The long‑awaited return of Kirby Air Riders just took a major step forward. A new rating for Switch 2 suggests Nintendo is preparing the game for launch sooner rather than later. Fans have been waiting years for this racer’s comeback, and the signal is finally clear.
Kirby Air Riders resurfaces after years in the vault
The original Kirby Air Ride on GameCube earned cult status with its oddball controls and bold design. Since then, fans have asked for a revival. The fresh rating confirms that Kirby Air Riders is not only real but officially on Nintendo’s roadmap.
Kirby Air Riders could showcase Switch 2 features
Early listings don’t detail much, but the expectation is that this version will tap into Switch 2’s horsepower. Faster load times, smoother performance, and online play are all likely. For many, the thought of updated city trial battles is enough to reignite excitement.
Nintendo builds momentum with more rated titles
Kirby isn’t the only one making noise. Several other games have recently been rated for Switch 2, signaling that the launch window is stacking up. From Pokémon Legends Z‑A to Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, the slate looks increasingly packed.
Recent ratings include:
- Pokémon Legends Z‑A
- Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
- Splatoon Raiders
- Kirby Air Riders
Fans brace for a long‑overdue return
For a series left dormant for two decades, this revival feels charged. The rating doesn’t confirm release timing, but it signals real movement. Players who grew up with the GameCube entry are about to see Kirby Air Riders return in a new light.
Anticipation builds for Switch 2’s racing revival
Nintendo hasn’t said a word publicly, yet the momentum is undeniable. A rating means development is far enough along to test content. That makes the promise of it on Switch 2 not just a rumor but a pending reality. The wait may finally end.
