Nintendo Announces Second Kirby Air Riders Direct for October 23 Nintendo has scheduled a new livestream event for the upcoming Switch 2 exclusive game, Kirby Air Riders. This presentation is set to take place on October 23 at 9AM Eastern Time. The game itself is scheduled to launch on November 20, making this event less than a month before players can buy it. The company has also revealed that this stream will be a full hour long. This is a significant amount of time to dedicate to a single game so close to its release. The reason for the lengthy presentation becomes clearer when considering the director behind the game, Masahiro Sakurai. Sakurai is the creator of the Super Smash Bros. series and is well-known for his detailed, in-depth videos that explore the finer points of his games. For Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, he created substantial reveal videos for nearly every character and numerous videos explaining various game mechanics. This will be the second dedicated livestream for Kirby Air Riders. The previous Direct, which aired in August, was 45 minutes long and offered a deep dive into the games core mechanics. While the specific focus of the October 23 stream is not yet known, it is expected to deliver another comprehensive look at the title. For those unfamiliar, Kirby Air Riders is a racing game featuring the iconic pink puffball, Kirby. It is a follow-up to the classic GameCube title, Kirby Air Ride, and will be available exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2. Fans can watch the livestream on Nintendos official channels.
