Kirby’s Dream Buffet is coming to Switch, Nintendo just announced. It will launch this summer.

According to Nintendo, Kirby’s Dream Buffet “finds Kirbys rolling through a smorgasbord of food-themed stages in four rounds of frantic multiplayer fun. Players will race each other through these delicious obstacle courses to collect strawberries as Kirby grows, bumping other players off the stage and using familiar Copy Abilities – or Copy Food Abilities, as they are called in this game – to thwart the competition.”
