Thread 723794692

OK finally. Kirby direct's happening again.

didn't he sump up the whole game modes already?

>>723794692 (OP)
Top Ride and hopefully story mode.

>>723794782
That's some really poor grammar, anon...

>>723794782
There is still Top Ride, the story mode and the trophy list to reveal

https://x.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1980620454323740736

>roughly 60 minutes
>previous one was 45
Damn, I know Sakurai loves to hear the sound of his own voice, but there must still be a lot to cover.

We will be watching

>Nintendo is charging $70 for this
>after charging $70 for fetus game
Lmfaooo

Predict more characters.

>>723795348
daroach
adeline
broom
frosty
the mage sisters

>>723795112
It's Sakurai.
His games give you alot of bang for your buck.

>kirby only
Why?

>>723795431
It's interesting because the original Air Ride didn't.
>muh grind the achievement board for each mode
I'm assuming this one will be closer to recent Smash games or Kid Icarus Uprising with more proper content on top of the arbitrary grind.

>60 minutes of sakurai kino just for him to explain his gamefu no one gives 2 shits about

based. I dont even have a SW2 but I personally think the game looks crazy fun. Also very nice of nintendo to force him to make it knowing he really liked the old one and wished it wasnt so rushed.

>>723795348
Rick or we riot.

I do not like these Sakurai focused Directs. It's always him sucking himself off for like half an hour and talking about gameplay concepts that are easily explained in under a minute excessively. It's a sequel to a super simple racing game, get over yourself.

>>723795745
retard

>>723794692 (OP)
It’s crazy that they are wasting so much airtime on this game when barely anybody cares about it while condemning Metroid prime to a sizzle reel

>>723795745
inb4 info that turns air riders into goty

$10 says Toby Fox did a song for him

>>723795745
you guys are such wusses, my god.

>>723795817
There is no scenario where we need hours of explanation on how a Kirby game works. We get it.

>>723795745
>nooo, stop being passionate about your creation!
You’re a loser, man

>>723796021

>>723795864
>wasting so much airtime
You act like there's a tv schedule where they have limited timeslots for directs.
If I had this guys working for me then I'd give him all the time he needs.

>>723795348
With the way the roster is looking it would be weird not to see Taranza. Haltmann would be a fun surprise

>>723795348
No Spinni, no buy

>more old-school enemies and characters from Kirby games he didn't direct
>Top Ride
>achievement boards
>unlockable trophies
>story mode with well-produced cutscenes you assholes will just upload on youtube

>>723795112
anon that guy loves to talk a lot, and whenever he talks it's tantalizing

>>723794692 (OP)
>60 minutes long
What else is there to possibly talk about except maybe a couple characters and courses he didn’t cover last time?

>>723794692 (OP)
Maybe in this one he will show off the content that would justify the $70 price tag.

I already got Susie confirmed so I'm safe from rosterfagging. Feels good.

>>723796256
if you've watched his presentations and shit, a lot of it is just him casually playing the game or talking about details

>>723796269
> Susie is fat

>air riders 2
Dreamland broke the ceasefire agreement with the mushroom kingdom?

>>723795348
Just one anime character. Escargoon, tiff, idgaf. Sakurai said the first air ride was developed to coincide with the anime, the game used music from the anime, and Sakurai oversaw the anime. It'd truly make this the everyone is here of Kirby rosters

>>723796912
Escargoon please

why are people incapable of understanding the concept of giving passion for a game

>>723794692 (OP)
How much more do we really need to know?
This is just blatant advertising now

I need to know this nigger

>>723795348
I want Bonkers and Chilly. I would love for Adeleine to be playable but that's highly unlikely.

>>723794692 (OP)
This is going to be the funniest flop of the man’s career

>>723795745
post accolades

>>723796041
>>nooo, stop being passionate about your creation!
Yes. Get to the fucking point cause I don’t care otherwise

>>723797685
it's already a success in Japan

I actually don't want to see everything the game has to offer before I even play it, but cool.

>>723795348

And that covers it

>>723797878
it's going to have a battle mode, count on it

>>723797735
you're brown

>>723797854
We used to be surprised by extra features in games
Now they're all shoved in our faces

>>723794897
If you think that's all reread the OP

Every direct should have a little “live Sakurai reaction” window instead of the usual narration.

