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

Masahiro Sakurai möchte trotz seines Erfolgs ein „unscheinbares Leben“ führen
Der bekannte Entwickler Masahiro Sakurai spricht zwar häufig vor der Kamera, doch wenn es um Ruhm und Prestige geht, würde er selbst lieber im Hintergrund bleiben. Fokus auf die Spiele, nicht die Person Im Gespräch mit Game*Spark über die Veröffentlichung eines Mangas über sein Leben erklärte Sakurai, dass er möchte, dass Menschen sich stärker auf seine Spiele konzentrieren – und weniger auf ihn als Person. Zwar gebe er alles dafür, seine Arbeit klar zu kommunizieren – etwa […]
To paraphrase #SkillUp:
#MarioKart is to Gran Turismo what #KirbyAirRiders is to Burnout.

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

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.

Masahiro Sakurai, der kreative Kopf hinter Super Smash Bros. und Kirby, wurde mit dem Art Encouragement Prize for New Artists ausgezeichnet – eine Ehre, die von der japanischen Agency for Cultural Affairs vergeben wird.

#SuperMarioBrosWonder in #TheGameAwards may be a good game but I honestly expected more; it surely dares and graphically it's a joy for eyes but not enough to emerge from #NewSuperMarioBros stagnation after 10 yrs of waiting, where it was sold well for Wonder Flower, Elephant Fruit and 12 characters, but no more; it doesn't deserve #GOTY and #MasahiroSakurai who spoke highly of it in plus to #MarvelsSpiderMan2 doesn't convince me. It has less extra stuff than #NSMBU & inventiveness than #SM3DW.
