Nintendo held a 45 minute Kirby Air Riders Nintendo Direct earlier tonight and revealed that the game will release on November 20th exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2.
It’s not really a surprise, but this game goes far beyond anything that the original did. There’s loads of new playable characters including Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, Chef Kawasaki and a lot more riders as well including the likes of Susise, Magalor, Gooey and Wadle Doo.
16 players will be able to play in the new City Trial mode which will take place on an open-world map called SKylayonline. This will allow you to race around an open-world map with the ability to collect abilities and power-up before taking on a larger challenge.
There’s also a more traditional racing mode with the ability to press B to allow you to boost in addition to the Y button to use special abilities, including changing into new machines, performing unique moves for each rider and more.
