Can't beat 64.

@Octane Super Man 64?

That's cool to have a release date locked in.

But at the same time this announcement confirms BotW 2 won't release until the end of 2022.

Wow.

That trailer...

Dude. It made me really hyped for it. I'm much more hyped for this than I am for Legends Arceus.

Before this trailer, I was just like "Ya alright, a 3d Kirby platformer" But now, I'm hyped!

It's 3D World but with Kirby, that's fine.

I retract all of my previous qualms with this game, it looks like everything I was hoping for now. Give it to me please and thank you.

I'm still not convinced yet that this won't just be another trainwreck like Star Allies.

Why did people hate star Allies so much? was it because it was to easy or was it the Allies part? I never played it, but kirby games or normally easy no?

@Snatcher I think folks complained Allies lacked complexity. It's pretty and it plays well, but it's boring.

@Magician Ah ok, Now that makes more sense, I know kirby is meant to be easy and all but at least Epic yarn had something going on. (BTW one of my favorite games of all time) I would love a hard mode!

That seems about right. I do wish it was really out there and bold for the breakthrough 3D Kirby game, but I assume it will largely be really good for the same way most Kirby games are. Like Triple Deluxe was fairly unimaginative a Kirby game on a surface level, but it ended up being one of my favorite Kirby games, and this certainly seems more creative than that did in trailers.

@Snatcher Well, for me, I beat the game in 3 days while playing casually, and the game barely offered anything outside of the main story at launch, so I paid Nintendo 60 dollars for an incomplete game that had to have it's content updated into it.

I'm surprised how good Kirby's transition to 3D was.
The game looks really good and it makes me feel like it was always meant to be this way.
I find it surprising that it took this long to get a 3D kirby game.

@VoidofLight From what I heard so far, SA is overpriced.

Kirby valiantly served us 2D platformers for the last 30 years.

But technology has advanced enough that even handheld Kirby is finally stepping into 3D. And given the mediocre reception of Star Allies, I'd sat it was the right call (although I'd still love a Planet Robobot sequel some day).

Switch is not only the best system Nintendo has ever released, it's library consistently boasts games best in series, or at the very least among the best in series. It's nice actually being excited for a Kirby game for a change.

@JaxonH Well I would argue that Kirby could've been made the leap to 3D decades ago, I guess they chose to do it now since the devs are confident to do it now since other games in the series like Planet Robobot, Kirby Air Ride, etc. set the blueprint for a fully fledged 3D game. As well as to freshen things up within the series.

I definitely agree with the latter statement of your comment; the switch has been putting out great games since launch of a lot of series that people would consider their favorites if not the best like Monster Hunter, SMT, Metroid, Xenoblade, and many more.
Though my favorite Nintendo system remains to be the 3Ds.

@Snatcher It truly is.
