June 11 will see the release of the next Kirby game for Nintendo 3DS Planet Robobot, where robotic aliens have landed on Dreamland and have started to take over the world and it is up to Kirby to stop them.



By making use of his new Robobot Armour, Kirby can now explore Planet Popstar in brand new ways by moving scenery, accessing new areas, and uncovering secrets using its handy Wrench. By scanning enemies to copy their abilities, the Robobot can change the action in brand new ways. Analysing an enemy with the “Jet” Scan Spec will engage Jet Mode, allowing Kirby to fly across the screen shoot-‘em-up style, while the “Wheel” Scan Spec will turn Kirby’s Robobot Armour into a car that can race between the foreground and background.


Kirby can also make use of new Copy Abilities, some of which will be familiar to avid players of the Super Smash Bros. series. Swallowing certain enemies will allow Kirby to use pills and clipboards as part of his arsenal as “Doctor” Kirby, whilst the “ESP” ability unleashes the power of Kirby’s mind. Additionally, other Copy Abilities can be awarded once a level via any currently available amiibo, often bestowing Kirby with an ability based on the character that was tapped. For instance, by scanning in the Kirby amiibo from the Super Smash Bros. Collection our pink hero can become “Smash Bros.” Kirby, able to unleash the attacks that make him such a formidable fighter.

If you want, you can also purchase the game with the all new Kirby amiibo, the first in a four figure series of amiibo based on classic Kirby characters like MetaKnight, King Dedede and Waddle-Dee.


Get ready to save the world when Kirby Planet Robobot releases this Saturday June 11 for Nintendo 3DS
