![10 INSANE Secrets You MISSED in Kirby and the Forgotten Land! [Exploring the Lab/Unlimited Crash!]](/img/n.gif)
Can't wait to find out Tom Holland is voicing Kirby in the new game.
This comment is about to blow up Lol lol
Would be better than Chris Pratt Mario
John Goodman as King Dedede
Yesss
Seth McFarlane as Haltmann
About the fact that the setting is surprising for the first 3D Kirby. I think they're probably using the same mindset they had for Triple Deluxe where the director basically said to his team to not design the game as if it's the first game on 3DS. But instead to imagine that they arleady made a game with the standard grass, desert and lava themes and to make the game as if it's a sequel to that nonexistent game to make it more interesting. And it worked, the world themes were much different than anything you would find in New Super Mario Bros.
And I think that's what they're going for here too. They're acting as if they arleady made a 3D Kirby before and this is the sequel to this nonexistent game.
That's actually a really cool mindset to have not only in kirby games, but games in general! Makes you try to think more creatively
Tripple deluxe go so many different places that i already love. And then planet Robobot finds a way to be even more creative.
This did make a 3D Kirby before, it's called Air Ride ;)
@@reddodeado301 racing game, doesn’t count
Can you imagine how many cool and creative worlds we might have gotten if New Super Mario Bros had used the same design philosophy?
Kirby is the type of character who can walk through a candy land crossing over into hell- then wrap back around into a post-apocalypse earth without it suspending too much disbelief, honestly.
Kirby: fights cosmic gods when hangry
@@bubbaderp21cringeinitiatio6Marx did what he did because he was hungry
I don’t need this to be “open-world” I’m just glad Kirby had a 3-D platformer
I'm looking forward to all the dark and depressing lore that will come with this beautiful game.
The final boss could unironically be Satan and no one would be surprised
Kirby did the succ on the entire human race.
@@aguy4887 I mean void termina was pretty close, zero is even closer to that. Maybe it's all the souls of the lost in that city.
@@ChrisLeeW00 Shiver Star was already dead when he arrived
Kirby kills Cthulhu after his nap gets interrupted
Arlo doesn’t realize how normal this apocalypse stuff is for Kirby 😂
Just wait until he sees the final boss. Side note though, it's also possible that he does know about the creepy lore stuff, and just wasn't expecting a post apocalyptic city to be the setting of the first 3d Kirby game. Hell even I thought it was just gonna be standard grassy planes.
Yeah, on a planet that gets threatened by some cosmic horror on a weekly basis, of course humans wouldn't be able to survive.
shiverstar already exists so
I was exactly thinking this
Final bosses have been over the top since the NES days! From the evil phantom wizard known as Nightmare, to backstabbers like Marx, who hid a monstrous form until the final battle, to parasitic entities, like 0-2, who took control of the queen of Ripple Star!
This is the first time in years a Kirby game catches my attention, I was sold the first time I watched the trailer
5 years since planet robobot :(
This is also the first time in years a Kirby game has happened
I was not ot don't for Kirby style and look to easy
Same
I think the last Kirby game I enjoyed was Robobot, and even with that one there were flaws plaguing my overall experience.
I always found it strange that Kirby fans would boast of their series' quality... I can't be the only one who thought of the 3DS game Kirby Clash Deluxe as a lazy cash grab.
Can't wait for this bold new direction Naughty Dog is taking for The Last of Us Part III. They're really trying to address the issues people had with the last game, especially the tone.
I just wonder why they keep holding on to the Jak and Daxter IP if they're not really going to do anything with it, re-releases that work and play worse than the original don't count as doing anything with the IP.
@@AltName7 I lookin forward to Dino Gunther
@@FluffyBunniesOnFire Who could forget Meta Knight's shocking betrayal? Or King Dedede's abdication of the thrown in his pursuit of redemption? Kirby and Ellie have much to deal with: the infected, Wispy Woods, and an insatiable appetite...
Good one.
As long as they don't pull some dumb shit such as a stray waddle dee coming out of nowhere and killing Meta Knight and forcing us to play as that waddle dee for another 20 hours.
