Nintendo's chubby little pink fellow has starred in dozens of fantastic games. Now that he has entered the divisive realm of freemium gaming, should gamers still embrace his cuteness?
"It's hard not to love Kirby and Yoshi but what if you had to choose between the two? Let's explore them as characters as well as take a look at their games and see which cutie comes out on top." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Phil writes, "Like the previously reviewed Kirby's Blowout Blast, Team Kirby Clash Deluxe is an expanded version of a side game originally seen in 2016's Kirby: Planet Robobot. However, unlike Blowout Blast, Team Kirby Clash Deluxe requires no cost for the price of entry. While this may sound like a great thing, Nintendo's desire to bring a freemium mobile model to the world of Kirby of all franchises makes for a dissatisfying end result."
HAL Laboratory's freemium Kirby combat experience somehow has struck the sweet spot between treating the consumer right and making money.
