The most recent Kirby game was the best-selling in franchise history so I can see there being a bunch of brand new Kirby fans wanting to check this out.

Looks again like a Sakurai game: full with everything he can think of, adding all the fun stuff, full of options and it looks like a hell of fun. Nintendo knew why their initial announcement was barely showing anything but saying: director Masahiro Sakurai.

Looks better than I figured it would. It's not a must by for me, but I may pick it up at some point.

Some more footage of the game in action

Game looks amazing. Will pick it up for 50$.

Two things :

- Love the expanded character roster of this game and the way he actually went and presented them during the Direct. That was some good sprinkling there !
Everything a bit more hectic than the first game while expanding a lot on some ideas that weren't nearly cooked on last time.
Honestly, I'm game.

- Considering this is the Smash Bros team from Bandai Namco that has worked on the game, it stands to believe that at the very least a new Smash game isn't coming anytime soon.
Sooner would be just a Switch 2 Edition re-release I believe. Otherwise, the next game is being worked on by a different dev team altogether.

Still a better roster than Mario Kart World.

Seriously. I went back to MK8D and noticed there's 9 Shy Guy and 9 Yoshi colors. If MKW wasn't bundled with my NS2, I would never buy it.

@OP

I'm so pumped for this game dude. It's the whole reason I even bought NS2. Didn't want to wait to get the system and have them all be sold out in November, so I picked mine up last week. 

It's too expensive for what little content it has compared to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Donkey Kong Bananza, meanwhile is fairly priced for it's level of content, and Kirby Air Riders seems to be as well.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe benefitted from inheriting all the DLC the game already received on Wii U, plus a bunch of extra stuff added to the Switch port, plus a ton of DLC of its own, essentially nearly a decade of support in total.

If you compared base Mario Kart 8 to base Mario Kart World, they both have 32 tracks, with World also having an open world to explore. There's the distinct possibility that like MK8, World will be expanded upon over time via DLC.

With regards to Air Riders, we don't really know yet how much content it will have. Hopefully it's a lot.
