The game will be out soon, and a few friends will be joining Kirby.
The first of the Switch games to be mentioned in the Nintendo Direct, Kirby Star Allies is coming out next week on March 16 and there is already a playable demo on the eShop.
The game can be played with one to four players and as you play through Dream Palaces the Dream Friends will be added and even King Dedede, Bandana Waddle Dee and Metanight will be available as playable characters.
In following weeks, more Dream Friends will be added in post-launch free updates. The first update on March 28 will have Rick & Kine & Coo from Kirby's Dreamland 2, Marx from Kirby Superstar, and Gooey from Kirby's Dreamland 3.
But Marx?! Man, that's a crazy choice. I've always wanted Marx to return as villain in the series but to be a helper. That's just mind-blowing to me as a Kirby fan. What next, Nightmare? Magolor? Fatty Whale? Whispy Woods? The Squeak Squad? HAL is entering a brave new world in regards to who can be Kirby's allies.
