Kirby’s Dream Buffet releasing August 17

Original: At the end of the Kirby 30th Anniversary Music Fest Live, it was announced that Kirby’s Dream Buffet will release next week on August 17 in Japan via the eShop. There is no word yet on whether this launch date will apply to other regions, which currently still have a Summer 2022 release window. In Japan, the game will cost 1500 yen.

Here’s an overview of the game:

Roll through a smorgasbord of food-themed stages in 4 rounds of 4-player* fun as Kirby…who seems rounder than usual? Race through delicious obstacle courses to collect strawberries as Kirby grows. Then, turn the tides in the final round—a fruity fight atop a floating platform.
