Soon, the great pink hero Kirby will be making his debut on the Nintendo Switch 2 in Kirby Air Riders. The long-awaited sequel to Kirby Air Ride on the GameCube, the racing game pits the lovable blob against many of his friends and enemies in what'll be 18 tracks to start, half fresh and half from the original.
That'll be nine from each, in numbers. Game director Masahiro Sakurai revealed the information during the latest Nintendo Direct dedicated to his reunion with Kirby, a character he created and with whom he hasn't worked directly since Air Ride, back in the early 2000s, right before he left HAL Laboratory.
