Kirby Air Riders Gets Launch Trailer

Plus, Sakurai gave this to a friend of his!

Kirby Air Riders, Nintendo Direct

Just when you thought the whirlwind of games for the Nintendo Switch 2 would slow down, Kirby Air Riders is here! Yes, just two weeks after the last big release, another has come to take things to even greater speeds! This is the game that Masahiro Sakurai has been working on for the last few years, and he put his all into making this as fun a title as possible. If you want to see some of the fun you’ll have with this game, you need to look no further than the game’s launch trailer:

Yeah, there’s a lot of high-octane madness awaiting you in the title, so definitely check it out if you’re looking for some more fun with Kirby and his friends! But wait, there’s something else to discuss. Masahiro Sakurai thought it would be a good idea to show some kindness at the game’s launch, so he sent a copy of Kirby Air Riders to none other than his good pal, Hideki Kamiya:

桜井さんからこのようなものをいただきました…
発売おめでとうございます…!
俺も早く桜井さんにゲームを送れる男になりたい… pic.twitter.com/hNfTRbILEu

— 神谷英樹🍀 Hideki Kamiya🍀 (@HidekiKamiya_X) November 20, 2025

He noted in the tweet:

“Congratulations on the release…! I also want to become a man who can send games to Sakurai-san soon…

I’m sure a certain upcoming title that Kamiya is making would be more than enough to satisfy Sakurai…

Oh, and you have basically two weeks to enjoy this before the next big Switch 2 game arrives…
