Announced last April, the sequel to 2003’s GameCube classic Kirby Air Ride will be available exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2. The racing title focuses on competing on various courses with a Warpstar as their vehicle. What differentiates it from the Mario Kart series is the lack of player-controlled acceleration. Instead, you’ll need to adjust the altitude and absorb different power-ups from enemies to use against the other racers.

How Kirby Air Riders will innovate on this formula, especially with all the changes and improvements introduced in Mario Kart World, remains to be seen, so stay tuned. Nintendo is also present at Gamescom this week, offering playable demos of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Pokémon Legends: Z-A and more at its booth.
