The game was also available on the Wii and Wii U Virtual Console and was part of the Wii compilation game Kirby’s Dream Collection. This isn’t the first time that Kirby 64 has made its way to Nintendo’s more modern consoles. Of course, along the way he’ll get plenty of powers to absorb, enemies to fight, and friends to help him out. The game follows Kirby as he reassembles the sacred crystal that was destroyed by Dark Matter.

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards was originally released on Nintendo 64 in 2000 and was Kirby’s first foray into 3D graphics - though it is still mostly a 2D game. Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards is coming to Nintendo Switch Online plus Expansion Pack next week, Nintendo said on Friday.

One of Kirby’s old adventures will soon be playable on Nintendo Switch.
