Japan-only Starfy games now out worldwide on Nintendo Switch Online

Three Starfy games previously only available in Japan have been added to Nintendo Switch Online for Expansion members.

Densetsu no Starfy 1, 2 and 3 were all released on the Game Boy Advance between 2002 and 2004, but are now available globally on Switch.

So who is Starfy? As one comment on X put it: “He’s like Kirby, but a starfish”. Makes sense.
