Kirby Star Allies: news and videos

Kirby Star Allies has brought my house a lot of joy these past nine months or so, and even though HAL Laboratory has announced the end of any further updates, I'll continue to play it for years to come. At launch I really enjoyed Star Allie...

Welp, like Michael Jackson's final tour, this is it.  HAL Laboratory, the developer of the Kirby series and creator of Kirby Star Allies, has announced that after this wave of free DLC characters, no more are on the way. As a...

As I've said numerous times in the past, this upcoming massive free update for Kirby Star Allies is presumed to be its last. It's going to be a doozy though as it sports Susie, Taranza, Magolor, and all three Mage-Sisters -- the secondary a...

It's sad that the DLC train for Kirby Star Allies is coming to an end soon, but I soldier on nonetheless. I will hold out hope that this is the future model for all Kirby games going forward: nearly a year of free DLC. I'm probabl...

Will the free Kirby: Star Allies DLC ever stop? Sure. But for now it's going strong and will host Taranza, Kirby's frenemy from Triple Deluxe in the near future. Her intro trailer is short and sweet, beginning with a quick Triple ...

Nintendo has revealed a third update currently in preparation for Switch title Kirby: Star Allies. The update, which will arrive at the end of this month, brings some new content for the colourful platformer.The first addition comes in the ...

Kirby Star Allies has found a way, much like life itself, onto my TV screen on a consistent basis since its launch in March of this year. It's not just a fantastic replayable platformer: it's also been somewhat steadily supported by DLC for...

Daroach satisfies most of the required elements of a memorable Kirby villain. He's menacing but still mostly cute, stylish, and colorful. He might not have starred in the most popular Kirby game (2006's Squeak Squad), bu...

As expected given that an accurate leak has basically confirmed all upcoming Kirby Star Allies DLC, Nintendo has trolled us with a Kirby-shaped mystery tweet -- leading us to believe that maybe a new form of Kirby was in the works. Nop...

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'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...

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 ...

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...

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...
