRMED

SAKURAI YOU FUCKING ERIC AC SNOY DONT YOU DARE SHITPOST ABOUT MARIO KART WORLD FUCK YOU

Holy screen shake

He's just flexing now.

>>718473621
city trial will be the entire second half

>>718473638
>t. snoyim

sakurai pretends like he isnt good at games then does that shit

>first Sonicfags laughing at MKWorld
>now Kirbychads
World gets the last laugh by selling more than both your racers combined.

kirby parted the red sea
let my people go

>>718473605
they put my HERO in???

>>718473654
Lmao someone's trying too hard!
Sit down little man, your blood pressure is too high.

Was he using a GC controller? Based.

>there isn't a lot of repetition
shots fired at MKW again kekaroo

>>718473607
>Am I going insane or is this really choppy? Like.. not 60fps
What, you were expecting 60 fps on a Nintendo game? They don't do that

FLORIDA IS IN

>>718473606
that game is shit albeit

This is P E A K level design

City Trial is for the 80 minutes September direct

Cyberion Highway looks cool as fuck I will absolutely play that stage.

>gentle breeze
Heh... *tips fedora* I understood that reference *snork*

fucking hell is sakurai going to make me get a switch 2

>the sea is parted
>now golem returns
Ok, Item Bounce has to return now.

That water track looked really good
Wonder if the higher ups saw how mario kart world was turning out and asked him to make another racer

Mario kart world is peak and filters redditors unlike this shit.

>>718473719
>revealing your hand early on

You know this game looks pretty fun. I would buy it but not for 80 lmao. 40 would have been a kino

>>718473678
First KI:U, now this

I can't wait for Item Bounce 2

>>718473606
this game is like 6 months after mario kart world? sales wont get canabalized

Didn't play the original but this looks great.
Might be day one buy for me.

Would it be wrong to say I do still like having the original albeit generic maps

ngl this music slaps fr fr

I love Sakurai, but he shouldn't just go and say "it's a really good game" when talking about a game he himself produced. It's ridicoulus.

>>718473607
it's a fucking Direct video. of course it's 60FPS

>>718473607
>>718473692
>3rd world phonefag 480p feed retards out themselves

MARIO KART-KUCKS BTFO

Tracks look rad

Track design is eh
World easily mogs it

this looks a lot better than mario kart world

>>718473172
>so desperate to not get cucked like the prequel they bought in the most popular waifu

>>718473606
No, Diddy Kong Racing did incredibly well on N64, it came out after Mario Kart 64, and both games were still played and loved.

I'll be honest, I don't really care about the original Air Ride but this looks more appealing just due to MKWorld being turd-like

It looks too slow though, Sakurai needs to get over his obsession with making games playable for everyone including your grandma

tailgating meta

Sakurai pretends to be a youtuber, how cute

>>718473742
Air Ride cucked Double Dash and Air Riders is currently fucking World
Deal with it

LEAVE YOUR SLOW FRIENDS BEHIND

Get left behind slow retards

fucking slic is back?

Lmao, looks like this will be the third failure of a direct in a row

Intelligent online design in a fucking nintendo game? Masaka...

I only now just realized that Kirby is the main character of every Smash Bros game.

>>718473798
>Straight line intermission tracks are better

Look at this faggot

Mario Kart sissies... we just keep getting dabbed on

>>718473836
>the devs demonstrating that they can play the game is bad
what did anon mean by this

>don't have to wait for the slowfags

>>718473818

>smash bros rom hack asset flip

Holy shit, this looks awful. Will only buy if that has a 120fps mode.

>Rex wheel

he likes his own game, what's the problem here its not like he's manipulating the fans they can literally see the gameplay and judge for themselves

WHERE IS SHE?

>>718473884
no, masahiro

why does this entire game feel like a direct critique of MK World lmao.
this looks so good I'm not even mad about Nintendo killing mario kart anymore.

IT'S TIME

GOD FUCKING DAMNIT

IT LOOKS LIKE A POKEMON MAP

this looks pretty small?

Where are the P Switches?

they should let sakurai make a mainline kirby game

>>718474019
Looks kind of small.

>>718474028
What happened to the city?

>>718474019
Nice joke. Where's the real map?

Nobody really cared about it. Can't say I'm surprised but considering the characters are actually characters this time, I'm more than fine with it.

God I hope not

>>718474118
Lmao

>16 Players
YES

Why are they wasting time and money on this Gamecube-ass looking game when no one is going to buy it after Mario Kart anyway?

Putting Mario Kart to shame.

Yoooooo

BATTLE ROYALE

16 PLAYER CITY TRIAL

It's a fucking Battle Royale lmao

OH SHIT NIGGA 16 PLAYERS CT

>target flight is back again
Fuck.
>16 player city trial with online
HOLY FUCK.

>niggle doo
oh no no no

CITY FUCKING TRIAL
16 PLAYERS
FUCK YOUR OWN FACE

>>718474118
LMFAO

>8 player local wireless
has there been any game like this with that capability since the 3DS?

