@OctolingKing13 Yeah we haven’t seen much of Kirby Air Riders, but with Sakurai, Bandai Namco, Nintendo, HAL, and Sora all seemingly being involved with this one, it’s gotta be good!

Uhh heard of Kirby Air Riders?

Maybe they don’t like money? That’s so annoying, I thought they said they wanted the visuals on as many consoles as possible. Just have a Switch 2 exclusive update

@N00BiSH It seems to be getting better, 3rd take when

Yeah, his “Mario Kart World” was unbelievable alright. Just took his first take and called it good.

He’s doing a pretty decent job with Wario and Luigi, but please get a new voice actor for Mario and Waluigi

Good, I don’t like the whole bricking thing but we can make an exception here

Idk if I’ll get it with how DK looks, but looking forward to this!

I hope we see:

• Good couch co-op/multiplayer
• King K Rool and more Kongs
• Mini games

I don’t care about this but I hope it means a Direct soon!

I love Totaka’s song, it’s too bad they intentionally left it out of the Luigi’s Mansion OST on Nintendo Music (it awkwardly fades out the song right before it happens). Good to see it still going on Switch 2 though!

These sales all must be because of Welcome Tour, we just couldn’t wait to get our hands on it!

I just had the chance to blue shell myself in first yesterday, on accident. It was 100% worth doing!

Rainbow Road is peak in this game, they went all out this time and it’s probably my favorite course from this game!

So Zelda notes was a negative thing for BOTW but positive for this one?

I think they were scared of Sonic 4 (for some reason)

Or maybe they’re recasting some characters after backlash?

I would rather NASB3, personally.

Switch 2 version better not be game key card, already not interested in this game though since Sega seems to be using game key cards for other games.

I use 8bitdo and was wondering why it wasn’t working, thanks for the heads up!

This game is even better than I was expecting! There is so much to do, and the races and knockout tour are a blast!

I absolutely love just continuing the race from one course to another, I didn’t realize how good this worked for Mario Kart until I played it!

It’s also cool how some courses are actually multiple courses in one, this game feels very ambitious.

The music stands out so much to me! I keep playing and hearing new remixes of Mario music from previous games, makes me so happy whenever a new song plays!

So far, 10/10!

This is one of the few pro-consumer things Nintendo has done since Switch 2 release, can’t wait to use this feature!

There seems to be so little amount of compatible games, how about ScareScraper for LM3 and/or LM2?

The game still looks awful, but it seems to run better (as it should).

I didn’t expect it to look better, but they could’ve made the resolution textures and lighting, at the least!

I hope this game is good, love the N64 game!

May be my first 3rd party game I get, unless it’s a game key card, then I will avoid even the digital version because that means they hate their consumers!

Kirby Star-crossed World DLC being 11 GB is quite huge, can’t wait to hear more about the game!

“Popular pick” well it’s seemingly not popular with NintendoLife, nevermind the majority of casual gamers/watchers.

I think Nintendo is a smart company who likes money, might as well do that Snow White actress at that point.

I don’t care what your opinion is, this hurts Nintendo’s core audience that would be the majority of people to potentially watch this movie

Can't wait, only 1 week left! Mario Kart's gonna be PEAK (at least, it better be for it's price)

They should've added a new board, so it'd be more worth it if you don't have a camera.

@MegaVel91 So I’m supposed to expect a finished game after all of these unfinished ones? That’s like expecting a 2 when given the number sequence 1, 1, 1, 1…

Also games often make decisions to take shortcuts or are done due to lack of time, like some of the things I suggested.

@Friendly That’s fair, the game could be better than initially perceived, but with Pokemon’s track record I have a hard time believing that.

@MegaVel91 Well the graphics themselves are sub-par, and rushing pokemon to little caged wild areas feels rushed to me, personally. Also going off of the fact that SwSh, Arceus, BDSP, S/V, and Detective Pikachu (not all same teams btw, but likely had TPC rushing games to release by certain time), were rushed, can’t help think, along with the other things I’ve pointed out, that this will be another rushed game.

