The best characters in Kirby Air Riders’ City Trial
Posted on 4 days ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch 2 | 0 comments
For those playing Kirby Air Riders, we’re going over the best characters in the game’s City Trial.
In many ways, Kirby Air Riders is a racing game. But in just as many ways, it kind of isn’t – City Trial is arguably its premier game mode, and it’s more about combat and collecting than it is racing. If you’ve never played this mode before, you’re tasked with exploring Skyah, a City Trial-unique location, and gathering stat boosts to power up for the final battle. The final battle in question is different each game, and you can pick from a selection of four based on your currently equipped machine and its upgrades. As is the case with all competitive games, some characters are better than others. And as you might expect, the best rider for City Trial may just be a certain masked knight.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 5 days ago by Taioh in Reviews, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2 (reviewed) / Switch
Release date: January 15, 2026
Developer: Nihon Falcom
Publisher: NIS America
For more than two decades, The Legend of Heroes has been quietly building one of the most intricate and patient narratives in video game history. What began in 2004 with Trails in the Sky evolved into a sprawling, interconnected saga spanning multiple arcs, continents, and generations of characters, all unfolding within a single, meticulously constructed world. Unlike many long-running RPG franchises that reset with each entry, the Trails series treats its timeline as sacred: political shifts linger, personal choices echo forward, and side characters return years later shaped by events players once thought complete. By the time Trails Beyond the Horizon arrives, it does not stand alone so much as it stands atop the accumulated weight of twenty years of storytelling ambition. With that legacy in mind, Trails Beyond the Horizon arrives with immense expectations.

Thousands of games are currently available on Switch, and there are a ton of demos out there for many of them. Not just Nintendo, but also third-parties are offering demos. We’ve now put together a comprehensive list of what’s out there.
Since our reader base is English-speaking, that’s what we’re focusing on here. In other words, we’re highlighting Switch demos that you can find in North America and Europe. Japan has a few extra demos on its end, but a majority of them are for titles that are not currently being sold in the west and are only playable in Japanese.

Here’s what we can expect from Nintendo in 2026: video games. And also spending a ton of money on them. So far, Nintendo’s first and second-party output includes Mario Tennis Fever, Pokemon Pokopia, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, Rhythm Heaven Groove, Splatoon Raiders, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, and Switch 2 Editions of Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Animal Crossing: New Horizons. We’re already getting these games, so I won’t talk about any of these titles at length. Instead, we’re talking about all-new content we can potentially look forward to this year.
