I just gave it a try on dolphin and it's pretty damn meh

It doesn't seem like it's really comparable to Mario kart either, doesn't play at all the same way.

city trial mode is the GOAT, could be its entirely own game and it's absolutely fucking insane nobody has capitalized on this yet

yeah I played it the other day and got bored fast

You're supposed to play it with friends

i just played this party game by myself and it's not that fun

reminder that City Trial has an active netplay scene with its own netplay hackpack with extra colors and music and such

tasteless and retarded

city trial is to this day the best multiplayer roguelite by a country mile

This. I can’t count the amount of Friday nights my friends and I spent playing it.

Game will live or die on City Trial implementation.

Hope we get multiple, bigger maps

Would someone mind explaining what city trial mode actually is and why it's so revered? I've never played the game.

So this game isn't worth playing single player at all? I don't have friends

Do you not know what Youtube is?

casuals will love it
the whole point of the game was one button gameplay
no idea why sakurai was so obsessed with the idea where he wants a sequel or thinks it'll sell well

I'd rather he do one last kirby platformer, kid icarus 2 or something totally different

truth nuke. most overrated game on Anon Babble of all time. pretty much no one cares about anything in the game other than city trial and it's just one (1) map

multiple posts masturbating over it

"why do you guys like it?"

can't come up with a response

So it's just boomers nostalgiafagging over dogshit again huh?

I disagree. Everyone knows City Trial is one of the best multiplayer experiences of any game ever but I don’t think anyone expects this to sell well or that it was even necessary. Nostalgia makes me interested but it has to prove it’s fun before I drop almost $100 on it.

it's not fun even with people, you just hold A to win...

you don't deserve City Trial, go back

you just hold A to win

Why pretend you played it?

City Trial is forced soul

ive played it as a kid with friends and as an adult with different friends and it was kinda fun but to try and say "one of the best multiplayer experiences" is beyond delusional

to win

I played it, that's all you do in it

it 100% is. imagine if mario party games had 1 board and like 20 minigames and then a cult following try to say it's a hidden gem amazing experience

Why did that white kirby do that to the blue kirby?

holding down the charge boost that functions as an airbrake is an automatic win

they need to force you to verify you've played a game before you get to talk about it

You and your bros spawn into the city and have to scramble for good cars and upgrades then beat the shit out of each other to steal them
In the meantime there will be random events and people can pick up parts of super cars which they can then use if they get all 3 parts
Once time runs out it throws you into either a race or a minigame and you hope your car and build are right for it
I enjoy playing solo too, but of course multiplayer is optimal, which is why I've always wanted a sequel so I could just play online without dolphin shenanigans

Naked spite

Top Ride mode is massively overlooked and underrated btw.

It really is. Even worse, it's kirby fans. I played city trials and it was cool, but it wasn't the end all of multiplayer. None of my friends were huge internet nerds at the time (2010 so iphone terminally online degeneracy was not widespread). We played air ride every now and then but our mainstay game we kept going back to was melee. Of course we didn't know about autistic tech. We did play with none or limited items though. I played fucking zelda most of the time, not even shiek. Even with brawl sitting right there we still played melee like 80% of the time. We were shitty casuals and still felt like melee was better. Definitely played 4x as much double dash compared to air ride.

wow you are desperate for attention, huh?

i played smash by myself all the time, and it was quite fun though
I guess Sakurai's comes a long way in making party games fun to platy on your own
but n64 smash was fun by myself too so i guess it's just air ride that is the outlier

its like smash run but in 3D and no enemies and you drive around on a vehicle and collect powerups and try to beat up 3 other rivals and steal their powerups and then at the end you race the rivals or maybe you do something else with the vehicle you have and the powerups. Yeah, basically smashrun. And an event happens while you play, also like in smash run. Yep its pretty much smash run but you drive around and there's much much less going on. Or I guess Smash run is pretty much City Trial with a lot more going on in it rather.
I hope that explanation is good enough if you didn't play smash run.

I played a lot of Smash run by myself, and it was quite fun.

so it's just a shitty mario kart battle mode...

