Best part of the Direct. I adored Triple Deluxe so I'm on board already. It being robot-themed is a crazy bonus. Can't wait to see how the bosses will be. We'll probably see that "robot Metaknight" guy from Return to Dreamland again.

 

[SoundPulse]

Really loved Triple Deluxe, so I'm in.

 

[MrSaturn99]

How to make angry Kirby work: Stick him in a giant mech.

Yeah, I'm amazed it's actually growing on me, LOL

He's not pissed off which is a bonus (although not always; see Mass Attack).

Ok, I'm here. What do you need?

DOCTOR KIRBY IS AN ABILITY MANNNN

 

[Chase17]

Count me in. I hope the ost is as good as triple deluxe.

 

[Niraj]

Loved Triple Deluxe, so definitely in for this. Looks great.

 

[Akiller]

Just saw this on twitter

 

[Marow]

Triple Deluxe is one of the best Kirby and 3DS games, so I'm glad we're seeing another title! I love the dual layers.

False alarm, it was just the hype

Physician, swallow thyself

 

[TheCongressman1]

It's amazing looking. Mech Kirby? I would have never seen that coming, but it looks like a lot of fun.

 

[Malus]

Bayo 2, Xenoblade X, Kirby Robobo. Noticing a pattern.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

I really hope Heavy Lobster makes an appearance here, the GOAT videogame mecha.

 

[C.Olimar788]

Super excited for this! More Triple Deluxe is always a good thing considering how good it was.

I'm disappointed that they're gating an entire ability behind an amiibo, though. C'mon Nintendo, I'll buy the Kirby amiibo without you doing that. :'c Also a little disappointed that the Waddle Dee amiibo is a generic Dee instead of Bandana, and the Dedede's model looks a little wonky, but... that's more nitpicky, lol.

 

[Ranmo]

Iron Blooded Kirby.

 

[Gartooth]

I look forward to playing this, though I do hope that the mech sections aren't sluggish. Also that Waddle Dee amiibo is miiiiiiiiiiiine!

 

[MrSaturn99]

Yup, Angry Kirby's in Japan too.

I'm guessing NOA isn't budging on this issue, so they're homogenizing boxarts across all regions unless the graphic style demands a happier design (Rainbow Curse).

Oh well, in the end, what matters is the game, and it looks wonderful.

[GooeyHeat]

The robot using a modified version of your power reminds me of the animal friends from Dream Land 2 and 3. Gameplay-wise it looks more like Return to Dream Land and Triple Deluxe, both of which I loved. And the return of Smash Bros. Kirby is nice.

+1


This game combines my two favorite things: Kirby Triple Deluxe and fighting mechs. And then it combines them again with copy abilities. Doctor Mech Kirby will be glorious. Administering high doses of VITAMIN-D-STRUCTION. I'm ready for some epic GAF Kirby Hunters groups, too.

 

[Timeaisis]

Mecha Kirby, boyyyyzzzzzz

 

[Ultimadrago]

Omg new Kirby amiibo!!!!

This.

Gimme now.

 

[Niraj]

Well, I have to at least get that Waddle Dee.

 

[Revven]

This is actually looking to be a really good game and I greatly enjoyed Triple Deluxe.

Is the multiplayer thing still local only, though? :/

 

[Not]

This. Nobody has a 3DS except at conventions. I'd love an online mode.

 

[Hours Left]

Well, I have to at least get that Waddle Dee.

I'm so glad that Waddle Dee has become a true mascot of the series now.

 

[Sölf]

Nintendo wants all my money it seems. But I dig in again, Kirby games are always great. And if it turns out to be as good as Triple Deluxe, this will be another great game of the franchise.

And it has fucking mechs. Should actually be a no brainer.

 

[Niraj]

I'm so glad that Waddle Dee has become a true mascot of the series now.

I've always loved that little dude

 

[casiopao]

KIRBYDAM LAUNCHINGGGG.^_^

 

[Prosopon]

Neat. Kirby's Dreamland was the first video game I was actually able to beat. (Although it was apparently designed to be easier than most games.)

 

[Samemind]

This saved the direct for me. I think i'll do another run through every traditional kirby in anticipation.

 

[Hours Left]

I've always loved that little dude

He's amazing. Kirby has so many awesome enemy designs.

Ever since I saw Waddle Dee floating down with his little parasol, I was in love.

 

[Solid SOAP]

Looks cute, city level looks cute. However I'm kinda wishing Nintendo took some more risks with the franchise again, oddly enough. I'd love another fully stylus controlled game.

 

[El Odio]

Did the standalone Kirby fighters game have online? That'll basically tell us if Hunters will or not.

 

[JCX]

More excited for Kirby Hunters. Is that online or local only?

 

[Zalman]

I absolutely loved Triple Deluxe. I'm down for more.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

What purpose does the amiibo serve for this game? Are they just unlockable characters or do they have special attacks or special outfits?

 

[Raw64life]

Quite a nice surprise. Enjoy Triple Deluxe and will likely pick this up.

 

[Bronetta]

Yoooo I loved Triple Deluxe so I'm totally in!

 

[C.Olimar788]

Meta Knight, Waddle Dee, and Dedede give you abilities with special costumes (Sword, Parasol, and Hammer respectively). Kirby gives you UFO ability, which is exclusive to the amiibo. Smash Bros. amiibo give you abilities (all from the game normally, seemingly), sometimes randomly and sometimes to match the amiibo, but without special costumes.

 

[Berordn]

More excited for Kirby Hunters. Is that online or local only?

Expect local only, like Kirby Fighters.

 

[Lorcain]

Triple Deluxe is one of the best Kirby and 3DS games, so I'm glad we're seeing another title! I love the dual layers.

Agreed. This is a day 1 purchase for me.

 

[FleetingFlowAir]

I loved Triple Deluxe, so I'm definitely getting this.

 

[Revven]

Expect local only, like Kirby Fighters.

Soooo dumb. Why!? Ugh.

Wow, okay. I hope this is stuff that could be purchased from the eshop.

 

[Zaventem]

Angry kirby's back boys!

 

[Tacorona72]

Absolutely looking forward to this game.

 

[Berordn]

Soooo dumb. Why!? Ugh.

Presumably because it's just a little side project to them and not a fully fledged affair? I'd have liked to see it, Kirby Fighters is still a blast.

 

[Lindsay]

aha! I just knew they couldn't get away with only releasing a single Kirby for the system! Triple Deluxe was super fun so I'll almost surely get this!

 

[Kssio_Aug]

I don't care for the amiibos but the game seems really really funny! Will probably get it!

 

[Sapiens]

New Kirby game for 3DS in the vein of Triple Deluxe.

Kirby can pilot a GIANT ROBOT

There is also a 4 player downloadable multiplayer game called Kirby Hunters too.

Also has Kirby amiibo line with amiibo support.

The cover makes it look like kirby got a bad boob job.
