I recently got the chance to try the demo out at a local retailer. And I was impressed by its performance and visuals. I think if Age of Calamity was something to go by, this is going to be amazing another 100% completion for me.
While I am waiting for Sonic Crossworlds on the Switch 2. Ive had the game since release and recently passed 24 hours on switch. Been great for me and plenty to do. But yes the mood does get damped in handheld mode. soon S2 soon
Excited for this game, the free Sega characters DLC is much appreciated. Would have preferred them wait for the DLC announcements from outside of SEGA but doesnt change the fact that I want to play as Pacman and Mega man in Sonic. And drive through the Krusty Krab
@Zeebor15 Money. Bet people to buy before then they can buy again when the game drops. Cause Id imagine dropping all on release date, would leave sales expectedly lower than time apart.
Hmm gamekey card is unfortunate but expected with its file size. (if 64 is the max as sources suggested) I never played before and didnt get the option before. But Ill be picking up. Not sure which way though. FFVII- over 20 years later, still not all on card cause of card size.
Strange to add open environments to the Metroid prime series. I feel that it could be worrying and mess with some of the metroidvania style it has. But then again them restarting development when they did has me thinking that maybe its better than expected.
I'm DYING for a new Kid Icarus game. Just TEASEEE ME PLEASEEE.
Realistically MP4 release date+ Direct Hyrule Warriors release date+ Direct Splatoon Raiders Hi Fi Rush Elden Ring Date Final Fantasy 7 Disgaea 7 Sonic Crossworlds Mario Anniversary Title
@DavidH based on the Open Network Test, it seems this is the case. There will be ONLINE time trials. As they were in the game already for players to upload.
It feels like its getting pushed to 2026, but Nintendo continuously reiterates its coming 2025 and was recently rated by ESRB so gotta be soon. Right? Right?
The boxart looks good to me. In comparison to the original, being muted colors focusing on Kirby flying. This one shows a lot more, shows multiple characters and riders, and in a way, the city trials.
This is going to be another very indepth game just like his past works. Kirby Air Ride, Kid Icarus Uprising, and Smash Bros. Loads to learn and work with. Granted sure this could be shortened some.
Yeah so those were a choice... The first half are pretty far from their original compositions making the "remixes" feel like different songs. The second half of songs were better for sure. Still excited just felt weird.
Was thinking about it and maybe we could get a nice little look at some Level 5 games.. Professor Laten, Inazuma Eleven, DECAPOLICE. would be lovely to see decapolice.... please
After this partner Showcase, people gonna need that 1TB express SD. Surely most will be key cards.
Metaphor- Full on card? More looks at Elden Ring- Key Card Doom Dark Ages Maybe? -Key Card Some Xbox games coming to the console- Key Card Maybe Final Fantasy 7 Remake -Key Card Would love to see Monster Hunter Wilds but highly doubt that. Ninja Gaiden 4-Key Card
Surprised to see Mario Kart so low on a Nintendo news site. Granted I share similar sentiments. Fun game, barren open world, higher than it appears skill ceiling, but straight tracks that make the game feel less mario kart and more arcade ninstop driver. Its probably the most mixed back Mario Kart game I can remember
Im excited for the game. I need something to get me over the edge to make the purchase. It looks impressive but I feel there needs some DIRECTion as to the story of the game.
Skipping over most the comments...
Personally 7/10 for me. More of the same mario kart, with new ways to drive which is nice, looks better and runs great. My biggest issue come from a kinda baren open world. Fun to drive through but aimless drives in solo are kinda lame, after some time. and Missing 200cc kinda stinks. Some of knockout mode you realize how many stages are nearly straight drives.
Ill be more than happy to play through this game with my kid. Completing co-op games has somewhat become our thing, but definitely will wait for a sale, solely for code in the box. Id have considered picking it up launch day otherwise.
Wake-Up is such a slept on feature (pun intended). I personally have my Switch 2 dock mounted on the wall awaiting the time to play. And having the wake-up feature in more controllers just makes a long day a little easier. And that feature over time will become more and more appreciated.

Re: Official Box Art For Kirby Air Riders Revealed, Price And File Size Confirmed
The boxart looks good to me. In comparison to the original, being muted colors focusing on Kirby flying. This one shows a lot more, shows multiple characters and riders, and in a way, the city trials.
Granted the OG did have the better logo

Re: The DK Rap Is Back In Donkey Kong Bananza, But Nobody Told Its Composer
