Director Masahiro Sakurai was behind the lyrics of the main theme song in Kirby Air Riders, he’s revealed. That news comes from an interview that just went up on Nintendo’s website.
Sakurai said that he hadn’t spoke about this previously because he believes “you shouldn’t have that work’s world associated with a single person.” He added that he wouldn’t like it “if people thought that the world of Kirby Air Riders was a certain way because I’m the one who made it.”
Sakurai explained in the interview:

Best Pokemon games of all time, ranked from best to worst
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan Gnau in 3DS, DS, Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Today, we’re going over the best Pokemon games of all time – more specifically, the top 10 main series Pokemon games. The list has been updated for March 2026 since its original publish date in 2024 in celebration of the series’ 30th anniversary. Spin-offs don’t count for this particular list, but there are definitely plenty of those that are more than worth playing in the modern day. New Pokemon Snap and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon are some commonly-acknowledged highlights.
The Pokemon series is, in a way, difficult to write about. At present, the series isn’t quite in a lull, per se, but it’s also most certainly not at its peak. Developing games is difficult, and for a never-ending media franchise like Pokemon, deadlines can be tough to meet. Over the past few years, titles like Sword and Shield and especially Scarlet and Violet have drawn criticism for several reasons. Though the design quality of individual Pokemon has remained strong, things like the graphics, performance, and postgame content have become somewhat inconsistent. This leads us to ask: what do you think are the best Pokemon games of all time? We’ve made our own list, so be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
