This is the best game for the Switch2! Incredible graphics and gameplay!

Great arcadey fun. Nostalgia from gaming back in the 00s.

It's great to see a game of this size in this landscape, especially a Nintendo one, spearheaded by an actual creative. We need more people like Sakurai in the gaming industry. Yes, it is a very enjoyable game to play, putting it simply. City Trial is as good as I've heard from the people who've sung its praises for 22 years. Sakurai will probably be forced to make yet another Smash game right after this, but I'm glad he got to take a break from that series and return to his roots in a sense.

While it seems complex, the tutorials make it easier to understand. And once everyone understand the controls, it becomes a lot of fun and very competitive. There is also a simple story mode that pushes you to try different modes you might not pick yourself.

Pure Sakurai! Chaotic, idiosyncratic game play that rewards learning the sometimes counter-intuitive streamlined controls.

A faithful remake/sequel of the original Kirby Air Ride. With better graphics, new machines, and plenty of QoL improvements, I've been able to play my favorite party game of all time all over again. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a good couch co-op battle/racing experience with a couple of friends!

City Trial is what the game is all about. If your playing alone and not online, your fun may be nerfed, but if your playing amoung friends or online this game is a absolute blast. Prob the most fun Ive had in a while. Lot of care was put into this, but admittedly, it is a smaller game.

Better than Mario Kart and all characters are included

Like any product from Masahiro Sakurai, this game is phenomenal. You can sense the passion and detail at every step, even in the menu screens. At a time when video game prices are growing rapidly, this one is worth every penny.

Its the best kind of pseudo-sequel. It takes everything great about the original. it makes it so much better, fixes what isn't fun or wasn't balanced, and gives the modes an online function so you can play with others. Its just more of what made the original great.

Lets get it out of the way. This game is not Mario Kart. Yes, it is (at its core) a racing game featuring Nintendo characters. But that's kind of where the similarities end. Kirby Air Riders is a very different feeling experience. I feel that Mario Kart is the more accessible of the two. Mario Kart is a very simple to understand "pick up and play" kart racer. Kirby, on the other hand, takes a little bit of time and practice to really get a feel for how its played. But that being said, if your willing to put in a little time to learn the game's nuances, it's a highly enjoyable game that is well worth adding to your Switch 2 library.

If you love Kirby this is a no brainer and a celebration of the series. Especially if you loved the original Air Ride game; this is that concept to its fullest potential. Created by the creator of Smash Bros, this game is more than a racing game, it’s a party game, it’s a battle game, has great online, and such a fun and addicting time that’s easy to pick up and put down.

Sakurai cannot be stopped. This is arcade fun at it's finest. Everything about it is tight and it's just a blast to play. 60fps makes it move so fluidly too. I'm so happy Sakurai got to realize finishing up the project at long last. 5/5 for sure.

Best game for switch 2. Full content no dlc. Alot to unlock and takes a while to rank up in online. Rewarding to complete tasks and unlock hats, stickers, etc instead of just buying them. Every switch 2 owner should give this game a chance.

This game has over-delivered. I never played the original Kirby air ride on GameCube, but being a major fan of Kirby I picked up this game. It has an amazing story mode, with two endings that incentives multiple playthroughs. The online game modes are well thought-out, and queing into games has been very fast. There was definitely a learning curve at the beginning, so I am not sure if I would recommend to a casual gamer. But there is still much to enjoy even if you are. Another thing I love is that you can unlock everything in game with challenges through the checklist. And nothing is locked behind DLC, or having to spend extra money on in game content. 10/10.

Along with Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bonanza, Kirby Air Riders is definitely a must-get for the Nintendo Switch 2! With tons of events to complete along with various different modes to play! Time just flies by!

Great game Deep gameplay. Ton of content. Smooth online play.

Growing up with the original game, it's definitely an improvement from it. It's fast paced and chaotic, and the there's more characters to play as. There are different modes for all kinds of Kirby Air Ride players.

So far the e game has been super fun. Very good game for the family.

Love racing games and love Kirby. Really fun game for kids and adults. Like it better than the new Mario kart personally though they are completely different styles of kart racing games.