As a person who has played basically every kirby game so far, this does put a smile on my face
Kirby is such an awesome charcter. He can do 2D, 3D, yarn, robots, anything! Planet Robobot was a fresh new idea and now we have this idea of an apocalyse. Kind of like Shiver Star... I love all these tech themes! ^_^
Which was your favorite? Only Kirby i haven’t played is kirby 64 and it’s coming to switch so that’s cool
Kirby is one of my favorite Nintendo franchises. Return to DreamLand is my favorite in the series and Nintendo is finally giving us the game us fans have been waiting for!
@@key81885 I like Planet Robobot and Dreamland 2 the most. Most underrated is Mass Attack. It was adorable. Kirby 64 is 2.5D so it is halfway to 3D and it also has a ruined mall area. So you will get to see both soon! ^_^
I havent played any and it still puts a smile on mine. Game looks promising :D
It's been a long time since a Kirby game sucked me in just by the trailer, this one did the job to a stellar degree. You could say I'm tickled pink.
God DAMMIT, take my like you terrible, wonderful human being.
Nice pun
The tickled pink pun was icing on the cake.
I wish I had the ABILITY to COPY such puns
@@finnmarr-heenan2397 oh no! someone get the PINK BALL that rolled into the street!
… I really hope everyone slows their roll on the whole open world speculation, from the looks of the info on Nintendo’s website, it mentions Kirby going through “3D stages” so it might be more like Mario 3D world level design wise?
Honestly, I’ll take it! After star allies a brand new kind of Kirby game like this feels so dang refreshing…
Exactly.
You can see from this trailer that there is always a clear, linear parthway surrounded by pretty backgrounds that SUGGEST “openness” but restrict it.
@@JazGalaxy This, exactly. The paths are CLEARLY defined and straightforward. I can't fathom this is sandbox or open world. It's 3D World/Sackboy A Big Adventure sort of thing.
@@JazGalaxy yeah! And honestly that’s not really bad. Kirby has to gain a footing on a 3D space in some way, and this seems like the safest way for Hal while also being satisfying for us! Or at least that’s what I think.
I’d love a big game like everything thinks this would be, but I’d rather they don’t take a big experimental risk on their first mainline 3D title.
it's not 2D, It's 3D and it's not Breath of the Kirbs Odyssey 😑.
Im happy that people and myself are happy about Kirby going 3D I just don't want to hear another stupid reviewer and yes even beloved Arlo saying "It's Gonna be Breath of the Odyssey". This is HAL guys. They've been nervous about 3D Kirby plenty of times. I want them to work their way through this and I'll support their change.
@Joel Johnson that's the name you should know✨💫🎶🎵
I think Arlo's going to be really disappointed later when he realizes it absolutely is like Super Mario 3D World and doesn't have free roaming. The trailer definitely looks to me like each shot has very defined boundaries and a single path to travel. Even if it doesn't actually have a world map, I feel pretty confident it's going to play a lot more like 3D World than Arlo wants.
Absolutely agree with this!
Just one look tells me it's very similar to 3D World.
I find it hard to believe it's just one continuous world
I'm guessing it's going to play a little more like Galaxy, just because we already know there is an overarching premise which ties the levels together. It definitely looks like a Kirby game though, with simpler platforming and an emphasis on his Copy Ability. Still can't wait to play it!
I agree!And honestly?I don't care!I think this is the first path to kirby enter in tbe world of 3d games and it looks great!
Still kinda looks a little bigger in scope than 3D World though. Maybe more like Galaxy or Bowser’s Fury
@@rhettmitchell Except Bowser's Fury is the furthest from that format. It's completely open world. Galaxy is course based with some freedom and 3D World is straight linear courses. It doesn't look more open than 3D World from the trailer, it's just the visuals for the background make the boundaries less obvious, I think.
I like that this stays true to Kirby's bright, cheery style while branching out in new conceptual directions _in addition_ to the third dimension.
I actually wouldn't have minded if they took it up a notch in overall tone/storytelling, but all things considered what we got is damn near a miracle already.
