Kirby 64 holds up 24 years later – here’s why
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo | 0 comments
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.
