If a chain reaction is formed this way, then a number of stars will fall down to the field, briefly filling in the spaces where they land. Blocks can fall to form a group if the blocks underneath them are cleared. If two or more matching friend blocks are placed so their edges touch, they are cleared. Star blocks can be cleared by sandwiching them between a pair of matching friend blocks. The overall goal of the game is to prevent the blocks from piling up to the top of the screen by clearing them. Each block of a domino can be a star block, or an image of Coo the Owl, Rick the Hamster, or Kine the Fish. As with most puzzle games of this type, the dominoes can be rotated at 90-degree angles. This game is played by placing 2-block pieces (dominoes) into a 6x9 playfield. Goal: Trap one or more star blocks between a pair of matching C, R, or K blocks.I just hope that Nintendo doesn't ditch the whole thing again come the launch of its next console. Sure, we're only getting one a month at present, but they're often popular titles that fans instantly resonate with.Īt the very least, the SNES and NES collections are still showing signs of life. Thankfully, there's a greater feeling of stability with Nintendo Switch Online's lineup of N64 games available on the Expansion Pack tier. A tiny handful of games added every month definitely gives the retro apps a bit of a wild west feeling. Especially considering the enormous quantity of games these consoles are home to. And the minuscule number of SNES and NES games added each month is pretty woeful. Such games aren't going to be to everyone's liking. Another month, another mediocre offering? But still, it's nice to see some more obscure titles and hidden gems come to Nintendo Switch Online. The Switch's retro offerings are still a far cry from the days of the Virtual Console on Wii and Wii U. All in all, it's another excellent puzzle game added to the Nintendo Switch's ranks. Not to mention some truly hilarious one-liners Kirby throws at his opponents in cutscenes. Kirby's Avalanche is chock-full of charmingly colorful visuals and brilliantly fun puzzle gameplay that's barely aged a day.
