I feel like this game suffered from releasing in an unpolished state. Its competition is Smash bros, which is incredibly polished but has bad networking. Even with smash’s issues though, it felt way better to play than this did. They could have fixed all the issues, but the first taste I had of the game was negative, and I just don’t feel like it’s worth my time to go back.
With so many games coming out, I feel like the first impression is more important than ever, but more and more games are instead releasing in a poor state with the idea of fixing it later if it makes money.
Perhaps the reason is more simple. When did we have a non-indie platformer title well received by the mass? I don’t think people want a combo of “platformer” and “AAA” (hence the price).
You joke but I would kill for a new Kirby Air Ride game.
You wouldn’t believe my disappointment when they had a Nintendo Direct years ago and threw a “one more thing” at the end which opened with Kirby Air Ride music and Kirby riding in on the warp star, only for it to be a Smash Bros character reveal. The video they put on YouTube after the fact opened with the Smash logo, but it didn’t during the Nintendo Direct.
I would also love a Kirby air ride game… But seeing how they did multiplayer-focused gamrs like Mario tennis and golf, I don’t want today’s Nintendo to make it, if that makes sense.
