    Tossup between Deltarune and Kirby Air Riders. Deltarune is obvious enough.

    It’s only day 2 for Air Riders, but after waiting 22 years for this sequel I’m really impressed by how they’ve taken everything I loved about the original and built on it in ways I never knew I wanted. City Trial was already so good in the original, but they’ve raised the bar so much higher. And of course, y’know, finally being able to play it online, a childhood dream fulfilled.

    Road Trip/City Trial spoilers

    The moment my jaw truly hit the floor was after I saw a message that an opponent assembled Gigantes, the giant tank final boss from Road Trip. Oh cool, so there’s a playable version of it as a new Legendary, wonder what this player-sized version looks like and what it does…

    I turn around. I see the actual fucking full size tank, a goddamn Kaiju right in the middle of the map towering over the buildings. This isn’t a player-sized version. This is the actual boss, plopped right into City Trial.

    And then questions start running through my mind, how the hell is stadium gonna work? How does this thing participate in any events? It’s too big to even fit on any racetrack or minigame map.

    We get to the end, the usual Stadium selection is gone and replaced with a splash screen that just say Vs. Gigantes.

    And we play out a 15v1 version of Road Trip’s final boss fight. Hoooooooly shit.
