Another double today! Today we see the return of the Dragoon item from Kirby’s Air Ride. Sakurai explains:
Uniting three parts will complete the legendary Air Ride machine…the Dragoon! It’s back! But we didn’t just leave it the way it was, and added some nice touches to the design of the targeting screen. It is, of course, in stereoscopic 3D on the 3DS.
There was also a picture of the Dragoon itself:
Just the target screen felt lacking so here’s a pic of the Dragoon itself. I wanna get on it. I wanna get on and ride it.

A few quotes from EDGE’s Mario Kart 8 review
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
