Seeing that the top games are EA, Ubisoft, and Call of Duty, is this really surprising? Seems like most of the audience buying games in the UK right now is more towards AI and pay-to-win games, so not finished and cared for games like Kirby Air Riders!
These look really high quality, but not worth $50 or anywhere close to that. I don't really plan to get any more amiibo until they start selling them at normal prices. These should realistically be $25, and the rest of the amiibo should be $12-15.
Why are the main complaints that it's too hard for beginners? There's lots of games that had no complaints that are much harder. There are so many lessons too for those starting out!
@Metazoxan These big gaming companies that are laying off employees seem to refuse to take a bit off of their hundreds of millions of dollars that their CEO is making, so obviously they have different priorities. That's why Nintendo is different, because they take steps to care about their employees.
Having statues of characters that should've already been in the game is a lame way to try to get people to pay for what should be free content. What a sad way to bring back these characters.
Donkey Kong Bananza is an excellent game, but this DLC is just a priced version what Mario Odyssey did for free. I was very disappointed with this game's post-game content, and this DLC made it somehow even worse.
I mean people willingly bought Scarlet/Violet knowing it was a beta test, many pokemon fans don't really care about quality anyways so why not make it cheaper?
Pokemon fans have it the worst out of any Nintendo franchise, now its always the lowest quality, cheapest, cash-grabbing games Nintendo has ever published.
WAIT YOU CAN DISABLE AUTO LOCK???!? That was one of my biggest complaints about the game!
After Mario Kart World's "you will play the game how WE want you to and you will like it", I wasn't expecting them to actually listen to their fans for this kind of stuff. Awesome!
Since there’s no Switch 2 resolution bump or mouse controls or anything I think we still could get a switch 2 edition!
This is one of Nintendo's best soundtracks they've made. Really happy we finally got it! Please bring this game back Nintendo it's so much better than New Horizons.
This game looks so huge, how did they make all of this? So much customization, and the story looks epic! 02, Galactic Nova, Star Beam, and Nightmare all seem very promising.
Hoping to get more characters, seem like not all of them have been revealed. (PLEASE Adeleine!)
in 12 hours both a top 3 favorite game of all time got announced to be brought back and a Direct for Air Riders also got announced, I'd say these announcements alone were better than the September Direct!
@CrazyCaps No I totally agree this game is great (at least from what I've played of the original, and it's probably about the same gameplay wise), but I don't think any game is worth picking up at all if they choose game key card.
I loved this game on GameCube, no interest since its game key card. I don't plan on buying any version, because it doesn't seem like they care about this game at all.
It's a shame since this is the first and only 3rd party game I've been really interested in.
Cool! Glad these 9 tracks didn't take a slot for this week, but also glad that they're here! These are some of the best from the soundtrack, but really hoping for the rest at somepoint! please Gang Plank Galleon and King of Rot especially!
Nintendo is very anti-consumer this generation, if people just don't buy amiibo and game-key cards, I bet they'll learn their lesson.
That being said I love how these look, and the technology is more complex than your typical amiibo, but $50 each is still insane. Even $30 for normal amiibo is absurd, I'm pretty much done with amiibo now.
Can't wait for Kirby Air Riders, I'm not getting the amiibo but the game looks phenomenal!
@Liam_Doolan What does this mean? "I was introduced to [a] Direct within [a] Direct... I'll do it! It's not something I can make right away, but please be patient" Can we have the original post so I can translate it?

When will they go back to normal DK?
Re: UK Charts: Kirby Is Nowhere To Be Seen In A Quiet Week
@SBandy1 Yeah US has overall bad taste too, similar unfinished (pokemon) and AI $70 yearly rereleases (EA, Ubisoft)
I overall disagree overall with the taste of games based on sales no matter what country.

Re: Opinion: City Trial Is Kirby Air Riders At Its Best, But It Needs More Maps To Thrive Long-Term
I'm fine with 1, but I'd love to be able to play the original map (or a bigger version of it)!
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond - Meet The Team
Glad they're having the funny characters like in Metroid Prime 3!
Re: Japanese Charts: Kirby Air Riders Is Off To A Flying Start
I really hope that this continues to sell, it is by far the best Switch 2 experience so far, you're missing out if you don't have this yet!

Re: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Gets A New Movie Poster
@NotASockPuppet Wdym? I just like Mario with a sombrero, and many of the other Odyssey outfits!
Re: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Gets A New Movie Poster
Where's Mario Sombrero? I love how he looks in that outfit!
Re: Kirby Air Riders: Global Test Ride Demo Updated To Version 1.0.1, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I decided to wait for full release, as tempting as this is! Absolutely can't wait, looks like it'll be the best game this year!
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Is Now The "Best-Selling" Physical Game In The US This Year
Can't wait for the comments complaining that people are complaining about the quality of this title!

Re: Pokémon Pokopia Gets March 2026 Release Date, Brand New Trailer Coming This Week
Don’t by this game for the sake of physical games future, please. Even if you don’t get physical games, don’t ruin it for the rest of us.

