Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards (Nintendo Switch Online)
Venture beyond Dream Land. Stop the hungering Dark Matter. Kirby stars in his first 3D adventure, which is also his debut on the Nintendo 64 console. This game finds the always-versatile hero battling an enemy called Dark Matter. Dark Matter is after the distant Ripple Star's powerful crystal, and a young fairy named Ribbon attempted to save it by escaping with the gem. As she fled, though, the crystal was broken and its pieces scattered. Take control of Kirby, and help him journey across six worlds, battling a wide variety of enemies and challenging bosses as he tries to collect all the pieces of the shattered crystal. Along the way, you'll use Kirby's trademark Copy Ability to use enemies' strengths against them. Not only that, but you can also combine any two abilities to create a brand-new one, which is usually stronger than the original! Throw in three exciting multiplayer minigames, and you've got a package that would make even King Dedede proud. Any fan of Kirby or action games with bright, colorful graphics will vacuum this one up.
