Kirby’s Dream Buffet Brings Multiplayer Mayhem to Nintendo Switch eShop

Kirby’s Dream Buffet Adds Competitive Multiplayer Action to Nintendo Switch In a surprise move that delighted fans and industry insiders alike, Nintendo has announced Kirby’s Dream Buffet, a new four-player competitive multiplayer game set to launch exclusively on the Nintendo Switch eShop.

This announcement comes just months after the highly successful release of Kirby and the Forgotten Land in March 2022, demonstrating developer HAL Laboratory and Nintendo’s continued commitment to the beloved Kirby franchise. Kirby’s Dream Buffet serves up a unique party experience tailored for multiplayer sessions.

In this vibrant title, players control Kirby as he rolls through food-themed obstacle courses, aiming to gobble up as many strawberries as possible.

The main objective is not just to grow larger by collecting fruit, but to outmaneuver and outpace up to three other players in a fast-paced, whimsical competition.

The game culminates in a final, high-stakes battle atop a floating stage, where size and savvy can tip the scales in the race for victory. According to Nintendo’s official press statement, players will "roll through a smorgasbord of food-themed stages across four rounds of fun, racing through delicious obstacle courses to collect strawberries and grow.

Strategies come into play as the action intensifies, especially during the concluding fruity showdown." The inclusion of signature Kirby mechanics—including Copy Abilities—ensures that long-time fans and newcomers alike will find plenty to enjoy within the colorful chaos. Kirby’s Dream Buffet marks another innovative multiplayer entry for the Switch, emphasizing short, accessible rounds that echo the pick-up-and-play appeal of titles like Fall Guys, but with the unmistakable charm and polish of a mainline Nintendo game.

This focus on competitive and cooperative play has been a hallmark of the Nintendo Switch library, and the platform continues to thrive with creative new entries. While Nintendo has yet to announce a specific price or definitive release date for Kirby’s Dream Buffet, the company has confirmed a general release target of summer 2022, with distribution restricted to the Nintendo Switch eShop.

All eyes will be on future Nintendo Direct presentations for additional details, including pricing and post-launch content. Kirby’s Dream Buffet stands as a testament to HAL Laboratory’s ability to quickly deliver engaging new experiences for the Nintendo Switch audience.

Fans eager for more Kirby content won’t have to wait much longer to roll into the action.

Stay tuned for ongoing updates as further information becomes available.
