Kirby has always been extremely malleable, both as a character and as a series, and while many of his games have been fairly unconventional and experimental, it's the classic, power-swapping platformer template that the character is most well known for. 2014's Kirby: Triple Deluxe represented the latest entry in the classic series, and while some may have knocked it for being a bit derivative of its predecessors, it was nonetheless a wonderful experience for fans of classic Kirby.
Kirby: Planet Robobot – the follow-up to Triple Deluxe – is only a couple months away from release now, and it looks like it'll be delivering another great Kirby adventure. The new robot mechanic looks pretty cool, too, and it should hopefully add another wrinkle to the combat and puzzles. To show off more of this game, Nintendo of Japan recently released a fairly lengthy overview video, showcasing the main campaign, side games, and amiibo functionality. Check it out:

I know Kirby is extremely formulaic but I love it. Can't wait for this.
Also, I'd love a Mass Attack 2!
I can't wait to get this game! It looks like it'll be fun!
I do hope 100% completion is improved compared to triple deluxe.
I'm so stoked for this, I absolutely love Kirby games! Never got around to playing Mass Attack, but I hope it comes to the VC soon.
Hot pink Mecha Kirby - YASS!
i am the fan of this post, thanks for sharing it with us
I loved Triple Deluxe, and this looks like a great sequel!
Finally! Much more information on the game this time around! Now that's the kind of information I need!
The new powers of Esper and Poison look amazing! And I actually think Ness was used as inspiration for the power - which leads me to think (and hope) that the Ness amiibo is the one that gives Kirby the power when it's tapped. 'Cause then it'll be easy access for me~ Me thinks that the Inkling Amiibo are the ones that might grant poison. But we'll just have to wait and see, I guess.
Still, that was an awesome video! Now I'm satisfied!
Like Kirby this seems like a good game to get
I'm so excited!
I am looking forward to this game
This game is looking all kinds of awesome. Kirby + Mechs = 😍
C'mon...why isn't it June already!?
Mirror Kirby was back that is all that matters!!!!!
This looks so good. Triple Deluxe's OP gimmick was the Hypernova ability. This game's OP gimmick is the robot suits. This looks more fun than Triple Deluxe.
"Robobutt"
Looks fun, but I'd rather him ride on his animal friends!! Why have they been forgotten and replaced with robots?
I'll be getting this
Yup, Triple Deluxe Deluxe with Robots is what I'll call this, looking good!

I am way happier about this than I should be. But mirror should have come back a LONG time ago. Also super happy that jet is back too!
This game is looking great! Good to see that they're using that scrapped 3D Kirby concept from RtDL's development for a minigame. Always wanted to see how that would play...
@Philo I thought I was the only one who cared. I'm also excited for Jet Kirby as well👌
@HyrulianOfHyrule
Haha nope, you're not alone there! I get really geeky about Kirby, especially the abilities. Almost as important to me as what characters get into Smash. Each ability pretty much plays like a different character, after all.
I couldn't understand what the guy was saying, but Backwards-hat Psychic Kirby should just be called Ness Kirby. I'll be skipping it for now because of Monster Hunter Generations, Pokken Tournament, Pokemon Sun and Moon and Zelda U if it ever releases, but maybe I'll pick it up later on.
I've never bought a Kirby game. But this one has my attention. Reminds me of the mechs from Captain Commando.
Always had a soft spot for Kirby games. So I will be picking this up when it hits the U.S.
Very nice video. This will be sweet!
