When Nintendo brings out a big new exclusive for the Switch 2, you'd normally be able to fairly safely assume it'll sell at least a few million copies. While its lineup of franchises does offer stronger or weaker entries occasionally, there's generally a reliable mass-appeal angle to many of its releases.
At least, that's what I would have said before getting my hands on Kirby Air Riders, which is probably the most confusing Nintendo exclusive I've played in years. This frenetic racing game is almost overwhelmingly high-octane, and relaunches a Kirby sub-genre that only ever got a single entry back in the GameCube days.
