In about a month, the Nintendo Switch 2 will be getting one of its big holiday games: **Kirby Air Riders**. This week, director Masahiro Sakurai returned for a second Direct presentation, treating fans to an hour-long deep dive into the game.
Even though this wasn’t the first Direct for Kirby Air Riders, a massive amount of new information was shared. Sakurai explored various modes, features, options, and more, giving players a comprehensive look at what to expect. We also learned about additional amiibo support and an upcoming online demo event.
For those who missed it or want a detailed recap, you can find a helpful summary covering everything that was shown [here].

### Highlights from last week’s discussion:
**Shrub64:**
Eh. I check it maybe twice a week. I was surprised to be notified by it for that ‘Close to You’ animation though.
**jLn:**
Everyone online says Nintendo Today sucks, but I find it quite fun.
**Phin68:**
No, it’s pretty pointless to me. Whatever news the app reports is going to be reported elsewhere.
**Justin:**
Yep, easy way to catch Directs later without spoilers, because even going to YouTube already gives you spoiler thumbnails on the way. It also helps me be aware of villager birthdays in Animal Crossing. It’s not so much news as it is just a Nintendo feed.
