Switch 2 Racer Kirby Air Riders Hits New Low Price at Amazon

Amazon has cut the price of Kirby Air Riders for Nintendo Switch 2 to $51.99, a 26% reduction from its usual $69.99. The game blends kart racing with battle mechanics similar to Super Smash Bros, and includes a story-driven Road Trip mode and a City Trial battle royale mode. This is the lowest price seen since Prime Day, with the next expected drop around Black Friday.

The price cut to $51.99 marks the lowest point for a physical copy since Prime Day in June, with the next anticipated discount not expected until Black Friday in November, possibly reaching $49.99. The game's hybrid design—combining kart racing with battle mechanics and character-specific super moves—sets it apart from Mario Kart World, which focuses more on pure racing.

Beyond the main racing, the game offers a story-driven Road Trip campaign and City Trial mode, a battle royale-style experience where players explore a city to collect power-ups across 150 challenges. The article also notes that Switch 2 owners need MicroSD Express cards, as standard cards from the original Switch won't work, with 512GB and 256GB options currently discounted at Walmart.
