Hi, we're here today with a what will probably be a controversial opinion about Kirby Air Riders. Nintendo is definitely dealing with some challenges around getting launch dates settled for the rest of the announced 2025 Switch 2 games but where does that leave Kirby Air Riders? Is this game really coming out in 2025 and more importantly, does Nintendo feel like HAS to come out in 2025? We talk about how it works inside Nintendo when they make these kinds of decisions. What do you think? If this game is delayed, will you be devastated?

0:40.4

It can be a stressful thing to try to say, gosh, we have all these games.

0:45.9

Some of them are maybe ready.

Some of them are kind of trying to make their way to the finish line.

0:51.7

What do we do?

0:53.0
