Kirby 64 Game-Breaking Bug Fix On NSO Coming Early Next Week Confirms Nintendo
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards was recently introduced as a part of the N64 NSO Expansion Pack. As with many retro games, this one too had some obscenely hard sections that you just couldn't get past. A number of players found that they were getting stuck in the game's water levels especially. However, it turns out that the game isn't tougher than they remember, but it's actually a bug.

The only way to resume was to restart the game entirely, losing any progress made up till that point. Nintendo has finally addressed the bug and has said that a fix will be released soon.
