"I got to try Kirby Air Riders this morning at a Nintendo holiday showcase, and I wasn't prepared for how difficult it was - and how bad I am at it. The Switch 2-exclusive racer launches November 20th, and it's full of modes, collectibles, and new characters to play as. To be clear, there's absolutely nothing chill about Kirby Air Riders."
"The demo had us play through some tutorials, which were easy to grasp, yet it was eventually clear that this game has a lot more in common with F-Zero than Mario Kart. It's fast and chaotic, words I never expected to ascribe to a Kirby game. While most Kirby games are generally easy - too easy for some - Air Riders gives you very little time to react to incoming obstacles, and aggressive vehicular combat is all but necessary"
Kirby Air Riders is a Switch 2-exclusive racer launching November 20. The game is the sequel to the GameCube's Kirby Air Ride and a passion project directed by Masahiro Sakurai. Gameplay includes multiple modes, collectibles, and new playable characters. Tutorials are approachable but overall difficulty is high, offering little reaction time to incoming obstacles. The experience favors high-speed, chaotic track design and aggressive vehicular combat, aligning more with F-Zero-style intensity than Mario Kart's casual tone. The game presents a challenging, adrenaline-driven take on the Kirby franchise.
