Kirby fans have noticed that Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai was hiding the fact he was working on Kirby Air Riders in plain sight in his old tweets.
I think it's safe to say that there probably wasn't one person on the planet who expected that one of the first games Nintendo announced for the Switch 2 way back in April would be a sequel to the GameCube title Kirby Air Ride. While Air Ride still has a cult following all these years later, the game itself had extremely mixed reviews (with Edge giving it a 3/10), and – being a GameCube game – probably didn't light the world on fire with its sales either.
