At the end of the Nintendo Direct, we got our answer for that first question: Kirby Air Riders is coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 on November 20th. For those in America, that's the week before Thanksgiving; it appears that the sequel to Kirby Air Ride is, inexplicably, Nintendo's big holiday release this year.

Masahiro Sakurai's detailed rundown of Kirby Air Riders finally brought us the news that we wanted with a deep dive into the game's City Trial mode. Yes, the best mode from the GameCube original is returning for the Switch 2 sequel, and it looks just as high-octane and bonkers as we would have hoped.
