  1. Absolutely fantastic! Great going Kirby! 😁💓

    Now we just need all thise juicy Metroid nu.bers in the coming weeks! 😍👍

  2. My personal game of the year ngl. I might be biased however, as I have like a trillion Kirby plushys hahaha

    It was DK Bananza, before then..! But,
    Kirby… :)

  3. Seems better than MK. I don’t know why Nintendo always skimp on content for MK, arguably the best MK is still DS.

    The same happened on the 64, Rare produces better games than Nintendo did for the most part.
