For Nintendo Switch 2 gamers, the next six weeks or so will be filled with one incredible title after another. The Pokémon Company just released a game for the Switch and Switch 2, and Koei Tecmo will follow that up soon with a return to Hyrule. Then, on November 20th, Kirby Air Riders will arrive, which is the next big game from Masahiro Sakurai. He’s clearly very passionate about this game, as not too long ago, he did a 40+ minute Nintendo Direct about the game, its characters, modes, etc. Then, at a later Direct, it was confirmed that another presentation about the game was coming.
Sure enough, Nintendo of America revealed today that it is happening on Thursday, and that the Nintendo Direct will be an hour long! Wow, you have a lot to say, huh, Sakurai?
Join us on Oct. 23 at 6 a.m. PT for a second #KirbyAirRiders Direct with director Mr. Sakurai. The livestreamed presentation will last roughly 60 minutes and feature more info on the upcoming #NintendoSwitch2 game.

So, what is there left to say about Kirby Air Riders? Well, there was a tease of a new character at the end of the last Direct, and undoubtedly, there will be even more characters in the full roster. Plus, he might want to show off some of the other stages, tease other modes that might be in the title, and more.
We’ll be here to break down everything he says after the Direct airs. Stay tuned! If you want to save the presentation link, go here!
