Kirby's Air Ride.

If you take a look at that screenshot on the page I just meantioned you'l notice that this game is most definetly a racing game. But the thing that makes me want to know more about this game is two things:

1. Just look at the track, it looks very thin and looks as though Kirby could ride on the underside of it. Reminds me of F-Zero X on first glances. Also if you look at the tracks map you'll see that most of the track is like this.

2. Look here (http://www.cube-europe.com/screenshot.php?gid=kirby&nr=1) or just press 'Previous' if you have already loaded up the other URL. This is the screenshot that is making me wonder what is going to be so special about this game. As you can see Kirby is looking like Link and has a Sword and all that. Maybe this will be used to hit off other enemys Kirby is racing against? What other weapons will there be?

If you ask me it looks as though this game has 'fun' written all over it. Not sure if it will be a high speed thing or a more whacky thing like Mario Kart but still I think it's gonna turn out great.

Oh and why did I say 'This should be funny'? That was what I said to myself as I looked at the first screenshot. Strange.

Look at the background - you can tell detail from that. The riding around on a star, and on screen layout proves an intuitive concept and Kirby games are always fun and fast paced. Really, it's not that hard to see...

Looks intriguing. I'll be on the lookout for information, then.

It's a Nintendo game, Mav can already class it as innovate, original, brilliant, inspired, genius, fun and alround Godliness. :)



Though to be fair, it probably will be most of those things.

Yeah, I was thinking that and then thought he had saw a video or something so went to go find it without much luck.

You worked all that out from a couple of screenshots?

This game looks excellent - detailed, fast paced, imaginative and fun. The concept appears original too - and I hope the gameplay will be varied throughout, not unlike Super Smash Bros. Melee.

This is the first I've seen of this game, and it may well be one to watch out for.

Call me stupid, but look at the screen where Kirby looks like Link. Doesn't the area around him look vaguely like Hyrule Field from Zelda:OOT...?

Mayhaps Kirby can change himself into a variety of Nintendo characters (a la Smash Bros) and race around their environments... You mentioned the second screen had a resemblance to F-Zero X... what if that's the Captain Falcon level...?

Hmm... If I am right about this I demand a free copy of the game when it comes out.

It doesn't look too bad from those two screenshots, although you can't really tell what it will be like.
