We can hardly do more complete than this Nintendo Direct
In this new Direct, the director explained at length the new features to expect in this Kirby Air Riders. It was first discussed Top Ride mode, which offers races from a top viewand which is therefore making its comeback with several possible cameras and the possibility of playing online. All riders and cars can be used here, with different circuits, each with some unique course elements.
We also discover Road Trip modein which you select a Rider to complete a series of challenges taken from other modes, such as stadium clashes or courses on Top Ride circuits. There are a few rest areas between certain challenges, and if we don’t dare say that this leans towards the rogue-like side, you kind of understand the idea. The game will also have an online HUB where you can interact with your friends.
The Air Ride mode will offer the possibility of changing cars each lap, and this Nintendo Direct presented plenty of new powers which will change the balance of power in the races. And obviously, new character cars have been confirmed, like Desroche, Choiroc, or even the hamster Rick, with 5 new amiibos to discover.
