Kirby Air Ride was one of the best and most unique Gamecube games. A sequel to do the original justice would be a big deal.
Sadly, Nintendo has made a reputation for itself as a copyright troll, most notoriously their legal takedowns of YouTube lets plays. As a result, I have boycotted Nintendo for over ten years now. While the new releases are tempting, Nintendo's recent legal actions against Palworld sour that proposition. Although I admittedly only can have so much respect for a Windows-only game with anti-cheat.
Back in the day, we'd play city trial in sandbox mode and drive all the vehicles we unlocked up on top of the floating platform. The achievement system was also great.
Which three major gaming companies are you referring to? The ones that make walled garden consoles?
At the end of the day, I boycott not just from an ethical standpoint, but from the perspective of a customer. Nintendo is a first-party game publisher. They are uniquely litigious toward their own customers and community, and they don't innovate. Money toward Nintendo directly encourages that.
Any sufficiently large company does lots of unethical things, so boycotting the entire company is harder and sends a less clear message economically. But YMMV.
