POYO! Kirby is back for another lap with a second Air Riders-centered Nintendo Direct presentation. The special Direct, which Nintendo says will run for about an hour on Thursday, October 23, will focus solely on the studio’s upcoming sequel to 200Kirby Air Ride, titled Kirby Air Riders. The brand revealed the planned Direct presentation via its Nintendo Today! smartphone application.
“Tune in on Thursday, October 23, for a second livestreamed Kirby Air Riders Direct featuring about 60 minutes of information about the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 game and a presentation from Mr. Sakurai. Tap Register in the calendar below to set up a notification for this Direct!” The blurb on Nintendo of America’s YouTube upload says the presentation, which will again feature game director Masahiro Sakurai, is scheduled for 6 a.m. PT/9 a.m. ET/2 p.m. BST.
The Nintendo Today! app has increasingly become the brand’s go-to medium for large-scale reveals and announcements. Earlier this year, Nintendo announced the live-action The Legend of Zelda release date via the app. Most recently, the brand shared a two-parter Nintendo Pictures project featuring Pikmin.
Kirby Air Riders Nintendo Direct Details
Thursday’s Nintendo Direct will be the brand’s sixth since launching its Nintendo Switch 2 console in early June, and its second Kirby Air Riders presentation altogether. The first Kirby Direct aired on August 19 and ran for about 45 minutes, giving a comprehensive look at the game’s multitudinous playable characters, all-new game modes, special vehicles, and more. In addition to Kirby’s Direct events, Nintendo has held two other title-focused presentations since launching its Switch 2: one for Mario Kart World in April, and another for Donkey Kong Bananza in June.
Thursday’s Kirby Air Riders Direct is also among the year’s longest. The 60-minute showcase is tied for the longest Direct presentations with the brand’s September 12 and June 2 livestreams.
Stay tuned to the official Nintendo of America YouTube account to catch the special Kirby Air Riders showcase when it airs on Thursday, October 23, at 6 a.m. PT/9 a.m. ET/2 p.m. BST.
