Nintendo has confirmed that Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards is coming to Switch next week.

Little by little, Nintendo has been expanding the list of classic Nintendo 64 games available on the Switch. There are still plenty of worthy titles missing from the lineup, but with Kirby and the Forgotten Land recently released, Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards seems like an obvious choice. And it is, as Nintendo announced via Twitter that the N64 outing for its roundest, pinkest mascot would indeed be the next game added to the library.
Kirby's adventure this time around (which actually took place over 20 years ago) takes the little puffball all over Dreamland in an attempt to stop an advancing dark force. And, as the full name suggests, collect various crystal shards. All while doing what Kirby does best: eating enemies to copy their abilities.
The game’s original multiplayer minigames are also intact on Switch, with support for up to four players locally or in online co-op. Although, playing party game-esque diversions with your friends won’t advance the plot or save Dreamland.
