The Switch 2’s best fandom is all about the Kirby hamster

The first Kirby Air Riders playtest just wrapped up, but clips coming out of the session are still tearing up the internet. Much of it has to do with the frantic speed at which the racing video game moves, and how it makes watching footage feel like an IV drip of pure adrenaline. But most of the Kirby Air Riders excitement is centered around one of the racers: Rick the Hamster, who at this point might be overshadowing the game’s namesake.
