The logo of Nintendo Co.'s Switch video game console is displayed in the Capcom Co. booth during the Tokyo Game Show 2017 at Makuhari Messe on September 21, 2017 in Chiba, Japan. The annual game show, which features games from 345 exhibitors for various platforms from game consoles to mobile phones, takes place September 21-24 and will feature eSports.

Nintendo has formally announced during its 30th-anniversary event in Japan that its new Kirby-themed multiplayer game is seeing the light of day this month.

Kirby Dream Buffet

The Japanese gaming giant first announced the new multiplayer game of Kirby, aptly known as the "Dream Buffet," last month or in July, as per a news story by Video Games Chronicle.

Nintendo disclosed that players of its upcoming gaming title could roll around the cute little puff, Kirby, in food as they compete against other contenders.

The gaming firm says in its statement that the new Kirby multiplayer "finds a gang of Kirbys rolling through a smorgasbord of food-themed stages in four rounds of frantic multiplayer fun."

Essentially, the main goal at "Dream Buffet" is to eat as much food as possible on each level, leading to the fattest Kirby among other players.

Nintendo notes that its players will have to roll over various obstacles and eat as much food as they can to win the multiplayer game.

The renowned game publisher further adds that the all-new "Dream Buffet" offers healthy competition to its players. But it is still open to "all skill levels."

Video Games Chronicle notes in its report that the giant game publisher initially announced its release date in Japan, along with its pricing. But shortly after that, Nintendo of America also confirmed that the new gaming title is also coming out in the United States.

The new Kirby game, "Dream Buffet," only retails for $15 on the Nintendo Switch eShop, The Verge reports.

The pricing for the US is a bit more expensive than its price tag on the Nintendo eShop in Japan, where it only sells for $11.30 or 1500 Japanese Yen.
