I Fear It’s a Kirby Air Riders Review
I preordered Kirby Air Riders (not much of a surprise considering how much I've talked about the original, and the "Global Test Ride" demo.) Am I still enjoying it? YES! It's like a bigger version of the original. If you're tired of all these posts on this one game, it's likely to be my last on the

Seems that #KirbyAirRiders is going to be tought to sell.

Everyone says something like this: #SmashBros with #MarioKart with #MarioParty.

Hopefully this game finds its audience. Seems that Sakurai poured his heart and sould into this project.

Kirby Air Riders Global Test Ride Aftermath
So it's over, and all of those Switch 2 demo apps used to play it are now useless hunks of code. If you load it up now, it'll tell you the period is over and direct you to the eShop page for the full game.

Dissecting the Second Kirby Air Riders Direct
NOTE: In another world, Roguelike Celebration is going on today! A lot of people worked hard to organize it, and more worked hard to present at it, including some of the coolest people in indie gamedev, IMO, just to apply a little timely peer pressure. As I write this it hasn't happened yet,

Nintendo Direct on Kirby Air Riders
I've heard it said that there are several different varieties of Nintendo Directs. There the Major Announcement type (Switch 2!), the Bunch of Games type (Indie World!), the Franchise Update type (what's Pikachu up to next?) and then there's the type that introduces an individual game.

It has less extra stuff than #NSMBU & inventiveness than #SM3DW.
