Kirby’s Dream Land 2 friends are coming to Kirby Star Allies by way of free DLC

They are cute and I love them

Kirby Star Allies is already getting heat for its price, but if Nintendo keeps adding to it by way of free updates, it could sweeten the deal for some.

Nintendo has announced that Rick, Kine, and Coo, the trio from the Game Boy release Kirby’s Dream Land 2 (that are also featured on the cover) are coming to Star Allies as free DLC. They’ll arrive alongside of Gooey and Marx, and are going to be incorporated as Dream Friends.

For those of you who haven’t played Star Allies yet, the dream mechanic involves an area in which players can recruit cameo-level characters into the fray like Meta Knight, King Dedede, and so on. Keep these coming Nintendo!
