The pink puff is back—in HD—and he’s not alone.

Kirby™ is back—and he’s finally on the Nintendo Switch console in HD! But this time, he’s not alone. Recruit enemies by hitting them with hearts and gather helpers for a party of up to four characters. On top of that, you can join with up to three friends for a different kind of team-up action!

Features:

• The newest Kirby title comes to the Nintendo Switch console in HD
• Recruit up to three enemies as helpers by hitting them with hearts
• Returning copy abilities include, Sword, Fire, Water, Bomb, Broom and many more!
• Imbue copy abilities with different elements, such as wind, water, fire and electricity, by borrowing or giving them to helpers to add more attack power, unleash powerful attacks, or solve puzzles
• Up to 4 players can join in with the horizontal Joy-Con™ controller configuration, or 8 Joy-Con with 4 Joy-Con Grips

Gameplay

Gameplay is similar to previous 2D Kirby platforming games. In addition to being able to copy enemy powers by inhaling them, Kirby can also have up to three enemies join his side by hitting them with hearts; these enemies can be computer-controlled, or controlled by additional players. In addition to having these enemies fight by his side, Kirby can also use them to combine their powers with Copy Abilities, similar to Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.