It's created a brand new legacy the past several years, pretty impressive feat!
Re: Nintendo Music Update Adds Another Kirby Soundtrack
Interesting pick with Air Riders coming out next week. Dream Buffet was what made me think we wouldn't be getting a new Air Ride, but here we are.
Re: Poll: What Do You Make Of The Mario Galaxy Movie's Leaked Yoshi Design?
Mario and the others looked really weird in the 1st movie's artwork but ended up looking better in the movie itself, so hoping that's the case here.
Re: Images Of Yoshi From 'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie' Have Leaked Online
Yoshi's Cookie?
Re: Switch 2 Has The Largest Third-Party Software Lineup Ever For New Nintendo Hardware
Not in physical versions, probably a record low in that department.

Re: Nintendo Music Updated With Animal Crossing's 3DS Soundtrack
This is one of Nintendo's best soundtracks they've made. Really happy we finally got it! Please bring this game back Nintendo it's so much better than New Horizons.
Re: Sakurai Confirms Day One Update For Kirby Air Riders On Switch 2
Probably content that was planned for post launch but Sakurai wanted everything there right away!
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Sold 5.8 Million Copies Globally In Its First Week
Removed
Re: Sakurai Has No Plans For Kirby Air Riders DLC: "Everything Is Here"
Kirby Air Riders definitely doesn't need more content than there already is, but I certainly wouldn't oppose it if he changed his mind.
Re: Kirby Air Riders Direct #2: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate it?
This game looks so huge, how did they make all of this? So much customization, and the story looks epic! 02, Galactic Nova, Star Beam, and Nightmare all seem very promising.
Hoping to get more characters, seem like not all of them have been revealed. (PLEASE Adeleine!)
Re: Surprise! Pikmin 4 Is Getting A Free Content Update On Switch Next Month
I was hoping for a Switch 2 Edition, but this seems cool! Can’t wait to play a harder difficulty. Hopefully they continue to add more content!
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch 2's GameCube Library Next Week With A Spooky Classic
in 12 hours both a top 3 favorite game of all time got announced to be brought back and a Direct for Air Riders also got announced, I'd say these announcements alone were better than the September Direct!
Re: Nintendo Direct For Kirby Air Riders Announced For Thursday, 23rd October
Most hype I’ve been for a game in years, so looking forward to watching this!

Re: Nintendo Music Adds Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Switch & GameCube Albums
I was predicting Color Splash (which would've been good on it's own)...
...But BOTH Thousand-Year Doors?! These are genuinely some of the best soundtracks ever made, so excited to be listening to these!
Re: Opinion: Sonic Racing Crossworlds > Mario Kart World, And It's Not Even Close For Me
@awp69 There's no way that little content is a ($70) 'full game'. It's still a smaller game than base MKW with all of its DLC
Re: Opinion: Sonic Racing Crossworlds > Mario Kart World, And It's Not Even Close For Me
@Corvus96 Pretty sure you only get part of the game for $70, and you have to buy the full game for $90
Re: Opinion: Sonic Racing Crossworlds > Mario Kart World, And It's Not Even Close For Me
Mario Kart World is good but not worth $80, and Sonic Crossworlds is definitely not worth $90
These games are often compared, but Kirby Air Riders will by far be the best racer this year!
Re: Mario Kart World And Donkey Kong Bananza Shortlisted For 'Console Game Of The Year'
Can we get the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller to win because of how hilarious it'd be if it beat the console itself!
Re: Review: Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac (Switch 2) - Short, Sweet, Prettified, And Not For Everyone
@CrazyCaps No I totally agree this game is great (at least from what I've played of the original, and it's probably about the same gameplay wise), but I don't think any game is worth picking up at all if they choose game key card.

Re: Nintendo Of America President Doug Bowser Announces Retirement
Hopefully Pritchard will bring the company towards the right direction, not sure what she's done with Nintendo before but I guess we'll see soon!

Re: Do Bananza And Odyssey Share The Same Pauline? Donkey Kong Dev Won't Confirm Anything
I think the only way this makes sense in the timeline is is the Odyssey Pauline is Bananza Pauline’s grandma
Re: Nintendo Of America Reportedly Cuts Loose Customer Service Contractors As It Looks To Outsource
I've had an excellent experience with Nintendo's customer service, especially a week ago, so if it's different then I can't imagine it'd be better
Re: Nintendo Music "Special Release" Adds Tracks From Donkey Kong Bananza Today

Re: Nintendo Is "Acting To Protect The Industry" With Switch 2 Game Key Cards, Says Ex-Capcom Composer
Here’s how to actually release games: have physical with full game on card, and give it the option to also download it.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 For Switch?
Yeah I’m very hyped for this, glad it seemingly won’t just be taken off of stores like 3d all stars!
Re: New Kirby amiibo Will Apparently Be Nintendo's "Most Expensive amiibo Ever"

Re: Surprise! Kirby Air Riders Is Getting A Second Direct
As if the last Direct didn't show us how big this game was! Hopefully this comes sooner rather than later.
