Kirby Air Riders review

System: Switch 2
Release date: November 20, 2025
Developer: Bandai Namco / Sora
Publisher: Nintendo

Kirby is a versatile little fellow – outside of his core 2D (and as of late, 3D) platforming adventures, Nintendo’s most rotund character has starred in a battle royale, puzzle games, fighters, and more. His big 2003 debut into the racing genre, Kirby Air Ride, now receives a sequel over twenty years later that feels more like an expanded remake at times, revisiting the original concept but expanding and improving upon it at seemingly every turn. It’s also wholly unlike most other racing games, and its diversity of game modes, breakneck pace and Super Smash Bros-esque flair make it feel more like a party game at times. While not all the pieces of Kirby Air Riders are equally compelling, and I’m not sure the game will have the staying power for me personally that I had hoped, I was certainly never bored while playing—and often, the adrenaline from the game’s more intense moments had me on the edge of my seat.

Little Rocket Lab is heading to Switch in just a few days, but it’s now been confirmed that a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition will be released as well. Both versions are lined up for December 10, 2025.

There’ll be a few extras in the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Little Rocket Lab. 120 FPS at a higher resolution will be supported on that platform.

For those that missed our previous coverage, here’s some information about the game:

Metroid Prime 4 difficulty levels