He’s a much better showman than literally anyone else working with Nintendo

>>723797931
because the discourse is "wow so little content"

>>723795948
I think Toby's done with Nintendo stuff for now until he finishes up Deltarune considering he skipped out on doing songs for Pokemon Z

>>723797735
If you can't listen to the director talk about his game then you likely don't care anyway.
This isn't just for sakurai or nintendo, but any game.

>>723794692 (OP)
I’m probably going to get the game and I like Sakurai and all but someone needs to tell him to shut the fuck up at some point.

>>723797106
It's just normalfags think Smash Bros and Metroid and Zelda are the only thing that "deserve" attention

>>723798082
based false flag king

>>723797909
That's called City Trial

>>723798082
I really don't get this
Do you not want to know about the story mode before buying the game?

>>723798176
nah, as in actual combat rather than some pseudo "rack up points"

>>723798153
I’m serious though. We don’t need a full length feature film of Sakurai sucking his own cock.

>>723797685
I don't think it'll bomb, I doubt the game will do Forgotten Land numbers but hitting the average for Kirby shouldn't be hard. They clearly expect the game to be a big hit since they're doing $70 so I could be wrong.

>>723798238
seriously

as a long time sakurai fan it is totally terrible he's doing this

fuck off loser

>>723798238
>just talk about the game
>somehow it's "self sucking"
if passionate talk is allergic to you, you can of course not watch this. why is this existing angers you?

>>723798262
Calm down faggot Jesus Christ

>but metroid
>but age of imprisonment
the next game to be released is Kirby

>>723798291
It's a Kirby game, not a Tolkien novel. He's also the only one that does this at Nintendo

>>723797106
Autism/psychoptahy
Complete lack of empathy so they don't comprehend others have different opinions.

>>723798387

No one is forcing you to watch it, moron. Literally complaining about shit existing like a f*male or a faggot.

>>723798387
Yeah everyone else should also do it it's cool

>>723798387
ah so >>723798120 is right
>He's also the only one that does this at Nintendo
so? maybe they should learn how to present content like this, be engaging and intricate. also he doesn't work at Nintendo

>>723794782
Top Ride has been the twitter account's avatar since it went up.

>>723798387
He's also the only one that does this at Nintendo
Far from it. Miyamoto usually speaks in a lot of the presentations he’s involved in like the recent Mario movies or about the Nintendo theme park.

>>723794782
>>723794906
What is Top Ride?

>>723794692 (OP)
I can't wait for Thursday. Sakurai managed to get me to cancel the upcoming zelda game for his game. I think I made the right choice.

>>723795745
narcissism is based when the narcissist is talented. sakurai is my favourite director because hes honest with his design likes/dislikes and always makes fun games with a huge amount of content. he deserves to speak frankly about himself.

>>723798210
City Trial has combat minigames in it. I think if Sakurai thought combat was worth its own mode he wouldn't have had minigames for it in City Trial

>>723798524
No those are the figurines/trophies, unless you use them in Top Ride
>>723798602
Definitely Musouss are kind of meh

>>723794887
>>723794906
What is Top Ride? And there's a story mode??

>>723798387
Maybe it's because he works WITH Nintendo, not FOR them.

>>723795348
"literally who" pick

>>723798674
And honestly it isn't even self-sucking. Anon just sounds like that usual person who is angry at someone else being better.

>>723798602
Pic related I'm actually really worried about. Having a system in City Trial where you can end up in a lone stadium and people can choose based on their stats is an atrocious idea. Everyone should be funneled into one stadium, the stadium choosing could easily ruin online play like the intermissions in Mario Kart

>>723798797
This is Top Ride, basically a little casual arcade mode
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFVbiYiBm58

>>723794906
Top ride returning would be really nice.

>>723796419
>Those P2 Susie fat gens

>>723795348
The sleepy boy can function as a living poison mushroom, poor handling and stuff but touching him puts others to sleep briefly.

Another direct where they spend 10 minutes describing in detail how to push the A button to jump…riveting

>>723797735
Anon, there will be some Youtuber who makes a summary of this shit if you don't have attention span to watch a 1h video.

>>723796146
Wouldn't be surprised if he added Galacta and even Morpho.
Sadly, I don't think he'll be doubling down on characters from the same entry from games that he didn't work on (other than the potential Mage Sisters + Hyness), especially if they're related.
Bigger question is the Star Allies furries.

