![]() ![]() ![]() Technically, the Wii U got a Kirby game (not to mention Smash Bros., which starred Kirby too), but this is the first time we have seen an actual mainline Kirby game in HD. ![]() Which makes sense, given that this is, in fact, actually the first time we have seen Kirby in HD- or at least, Kirby proper. You have here a game that looks great- Kirby has always had a pleasant and cheery bubblegum aesthetic that is the kind of thing that kids will latch on to right away, and with Star Allies, that aesthetic shines like it never has before. As Kirby games go, Star Allies is well made, and near the top of the bunch in terms of sheer quality. The levels are well designed, colorful, and immediately pleasing. You can even turn enemies to your cause, and still get access to their powers. There’s a host of interesting enemies for you to appropriate powers from. To be absolutely fair, there’s a lot going in Star Allies that keeps things fresh- you can play with your friends, or by yourself. For better or for worse, Star Allies is more Kirby. Star Allies, which marks the franchise’s debut on the Nintendo Switch, and the first major original game released by Nintendo on their console this year, falls in the latter camp- it’s more or less iterative on the co-op sidescrolling platforming formula the series has followed for a while, now. Nintendo has often been known to get wildly experimental with its pink puffball of a mascot (often to the detriment of the quality of the games), but there are other times when they are puzzlingly, disappointingly safe with games starring Kirby. ![]()
