Sakurai Cut a Feature from Kirby Air Ride for One Important Reason 

It's called being Japanese. The fountain of youth is somewhere over there.

You idiots think he smoked as much, because it’s not true at all.

​@@JonnyDenny1815Well that's you. Me my brother my cousin his friend and even family members who don't play games loved this game. Same with other stuff like Mario sluggers and Mario karts

Im glad im not only one. I want a sequel, but I also wouldn't be mad if they remaster it

​@@GrimReaper86107They could do both. The old city trail map for shorter plays and then a remake with a bigger city and more rides to play with. I'd play that forever

Well, I think Mario kart would be much better.

Honestly, I just want a City Trial standalone game, that's pretty much all I touched in that game. I dug that game back up to play with friends during my college years, it held up pretty well.

Quite ironic for you to say that when Sakurai directed a game with one of the worst menus to date. He has some really weird takes, and this one with Dolby audio is one of the worst I've seen so far.

​@@ninstarswhich game? Not sure why people just say something without adding context. But I doubt it's as bad as hack

Which one would that happen to be?​@@ninstars

​@@tamalemuncher789 Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

@@ivanbluecool ​May not be as bad as Hack in the context of what you described, but overall it is really bad in terms of UX, I can only assume it is for a similar reason Dolby was removed from Air Rider, it feels like the designers only had "Smash" mode in their mind when designing the menus in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, which theorically faster to go straight to the main mode of the game as every submenus hovers that option it by default, but it falls apart when it comes to navigating anything else in the game, pretty much all buttons have arbritary sizes and are badly aligned, some options are duplicated and/or placed in unclear subcategories, lack of touch support, etc.

😮Nice.

I hope so too, I loved both games. I spent hours in Star Fox: Assault's multiplayer trying to unlock everything as a child. I'd gladly do that again if it comes to Switch or its successor down the line.

What about remaking it as Star Fox Zero Assault? I'd rather see them continuing the new continuity than trying to work out a continuation to the clusterduck that was Command's story.

Thankfully the Wii (and its mode on Wii U) has it only once so we don't have to pass for it aga- The Disc Channel intro and the Wiimote warning screen: *slam the door with All-Star playing in*

@@WooFooBattlefield WHY SO MANY SCREENS NINTENDO WHYYYY

YES!!

That's a huge reach.

​@@SaltyToad00 He's not suggesting that this is a hint, just a hope.

“57 seconds of logo.” *ding* “And yet not one second more to get surround sound for this? Thanks, Sakurai.” *ding*

It would be nice to have a surround sound system. I’d like to try a lot of old games and see how they utilized it. One day I wanna get one, but since I live with family, it’s not that practical because I wouldn’t be able to have it that loud. So I use headphones and I enjoy that. Getting the stereo audio directly into my ears sounds pretty good, and way better than just standard speakers that I have to keep the volume low on. With headphones, I can really hear a lot of details since the volume can be louder

Dolby Pro Logic 2 is an Outdated Format… it wasn’t even Surround, from what I remember it used Logic and some Matrix Sound thing for the Speaker’s amps to map the Sound as Surround… And the Switch now supports Uncompressed LPCM 6.1, which is way WAY better than Dolby Pro Logic 2 ever was. Also, Dolby Licensing Costs

@@LennyQUMFIF Yeah, true. Times have changed along with these other formats we keep getting...

​@@LennyQUMFIF It WAS surround sound. It was the original surround sound. A front and a rear signal got sent at the same time thru a single wire, and the Dolby decoder seperated them and sent them to the proper speakers.

If I had to guess, loading

I’d say brawl had a worst loading problem, then again I’m pretty sure it was the largest wii game in terms of file size

@@captainpep3iirc Brawl was one of the few Wii games to be printed on a “dual layer” disc. This apparently allowed for the disc to hold double the amount of data, but as a consequence it did mean it took the system longer to read data.

@@BloodRedFox2008 it did have quite a lot of stuff on it for a wii game. Pre rendered cutscenes took the most of it, but it also had plenty of music, stages, characters and character voice lines, game demos, trophies, lots of stuff

Kinda though a lot of devices didn't support it at the time the more advanced Dolby 5.1 was available for things like DVDs

⁠​⁠​⁠@@samuel-wankenobi Then again, Xbox was the only system at the time that’s natively capable to implement that. Even some PCs were able to pull it off with special components installed there too.

OR, they could’ve put the Logos together… Like idk, put both the Nintendo, HAL and Dolby Logos in the same Screen?

​@@LennyQUMFIF Or do like some companies did and put in support secretly. Lol

like 5 extra seconds wouldn't have hurt anything. Mario Kart Double Dash has some Doble thing in it and that game doesn't even have loading.

Kirby Air Ride wasn't even developed by Nintendo.

​@@SaltyToad00Well Sakurai either way they both make weird decisions at times

Dolby probably would've disallowed the skipping of their logo

Yes!

Well, now RTDL is on Switch. And yes, the music sounds better, especially Welcome Your New Overlord (good night, the original guitar sample was AWFUL).

@@user-zw3on4bx2t I genuinely prefer the screeching guitar of the original, but yeah the sound quality was improved significantly

Music was USUALLY still kept in stereo. Sound effects and voices were the main thing to make surround.

@@Schwarzorn ahh that's interesting. Thanks for telling me that

@@mighty_king92 You're welcome. Tho songs HAVE been modified for surround. Like, I recall Donkey Kong Country and Star Fox did, but Ocarina of Time seemed to use stereo music.

I will still hate that fact Subspace BS Sakurai made to this day

@@vortexluigirosalina5557 It was such a fun mode and we had tons of good times with it. Even Melee has a stronger amount of Single Player content than post-Brawl games. And Classic Mode in Smash 64 still holds up with its bonus minigames.

Because it didn’t sell well as it was stuck on a console that underperformed

Neither Forgotten Land nor Blowout Blast are open-world. They're linear 3D platformers.

@SaltyToad00 exactly. Open world hasn't been utilized since, despite it shown being possible
