Here’s what we could see in Kirby Air Riders
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments
2025 is a great year for racing games! Everybody’s talking about Mario Kart World right now, but the new Kirby Air Riders is also coming out sometime in 2025. It’s directed by Masahiro Sakurai, and it’s actually the first Kirby game he’s directed since the original Kirby Air Ride on GameCube over 20 years ago. Though Kirby Air Ride was met with mixed reviews on launch, it’s since become something of a cult classic. It’s beloved for its addictive City Trial mode, and the crazy part is that the entire game was developed in three and a half months. According to Sakurai, Kirby Air Riders has been in active development since April 2022, which means it’s had over three years to cook. In other words, Kirby Air Riders might be a bigger game than we realize – which makes sense, given it’s had over ten times the development time of the original game!

Nintendo Switch getting cancelled GBA game Navinosuke: The Yo-Kai Buster from Metal Slug team
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Twenty years after it was cancelled, Navinosuke: The Yo-Kai Buster from the developer of Metal Slug is coming to Nintendo Switch.
Navinosuke: The Yo-Kai Buster was originally slated for the Game Boy Advance, but the plug was pulled prior to launch. The 2D pixel art RPG sounded pretty ambitious – initially, the game would have played with a GPS with players walking around to encounter yo-kai. That idea was eventually cut, but it sounds quite similar to Pokemon GO before that mobile game became a worldwide hit.
While Navinosuke: The Yo-Kai Buster missed out on its Game Boy Advance debut, it’s finally getting a proper release when it heads to Nintendo Switch in 2026 thanks to Kohachi Studio – and English will be supported. You’ll play as a young onmyoji-in-training as you meet and battle over 150 yo-kai in a strategy-driven Japanese fantasy world.
