HAL is giving Kirby a chance to strut his stuff on
the Nintendo DS. Returning to his platform roots and
utilizing the DS's exclusive features, this will be
a chance for all Kirby fans to reach out and touch
him - literally.
 
Players
can expect all the floating, jumping and battling
of a classic Kirby game, but this time, Kirby's
copy abilities have been massively boosted. Not only
can players mix and match copy abilities by using
the stylus to drag them together inside Kirby's copy
center (located on the touch screen), but the powers
themselves now have the ability to affect the environment,
as well as foes. Burn trees and grasses with the Fire
ability or freeze water with the Ice ability.
When
someone steals some strawberry shortcake, the pink
powerhouse sets out after them, learning new skills
along the way. The graphics are cute and colorful.
Kirby is a cartoon come to life.
 
In sub-game mode, this game also features multi-player
fun for up to four players, using either Multi-Card
or DS Download Play over DS Local Area Network.
