Considering that Kirby’s insatiable appetite is one of his most notable character traits, it’s hard to believe it took until now for him to be put smackdab in the center of a caloric world like this. Does Kirby’s Dream Buffet take the cake? Or is it a bit too undercooked? Let’s dig in!Ī food-themed aesthetic always excites me when it comes to video game levels whether it’s Sweet Sweet Canyon from Mario Kart 8 or the Luncheon Kingdom from Super Mario Odyssey, there’s something so appetizing about seeing oversized versions of your favorite tasty snacks. Developed by Hal Laboratory, the studio also responsible for the main-line Kirby titles, Kirby’s Dream Buffet is a spin-off multiplayer party game that draws immediate, albeit overstated, comparisons to Mediatonic’s Fall Guys.
Seeing as the turn-around time from its initial reveal to its subsequent digital-exclusive launch on the Nintendo Switch eShop was just barely over one month, marketing for the game was on the scarce side. And speaking of lack of storage space, the full retail version of the 3DS remake of Donkey Kong Country Returns can now be download at the expense of $39.99 and a whopping 17,693 blocks! Anyone who’s played the original for Wii already knows what a great job Retro did reviving this long dormant franchise but is it worth buying again? Based on everything I’ve read, the answer is “Sure, I guess so.Kirby’s Dream Buffet, not to be confused with the SNES classic Kirby’s Dream Course, seems to have flown under the radar for a lot of people.
These two are included in that awesome Anniversary Collection that came out for the Wii late last year ( which I reviewed) so if you want to maybe save space on your puny little girly-man hard drive, that might be the option to go with. The former being a collection of smaller games who’s structure still has me scratching my head and the latter a critically acclaimed sidescroller that I’ve never played because I keep forgetting that I own it. For a more traditional experience, Nintendo is also serving up Kirby Super Star as well as Kirby’s Dream Land 3. But if you want to hear it anyway I’d say this game is kind of lame-o.
I downloaded this a long time ago for the original Wii in a drunken haze and didn’t play past that night so my opinion probably isn’t worth much. First up is Kirby’s Dream Course: A “golf simulator” that plays more like a really, really weird pool game. Attention, weirdos out there burdened with the unhealthy desire to wrap your creepy little mitts around any and all things Kirby-related: Today’s list of releases for the Wii U’s Virtual Console reads like a greatest hits of the pink puffball’s 16-bit adventures.This means that not only is there a good chance you already own these titles in some form or another but that you also don’t care and will buy them again anyway.