>>723799102
this but unironically

>>723799163
>said youtuber somehow manages to miss details in spite of it

>>723796067
Not sure if you meant for it to but this came off as really rude, just letting you know. Hope you have a good day

>>723795480
Because the Switch 2 has nothing else going for it "until next year"

>>723799180
I want Zero 2 and his special attack can the cactus coming out of his asshole and farting on everyone
Seriously what the fuck were the developers thinking with that design element
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-UlE5J81Js

>>723799209
Exactly. But that anon doesn't seem to care much about details and just wants everything quickly. At least he doesn't spend over 1h on 4chan some days.

>>723794692 (OP)
What the fuck, why is it on the 23th month in the year?

>>723799102
you cant jump in normal racers so its a good thing to go over to understand how airtime works

>>723799336
You called Kirby a waste of airtime. I think that's pretty rude in itself.
Enjoy your day too.

>>723799383
And what does it have next year so far outside of a yoshi game that looks like it was made for five year olds and more Mario sports shovelware?

>>723794692 (OP)
Are there any good autistic 3 hours explanations of Kirby lore for when the story mode inevitably ends up being catered to lorefaggots

>>723798575
It's when Susie gets on top and ride my dick

it's not yet thursday, why is he samefagging

>>723799478
You’re right I’m sorry, I’m just salty that it seems like they don’t care about it. Didn’t mean to take it out on you guys. Hope you enjoy the direct anon, maybe after this releases they will spend more time on Metroid

>>723799485
Faia Emburemu

>>723799690
Riveting

>>723799102
>>723799715
who even still says that

>>723799393
He'll be susceptible to Sakurai's initial excuses of TOO BIG

>>723799436
Because we have a retarded date notation system in the U.S

>>723799764
Me and that anon. We are refined.

>>723799485
Probably Mario Galaxy 3

>>723799596
Oh fuck the direct is in Thursday too. The double whammy will kill him.

>>723799764
lol wow that’s funny, I’m not even the guy who posted that first message. That’s a funny coincidence. I might have skimmed that post earlier and subconsciously had that word at the top of my mind but I don’t even recall reading it

>>723799621
Metroid is sort of able to speak for itself. Nintendo has a habit of making these godawful explainer-trailers that go into too much detail of things that are better discovered through process of playing the game.
As much as I really want Prime to succeed, I don't want them to spend 15 minutes explaining 70% of the powerups you can find whilst the voice over guy goes "you can shoot, scan, and roll your way across mysterious planets in Metroid prime 4, for the Nintendo Switch. And enhanced on the Nintendo Switch 2"

>>723799778
Good point, maybe Dark Matter or Miracle Matter then
Honestly Miracle Matter should have just been the final boss of Kirby 64, Zero Two was clearly an undercooked concept and his fight and music were lame compared to Miracle Matter

>>723799871
That would be awesome, do you think they would make it open world?

>>723795864
>>723798120

>>723796912
i would fucking cum if tiff got in the game

>>723799962
lol true that voiceover guy that they use is so grating

>>723798842
managed to become a spirit for smash so I guess sakuri does know em

>>723799962
>Metroid prime 4, for the Nintendo Switch
Uh, actually it's The Metroid Prime 4 game for the Nintendo Switch system.

>>723799980
It'd be sick if you could travel between the galaxies this time as long as it doesn't lead to a bunch of downtime with nothing happening but I doubt they'd go for that
Seriously if all they have to tie in for the movie were the shitty overpriced ports and there's no Galaxy 3 coming out too I'm gonna be pissed

>>723800031
If you have something to say to me do so instead of being a passive aggressive little bitch

>>723800148
Yeah it could be cool if they did it right but they already kind of did that in odyssey so I’d be interested to see how they change it up

>>723800152
The fact that you stuck around for an hour says a lot.

>>723800152
I just linked to my post because I thought it was funny also yes you are a normalfag

i won't buy kirby air riders 2 if they don't put up with a new item bounce

Why no Prime 4 direct?

>>723795864
The most literally who Kirby game is still gonna sell better than anything with Metroid in the title

>>723800219
What are you even talking about you fucking loser I’m having a couple of nice conversations with other anons here about Metroid, Mario and other things. If you aren’t going to add anything meaningful to the thread just fuck off, people like you are the reason it’s so difficult to discuss anything Nintendo related because you make us all seem insane

>>723800310
They probably showed the BIG NEW IMPORTANT things in the previous trailers already and want to save the rest in the game so it's obviously not a party game where lore is irrelevant.
Also because Japan doesn't give a shit especially compared to how beloved Kirby is there, so why waste time and resources over that for meager views.

>>723800393

>One hour of Sakurai nerding out about frame analysis of his own games
O boy I can't wait for a good night of sleep for once.