@@SweaterSwagg People don't play Kirby for the story. The plot for virtually all of modern mainline Kirby follows the same structure.
Evil threatens an element of Kirby's life.
Kirby embarks on an adventure to stop said evil.
Evil is revealed to be associated with a greater evil, which is associated with an even greater evil, but using the magical power-ups or collectibles found along the way, Kirby manages to defeat greater greater evil, thus saving planet popstar.
@@graceli1903 Just because people don't that doesn't mean people wouldn't.
@@SweaterSwagg I mean
First: marios storyteilling is much more basic!
Second: A lot of people joke about how kirby is similar to draksouls but it is true atleast when it comes to how Story is presented! in each kirby fame since triple deluxe all Bosses, abilitys and characters have Descriptions on the Pause screen! They start simple in the story mode but in the "extra" mode/Heroes in another dimension/ True arena they get more specific!
There is actually a lot of lore and in Robobot and triple D there are some really sad Storys Told through the descriptions!
If you dont want to look them up yourself Go to the channel metorz to watch it more easy!
@@graceli1903 No actually for a lot of kirby fans the story is a big reason why they play it!
Try and scroll a bit in this posts answers i explain how Lore/ Story works in Kirby here!
“Star allies didn’t further the series in any notable way.”
Kirby lore aficionados and theorists: “that’s where I beg to differ.”
haha, Ancients go brrt
Kirby VS debaters would like to agree
That's what's weird about Star Allies it's mostly one of the blandest Kirby's but at the same time it changed the series story and this new game could open a whole new can of worms
That's the one good part about Star Allies, ngl
But that isn’t notable for the series as a whole. Purely for the lore which basically only hardcore Kirby fans care about and that won’t change anything.
The game does seem to have more linear design since you can kind of clearly tell where you can and can't go, but they go about that in an organic way compared to, say, Super Mario 3D World. And if it is more linear and not more of a sandbox, that's about what I expected anyways. Still stoked
3:40 Thing is... they’ve been doing those small steps you’re describing. Like, since 2000... the cancelled Kirby GCN, Air Ride, 3D Rumble/Blowout Blast, Battle Royale, and Star Allies’ final boss have been HAL experimenting with the idea so they can get it just right.
I'm pretty sure this is going to be played in a "3D World" style, not interconnected areas sadly. The Waddle Dee cages look almost like a "Level End". Every bit that we've seen shows Kirby on a path of some sort, in many of them it's a hallway, or just an elevated bit of ground with water on each side. Could just be very big levels.
Of course I could also be completely wrong and it's big areas connected via warpstars, which I'm extremely on board for.
This, 100%. I actually don't understand why anyone thinks differently. Every area has completely defined, linear pathways. Water, fences, mountainous patches of rock, buildings/walls all frame the paths.
@@DeltathRiylaan but it's the vibes. It's not just a 3d style sidescroller, it is a full 3d game, just with a vague path. I mean come on, I couldn't fathom a more open world type game working for kirby
@@ari638 I'm not complaining at all, just state something I'm observing. Arlo thinks this is will be like Breath of the Wild or Bowser's Fury or even Super Mario Odyssey, but it just isn't.
@@DeltathRiylaan yeah that's fair, I didn't get that he thought that from the video, I reckon he spotted the path restrictions too, but yeah you're right it's not gonna be like botw
Yeah, now that you mentioned it, I'm getting some strong Kirby 64 vibes from the look of the game, which isn't a bad thing by any means.
I'm really happy that it seems like they're taking a leap into 3D rather than just a step. I'm so excited for this game!
And it seems like they'll be linear levels like Mario 3D World or maybe something like Bowser's Fury, but I think that works really well for Kirby gameplay.
Never played Kirby but seeing such in 3D gives me immediate SM Odyssey vibes which has piqued my interest.
@@metalgear- yeah, and I have this hunch that they are actually using a fork of Odyssey's engine, because of some sort of visual quirk I can't quite place.
