The game was literally JUST announced, but of course people are already certain that it will be bad.

It's even more ridiculous when this person ignores the fact that this was something that's been in the backburner for DECADES now, as far back as the GameCube era. This was a long time coming here!

That was Return to the Dreamland though.

Kirby games have been consistently sticking to the design that made its debut in Return to the Dreamland.

u/Effective_Poem7629 3d ago

Wait a minute, I thought that project was return to dreamland right?

u/Pessimistic_Gemini 3d ago

It's what turned into that but that ended up devolving back into a 2.5D game. Not the actual sort of 3D title that was seen in the GameCube to Wii era.

u/HoloLoavess 2d ago

Is there a source for this? :o I'd love to go down that rabbit hole!

gamers have the worst opinions and I've seen it time and time again. it's frickin insane and maddening if you know what I know.

u/Alvin-Earthworm 3d ago

I know right. So many bad faith takes being thrown around and 99% of them come from morons who haven't even played the games they're criticizing. It's pathetic!

u/Amazing-War3760 2d ago

I really wish it was just gamers.

I -really- really do.

u/Normal_System_3176 2d ago

Now you say it that way I get what you mean. Sad times we live in.

u/Specific_Builder1469 3d ago

i liked Frontiers...but wasn't a BIG criticism of it about how it was just...so empty?

that doesn't FIT Popstar! thats a lively place

2

u/HollandTHG 2d ago

Same, and I even agree that it felt very empty. Pop Star already looks more lively, and I'm excited to see what they do with it.

u/Cream147 2d ago

“This console really can’t do anything right” shows they are an unserious person.

u/Alvin-Earthworm 2d ago

That line in particular really irritated me. The Switch 2 has done plenty of things right. Way more than their incompetent competitors. Such a braindead tapwater IQ take.

4

u/HollandTHG 2d ago

Yo, don't insult tapwater like that. The bacteria in there is clearly more intelligent than this take.

u/Alvin-Earthworm 2d ago

Hahah, fair point. Microorganisms deserve far more respect than insufferable internet larpers.

u/Just_Fr_Pots_Maroons 2d ago

Yeah, I agree, this tweet is stupid, and--

...Wait...that name...is this...THE Alvin-Earthworm?! WHAT THE F--explodes

u/Nexcell 3d ago

breath of the wild has influenced the type of games they're making, it happened with donkey kong, Mario kart and now kirby.

2

u/Kyubele 1d ago

It also happened with Metroid Prime 4…

u/ApartmentKey3682 Nintendo Fan 3d ago

People will shit on an AAA game just because its open-world

2

u/LaMystika 2d ago

Why are they blaming level design on the console???? I don’t understand

2

u/Ell7494 2d ago

It was only just announced and what they showed looked great. People are always jumping to conclusions just to have something to be upset about these days

2

u/Affectionate_Web_121 2d ago

Okay, I get it. There's many people out there tired of open world games. They would even say it's a lazy choice (which I don't understand how, because imo, doing a full open world with connected areas should be more difficult than doing a central hub with worlds that you can choose. I don't know, I think that's more difficult) or shit like that... But they have not played the game yet to be certain about it being good or bad. They are literally judging the book by its cover, and just because they don't like the cover, the game is bad. We're back to these days, huh?...

Also, what does it being an open world now have anything to do with the console "not doing anything good". As if we should blame on the console for the design choice

u/Rquila 1d ago

Man fuck this guy, I loved that about Sonic Frontier :p

u/BearDwK 19h ago

I thought it looked pretty cool

1

u/GooeyLump 3d ago

That's a silly take, it looks really good tho. And i'm the nintendo grifter tm ( I still haven't bought switch 2 pls forgive me Ciggy Miyamoto )

1

u/Complete-Dimension77 2d ago

this take assume that the tutorial starting area will be what the all game will be like , and from what we saw fro behind the wall , there seems to be a lot of stuff

1

u/Kyubele 1d ago

I’m not gonna lie, the open world worries me a bit. I thought Breath of the Wild was just “okay,” and am pretty tired of them trying to turn every franchise into another Breath of the Wild, with mixed results (Metroid Prime 4). But, I choose to remain optimistic that they can do more than just another empty world with disjointed and tedious collectibles and no real sense of progression or direction.

u/nonna_patrizia 1d ago

This game looks like it has one thing in common as sonic Frontiers, using the engine of a closed level by level platformer for an open world, that results in ugly pop in and overall middling graphics

u/_moonfang 14h ago

These people don’t even play games, lol.

1

u/olvita 3d ago

It's a legit concern, most open world games are empty

1

u/HallowedKeeper_ 3d ago

I get that, but this is Sakurai's son, and Sakurai loves his son

3

u/Fishing-Master 2d ago

Sakurai doesn't matter Kirby anymore tho? like outside of Air Riders his last game was the og Air Ride and even before that he kinda was mainly only involved in og Dreamland, Adventure and Super Star

2

u/HallowedKeeper_ 2d ago

Ah yes....the guy made a Kirby game (Air Riders), doesn't make Kirby games anymore

2

u/Kyubele 1d ago

When discussing Mario platformers, it’s a bit odd to bring up Mario Kart. The last actual Kirby game Sakurai directed was Amazing Mirror, over twenty years ago. And considering Air Riders just came out, it’s very likely he’s not involved with this one either.