>>723799621
There is also the fact that Sakurai doesn't take salary but he takes royalty from sales so I wouldn't be surprised if he is really more eager to promote the game compared your average developer.

>>723800251
I’m a normalfag because I like Metroid? One of nintendos most niche franchises? Are you alright?

>>723800310
Because Prime 4 isn't finished, as usual.

>>723800432
If you keep reading the thread you would see that I apologized for that after that anon pointed it out. I had a lapse of judgment and posted out of frustration, it happens

>>723800471
Probably means you're a normalfag because you're reacting like one right now, anon.

>>723800541
Well then stop being frustrated, you fucking monkey.

>>723795348
ENTER

>>723800592
Lmao yeah you right

>>723794692 (OP)
This game is going to have all the content and features people wanted out of Mario Kart World at a cheaper price point and it's going to piss off Nintendo's internal developers a lot when it gets a more active online playerbase

>>723800810
Yeah bro she made me lasagna after, it wasn’t that good but I appreciate the sentiment

>>723800748
I wonder if it was just the artists taking the piss
"Well we did a bloody eyeball explosion last time and no parents complained so what retarded garbage should we make next?"

>>723800889
I wonder if the green was supposed to be red blood but they had to censor that because other people caught onto that.

>>723795348
I predict that Mr. Frosty will get in.

>>723801097
Oh great he’s here, someone make another thread this one is ruined

>>723800310
It comes out after Kirby, stupid. And it’s not a game that is suited to a direct or many trailers. It’ll get a good launch trailer and ad push

>>723801043
If that was the case the eyeball wouldn't have made red stuff appear
On another note the wings are supposed to be fucked up and veiny
I genuinely think the Kirby devs were on drugs when they came up with the ending for Kirby 64 and it was inspired by LSD hallucinations

>>723801232
Eyeballs don’t bleed

>>723801290
Zero and subsequently Zero Two isn't a normal eyeball

>>723801232
On another note I'm really disappointed in Kirby Star Allies because Void Termina is basically Zero 3 and they pussied out of finally doing the vein wings justice with more powerful hardware in favor of doing the polygon wings instead, which is never what they were supposed to look like

>>723801203
Is there a problem?

>>723800703
You’re delusional if you think that, sorry. And World is active online. The intermission hate is super overblown and the balance vs regular tracks is better now. Shame the battle mode is anemic and maps are mostly ass thougj

>>723801290
Fair but in this case it's definitely supposed to invoke blood

>>723801381
That would imply that non-lorefags would've remembered the vein wings from screenshots and not just dropped the N64 game entirely after getting the true ending.

>>723801381
That void termina fight was the highlight of the game. Felt like the only part that wasn’t phoned in before the high effort fanservice dlc

>>723801549
The vein wings show up during the credits sequence, and the Kirby devs are obviously lorefags so I was hoping they'd go for it at somepoint. Maybe ESRB and CERO just hate blood and anything like it now

>>723799525
There are a few but they are outdated

>>723801595
Kirby Star Allies is such a weird fucking game because if you show people the boss fights and the DLC and the giant character roster and the soundtrack they'd think it's the greatest Kirby game ever made but the actual main story campaign is the worst in the entire series

>>723794692 (OP)
Good on Sakurai for using his status to get attention to his passion project I guess. I don't think this will sell that well, but I'm happy to see that even industry veterans care about their babies like this.

>>723801778
The fact that it only had 4 "world maps" confused the fuck out of me because the game ended up being so damn short. And the baseball meteor and woodchopping minigames were dogshit

>>723801595
I hope one day they do a Switch 2 edition where they bring the game up to 60FPS like every other game with the RTDL engine and improve the level design. Unlikely but a man can dream [land]

>>723801803
Kirby popularity has never been higher. It will easily sell 5-6 million

>>723801381
A lot of Ado's credits art in 3 and 64 made the characters more detailed than they actually looked. Remember the Boss Butch credits?
They could have totally done the vein wings on the N64 if that's what they had intended them to look like in the first place.
Also this >>723801625 CERO is way way stricter about blood than they were in 2000.

>>723801941
>improve the level design
Wouldn't work since they'd still have to take friend AI into consideration.

>>723801930
I wonder if they wanted to release the game later on when all the DLC was done and the game was good but the executives told them to rush it out with just the main mode and finish it later.