(and yes, I'm excited from a gameplay first and foremost; it just happens to give me Odyssey vibes in more than just the spirit of it)
They dipped their toes into the concept with smaller games like Blowout Blast and Battle Royale, so 3D Kirby isn’t _entirely_ new. But it looks like they’re going _all out_ with this one.
I've enjoyed that the Switch has become all about letting old IPs trying to make new steps forward. Makes me really excited to see how MP4 will do
Kirby had rocky transition into 3D
"I can believe it's in a post apocalyptic world"
If you didn't out right say you don't play Kirby games, that would be the clue you didn't. Remember, in the universe of Kirby, Earth has gone through nuclear winter.
...I don't remember that ever being mentioned in any Kirby game. I've played all of the main line ones, and it's never mentioned that. If it was on that dumb retconning forum, how would you expect anyone to know that? The games also don't give off that vibe, so yes, the concept of a post apocalyptic setting in Kirby is very surprising.
@@agreedboarart3188 I (and probably most people) didn't notice it at first, but Shiver Star in Kirby 64 is almost certainly meant to be Earth. It's not just an obscure fan theory, it's more or less undeniable if you take a look at its continent geography in the world select screen (but yes, much has indeed been written about it on the internet too if you don't have the means to boot that game up). That's likely what this comment, and many others on the video, are alluding to - it incidentally takes place during an ice age, has Kirby wandering through an abandoned mall and city, and features a giant robot as its boss.
@@agreedboarart3188 It's a one time thing that happens in one game that you probably missed.
And even if you did play 64, it's very possible that you could have missed it there as well.
It feels more like an easter egg than an actual element of the setting because it's rarely brought up.
This is only common knowledge within the Kirby community, and only because it keeps getting thrown around to show off how "dark" Kirby is. It's not something that games past Kirby 64 reference, and it's somewhat speculative as-is, so don't act like it's a big deal.
@@syweb2 There is a human world sign on the world select tho!
“Who woulda thought a post apocalyptic setting for Kirby”
Arlo should check out Kirby 64
And, unrelatedly, Planet Robobot like he said
Is it really unrelated though
Shiver Star walked so Forgotten Land could run
4:55 so...who's gonna tell him about the countless hellspawns, nightmare-inducing, blood-spewing, planet-destroying, creepy, smily..."things" that are the final bosses, not to mention Shiver Star
Yeah wait till he sees all that
Maybe we should leave those as a surprise so it's that much more terrifying when he encounters one ;)
@@KyogresHideout_Vegito2121 Is there any chance that he has a side channel where he does gameplay videos, cause I would love to see his reaction to that stuff.
@@magic2546 He does have his Arlo Plays channel but he hasn't uploaded anything there in over a year. But who knows maybe these games will get him to revive the channel.
Nightmare inducing? That's a stretch.
Only thing in the entire franchise that legitimately spooked me was the bad ending of dreamland 2, and that game came out like 20 years ago. Maybe if you're a kid you might get jump-scared by Hyness's face reveal, but I'm a teenager, so I wouldn't know.
Blood spewing? That literally only applies to zero/zero two, and with the graphics of those games the blood could easily be mistaken for ketchup.
Arlo, you weren't wrong about them taking steps before diving into a full 3D game. They've been doing that for the past few years, this game was a natural progression of where things were already heading. First we had Kirby Blow Out Blast which remixed the classic formula in 3D, no copy abilities. Then we had Battle Royal which had the copy abilities in 3D. Both games were 3D, but they were more or less minigame tech demos. Star allies had a 3D boss fight AND a 3D hub world. When you put all of this together, this game was clearly their end goal with all of these experiments and tests.
Even then though, we hadn't gotten a proper 3D Kirby adventure. If we got a classic Kirby game that just so happened to be in 3D, we all would've loved it, but no, they went the extra mile and decided on this incredible post-apocalyptic setting. 3D is already a big step for Kirby, and they decided to put him in completely new territory as well instead of playing it safe. That's awesome.
Yeah I dunno. It’s not “Mario 64” 3D, it’s “Crash Bandicoot” 3D. It’s not reeeeally free roaming. It’s 3D on a set path. There’s not a single shot with camera control in the whole trailer. It’s weird Arlo didn’t address or even notice that.
