Kirby Air Riders is coming exclusively to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2025!

Kirby Air Riders is a brand-new title directed by Masahiro Sakurai. The original Kirby Air Ride game was originally released on Nintendo GameCube over 20 years ago.

The mechanics on how Air Ride plays is pretty different than Mario Kart. Instead of just pressing A to go, your little star goes automatically but then when you hold A that starts to slow you down, and that's how you are able to make turns. And then when you release A you get a little boost of speed.

That sounds weird, and it is a little, but it's not just simply another kart racer. It feels much different to play.

Ah, a different kind of racer. That can work.
