With Gamescom about to kick off, and plenty of game announcements sure to follow, Nintendo held a 45-minute showcase of its own. And instead of focusing on one of the company’s biggest series, it was instead all about the sequel to a game that most people didn’t even like. Despite that, it was a surprisingly packed presentation for a unique racer coming to Switch 2.
Kirby Air Ride is a strange, simple racing game on GameCube. So simple in fact that racers accelerate automatically without any player input, and the game uses a single button for its controls. While the offbeat racing game has its fans, it reviewed poorly and was mostly seen as an overly simplistic, albeit original, riff on Mario Kart.
