Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards is the next N64 game to hit the Switch

The next N64 game to be released on the Nintendo Online Expansion Pass is Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.

The game will be available to subscribers from 20th May.

Originally released in 2000, it's a 2.5D side-scrolling platformer featuring Kirby's copy abilities, which can be combined into Power Combos.

Nintendo shared the news this morning on Twitter.

Inhale enemies and combine their abilities in #Kirby's adventure beyond Dream Land! ⭐

The release of Kirby 64 means that Pokémon Snap is the only remaining game yet to be released from the original list of forthcoming games.

Kirby is certainly having a renaissance on Switch: Kirby and the Forgotten Land is the biggest launch for the series in UK history.
