Kirby hits the spa (again) in prizes coming to arcades in Japan

From Saturday the 6th of December 2024, select Namco Amusement arcades across Japan will offer the chance to win new prizes based on everyone’s favorite pink ball, Kirby.

Titled “Kirby – PuPuPu no Yu”, all of the prizes on offer are bath-time themed.

6 different items will be available to win, some with multiple variants which increase the prize count to a total of 17 different items!

This is actually a re-release of a set of prizes first seen in 2021, however the new and updated 2024 version will include a super cute Kirby and Waddle Dee humidifier which will be available from the 13th of December 2024.

Players of select Namco amusement games can win plush toys, accessory pouches, vinyl figures and more throughout December and most of January.

The prizes leave arcades on the 19th of January 2025, so you’ll need to be quick if you want to get your hands on some of the larger prizes as they almost always disappear first!

If you don’t want to take your chances, there will also be a guaranteed win game that costs 500 yen to play.

By entering your money, one of 3 different prizes will be selected at random and deposited from the game machine, making this a game you just can’t lose!

Players of the guaranteed win game will either receive a towel, accessory/soap case or sticker (from 6 types).
