Kirby Air Riders feels like the epitome of a 22-year-old game, but it may even play better with a GameCube controller.

Masahiro Sakurai will be on hand to share 45 minutes of new information about Kirby Air Riders.

Last week, Super Smash Bros. creator and father of Kirby, Masahiro Sakurai, said that we should be finally seeing some gameplay from his upcoming Switch 2 racing game, Kirby Air Riders, "soon." By soon I assumed that meant in an upcoming Nintendo Direct in September when Nintendo typically holds one, but turns out it's even sooner than that.
