You can also indulge in couch co-op, screen-sharing and more. Kirby’s Dream Course is a spin-off from the main series and offers miniature golf (with Kirby serving as the ball). Kirby’s Dream Land 3 is a side-scrolling platformer where our hero can summon different allies to aid him. Kirby Super Star, one of the best games in the series, offers a plethora of different adventures, mini-games and much more to experience.

All three titles are available for the base subscription cost (which costs $3.99 for one month and $19.99 for 12 months). For those seeking a more contemporary Kirby adventure on the Nintendo Switch, there’s Kirby and the Forgotten Land which has sold 2.65 million units as of March 31st, 2022.

Bowser – Super Mario 64

Super Mario 64 was a series of firsts for many Nintendo fans. But it also offered one of the most memorable battles with Bowser ever. It was simple – the Koopa King was huge and Mario was small. The only way to defeat him was to grab his tale, swing the analog stick to get enough speed, aim for the bombs surrounding the arena and release Bowser to damage him. Simple but unique and fairly challenging on the third go-around, Bowser’s 64-form remains an iconic fight.

Ever since the Virtual Console was effectively replaced via the new Nintendo Switch Online service, feelings have been mixed about it. While in theory having a lot of classic titles wrapped into a cheap subscription service is great, the slow drip of the Switch Online service has been a bit of a rough one for fans who want more, and more quickly. But oh well, such is life. Either way, the service continues to get games and this month it’s not too bad a slate.

As revealed by Nintendo, a mix of new SNES and NES titles will be coming next week. Starfox 2, Super Punch-Out!!, Kirby Super Star and Breath of Fire 2 will be added on the SNES side, with the NES one getting Crystalis and Journey to Silius. It’s a pretty eclectic mix of games, no doubt.

All of the games will be available as part of the Switch Online service starting December 12th.

Game over- always a sign of temporary setbacks, but some games and developers know how to have fun even in these dire circumstances. Sure, a plain old screen telling you that you’re dead or that you failed your objective does its job perfectly well, but why not have some fun while doing so? In this feature, we’ll be taking a look at fifteen games with some of the most creative and fun game over screens. Without further ado, let’s begin.

SEGA RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP

If you remove the audio from this one, it’d pretty much be the most boring, drab, cookie-cutter game over screen of all time. It literally just says “Game Over” on a white screen. But it’s the audio that makes it so special. Because that screen is also accompanied with a weirdly cheerful person singing the very words on display. Why? We don’t know. Would we have it any other way? Absolutely not.

Orange Ocean – Kirby Super Star

Kirby Super Star is easily one of the best games made. No question. But Orange Ocean, a level in Revenge of Meta Knight, is kind of annoying. It starts off with Kirby underwater and the game auto-scrolls, which is an immediate tilter. Not only is Kirby slower and unable to use most abilities but you also have to dodge cannon fire. Just make sure you don’t die to the auto-scrolling (because obviously there’s a section where that can happen).