>>723802018
The friend stuff was a terrible idea and I hope if they do a 2D game again they drop it and just have normal optional multiplayer with single player taking priority

>>723802028
Wouldn't be surprised. I forgot if it was a slow year for the Switch at that point.

>>723801778
The most ridiculous part was how hyperactive the AI partners were. Kirby games are always pretty easy until end or post game, but your allies would solve every puzzle for you the instant you stepped into a room. Not sure if I’ve ever played another game that does that. Felt like I was just there to walk the ai from place to place

>>723802148
It was 2018 which was really shit aside from Xenoblade 2 DLC and Smash Ultimate and the start of the year was just Wii U ports aside from fucking Labo so they probably wanted something safe that was also a new game. Is a shame though.

>>723802349
Damn.

>>723802417
I remember their E3 presentation was literally 70% Smash Ultimate because they didn't have anything else to show. At least it was a good fucking game to have 70% of your showcase focused on.

>>723802004
Good point on the art, hope one day they do a game that looks more like it kind of like how Mario Wonder tried to look more like the old 2D art

>>723795745
Sakurai is a bit of a narcissist but he does live to go into every little detail about the game and will almost always show real gameplay of the game. Its clear he thinks about the user experience a lot. Its his style and its commendable.

>>723802153
Yeah the AI is insane. Even Soul Melter EX can be mostly trivialized if you just add 3 AIs with one of the OP characters.

>>723802004
Puritanism about mild blood is so ridiculous. Do parents just pretend their kids don't see blood when they get cuts?

>>723801447
Yeah

>>723801697
Link them anyways I'll research whatever's missing after

forgotten land is better than star allies

>>723804789
Well yeah it was actually released as a finished game lmao

>>723794692 (OP)
is nintendo trying to lose money on purpose? who tf cared about kirby ever?

>>723804940

I think he will announce the story mode this time

UFO looks a little different...

>>723800794
Yeah it does look good but I haven't even beaten botw let alone start totk. I don't want a new game to just be collecting dust like TOTK when I can get a fresh new game that doesn't need prior entries. Same with Xenoblade.

>>723809539
>I haven't beaten BOTW
How far are you? If you haven't get the DLC and do Trial of the Sword and Champion's Ballad before beating the game. Elevates the experience quite a bit in my opinion

>>723808172
But thats not dark matter, thats dedede.

>>723810117
>dark dedede to follow-up with dark meta knight
...I wouldn't put past him to do that.

>>723810117
Yes, the guy who's been possessed by Dark Matter four separate times. Your point?

>>723809837
I've had BOTW and the DLC since launch and got around 30 hours in before dropping it for other games. A couple years later picked it back up and decided to do a new playthrough for about 60 hours just goofing around and enjoying much of the world with only one dungeon getting complete. When the Switch 2 came out I decided to just up and fully do another playthrough and I just got passed the tutorial again. I'm thinking by this point I just need to obligate a whole month to it like with this Xenoblade Chronicles playthrough because otherwise it'll be left behind for a 3rd time.

Ribbon and the cats are all I ask for

You call smash ultimate a game with a lot of content? That shit doesn’t even have trophies anymore
He is washed as fuck now and puts out half baked games just like everyone else

>>723812134
It's a long ass game if you do the DLC+Main quests so probably yeah
Trial of the Sword is easily the hardest part of entire game so make sure you're comfortable with the game when you go for that. I'd actually do it after Champion's Ballad as the last thing before Hyrule Castle Calamity Ganon
Also don't go into TOTK afterwards expecting much, it's fun and experimental with Ultrahand as has some fucking kino moments but BOTW with its DLC is a much more fulfilling quest IMO

>>723808423
You're doing God's work carrying on Kimishima's vision

>>723812582
*the entire game
*Hyrule Castle+Calamity Ganon
*has some fucking kino moments
Sorry I'm not ESL just sleep deprived

>who tf cared about kirby ever?
if it has a pop up cafe in japan, it means it is a precious IP

>>723807303
he's already doing that here even

>>723812550
Yes, Ultimate is, in fact, a game with a lot of content, disingenuous faggot.

>>723794782
He needs the spotlight, this whiny ass botox filled autistic faggot can't help himself. It'll be 40 minutes of lecturing shit about game development and commentary while he plays and 2 minutes of new characters like Sir Kibble and Marx.

It was the Evangelion era for nips.

Maybe now that they're getting this out of the way, they can do a Prime 4 Dire-

>>723814292
isn't the whole point of metroid exploration and secrets
wouldn't a direct go against that