Are you suggesting Gen 10 hasn’t started development yet? It’s most likely coming out Holiday 2026, I can’t confirm but I think it’s a given. Even looking at the timeline of Arceus and ScarVi, it implies Gen 10 is well in the works.

Legends Z-A probably hasn’t ‘gone gold’, although it likely will within the next few months as games typically do before they print copies of the game.

@MegaVel91 I don’t have secret knowledge, just public knowledge already released.

It looks like an unfinished game based on footage, and while that could very well change by release day, it seems like TPC are focusing on the new game now.

Also didn’t compare it to S/V, it looks like a dream compared to Scarlet and Violet and has a much better art style.

@Ulysses @BrazillianCara I don’t simply hate pokemon, I give them credit where credit is due as seen above, but there’s not that much positives to talk about at this point, sadly.
Honestly people are quite obsessive over people who dislike Pokemon, I got well over a dozen replies just because of my opinion.

Anyways, I’ve been looking for devs for Legends Arceus and ScarVi, and I’d say more than half of the developers I’ve seen so far worked on both games, often being the last 2 games they worked on, is that evidence enough?

@Friendly As I said before, there were core teams working on both games and other teams on each different game, the teams weren’t completely unique as far as I know.

I was hoping for Pokemon to wait an extra year for the next game, so it could be less unfinished, and thankfully that was true!

I’m not uninformed, I stay informed so I don’t give $70 for an unfinished experience. I’m not waiting to play the game to decide how finished it is, that’s exactly what TPC wants/has it’s fanbase doing.

My guess is Nintendo will do their own thing and this is just ads/3rd party Switch 2 games

@Late That’s fair, while being unfinished Arceus was the best move Pokemon made in years and by far the best Switch Pokemon game.

@Friendly Pokemon has revealed a dev timeline (at least I’ve seen it before), I think after S/V. Do you think SV/Gen 10 have a completely different team than the Legends games? Based on what they’ve done before, Primary development (with most of their teams) are likely on the mainline games most of the time, especially since S/V, while some development is being done with Z-A. You cannot tell me they finished Z-A and Gen 10 since near the beginning of 2023 until this summer when the game most likely will be finished.

I’m not going to reply to everyone because I just got 9 messages on this page alone already, but I will say that trailers reflect the game, and knowledge that the game had little time of full focus development (SV and Gen 10 take up majority of it’s dev cycle), and if the entirety of the Switch generation of pokemon games haven’t convinced you these are unfinished, I don’t know what will.

Would people make fun of me if a year ago I said we must defend game pricing so it doesn’t reach $80? Well it’s too late! Defending Pokemon will only make it worse.

@mariomaster96 If we don’t criticize games and keep buying them, then they’ll get even lower quality because they know they can get away with it. I’m fine if people get this game, just isn’t the best if you want to see the series improve quality.

@Haruki_NLI Are we pretending TPC isn’t primarily developing Gen 10 and this is a side project while they were working on SV/Gen 10? 2 mainline games in 2022, one in 2025, and another in 2026 isn’t healthy for a team and seems very EA-like

These presentations are always great, especially for half anniversaries of pay to win mobile games!

I just need King K. Rool, is that too much to ask?

I was guessing that was what the update was for, good way to avoid too many leaks! (at least, I hope)

Lol why even release it on Switch 2 when you can get the real game for Switch 1?

Isn't this $80-90? I'd rather get a higher quality case for half of the price

This looks amazing, great job on this!

Surprised Kirby isn’t in the title to get more clicks. Can’t wait to try this out!

I don’t trust powerA controllers, they always get rather quickly, this does not change that for me.

Cool! Hopefully I'll be able to block news for certain series!

Honestly I feel like graphics are barely looking better, and Switch 2 will probably be the last big notable jump.

Also not interested in Sega games anymore after they chose the route of no upgrades and game key cards

Doug Bowser will breathe there and that’s the only Nintendo involvement

I almost exclusively get 1st/2nd party games so this is a good for me!

This still looks awful! People were saying 'oh it's just the Switch being underpowered' but this still looks mighty embarrassing

These photos are so cursed
