Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

(IDG) -- Children of all ages will get a welcome shock to the system when Kirby makes his way to the Nintendo 64. A pink marshmallow creature with the ability to devour and assimilate his enemies' abilities, the protagonist of Nintendo's Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards is a hero for the new millennium. He's cute, he's small, and he's bad - he's Kirby!
Jigglypuff your way to power
All you have to do is swallow an enemy whole, and you can assume a crazy Kirby version of that baddie's powers. If you eat a fire-breathing monster, then Kirby gains fire powers. Swallow an ice creature, and you gain the ability to freeze your enemies. Even better, combine the two and win a weird fire-n-ice combo. With so many different types of powers available, the combinations abound.

Stay puffed, stay tuned
While its gameplay and graphics seem kiddish, you can rest assured that Kirby 64 will have the stuff it needs to rope older gamers. If it can suck in more mature players in addition to its target audience of rug rats, then Kirby 64 should have the power when it lands in stores on June 27.
