Kirby Air Riders launch trailer – GameCube racer returns with a sequel on Nintendo Switch 2

Nintendo has uploaded a final launch trailer for Kirby Air Riders. More than twenty years after the GameCube original, the racing game has received a sequel from director Masahiro Sakurai.

Thanks to Nintendo, we have the following information about the title:

Charge, boost, and spin to attack your rivals in Kirby Air Riders, a fast-paced vehicle action featuring Kirby and crew.

Pick your rider, pick your machine, and mount up for competition! Take on your rivals in frantic arena battles or fast-paced races on the ground and in the air. Use the Boost Charge button to brake and control your turns as your machine automatically fights for top speed. Fill your Boost Charge gauge as you drift around the bend and release it to trigger an explosive dash!

Choose from a variety of riders like Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, and Magolor from Kirby’s Adventure Wii, and machines including the Warp Star, Wheelie Bike, Chariot and more. Each machine handles differently, and each rider has their own set of stats and Specials – they can also grab Copy Abilities off their foes to get an edge in the fray.
