Kirby's Air Ride. N64

Is there any other info about this game other than it was reworked and released for the Gamecube

 

sure, google is your friend. IGN64 should have lots of info and screens.

 

I found out were all the images are actually coming from they are coming from videos that can be found here at this link.

Kirby Air Ride does not get the credit it deserves. That game is freaking awsome on the cube.



It would be cool if someday the n64 proto ever finds its way into someone's hands.

 

that would be cool if it did

 

yep

 

It's a cool game on GC but it just has so few tracks... Damn, 5 tracks in 3D, 5 tracks on top view, and one small city... in 8 years of dev ?!? Feels like an unfinished thing left on some desks that got released we don't know how/why...

 

I'd imagine they just took the 64 game ported to gc, put better graphics on it and added maybe like one or two things. I remember the creator of the game talking about how disgusted he was that nintendo canned the game so fast on 64.

 

So fast... I remember seing pictures of this in the same magazine with a test of Mario Kart 64

 

I remember reading in a magazine that the game was on hold since early stages, they wanted to make a traditional Kirby game, so Kirby 64 - The Crystal Shards was developed instead, after that game was released i don't know if they continued making the game. See you later.

 

Totally hoping for a proto release here. It really is unfortunate how locked-down most of the big companies are.

 

Now, one thing I always wondered about this game is if development on it began when Kirby Bowl (was that what it was called?) was announced early on, during the Ultra 64 days. That game appeared to dissapear after 1995, and very shortly after Kirby's Air Ride was announced and shown.

Kirby Bowl looked to be a much different game, and I'm guessing if both projects were related, that the game was to be a cartridge release, as I don't remember hearing about either title having been planned to be released on the 64DD.

 

Kirby Air Ride and Super Mario Kart R - N64 Footage

Hey guys,

I attended the Nintendo 1996 press conference unveiling Nintendo 64 at
the Biltmore Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles. The press was given a B-Roll
for television news stations. At my Youtube channel - I recently uploaded
the whole B-Roll tape in two parts. It covers the cancelled N64 version of
Kirby's Air Ride and a work-in progress Super Mario Kart R. Be sure
and read the "More Info" description during the clip:

Enjoy!

 

I hadn't seen that video, thanks.

 

Anybody got anymore pics or videos of this

 

Hmm maybe I should pick up the GC version then, tho I would much rather see/play the N64 version
