During the April 12th 2017
Nintendo Direct, it was brought to my attention that it's the Kirby
series' 25th anniversary this year. From it's humble
beginnings as a Game Boy title, Kirby has come quite a long way since
then; he's had a whole eleven games in the main series and a huge number
of spin offs on top of that. The series shows no signs of slowing
down anytime soon, with three brand new titles being announced in the
aforementioned Nintendo Direct, two of which are coming out later
this year and the third of which (that I'm reviewing now) was made
available straight after the Nintendo Direct ended. I say 'three
brand new titles' and what I actually mean is one brand new title and
two 'Deluxe' versions of the two mini games from Kirby: Planet
Robobot (Team Kirby Clash and Kirby 3D Rumble).
Team Kirby Clash Deluxe is a slightly strange title in the series due to it being a free to play game, meaning you can download it and experience the full game completely free of charge. However, as with most free to play games there is an incentive to give a payment for in game currency. This currency is called Gem Apples and these are required for pretty much every function in the game, but before I get ahead of myself, let's talk about the game itself.
