This is Switch 2. Gotta stay consistent with the theme! They also got two chapters of Deltarune right out the gate, alongside two FromSoft titles releasing.
Gives them 6 more years to make F-Zero
I only played the gamecube game for the first time recently and it's very fun. I worry that this is launching so close to Mario Kart.
I'm sooooo happy they are making a sequel to one of my fav games of all time. Kirby Air Ride must be my most played game on GameCube. 21 years later, this trailer was a shock. I've never been so hyped for a loooong time.
I hope they have a mode like the City Trail. Imagine there's multiple open environments to choose from instead of just one, and different events happen in each. Online too XD. Bring back the meteors and Shadow Star :D
Looks like Wagon Star, Warp Star, Winged Star and Wheelie Bike are back at least :)
I can't wait :D
