Kirby: Planet Robobot (Hopefully Not Zip Lash)

Yes! Love me a bit of Kirby. It looks like this will be in the vein of 'experimental' Kirby rather than 'traditional' Kirby, which is no bad thing. The former usually add the 'mental' to 'experimental', so I'm well up for this. And the release date is precious close to my birthday... hmmm.

More amiibo, though?

KIRBY MECH GAME! KIRBY MECH GAME! KIRBY MECH GAME!

Yeah, that's me sold. Nice.

I think this'll be much more traditional than you think, Zero - bar the mechs, most of it is stripped straight from Triple Deluxe, including the art style and the background stars. And K3D was as traditional Kirby as they come. Which suggests that the mechs will be confined to specific level parts, like Hypernova was.

I might pick this up, therefore, but I'm not especially hyped.

It looks nice, I may pick it up as I do like Kirby also seeing a Kirby game this late in a systems life normally spells it's coming to a end but the 3DS looks live and well from that direct and what we know is coming.

Winner.

They called it Robobot. Even though the word it robot and Robo and bot are substrings of robot, they called it Robobot. Because they knew it was both deliberately dumb and a bit funny.

If this doesn't get 10s across the board, I don't want to live on this planet any more.

You know, I'm kinda up for this. I've not played a Kirby game in bloody ages, and this looked pretty fun! Kirby's always at least decent, so I may end up checking this out.

There's something comforting, almost, about Kirby games. They're like an old jumper that you've had for ages and can't bear to throw away: not perfect, not new, but cool, in a way. It's a day one for me.

This shold be a safe bet for being the best Nintendo game of the first half of 2016. Triple Deluxe isn't just a genuinely brilliant Kirby game, but a genuinely brilliant game in it's own right. The Kirby games have been quality for almost a decade now (everything following from the humdrum Squeak Squad on DS, anyway) and I think this looks similarly great. Triple Deluxe gives me every confidence that it'll feel great too.

Best thing about this is the Waddle Dee amiibo.

I need it

New video. Featuring Ness and evil fountain abilities.

This video has inspired a fluttering of excitement within my breast. I can get behind some mecha-Kirby action.

Saw on the Japanese eshop today it's out on the 28th.. I probably won't get it until I'm in Japan but I should finish triple delux before I do

If it weren't for the Dragon Quests, that video would have pushed Planet Robobot to the top of my most wanted list for 3DS. It looks really exciting, bright, adventurous and Nintendo.

This is getting weirder (in a good way) every time I see it. Is Kirby the new Wario? #hottake

Hopefully not the new Zip lash? As in not a big disappointment?

I love how supercharged this looks, and the extra minigames are pretty interesting (the 3D puzzle arena game is like a cancelled Kirby game I forgot the name of).

If I hadn't played Triple Deluxe in January I'd pick this up soonish.

3DS owners, rejoice! Not everything is awful.

Sounds like a sizeable improvement on an already good game. Last 3DS game I played like that was Bravely Second.

Kirby is always served with a big dollop of charm and Robobobobobot looks like no exception. Can't wait to get my mitts on this and pilot a Kirmech

DIGRESSION ALERT: The Frog?

into Whispy Woods's face.

I'm not excessively hyped, but I'm confident I'm gonna love this when I have it in my hands.

Bought/pre-ordered/whatever.  Up for some Kirbybot action.  I've had a very good 3DS year thus far, hoping it continues here.

Might slam a cheeky pre-order of my own in shortly. All the reviews I've read so far describe it as a solid Kirby game and that's what I need right now, I reckon.

Think I'll do the same, to be honest. I've been playing a lot of heavy games recently - with the exception of Ratchet and Clank - so something a bit light-hearted would suit me nicely.

Here's my report following the first level: it's classic Kirby, as Balla rightly predicted some months ago. That's no bad thing, though, as Cappa mentioned. In short, I have nothing of my own to add.

Oh damn, completely missed this was out! I'll pick it up soon, probably not until after Fire Emblem though

I'm hoping enough of us have it at the Meetup In Summer Time (nine days! ) to have a crack at the Kirby RPG thing. The main story mode comes recommended, too.
