Kirby's Dream Buffet announced, features multiplayer obstacle courses



Nintendo has a new Kirby game for fans this summer. Kirby's Dream Buffet has been suddenly announced, and is a 4 player obstacle course-centric multiplayer game, similar in vein to Fall Guys. Four players get to go head to head by rolling through the levels, trying to collect as many strawberries as possible, in order to gain the edge in the final course that sees them fight to the finish. Kirby's Dream Buffet will be out sometime later this summer, and will be a digital-only release, with no price point currently given.

In this 1 minute video, Nintendo have delivered more exclusives than the PS5 and Xbox series in two years.

The bar is so fucking low for gaming right now.
Why is exclusivity the bar? Sony and Xbox are making more money than ever precisely because they've expanded to PC. I love me some Kirby, but Nintendo would be wise to consider doing the same, as most Switch games can be emulated well anyway.

NO exclusivity is what you want as gamer. it gives healthy competition for innovation etc.. Now it will become a semi dry waste land. Watch my words.(as it is already) Atleast we still have nintendo.

You may be mistaking exclusivity for competition and its not. Exclusivity just limits people's choices and developers ability to make profit from larger audiences. Limiting something to a console is in no way helping anyone besides the console seller who makes bank off of a developers hard work after making a contract that says we get a certain percentage because we allow you into our circle. This actually hurts competition because if a company says they can't sell on other consoles then that company has a monopoly on those games which leads to issues like a developer having to censor their work or being unable to support themselves because their game can be on a console whose audience won't wanna play on. Take the vita many good games died on that console but are coming back because PC allowed them to be found by a wider audience and made them better due to mods and other upgrades. Sadly developers who have died to those conditions won't be getting anything now even if their game sells. It's a shame exclusivity kills developers and competition for games, now for consoles yes exclusives help but only the console maker which doesn't help the gaming industry grow just the consoles makers wallet.

Well since you've admitted your wrong I don't have to so there it is nice and short lol. But seriously what did you not read what I wrote or do you want me to somehow explain how monopolies are bad for businesses in general. There are better people and the internet for that one.

The idea is that for first party exclusive titles to be system sellers, they need to be good enough to justify buying an entire console to play them. Some of the best games ever created fall into this category, so we as gamers do benefit from exclusivity that way.

Just think about how much better Sonic was when Sega needed the games to sell their consoles. Or how good Mario World, Mario 64, Crash Bandicoot, etc. were.