>>718474145
Because they owed Sakurai a favor for Ultimate and will be owing him another for the next Smash.

>>718473891
Even the remade Mario Circuits are more interesting than this

>>718474145
Because this is a game for people with tastes.

Anyone else love Kirby Airride as a kid but have literally 0 interest in this game, especially at full price.

I love the 321 fast countdown

I want to know the voice of announcer

Susie runnibg over Meta Knight with her truck.

>don't have to jump off to change star
soulless

MORE FUCKING BUTTONS THIS IS TOO COMPLICATED

You guys know as well as i (and Sakurai) that this game is not going to sell because everyone will buy Mario fucking Kart instead.

>>718473962
f-zero you faggot

>snoys trying to create a fake rivalry between Mario Kart and Kirby
Pathetic effort as usual

is sakurai genuinely the only decent dev left in AAA?
dude just gets it

>>718474256
Tsmt

Welcome to growing up Momoi.

>>718474293
Don't get me wrong, I love Nintendo games. Just the switch 2 has been nothing but experiences I dont give a single shit about. Why are 2/3 launch titles RACING GAMES?

I'm just here to see if they're bringing Item Bounce back.

>>718474335
>>718474347
why would you want it to be more

I am still salty mario kart don't do this anymore after DS

I hope they kept the UFO event, first time that happened I soifaced irl

The fuck does he mean 1/16 chances to win?
Either i win or i don't, so it's 1/2.

>>718474789
You're right I don't. My Switch 1 is getting the job done until the next Splatoon and Xenoblade are released. Then I'll drop some money on the Switch 2.

>>718474797
>small niche fanbase
Based and soulful

The UI is absolutely soulless

nintendo loves including images of real food as healing items in their games

>>718474797
it started at 8am CST when normal people are working

>>718474818
second party doesnt exist. This is first

Where is the nintendo guest character?

>>718474837
But how would you feel if you DIDN'T eat breakfast?

well... I see I'm not the target audience for Smash and Riders

am I the only one?

>>718474870
It's their best attempt at a realistic graphic

>>718474885
But it’s 9:35pm right now?

>>718474848
Alright tranny, keep saving your SSIs maybe you'll manage to have enough when Xenoblade 4 comes lmao

Top Ride bros........ Is it over for us?

sakurai looks so tired...
they should let him rest

>>718474797
its fucking 8 on a Tuesday

>If you are playing against 16 players you have a 1/16 chance of winning

anyone that isn't American isn't normal

>>718474953
mfw when I see food lol!

I hope we can adjust the time limit for City Trial. 5 minutes is not near long enough. 7-10 minutes would be nice.

he's in!

>>718474997

That's a fucking anime exclusive track. It's even got a remix of the opening in it.

>>718471414
gcn graphics are kino, but that fangame wants to be sonicshit more than kirby so it sucks

>>718474953
imagine how good he would feel on your dick

IT'S JUST SANIC FRONTIERS

>>718474901
Like this

>>718475045
t. Never played the orignal game

i remember just using the hydra to bullet train on the rails

Unpopular opinion , the music was what made city trial great not the gameplay , the track that they used for the new one is soft af

>>718473821
Air Ride isn't playable for everyone though? It's not as brain dead as Mario Kart there's a bit of min maxing in city trial, knowledge of the different air ride machines, and you have to know how to boost properly and now use the special button. its a bit more complicated than Mario kart but its still for kids as well

>>718475045
You could adjust lap no. for races, I figure there'll be something similar for City Trial. That said, online will be 5 mins whether you like it or not.

>>718474984
Projection is a sign of mental illness

>>718475105
How do you know if it'll always be the same track every time?

KIRBYBROS?

VIEWERS DROPPING AT A STEADY RATE

>45min for this
I think Nintendo is greatfully overestimating just how much there is to talk about a game like this. Could have been 5-10min segment of a regular Direct.

>>718474947
He didn't consider how much i suck compared to the average player, so my chances are actually lower than that.
Stupid Sakurai.

>>718474531
>switch 2 review bombing because of console seethe and not because of game
>user score and not the higher metacritic review one
disingenuous

>>718474947
Did he just confirm skill does not matter?

Isn't this just a racing battle royale mode?

>he put in the dynamic camera when you kill someone from smash ult
thank you sakurai

>>718475092
use the hig def version loser

>>718475169
Sakurai asked for 2 hours

If they remake the OG City Trial later on the game will be 11/10

>>718475169
Sakurai likes to talk and Sakurai gets what he wants.

Kinda surprised how small the City map is? I dont know why I expected it to be huge but he covers it in like 10 seconds........................................

>>718475159
Why so defensive? I was agreeing with you.

sakurai is a pretty smart dude, if he made a game that wasn't specifically aimed at casual family audiences it'd probably be really good

The map lacks verticality compared to the first one

I really hope no one buys this crap

>the health bar can still clip off screen

>>718475169

Saar, SAAR WHY DID YOU REDEEM THE AIR RIDERS SAAR? NINTENDO IS BAD SAAR
