Nintendo just announced Kirby’s Dream Buffet, a new multiplayer Kirby game

destructoid.com:

Kirby’s Dream Buffet was just announced this morning, with a Nintendo Direct or anything! It’s a four player game that’s set to release “this summer,” and will feature a core focus of racing through obstacle courses.

Since it’s all the info we have at the moment, here’s the full rundown of Kirby’s Dream Buffet from Nintendo:

“Roll through a smorgasbord of food-themed stages in 4 rounds of 4-player fun as Kirby…who seems rounder than usual? Race through delicious obstacle courses to collect strawberries as Kirby grows. Then, turn the tides in the final round—a fruity fight atop a floating platform. Roll through delicious, food-themed obstacle courses in 4-player matches Collect strawberries to grow bigger and prepare for the final battle.”

Note the proviso for multiplayer, right on the game’s official site: “Additional games and systems required for multiplayer mode. Sold separately.”

You can find the Kirby’s Dream Buffet listing here. That makes two Kirby games this year! Typically the fluff ball manages to knock out a ton of spinoffs these days, so this isn’t as big of a surprise, but it’s a welcome one regardless. I’m getting a sort of Kirby’s Dream Course vibe with the rolling around, and it seems like there’s a bit of Fall Guys influence there too.
