I can't wait to see how this game performs. I think this will vastly overperform what most people are expecting because the Switch 2 is so dry right now and still early in its lifespan. At the very least, Sakurai knows how to put together a team for a great soundtrack.

My only guess is Nintendo wanted a racer as a foot in the door for non-Kirby fans that write off the series for being too easy. Sonic's racer from a few years back ended up being the best selling Sonic game since the Genesis games (before Frontiers outdid it), and Crash's CTR remake ended up selling over 10 mil.
