2022 is Kirby’s year. Nintendo revealed the trailer for Kirby’s Dream Buffet, a four-player party title starring everyone’s favorite pink ball of joy. The new game sees Kirby – along with three differently colored compatriots – devour a veritable mountain of cake.
If the trailer has anything to offer, Dream Buffet is inspired by Kirby Super Star’s Gourmet Race mini-game. Kirby and his party compete to see who can devour most of the giant pie world around them. The game has four rounds of play, according to: the eShop description†
It also seems to be inspired by Fall Guys as Kirby has to race through obstacle courses against Waddle-Dee NPCs. The more strawberries Kirby eats along the way, the faster he rolls. The most voracious Kirby wins, of course.
Since 2022 is Kirby’s 30th birthday, it makes sense that it will have more than one game. Where Forgotten Land was an epic adventure, this one is more of a bite-sized candy (sorry, the trailer left me really hungry). Dream Buffet will be launched in Summer 2022 – which is actually now, so hopefully it will come out soon.
