Kirby Thread - Eating Is Good

that's not exactly confirmed
just assumptions that are being made
 
Triple whammy of info for Triple Deluxe (WARNING: MULTIPLE LARGE IMAGES). For one thing, that title is indeed the one to be used for the US version of the game...

Second, a new Bell-themed ability has been confirmed...

And finally, both Dedede and Kracko are returning!

New gameplay footage of Triple Deluxe has appeared! In it, Dedede shows up in a musical minigame, and Big Bang Kirby eats trees and Waddle Trains.

The latest Nintendo Direct has confirmed a few new things for Trple Deluxe, including the official name of the Big Bang ability in the West: Hyper Nova. There's also 2 new abilities, which appear to be Circus Kirby and Archer/Bow Kirby. Plus, the return of Wheel (complete with jumping ability), Stone, Leaf, Spear, Whip, Spark, and Parasol. Even shows off 2 minigames: Kirby Fighters, a 4-player Smash-esque copy-ability-only fighting game that takes place across various stages from the games (I spotted Dedede's ring from Super Star, Lololo and Lalala's boss arena from Dream Land/Super Star, and Another Dimension from Return to Dream Land.) The second is Dedede's Drum Dash, the rhythm minigame we saw earlier.
 
A new trailer came out on Christmas Eve. It confirmed several things:

  • All of the abilities for both Kirby Fighters and the main game (no Fighters-exclusive abilities, though)
  • The return of the Arena
  • For the first time ever, Dedede can be played as in singleplayer
  • Squeak Squad-style environment manipulation
  • A new mechanic for Kirby Fighters (after dying, you become Ghost Kirby; smack someone in the back while you're a ghost to revive with low health)
  • 1 new arena for Kirby Fighters (Bubbly Clouds from Dream Land/Super Star)
  • Collectible in-game keychains made of classic Kirby sprites (I spotted Squeak Squad's Magic ability and several different Super Star sprites)
  • 2 new bosses and changes to returning ones (a snake thing that can shoot flaming rocks out of its mouth; a painter witch who is NOT Drawcia, but can obscure the screen with paint; there's a hopped-up flowery star-leafed version of Whispy Woods that can JUMP; and Kracko's fight looks like it will use background-foreground switching frequently as he has what would otherwise be considered a screen-filler attack)
Here's the video:

can't wait to zone the shit out of people as archer kirby
 
archer kirby eh?
RIP angel kirby
 
So wait, hold up.
Did they ever confirm if Kirby Fighters had Wi-fi/Nintendo Network, or is it local only?
It's probably local only. Dunno for sure, though.

Also, some story tidbits and screenshots (WARNING: Names are likely to change, as these are the Japanese names):

  • King Dedede's been kidnapped by the evil Taranza, this game's antagonist.
  • Kirby gives chase by climbing the "World Tree," which looks like a giant beanstalk. (But where's the giant snake-taunting squirrel?)
  • His rescue attempt leads him to the floating world of Floarald, which is probably where most of the game takes place.

Welp, Kirby Triple Deluxe is out in Japan, and already we've got a video of someone going through the bosses. There appears to be a a new returning boss as well. Here's a hint: It's another final boss from Super Star Ultra.

Can someone tell em what Kirby Fighters is? I'm a little lost. Also, Kirby's Return to Dreamland was really fun. Fighting all the bosses using Waddle Dee was super fun.
 
still waiting for Shinichi Shimomura to direct another kirby game
(it'll never happen again ;__;)

Kirby Fighters is a minigame for Triple Deluxe which is essentially Kirby: the Fighting Game.
 
Oh. If they give make shit wifi multiplayer I'll be in heaven. MAKE IT HAPPEN, NINTENDO! And Daisy in SSB4 too!
 
everytime someone tells me a game can't be both easy and fun, I bitchslap them with a kirby game.
And don't tell me Kirby isn't fucking hard either.
Come back after the True Arena and tell me that game franchise can't be balls hard.

Epic Yarn is my chief glove for said bitchslapping. Never have I been so chill while playing a game.

There's worse in the Kirby series. In the first one, you could set it so that getting hit once forces you to start from the beginning again.
 
Also, the Dedede singleplayer mode is apparently the EX mode equivalent, and has a new final boss. HINT: Galacta Knight before there was Galacta Knight.
