Here’s the full roundup:
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards released in 2000. 24 years later, we decided to revisit the game with a 100 percent run. How does it hold up all these years later? We’d say that overall, yes, it does.
Kirby 64 released during an interesting era of the Kirby franchise. If you’ve ever played Kirby’s Dream Land 2 or 3, then you’re probably well aware that these games have their own unique feel to them that isn’t quite captured in future titles. Whether that uniqueness is a good thing or not is up to you, but Kirby 64, which came afterward, keeps that particular feel – in terms of not only its mechanics, but its aesthetics, characters, and general design philosophy as well.
Classic quotes made Shigeru Miyamoto have resurfaced in which the Zelda creator spoke about his admiration for Banjo-Kazooie. These comments were shared in a May 1998 issue of Famitsu.
Fans may remember that Zelda: Ocarina of Time was originally slated for 1997 before Nintendo pushed it to the following year. We’ve heard about reasons for the delay previously, but it also looks like Banjo-Kazooie partially contributed to the release date change. Miyamoto said in Famitsu that Banjo-Kazooie is “so amazing that we don’t want to be outdone”.
This week, we learned that Masahiro Sakurai is working on a new game. After coming up with a proposal for the project in 2021, actual development started the following year.
Here’s where the fan debate comes in. Some would like to see another Smash Bros. game with Sakurai at the helm while others would like to see him work on something else. If Nintendo wants a new Smash Bros. title on Switch’s successor and Sakurai is in charge of something else, that could mean that someone entirely different would need to handle the directorial duties.
Sakurai’s legacy will always be tied to Smash Bros. However, he’s obviously worked on games outside of that. During the early days of his career, Sakurai was heavily involved with Kirby. He’s also handled Kid Icarus: Uprising and Meteos.
What would you ultimately like to see here? Smash Bros. is always an option for Sakurai, but he could also make a Kid Icarus: Uprising follow-up or something totally different. Let us know in the comments.

September 23: Stray won’t be digital-only when it debuts on Switch this holiday, as a physical release is now confirmed to be happening. Retailers have started putting up listings showing the boxed version. Skybound Games looks to be in charge of distribution.
