Much deserved, my 6 yet old is loving it, I’ll play it once I’m allowed haha
Nice! :D
But it should be selling better than zelda: breath of the wild and mario odyssey, c’mon guys it’s sakurai’s character let’s make it into a multi million seller.
It’s a great game, but it doesn’t have anywhere near the near universal appeal of Zelda and especially Mario.
They’ve always been the bigger franchises.
I know Kirby is a C-lister in the eyes of almost everyone.
Great news! Here’s hoping we get more 3D Kirby games in the future
