Kirby Star Allies might be six years old, but Nintendo games have an annoying habit of staying expensive no matter how long in the tooth they get. That’s why you might want to jump on the deal Walmart is currently running. The retailer is offering Kirby Star Allies for $30, half its $60 list price, and the lowest price Walmart has ever offered for the game.
Setting Kirby Star Allies apart from other games in the series is that the “allies” part is literal–while other Kirby games have also offered cooperative play, Star Allies makes co-op a major focus. You’ll get the usual enemy-eating, power-stealing, platform-jumping gameplay Kirby is known for, but with an emphasis on recruiting enemies to your side along the way. GameSpot’s Peter Brown gave the game an 8 when it released, saying, “Star Allies is yet another Kirby game, but it’s up there with some of the best. It’s an artistic showcase, and a great opportunity for co-op platforming.”
That’s not the only Kirby Switch game that Walmart is offering on sale, although Star Allies has the best discount. You can also nab Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe, the Switch version of a cooperative Kirby romp originally released on the Nintendo Wii in 2011. It’s down to $41.23 from the usual $60 price. The Switch version earned a 7/10 in our Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe review.
Rounding out your Kirby offerings on Switch is the most recent game in the franchise, Kirby and the Forgotten Land. While its price is the highest of the bunch–$48.50–that’s still a decent deal for a game that came out in 2022. GameSpot’s Steven Petite awarded Forgotten Land a 9, writing, “Kirby and the Forgotten Land is one of those games that’s hard to play without constantly having a silly smile on your face.”
