Put Kirby Air Riders to the test before buying by partaking in upcoming Global Test Ride

After having watched nearly two hours of Masahiro Sakurai showcasing and demoing Kirby Air Riders over the past couple of months, if you're still unsure about the game and what to expect from it, you might be glad to know that Nintendo is running a test event ahead of launch.

No doubt more so designed as a way to stress test the online elements of the game and what not, it's also a good opportunity to get a feel for the game, and as they say, try before you buy.

It will be happening on the two weekends before the game arrives on November 20. You can download a demo iteration of the game from November 7, and then you can partake in the following sessions.

• November 8 - 8:00 GMT/9:00CET until 14:00 GMT/15:00 CET


• November 9 - 00:00 GMT/1:00 CET until 6:00 GMT/7:00 CET


• November 9 - 15:00 GMT/16:00 CET until 21:00 GMT/22:00 CET


• November 15 - 8:00 GMT/9:00CET until 14:00 GMT/15:00 CET


• November 16 - 00:00 GMT/1:00 CET until 6:00 GMT/7:00 CET
