Can't wait to see Kirby inhale enemies in buttery-smooth 60fps—those new cosmic-themed power-ups sound like they'll add some wild gameplay twists. Co-op with Bandana Waddle Dee is just the cherry on top of this already delightful pink puffball sundae.

Nice to see Kirby getting the next-gen glow-up—60fps and co-op Bandana Waddle Dee sound like a blast. The cosmic remix campaign feels like a fresh twist on an already solid formula.
