Masahiro Sakurai is returning to the Kirby franchise on Switch 2 after more than 20 years away, and we’re so excited about it! This week, join Logan Plant, Jada Griffin, Tom Marks, and Brian Altano as they talk about why they love the original Kirby Air Ride, and how Kirby Air Riders could build upon the GameCube cult classic. Then, Nintendo’s latest financial report is in, and it includes the first projections for Nintendo Switch 2 sales – and they’re pretty huge. There are a few smaller Switch 2 headlines to discuss this week as well, including preorders going live at the My Nintendo Store and if Nintendo’s policy to monitor Game Chat is a big deal or not. Finally in the Question Block, we share our favorite Nintendo console launch memories and the first time we remember being disappointed in a Nintendo game.
