Kirby Planet Robobot

[Sonictrainer]

Quote

Harness the power of a mysterious mech to stop the ruthless Haltmann Works Company from mechanizing Kirby's home world. Smash through tough obstacles, lift heavy objects with ease, and scan enemies to shape-shift into new Modes with powerful abilities in this supercharged action-platformer!

That's right—Kirby's Robobot Armor can shape-shift into different modes by scanning enemies to copy their moves—like the new Jet Mode. Not to mention, Kirby™ can copy abilities the old-fashioned way too—by inhaling them! After saving the world, team up with three friends to defeat foes in Team Kirby Clash, an RPG-styled 4-player* brawl where you choose from varied classes and level them up. Need a quick fix? Take on challenges in a 3D space and aim for a high score in Kirby 3D Rumble. Ready for a challenge? Play as Meta Knight in a blazing-fast time attack mode to fight new bosses and tougher enemies while Kirby takes a well-deserved nap!

Use the mysterious Robobot Armor to scan enemies and shape-shift into powerful Modes

Kirby's copy ability returns, allowing him to inhale, spit out foes, and transform

Employ new and improved Copy Abilities including:

• Doctor: Use clip boards, throw pills, and mix concoctions
• ESP: Wear a cool hat and use psychic abilities
• Poison: Spray toxic mists and other noxious abilities
• Super Smash Bros.: Gain Kirby's updated Super Smash Bros.™ move set

Use the Download Play feature in Team Kirby Clash, an RPG-styled mode for up to 4 players* (or sharpen your skills by playing solo)

Enjoy a selection of additional game modes, including Meta Knightmare Returns, Kirby 3D Rumble, and The Arena

Collect hidden code cubes and stickers in every level and use the stickers to decorate your Robobot Armor
*Additional systems and games are required for multiplayer mode; sold separately.

To enjoy the 3D effect of Nintendo 3DS software, you must experience it from the system itself. All screenshots and videos on this website have been captured in 2D mode.

Kirby is headed back to #3DS, and this time the pink puffball must save Dream Land from robotic invaders!

In Kirby: Planet Robobot, Kirby will use the enemies’ tech against them! Look at him in that Robobot Armor!

The Robobot Armor uses more than 10 modes, upgraded versions of Kirby’s classic copy abilities.

Kirby: Planet Robobot for #3DS and the new Kirby series #amiibo launch on 6/10

Kirby: Planet Robobot includes a four-player co-op mode called Team Kirby Clash, which find players battling tough bosses! 

For the first time in a Kirby game, you can earn experience points and level up in Kirby Clash mode.

This fun multiplayer mode also uses Download Play, so only one of your friends needs to have the game!

Kirby: Planet Robobot uses all the #amiibo figures! Some grant Kirby a special copy ability!

Using the Mario #amiibo, for instance, will give Kirby a Fire ability. The Link amiibo gives him a Sword & so on..

New #amiibo figures for Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight & Waddle Dee will launch alongside Kirby: Planet Robobot.

I think I might have to get this game. Looking adorably badass so far.

[Ducktor Naldush]

Can you fall in love with a concept?

Because I'm all mushy for Classic-gameplay Kirby in a mecha.

No Power Painwhazzit or Epic Yaddayadda, mechas are the way to go! 

[Marcello]

Game looks pretty gpod. Mech Suit is cool. PAL name will probably be something like "Kirby: Power Robot Suit" >_>

When I first saw the amiibos, I thought, "Hey, that's decent amiibo support!". Then they showed the Kirby amiibo line and ruined it with exclusive powers

[TCB]

You don't even KNOW how much I love this

Triple Deluxe was great, and this is looking like that +1 in almost every way

They even doing a sequel of sorts to Kirby Fighters and you'll be fighting against larger enemies and possibly previous bosses?

Sign me the hell UP.

[Adamabba]

Triple Deluxe -- but with robots? Sign me up day 1.

[sonicgirl313]

Oh my god, I predicted the future when I drew Kirby as an Insecticon. XD

[Kuzu]

.....Right, this reminds me I should play Triple Deluxe.

