Topic: Kirby: Battle Royale

Last but certainly not least, a new multiplayer* action game in the Kirby series is coming to Nintendo 3DS this holiday season. More information will be revealed about this game in the future.

thoughts?

I expect this will be a Mario-Party style game, but I am prepared to be surprised.

Kirby: Super . . Star Heroes

In Team Kirby Clash Deluxe there's been a lot of hints and imagery of Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, lots of people think this might be a sequel!

Kirby and the Amazing 3D Mirror… that was my guess.

I always wonderer why they decided to ditch Multiplayer on portable Kirby Games after The Amazing Mirror. Picking up this new title for sure.

Ahhhhh ... when I saw "multi-player" I assumed that meant party games of some kind. I was not imagining a multi-player cooperative adventure game. That would be much more to my taste actually!

Anyone cast their vote for their favorite copy ability? Mine's Wing.

Water is the best!

yeah I voted water. Would've gone hammer but it's already in there. Water surfing is fun

I voted for poison. I loved that ability in Planet Robobot

I went with Ice! It's got everything I want in a versatile moveset!

But just so you guys know, you can vote once per day! 8D

Played the demo today...I am not impressed! First, there's no 3D (All the latest Nintendo games on the 3DS seem to be without 3D, since Nintendo probably wants to sell 2DS systems). Second, its just a small mini-game collection (10 mini-games). And I am supposed to buy it at Retail, full price? Really?! Should just be a 5 Euro download. This looks like a huugge pass!

@Henmii I'd say this is more of a fighting game in the vein of Power Stone than a mini-game collection. And like all fighting games you either enjoy the core gameplay enough to practice and get better at it or you don't. In the latter case, no amount of modes will keep you playing for long, merely delaying the inevitability of it being sold or only being pulled out for groups of people who DO enjoy it.

Even as a "mini-game collection", the value is significantly increased by featuring online multiplayer, something that is lacking in most other similar titles on the 3DS, like Mario Party.

No 3D is annoying to me but I'll let it slide. Might pick this up when it goes on sale.

Wow I was thinking this game will be a modified 2D fighting game they had earlier.
Now I'm interested!
I guess I'll wait for a sale and pick it up since there are "more important" titles

@Dev I am very much the same way. I'm more concerned because I was planning on buying this for my birthday (Feb 2) but I'm not sure if I want to wait for it t drop in price or buy it anyway. It's an agonizing decision for me since kirby is my all time favorite franchise

So, isn't it supremely ironic that we've just faced off against Haltmann Works, a super high-tech corporation known for using cloning technology requiring genetic samples and often resulting in incomplete or imperfect specimens... and then Dedede just straight up makes a better cloning machine (albeit only of Kirbys) capable of true copies like it ain't no thing.

So far there's only one review on Metacritic and its a 6. I know it isn't out in America yet, but there should be more European reviews I guess. Probably a sign that it stinks. I think I'll wait till I have read more reviews.

Could care less about reviews from Metacritic. Or reviews period. I play games for the fun of it.
