It was just this morning we were telling you about some internet sleuths spotted Kirby Fighters 2 on Nintendo's website, and now, it's available for purchase. The original Kirby Fighters, for those who don't remember, appeared in ...

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...

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...

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...

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...

It’s easy to see mobile gaming as nothing more than a cash grab that preys on players' desire for success with as little effort as possible. That’s why there are massive ad campaigns for so many mobile games that don’t eve...

It's fun to see companies like Game Freak (Pokémon) and HAL Laboratory (Kirby) branch out with original smaller-scale games every now and then. Part Time UFO is exactly that -- it's an object-stacking action puzzler in which a sentie...

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...

Nintendo announced a new Kirby game at their E3 showcase, simply titled "Kirby." Quite a surprise after so many fancy spin-offs and subtitles. Overall not much was shown beyond what looks like you're typical Kirby including Whisp...

While there hasn't exactly been a shortage of Kirby games, we'll be seeing even more of the little pink guy thanks to the series' 25th anniversary celebration. You'll hear no complaints from me! Last week, there was Team Kirby Clash Deluxe,...

HAL Laboratory games have the uncanny ability to always bring a smile to my face. No matter the title, the developer knows what to do to absolutely charm me right off my feet. Whether I’m inhaling a Waddle-Dee, doing battle with a hip...

Goodbye! BoxBoy!, the third and as of now final entry in the BoxBoy series is no longer shrouded in mystery, as Nintendo flipped the switch on the website and moved it out of teaser mode. Now we know that Goodbye! will have full amiibo supp...

As you may have heard, BoxBoy is getting a third (and possibly final) entry on 3DS. To celebrate Nintendo is releasing it digitally and physically, and the latter will have a packed-in amiibo along with a cartridge containing all three...

It's weird to think it's only been a little more than 15 months since Satoru Iwata died. With how quickly news comes and goes in this modern age, it feels like it was years ago. But it wasn't. It was July 11, 2015. I still remember the stor...

It's hard to believe that when Kirby was first introduced to the world in 1992, he didn't even have the power to use copy-abilities. I must have beaten the original Dream Land and its New Game+ mode hundreds of times on family road tri...

Make-believe animal voyeur simulator Pokémon Snap is coming to Wii U next week, at least in Japan. While you can already play the 1999 Nintendo 64 classic on the console through the Wii portal, this version adds support for...

HAL Laboratory's BOXBOY! launched today for the Nintendo 3DS via the eshop for $4.99. I purchased BOXBOY! with my hard-earned human dollars to give you all a Beard View! You'll give it a watch, won't you? HAL has perfected making...

Nearly ten years ago, Kirby: Canvas Curse graced our original Nintendo DS handhelds, showing us (once again) that Kirby games could be about things other than floating around, ingesting bugs, and vomiting stars. Canvas Curse also had the re...