[Failinhearts]

Kirby with mechs... count me in!

Kirby amiibo series... count me double in!

[Adamabba]

Here's the boxart.

[Tori Himemiya]

When I first saw Kirby jumping into a mech I immediately compared it to Megaman X since it also has giant mech gameplay, to the point the two robot suits look similar. I'm not saying this as a bad thing since it was fun in X and here Kirby is wrecking shit with it and it looks awesome. Having it use powers too is another plus.

I'm really looking forward to playing a new Kirby adventure. 

[Ristar]

I really hope the difficulty is higher...I enjoyed Triple Deluxe, but it was too easy.

[Chili Dawg]

This game looks so fucking fun. Kirby is always fun as it is, but throw him in a mech, sure why not! Robots are awesome. LES DO IT KIRBY STYLE.

[TCB]

I too am hoping for a more challenging adventure in this game. 

[Dejimon11]

Oooh this game looks really interesting. I'm in and those amiibos man they look awesome.

[goku262002]

 

Kriby dun jacked X's Ride Armor, Thief!!

(Seriously look at the trailer it moves just like the Ride Armor)

[PC the Hedgehog]

Every time I can't imagine the Kirby series coming up with another amazing concept, HAL Labs always proves me wrong.

First it was the whole super moves in Return To Dream Land, then it was the super inhale from Triple Deluxe, and now Kirby fighting an army of robots in a mech that can also copy enemy abilities. Those guys have become masters of their craft. Hard to believe ten years ago we were getting uninspired snoozefests like Squeak Squad. Kirby has been on FIRE in recent years.

[StaticMania]

If Squeak Squad was the only bland game between 2003 and 2010, I really don't think that Kirby has been doing that badly overall. 

 

It's been doing near consistently decent games.

[Dantemustdie00]

This was the highlight of the Direct for me.

[Salamander]

Looks absolutely excellent.  The Kirby mech also being able to copy powers pushed the concept into the realms of brilliance.  Mechanical themes are relatively underutilised in Kirby, to my knowledge, so this is a good chance to give pretty much everything a new look, judging from the mechanically-enhanced regular foes in the trailer.  Definitely the highlight of the Direct; in fact, this is the sort of thing people watch Nintendo Directs for, top-quality franchise titles being announced completely out of the blue mere months before release.

[DiamondX]

Pokemon Sun & Moon and now this...Yep, im buying an 3ds!

[TCB]

Ever since (IMO) Epic Yarn they managed to add or put a spin on the formula that makes each adventure enjoyable without breaking the base too far. This is looking to be one of those times. I'm more happy that from RtDL, Triole Deluxe and now this it's the triple header of Kirby excellence. 

Since it's also the norm at this point, what tracks you think will come back to get the traditional remix? I'm hoping that Moonlight Blossom gets in for sure, it was pleasantly surprising to get CROWNED in Rainbow Curse. I'm also kinda thinking we may get Canvas Curse and overall more Triple Deluxe rep for this. It's a near no brainier were gonna get some classic Dream Land 1-3 musical rep, but it would be a little great to hear some tunes from Tilt and Rumble, Avalanche and Pinball.

[Celestia]

So we've got some new details through Nintendo's website. Among the confirmed new copy abilities (so far being Doctor, ESP (psychic powers!), and Poison), the Smash Bros.-based copy ability from Amazing Mirror is coming back! Also there's a Meta Knight mode ala Nightmare in Dream Land. Good stuff.

Oh and the bad guys are apparently called the Haltmann Works Company and they want to mechanize the world for whatever reason. [insert Sonic joke here]

[Sean]

I'm disappointed that this isn't on the Wii U and the UFO is locked behind an amiibo. Rainbow Curse was actually a pretty massive disappointment for me (and Canvas Curse is one of my favorite Kirby games), so it's a shame that that's looking to be the only Wii U Kirby game.

Otherwise, I'll be sure to buy this. Triple Deluxe was a good game, and I thought it was even better than Return to Dream Land due to its tighter level design.
