In video games, not all characters are created equal. Many exist for the primary purpose of serving as generic obstacles, fodder that any half-decent player will overcome by the dozen. It’s a sad truth in digital worlds ruled by stati...

Hal Laboratory, speaking on Twitter, have announced that three previously Japan-only Kirby soundtrack albums are now available for download worldwide.The first of the three releases is Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert, a recording o...

Based on the datamining efforts of the Kirby: Star Allies community close to its launch, we learned about the "wave" strategy that Nintendo was fixing to use to deliver free DLC. Over the course of three waves new characters would be introd...

Daroach was always kind of an unsung villain in the Kirby universe. I mean Squeak Squad isn't a marquee Kirby game for one, but I always dug his blazing magician design. Now he's getting his due in Kirby Star Allies as a...

[Update: The second wave is now confirmed by Nintendo.] Kirby Star Allies is a short romp, like most Kirby games, but the meat is in its ability to entice you with multiple playthroughs. That's a lot easier to get on board with given that N...

I don’t say this nearly enough, but my mom is the absolute best. She’s simply wonderful. She’s easy to shop for, she doesn’t have time for any of that emotional bullshit, and she always knows how to make her kids fee...

I'm happy to see that the reception for Kirby Star Allies has been mostly positive, as it's a great return to console form after such a long hiatus for the series.  Although it didn't monumentally shake up the franchise (it is Kirby&nb...

Kirby Star Allies has essentially become an all-star meeting of various bits and pieces of Kirby history as time has gone on. What started as a simple crossover mechanic eventually became host to a window for DLC, as the Dream Palace zone a...

March NPD numbers are finally out and, as expected, Far Cry 5 is sitting atop the overall sales chart. Not the biggest surprise given Ubisoft announced earlier in the month the game is the fastest-selling entry in the franchise, but it...

Until this moment I forgot Otamatones existed, and I'm ashamed of myself. I doubt that will ever happen again, as I'm considering importing this Kirby edition Otamatone. For those of you who haven't seen one before it's kind of like a recor...

We have no idea if Nintendo is going to keep making Kirby Star Allies content, but for now, I'm really enjoying the 2.0 update that went live today. In short, among small visual fixes and the addition of a new celebration puzzle pictur...

Again I must espouse the greatness of Kirby Star Allies. I'm working on my third playthrough now after running the extra arena mode multiple times, and I think I'm already planning my fourth based on all of the free character DLC on th...

I'm already pretty much in love with Kirby Star Allies, but if Nintendo is going to keep adding in extra DLC characters for free, I'll keep playing it. In addition to the already announced Dream Land 2 friend trio, Marx, the villain fr...

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 ...

The very-cute and not-very-useful Kirby Hovering Helicopter is back in stock and available to pre-order at Japanese retail outlets. The dinky toy released last year and proceeded to sell out faster than the pink blob can gobble down enemies...

I had to do a double-take once I realized we haven't had a mainstream console Kirby in seven years. Seven years! It almost seemed like Nintendo was ready to plop the little fluff ball onto portables permanently, and given that the Swit...

Kirby: Star Allies is releasing next week and Nintendo has revealed a pre-order/launch day bonus for the game. US gamers who grab the game from Target and Canadian gamers who buy it from Microplay or EB Games will walk home with Kirby's won...

Kirby Battle Royale is already out in every region, but Nintendo decided to hold a poll on the next copy ability, to be added in a future update. Yo-Yo and Suplex lost out to Sleep! This follows the win of the Mirror copy ability, added in ...

When the December 2017 NPD Group data came out earlier this month, the biggest surprise wasn’t that the Switch sold 1.5 million units in the US. That was expected given its meteoric rise. No, the biggest surprise was the 3DS family, a...

We are a couple days out from the launch of Kirby Battle Royale, a game that could very well be Kirby’s final appearance on the Nintendo 3DS. It's a bit sad, like an end of an era, but the wait won't be too long for the pink puff...

Kirby Battle Royale is kind of squeaking by without much fanfare, but that's kind of the case for all of the Kirby spinoffs on 3DS. As of today in Europe you can grab a demo for it though, which will provide an instant unlock for Meta Knigh...

I completely forgot Kirby: Battle Royale was a thing. Unless it's a major release I kind of just play Kirby games when I notice they're out -- which, given the low amount of publicity Nintendo gives some spinoffs, might be the week before i...

It looks like the Kirby game Nintendo showed off during E3 was Kirby: Star Allies. This game features single player gameplay with three computer counterparts (or three buddies), but the newest mechanic seems the most interesting. Mixing pow...

Kirby Battle Royale, the top down Kirby brawler featuring a lot of the same powers from the other various spin-off titles, will be coming to Nintendo 3DS with a single-player and online multiplayer fighting modes.  It looks fun enough...

Today would be the 100th birthday of Jack Kirby, creator and co-creator of many of Marvel Comic's biggest superstars. Coincidentally, it's also 25 years today since lovable ball of inhalation Kirby saw his Game Boy game Kirby's Dream Land r...
