Why am I seeing this Ranked on source trust — Nintendo Life

It ranks mainly on source trust: Nintendo Life is the most reliable outlet we track on this subject, and is the only one on the story so far.

Single-sourced. No second organisation has confirmed it yet.

Link-outLink-out, because only one organisation carries it and no first-party source is on it. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.

Blended score 0.418 — every figure below is computed, none of it is editorial.
FactorWeightScore ContributionWhere it came from
Corroboration 0.35 0.39 +0.135 32% 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true.
Source trustleads 0.25 0.70 +0.175 42% Nintendo Life is the highest-trust source on this story. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged.
Pickup rate 0.20 0.00 +0.000 0% One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate.
Freshness 0.20 0.54 +0.108 26% Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent.

Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.

What happened

If you have been keeping up with Kirby Air Riders of late, you might have been excited to dive into the game's new Halloween event this weekend and pick up some spooky Ghost headwear while you're at it. Well, we're sorry, but that's not going to happen, as Nintendo has cancelled the event. The event was originally scheduled to run from 28th October through until 4th November, but many players reported nasty technical difficulties when taking part in early matches, where the screen would regularly freeze — which, in a game as frantic as Air Riders, isn't going to cut it. com
