First thing I thought of when I saw the cover was the Dedede mech from the trailer for the unreleased Gamecube game. Here's hoping it finally sees the light of day.

Guess someone never played Returnt to DreamLand:

Or Mass Attack's Kirby Quest:

Are you sure this isn't just the same thing as the Waddle Dee trains in Triple Deluxe that you could derail as Supernova Kirby? I would guess Kirby just decided to hit the Waddle Dees as they drove by because Kirby's a monster.

Given the background of the picture that seems to be the case.

 

[TwiztidElf]

Why would Kirby get inside a Mech? Instead of just inhaling it and turning into Super Mech-Kirby?

Kirby Planet Robobot |OT| Remember Kirby? He's back, in robot form!

 

[Drkirby]

Why would Kirby get inside a Mech? Instead of just inhaling it and turning into Super Mech-Kirby?

Its more fun.

 

[BassForever]

Why would Kirby get inside a Mech? Instead of just inhaling it and turning into Super Mech-Kirby?

It looks to be the new version of super copy powers and hyper kirby which I'm totally fine with.

 

[SalvaPot]

Why would Kirby get inside a Mech? Instead of just inhaling it and turning into Super Mech-Kirby?

Why take the easier action? Always go for the cool option.

 

[Aaronrules380]

Why would Kirby get inside a Mech? Instead of just inhaling it and turning into Super Mech-Kirby?

probably too heavy. We've seen that normal Kirby has limits to how much he can suck in

HALBERD IS CONFIRMED

[C.Olimar788]

Poison, ESP, and Meta Knightmare Returns? Awwww yeeeeeee

Spoiler

Different power, different name.

 

[El Odio]

Footage on the Japanese site stuff seems to indicate that 1. the mech segments work like the hypernova sections where there's some puzzles involved and not like the super abilities where it's just pointless god mode and 2. If the picture on the main page and box art is an indication the game is made up of at least 6 worlds.You can see that metal sphere that's probably the final world sticking into 5 different areas, three of which are the plains, desert, and ocean.

 

[Zero-ELEC]

Different power, different name.

It's the same power, tho.

 

[Thorakai]

i love how they just try crazy shit with kirby

High score part pleases me greatly

 

[unknownstranger]

Was really happy to see this get announced. Finally a core Nintendo franchise that they aren't trying to reinvent.

Wasn't RtD built from the remnants of the cancelled Gamecube game?

 

[Dominator]

Triple Deluxe was really fantastic, so I have high hopes for this one. Day 1 for me.

 

[@MUWANdo]

There are a few different cancelled games between Kirby 64 and Kirby Wii but they're apparently unconnected despite seeming extremely similar from the outside.
.
Kirby Mass Attack has references to eeeeeeeverything--every Kirby game, characters from the cartoon, obscure HAL games--and that DDD robot design made its first official appearance in the RPG minigame from Mass Attack as a direct reference to the cancelled Gamecube game.

Eh Rainbow Curse was the last Kirby game so I'm happy we're back to a normal one.

 

[PataHikari]

Want to see what Smash is like in Robo mode.

 

[Toxi]

why are kirby games so goddamn cute

 

[Memory]

lol

 

[Plover]

...Well whaddaya know!! I never did play Mass Attack. I did play Return to Dreamland but don't remember that at all, lol.

 

[also]

Meh, another mainline Kirby game. I want spin-offs like Canvas Curse and Mass Attack not extremely easy platformers.
The main hook also doesn't look interesting; get overpowered and destroy everything in your path. Yawn, that's never fun.

 

[saturnine]

Can't wait to hear the soundtrack !

 

[Puruzi]

oh my god the robot girl whatever on the boxart is adorable

After this it's time for the next iteration of the best Kirby Spin Off: Dream Course 2 Wii U or NX please.

This looks nice! I'm a little bit behind, still have to finish the 4 player Wii one.

[NHarmonic.]

Kirby Robot Mode = Super Easy Mode.

meh.

I remember those days when you actually could die in a kirby game; Nightmare in dreamland, superstar, amazing mirror...

 

[Zaventem]

Kirby is probably the only thing nintendo can't fuck up.

 

[Jacknapes]

Triple Deluxe was brilliant, i'm most certainly interested in this. Bring on June.

 

[donkey show]

Kirby Robobot Planet |OT| ROBO ROBO FIGHT DA POWAH

 

[NHarmonic.]

Dunno why there's complaints about UFO being locked behind an amiibo. It's always been a powerup that shows up once, maybe twice in a game and is completely overpowered until you're forced to ditch it at the end of the level. Not really missing out on much,

But.. But... It's so cute.

UFO kirby >>>>

 

[BassForever]

I remember those days when you actually could die in a kirby game; Nightmare in dreamland, superstar, amazing mirror...

Sarcasm? Outside of the final boss of dreamland 2 kirby games are generally extremely easy

The only thing that's remotely difficult in Kirby games is the True Arena, which is something only the post-Superstar Ultra games have.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

I guess this is how they're reprinting the Kirby amiibos that were hard to get. Hopefully it's not a clusterfuck this time.

 

[Mandelbo]

Eeeh, doesn't really interest me at all, but then newer Kirby games haven't really interested me for quite a few years now. The main game just kinda looked like Triple Deluxe with a robot suit tacked on top.

 

[Chopper]

Even if this game is half as good as Triple Deluxe, it'll be great. Looking forward to it.

And those amiibo are fucking awesome.

Was triple deluxe that good? I think that's the only one I haven't played.

 

[BiggNife]

It's really good. Gameplay wise it's a direct sequel to Return to Dreamland and it's just as good if not a little better. The "gimmick" in TD, the supernova ability, feels better utilized than the mega abilities in RtD.