@@Nope2479 But other than Crash, it actually manages to look open
@@geschnitztekiste4111 I’d compare the camera angles in this to some specific parts in Crash 4 where they decided to get a little more cinematic
@@clink3582 Also I feel like Arlo and casual kirby fans entirely miss the fact that: Post apocalyptical is *generic* for the kirby franchise. I don't even play that many games in this franchise and I can't tell you single thing from that trailer either mechanically or aesthetically that I haven't seen from this franchise in one shape or another in past games.
Don't get me wrong it looks great for the first 3D roaming kirby game but even without those premetive tech experiments this isn't nearly as bold a direction for the franchise as Arlo thinks it is.
They said Star Allies was an "end" to an era of Kirby, and the game after was going to be something different. With that I KNEW a 3D Kirby was in the works...But even then I felt so shocked to actually see it.
“I thought it’d just be the hills and the green greens.”
...I’m gonna assume you’re basing that off of Smash’s stage list, but as many have probably pointed out already... most Kirby games have had both interesting locals (like the ghost houses, Rhythm Route, space) and fun twists on old ones.
Anyway, it’s super cool to see you excited for a Kirby game!
Honestly a lot of areas in Kirby kinda blur together. "Green greens" isn't in every game... But it may as well be.
But no matter how different from the norm this game is, whispy woods is in the game.
@@BlaizeTheDragon They really don't. The stock locations blend together if you look at them from each game side by side, sure, but every game has very diverse locations.
@@BlaizeTheDragon I agree somewhat. From _Flower Fields_ to _Cookie Country_ to _Vegetable Valley,_ most Kirby games seem to start in the same area, with slight variations.
Epic Yarn's first level skips the naming business and is literally just titled _Grass Land,_ but at the very least it didn't have another woods fight, so there are rare exceptions.
I feel like it's in the middle of Kirby games where they get unique? But even in those areas, you see that a lot of games seem to borrow inspiration from previous installments. It seems that every Kirby game starts in a grass-themed area fighting whispy woods, and then end up fighting a foreign entity by the end of the game in space using some super weapon they found along the way. When you really think about it, Kirby games are really predictable and formulaic in a way.
@@edcaous It doesn't help that the last few Kirby games have been _super_ self-congratulatory, relying a lot on callbacks to prior games (Robobot's big reveal was Nova, Star Allies was basically a Dark Matter/Kirby(?) origin story along with a bunch of other past-game fanservice, _so much reuse of old level music and aesthetics_ ). When was the last time a final boss had a fully-original theme, one that didn't incorporate Green Greens anywhere? _When was the last time a final boss wasn't trying to call back to another final boss?_
@@syweb2 I think you missed the fact that green greens is generally used as Kirbys theme nowadys!
sees the title: Fuck-yeah dude, it sure is.
Also, I just feel like it's hard to hate Kirby. Even if you never played any of the Kirby games or aren't that big a fan of them, you see Kirby, this baby void-god taken the form of bubblegum, and immediately go "I like him, he's friend-shaped, he seems very polite and nice".
“He’s friend shaped” made me lol really hard 😂 great descriptor for Kirby
Don’t you just want to Snuggle him?
just.. don’t steal his strawberry shortcake.
Kirby is like the least understandably hateable series in the world.
It's so consistently enjoyable with every entry being OK at worst or amazing at best.
And the series oozes good feels as well as having deceptively good story/lore.
It's too bad kirby's an over powered sociopath lmao
@@_-Lx-_ Clash deluxe is one that I'd consider much worse than "OK."
And I wouldn't say that Kirby has good story. Decent lore, perhaps, but the plot of most Kirby games tends to be insufferably predictable and formulaic.
Arlo, you SERIOUSLY need to play more Kirby games. Return to Dreamland, Triple Deluxe, Planet Robobot are the ones to play to understand what high-quality modern Kirby feels like. You can't say Kirby doesn't grab you when the only recent one you've played is Star Allies, the EASIEST game in an already easy series.
