Nintendo announces Kirby's Dream Buffet, a brand new multiplayer spin-off: Release date and more
Nintendo recently dropped a brand new surprise for fans of one of their beloved platformer series: Kirby. Called Kirby's Dream Buffet, it is an entirely new multiplayer spin-off. Taking place across delicious food-themed landscapes, it is a 4-player gluttonous romp of chaos.
It is scheduled for release later in 2022. The game has caught many fans off-guard, and there is certainly mounting anticipation for it.
Eagerly anticipating munching down the giant cake in front of him, Kirby finds himself shrunk in size by a seemingly magical fork. This is a lifetime opportunity as the charming pink puffball can eat away to his heart's content.
However, three other Kirbies also seem to have been shunk down. Four Krbies, each commanded by one player, must compete in courses to emerge victorious.
These are of several different types, featuring different hazards and objectives. For example, there are standard race courses, where players must roll their way collecting strawberries.
The more food collected, the larger Kirby becomes. Players must also fight in a closed arena, utilizing sheer weight to battle it out. He can also employ a variety of Copy Abilities. One of these turns him into a swirling cupcake that sucks in food.
Meanwhile, the other is a chocolate variant of the Rock ability from the main game, but with the added benefit of pushing away opponents.
While this has not yet been confirmed, it will likely support local and online play, similar to Big N's other multiplayer games. No information has been revealed about the pricing, but it will likely be on the lower end - it is a spin-off, after all.
The series' developer HAL Laboratory is developing Kirby's Dream Buffet, and fans can expect more details as the release date nears.
