Looks like Nintendo really messed up by deciding to use only 1 button. :rolleyes:

funny thing is the reader review is like 8.2 or something :unsure:

I thought Nintendo said all games they make will support Dolby Pro Logic II (and progessive scan)? IGN says in there review that it seems to not support DPLII, which is interesting.

But I wasn't expecting to get this anyways. Double Dash is only a month or so away. Also to note, this is Nintendo's first game to support LAN. Hopefully future games do better with LAN, mainly Double Dash:D (then PSOIII:D)

*goes back to playing F-Zero GX*

Oh dag, really? Oh well! Go Nintendo, you rock and I will continue to shower you with blind love regardless!

Hahaha.....sarcastic b****. :rolleyes:

But yea, thats a very bad score for a game by Nintendo. You think they could have put a little more work into it so it is not so simple that it's dumb. I mean, who wants to play something that you have no control over (really).

Sorry I just couldn't resist (^_____^

I wonder if that was directed towards one person or a general public?:hmm:

Re: Re: Kirby Air Ride gets a 5.2 from IGN!
 

Well who was really expecting more than a 6.0 score? This just adds to the pile of crappy games Nintendo has been developing for the GameCube.

Re: Re: Kirby Air Ride gets a 5.2 from IGN!
 

Oh my god, I'm so disappointed, what shall I spend my money on now.

Hopefully they'll do better with the sequel, which they better make!

Re: Re: Kirby Air Ride gets a 5.2 from IGN!
 

Multiple times in my many years here I have run into people who seem to believe Nintendo can do no wrong... A new game being made by Nintendo? Well it's obviously gonna be good! Horay!

And they dismiss good games on other systems as "Not as good" as Nintendo games without even playing them (sometimes without even playing the Nintendo game)...

THOSE SARCASTIC REMARKS, MY FRIENDS... Are aimed at those kinds of people...

... o.O

Wow, what a disappointment. Kirby's Air Ride was what sold me on the cube in the first place.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Kirby Air Ride gets a 5.2 from IGN!
 

Just for the record, I'm not trying to say that I believe all Nintendo games are good. There are crap ones out there.

And nice sarcastic comments people, keep them coming:p:D

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Kirby Air Ride gets a 5.2 from IGN!
 

I'll buy this game the second it comes out. I did the same with Doshin The Giant and I haven't regretted it!! :D:D

I think it's that damn cartoon. It would have been better if they didn't have to incorporate that show into the titles. I mean, jeez.. even the GBA Kirby wasn't as great as it could be.

Its a kirby racing game........nobody would've bought it even if it got good ratings....with that noted....

I thought all of Nintendo's games were mediocre.

Re: Kirby Air Ride gets a 5.2 from IGN!
 

Considering no games got below a 60%, thats still pretty good for any company. That means most of Nintendo's games got good scores while other games got average scores.
