The next Nintendo Direct is coming up very soon. Nintendo has announced that a second Nintendo Direct dedicated to Kirby Air Riders is taking place on Thursday, October 23 at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET.
Masahiro Sakurai, the game’s director, will appear in the Direct to share more information about Kirby Air Riders. This is a beefy broadcast, clocking in at about 60 minutes, Nintendo said. The event will stream on YouTube and Twitch, along with the Nintendo Today app.
As mentioned, this is the second Direct dedicated to Kirby Air Riders, following one in August where we learned a lot more about the game in the span of 45 minutes. During the event, Sakurai said Kirby Air Riders is “basically Mario Kart.”
