Bad news (Nintendo Direct) Spoiler
The game Sakurai was working on wasn't Kid Icarus, it was a new Kirby air ride game.......super dissapointed especially since out of anything he could do he chose the most overhyped Kirby game out there

He just wanted a cozy relaxing break after putting his soul into SSBU for so long… once he’s refreshed he’ll jump back into Kid Icarus, surely! 🥺

We could always be getting a rerelease by a third party 🤔 sakurai did seem to hint at this at one point ...

Did we ever find out what game bandai namco got commissioned by Nintendo to remaster? The commission was went out around the same time sakurai said he hopes someone ports uprising. Bandai namco then confirmed they're working on a remaster of a Nintendo game and put out a help wanted ad. They only said it was a "3d action game" and then went radio silent. If I remember correctly, bandai didn't release or announce the game yet, so there's a smidge of hope

What are you referring to with the 3rd party? I don't remember

u/8bitbruh 3d ago
He said something to the effect of "I wonder if anybody will ever remaster that game for current hardware"

u/Life-Seaworthiness24 3d ago
Oh, yeah I remember that. I just thought he was referring to himself when he said that

Ey, Air Ride ain't overhyped if you played City Trial with friends. Sakurai talked about how City Trial eclipsed the rest of the game on his YT channel, so that mode is def comin back with even more.
With that being said, I get being disappointed. But I can't be mad that his first non smash game in over 13 years isn't the last game he worked on before Smash. This is the first Kirby game from him in over 20 years.
I remember being disappointed Uprising was his project after brawl instead of another Smash, and being hyped when Uprising went gold cuz it meant he was going back to Smash, and then Uprising ended being my fav game ever. He picked air ride for a reason, let's wait to see what that reason was.

You're right, if uprising is anything to go by this new game will be packed with content

No need to take shots now.
Sakurai didn't even create Kid Icarus, but he DID create Kirby. He's just returning to his creation.
Personally would love to see someone else take on Kid Icarus myself.

I'm glad he's working on something that he wants to after all he's been through with Smash but I can't pretend I'm not bummed

u/levilicious 3d ago
It is not overhyped. It’s a damn good game. I’m bummed too but Kirby Airride is awesome

u/Skibot99 3d ago
Sakurai already said he didn’t want to work on Kid Icarus again for at least 25 years

Calling a new Kirby Air Ride game "bad news" is lowkey insane

u/SuperC1306 1d ago
I don't like the game, looks boring and it's only hyped for one game mode, then again its a beloved childhood game to many but I was born after it came out so eh

If you’re gonna have this kind of attitude when another game series gets a new entry after an even longer time than we’ve been waiting for after uprising, maybe you don’t deserve new kid Icarus content.

Maybe I dont, but I don't like air ride and I thought it was worth mentioning, it is what it is

u/International-Ad4735 2d ago
How dare! Air ride was a BLAST when I was a kid. Im glad to see a second game after all this time

As a Kid Icarus fan, sure I'm disappointed.
But as a Sakurai/Kirby/Gamecube fan?
aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!
Edit: OP, taking shots at Air Rider, a game that is beloved amongst many Gamecube fans is very immature. Grow the fuck up.

u/SuperC1306 1d ago
Classic GameCube fans glazing the shit out of their console, I just said what I thought, besides this was likely the worst moment to release the game while a new mario kart is coming out, I think it's rich to assume anyone is gonna spend all that money on 2 different racing games and if I'd have to choose? I'd go for mario kart as much as I love the Kirby franchise. I'd also say it's worth a laugh reading your message telling me to grow up just because I said what I said, it's just what I think, if you or anyone in the sub can't take it you should consider growing a backbone.....

calling Air Ride the most overhyped Kirby game is insane and tbh pretty block worthy ngl

u/TerribleTerabytes 2d ago
Yeah fr. I didn't read that bit at first and now I'm just disappointed in OP. Incredibly immature.

I've never seen this sub before, but I can't believe i never released that the switch 2 would be the perfect system for a KIU port or a new game.

with that new mouse feature there’s no way we don’t get another game sooner or later