Star Allies is just bad.
@@RoboBlue2 I disagree. The game has its issues, and it's far from amazing, but it's not bad.
Don't forget Kirby Super Star Ultra!
@@Cheatscape bro super star ultra is a top tier kirby game.
he simply hates Kirby
Boy, I really hope there are not people going along the lines of "now Kirby it's good!" Always upsets me when something is perceived as better only because it switched to 3D.
Þo be fair, 2d isn't bad, but very basic and boring, 3d have more potential
The reason why some people thought that Star Allies sucked wasn't because it was 2D, it was because it relied too much on fanservice for it to be a good game to anyone who didn't care.
it upsets me when people call kirby a "stale" franchise because there's no 3d game.
I mean i think most people either didn't grow up playing side scrollers or are just tired of them. I mean for me it just kind of always feels like going back into the past when compared to like, a last of us or Spiderman. Not to say I don't still like them, I'm just less open to trying new games in that genre typically. We definitely ended up with way more of them then I expected when I first heard about the switch. I expected a ton of Mario Odyssey type huge ambitious games. Okay apparently Arlo literally made this exact point so this comment is irrelevant lmao
@@ratedr7845 Kirby is one half fighting game and every fighting game fan knows 2d Fighting games are generally less Basic than 3D Ones!
Honestly coming from a Kirby fan, a post-apocalyptic setting for a Kirby game isn't that surprising; although, I appreciate HAL continuing their trend of setting a vague theme for each kirby game, such as Triple Deluxe with it's natural theme, and Planet Robobot with it's futuristic theme.
Yeah a big reason for star allies being not tah öliked by fans was the missing theme! (eventho it made complete sense but yeah!)
@@Videospiel-Man5730 Star Allies is like my 3rd favorite Kirby game I wanna say.
It looks incredible. Can't wait to play with the KIRB
Where is the Y?
@@eldartaghiyev8422 he doesn’t need it
His official name is Kirbo.
Best show respect to Senpai Terminal Montage.
@@eldartaghiyev8422 He got rid of the Y and now uses the Z (axis)
@@PutthePCinmyHandsthe real name is Kirby not Kirbo.
Well Arlo: Kirby never really been basic stuff like grass, desert, ocean, sure some worlds are named those, but every Kirby game has done something unique. (Besides like dreamland 1,2,3) RTD has Factories, Kirby 64 has a ton of really good plays off of the generic themes, (I.E. the futuristic ruins in the deserts, shiver Star, dededes castle, etc.) triple deluxe takes place on a beanstalk. Enough said. Robobot is the peak of this idea. Everything is roboticized. The final world is platforming through a company headquarters. All the normal themes have been give amazing new flare, like blenders and forks as power lines in the desert world, a city world, waddle dees using robotic legs, etc. Star allies does rely on basic themes quite a lot, but it still has its share of uniqueness. Kirby Epic yarn? YARN! Treat Land! Future Land! Beanstalks, sports races, secret islands, etc. And don’t forget Amazing Mirror. Point is, Kirby games never do use the basic junk. Glad to see they are keeping up the trend. Hope this game is as amazing as it looks!
I wasn’t fond that Star Allies’ world themes are very much the same as Kirby Superstar’s, but felt worse overall: Grassland to Mt. Dedede with Whispy Woods in the middle, a huge landmass to the winged foe, infiltrating a ship and going from sector to sector until you get to the leader and destroy the place as you run away, jumping from planet to planet and defeat remixed bosses in order to reach the goal
The only two missing were Great Cave Offensive and Gourmet Race, but then again, Heroes of another dimension has you taking multiple areas to collect many collectibles unique to this mode, similar to Great Cave Offensive
I'm kinda against that. Kirby at the start is always basic stuff, the first world is always Grass, Greens and Green (hehe).
But it never feels like the same level, or the first world (like Green Hill or any 1-1 of any Mario in 2D) , the music is always diferent (with only slight motifs to the OG Green Greens). And it's always like that to put more enphasis on the new mechanic on the game that seriously changes how the game is played (SuperNova being able to change the scenery, Super Abilities destroying everything, Robobot being Robobot, etc, etc).
