Kirby Air Riders first impressions

Bib Fortuna takes the stage — calm, composed, he's been practicing for this moment — and takes a deep breath before revealing the next era of video game conferences. "We all know E3 has come and gone, but it's time for something truly new. I present: Steve-B."

Check out Skull and Scones at https://skullandscones.com!

Discussed: Steve B, Bib Fortuna and Ben Quadinaros, Kirby Air Riders, the genius of Sakurai’s design, Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, the emotions evoked by older RPGs, the increasing popularity of Pokémon ROM hacks, Dispatch, a brief history of choice-driven games, Brendon and Stephen’s Siskel and Ebert moment