City trials would be great as like an 8-16 player "Battle Royale"/Fall Guys where you get eliminated each round and get buttfucked by a random minigame that wants you to glide but YOU STUPID FUCKING IDIOT YOU PICKED THE FUCKING MOTORCYCLE

I enjoy playing solo too, but of course multiplayer is optimal, which is why I've always wanted a sequel so I could just play online without dolphin shenanigans

This. I hope we get 8 players at bare minimum

Reminder to spam and release A while following someone to gain on them, and then spin slightly before the ram.

nah hes not an air ride fan trying to say it's one of the best games ever made lol

I picked up enough glide upgrades I can totally glide far enough

To be fair to shitty trials it is an improved mario kart battlemode

I genuinely appreciate you typing this out anon. Sounds fun.

its like smash run but in 3D

Sounds promising

I'll admit I didn't try that one.
Maybe it is secretly where the true fun is

that friend who capped out speed upgrades on that diamond cart just to get cucked by highjump

Emulatoids are a sad, pathetic, and soulless race.

I forgot about the fake item event where it spawns a bunch of bootlegs versions of items and punishes you for not noticing rather than just have random items be detrimental

ong this shit is not bussin fr fr

I swear to god, newfags just don't understand or know how to have fun. There always has to be a goal or deeper meaning or they don't have "fun" and if they don't like something out of preference they have to let you know, while being hyperbolic, and can't understand that everyone has different (better) tastes.

the game has 1 map in the 1 mode that people find fun lol

Holding A makes you stop

Kirby Air Ride is not fun without friends. Also City Trial is the only mode worth playing.

One bigger map will be enough to make me a happy camper
God the amount of times I used to roleplay with friends in City Trial brings a tear to my eye. Game I'm looking forward to most easily

The game is very fun for the first few hours but trying to grind out all the achievements is mind-numbing
Fucking Dedede took my friend and I literal months to beat when we were kids

It never was, but as a kid it was a fun game to play with friends for a couple od weeks

Air Ride is a make your own fun with friends game.

Jousting on the railway

trying to survive on the treetops of the golf course while one friend in a star tries to mow them all down

getting max jump stat on a motorcycle and trying to land in the volcano

racing on foot to the flower on top of town hall

figuring how to unlock meta knight

If you weren't a middle schooler in 2003 you probably won't like it lol

They're just in high strung debate mode 24/7

In the gamecube era that was more than enough

If you weren't a middle schooler in 2003 you probably won't like it lol

I played it as a youngun until like 2008.
One autistic friend willing to roleplay with you can make all the difference in the world

not at all. look how much content double dash, melee, mario party 4 - 7, f-zero gx, etc had.

Top Ride is surprisingly fun with the hazards and items set to max
The tiny little maps have a surprising amount of depth to them
But fuck Sand, the worm is a utter nigger when you have hazards turned up

More more more

And? It's a big map with a lot of variety.
Sure, I get it seems bad on paper, but it works just fine for a one-off gamemode to a Kirby Spin-off. I get it if your attention span is poor though.
Exactly, and it's obnoxious cancer.

i agree anon , no battle pass. Whats the point

it just gets old. there's not much depth or skill and there's just 1 map. ive played it as a kid and as an adult and im completely fine never playing it again

It's just coping nintendo kids accidentally getting this game for their birthday and actually trying to say this game wasn't fucking trash lmao.

Meanwhile the PS2 kids got burnout 3, get owned Nintendo boys.

There's a bit of depth. It's mostly just learning about blue boxes, map secrets like the volcano breakable with all the boosts in it, how certain events work, and how legendary vehicles spawns work

Both are good, you stupid prick

bro is still hanging on to console wars for platforms everyone can emulate since a decade ago. autism incarnate. you have issues.

any bros want to play the city trial mode on dolphin netplay? I never played it before.

KEEEEEEKKKKKK I WAS ABOUT TO SAY THIS

Air Ride is literally baby's first party game desu it's for infants who have other people to play with

City trial is all anyone cares about the races are just okay

It's like Mario kart battle mode but a battle Royale before that was a thing.
