When the Nintendo Switch 2 launched, I thought for sure that Mario Kart World would be console’s racing game of choice for the foreseeable future. However, one of God’s most perfect creatures might have something to say about that.
I’m talking about Kirby, of course. Perhaps the single most lovable little dude in video game history (he’s flawless and I won’t hear otherwise) is speeding onto Switch 2 in November with Kirby Air Riders, a surprising follow-up to a cult classic Nintendo GameCube game from 20 years ago. Yesterday, I had the chance to get some hands-on time with the wacky vehicular nonsense dispenser that is Air Riders. Nintendo also showed off the game during a 45-minute livestream, and after this brief preview, I came away impressed and very hungry for more.
To put it succinctly, this is a video game for people who like it when brightly colored BS is happening all over the screen at all times. I am one of those people.
