Was genuinely super funny to have Sakurai make multiple YouTube videos focusing on the importance of accessibility in games and then when starting Air Riders was like “well I can’t *not* put in every feature I just finished talking about now, right?”

they made it so players who gathered in a "Room" of "Online Play" can participate in "Race" and you have to ask??

It’s so solid for video games
8 Robot Masters
6 Evil Exes
Four Heavenly Kings
FOXHOUND
Hell even the fuckin Blacklist in Need For Speed Most Wamted is probably the reason why that game’s easily the most compelling out of those games lmao

Yeah Rybb’s charge shot is super good as a defensive tool, whereas Decker’s pierces through everything
I use Decker because getting enough hits with her drill makes it grow 5x bigger, so it’s crazy as both an attack and defense option, though I hear Rybb’s side shot has the highest dps in the game

The 1cc I really wanna do, but I don’t think I jive with the way high scores work in ZeroRanger so I’ll leave those A ranks lmao

What’s your go-to powerup set?

They made a game where Link isn’t the main character and he took that personally. I will not elaborate.

Thank god for this, it even fixes the abysmal general music quality: gamebanana.com/sounds/84193

I think there’s a distinction here: a game can be called parryslop if the parry exists as a bandaid solution that overshadows any other mechanical depth but otherwise isn’t about the parry

Sekiro is *about* the parry, like how Mario is *about* the jump and Sonic is *about* going fast

I genuinely think what makes me happiest about Air Riders is that the rest of the game outside of City Trial is in fact aces - the racing sicko within me means sometimes I actually prefer just running Air Ride and Top Ride online

On the complete opposite end, I exclusively played that game using the touch controls because I was 7 and my dad said “well that’s the whole point of it, you might as well use it” but that meant playing the entire game with the pen in my left hand and oh man that was rough

I so desperately need a Sonic boss to be a race that has the exact constant push and pull of the sequence that leads directly into that screenshot, holy shit
