We reap what we sow

Nice; looking forward to this one and wanna see more.

As a single player guy I'm hoping there's a good amount of content such as tracks.



In just about an hour Sakurai showed us that this game has more for it's price than Mario Kart World.

I believe (hope) there is a story mode of some kind. Like Diddy Kong racing turned up to 11.



This game do look pretty fun. Will try out the online trial to see if its something I will buy.



Man you gotta love Sakurai. No one would have complained if he just revived this game and got kirby air ride fans hyped for a sequel. The fact that he's gone all in and practically made scaled it up to a Smash Bros level title is insane. I wasn't remotely interested and now all of a sudden it feels like THE Nintendo holiday title.

I always skip these software directs Nintendo does just of avoid spoiling the game early. Always so cool when every one of these things is followed up with comments like this. Like what on earth did Sakurai reveal to turn this Kirby spin off game into a Smash Bros-teir experience??? Lol. I don’t even need to see trailers to be excited: this is a Sakurai game. It’s gonna get at least 70hr of playtime out of me by this fact alone.

There's a story mode.