How simple Kirby is at the start untill it goes crazy af is why I, at least, love the franchise.
Thank you for knowing your stuff. I feel like a lot of people rag on classic Kirby without really understanding the games. Sure the majority of them play similar with similar concepts but each one has its own character. Arlo like to keep going back to Star Allies as being bland but I disagree strongly. I think if you just okayed through the main game, it was easy kids stuff. When you actually get into the challenging stuff, it starts to become a much more grown up game. I say that if you never unlocked Mage Sisters, you didn't really get too into the game.
@@Sir_Psych
I've haven't got the chance to play Star Allies. But just by looking at the quantity of Fan Service, Lore Retconning and mf KIRB of ALL things is what makes it more special.
I couldn't say it was a bad game untill I played it. But the a amount of things, and the game going from "yeah, Kirby game ez" to basically "Milky Way Wishes 2" is why I want to try it.
@@robertobrosful I say do it if you get the chance. If you're hesitant on it, just wait for a sale (though I think it was just on sale?). I felt it it was their swan song to 2D Kirby, including as much as they possibly could.
As someone who's played most Kirby games, this is my dream Kirby game and I can't wait to play it when it comes out next year.
@Joel Johnson Mario & Zelda got big games that changed up their series on year 1, but Pokémon & Kirby don't get anything like that until 5 years into the system's life. That is kinda bad.
I just love when game trailers show mostly gameplay. Shows they're confident in the product.
I'm looking forward to this one too. Kirby has always been chill and laid back fun
looking at you, *Bethesda.*
While the vibe is intriguing, I wouldn’t exactly say it’s surprising or unusual for Kirby. A bunch of games have a post apocalyptic vibe, particularly crystal shards literally has a post apocalypse earth in it. Beyond that Kirby lure is all extremely dark, this is honestly just par for the course for Kirby. (Still super excited about the game tho!!)
Yeah, there's a lot of stuff that make this feels like an organic progression.
From Shiver Star, to the Haltman Corp. This feels completely like what the Kirby franchise always wanted to explore.
i think the more interesting thing is the new enemies shown off, kirby has been playing it pretty safe with its character designs over the past few years but the crocodile, cobra, fox things & gorilla boss look straight out of the Dream Land 3/64 era of actually realistic, massive animals.
People like to say that kirby lore is "extremely dark" but let's be honest, it really isn't anything too extreme. the actual thing about it is that it's *surprisingly* dark for a series that looks like, well. kirby.
@@GKoopa Nah i have to disagree there Zan partizanne backstory is pretty dark and don’t even get me started on Haltmans backstory that shit is depressing
@@GKoopa Nah, Kirby is just dark. Darker even than games like Zelda BOTW, where nearly every supporting character dies (or i guess, is already dead.)
4:57 I mean to be fair. Shiver star from 64 had a place that looked like a post apocalypse earth and all the ruins from the ancients. And the lore in Kirby has been ramping up for last decade now. Hope they go full throttle with it!
i mean Shiver Star literally is just Earth but frozen. even the model for the planet is just Earth but frozen
Exactly. My own first thoughts on seeing this trailer was, "Hey, did ShiverStar thaw out."
Forgotten Land is Crystal Shards 2. I'm calling it!
You think this might take place in the mirror world? They haven't touched on that yet.
@@Teal-Menace that would be really cool but I doubt it. From what we’ve seen from the mirror world it’s a reflection of pop star. And this is all looks completely new. I guess it’s possible the abandon city area could be the mirror version of Egg Engines from return to dreamland but I don’t think it’s likely.
This looks incredible, so exciting as the start of whole new chapter for Kirby as a franchise, but a lot of people need to properly tune their expectations about this. I keep hearing "is this open world" and even "is this using the Odyssey engine??" like lol as if first party Nintendo and HAL are that tight, but any Kirby veteran can tell you there's enough to pick up on here to know this is essentially going to be the same general structure of game we've been getting. Linear stages, probably find three collectables, fight bosses, progress a story etc., and the way he controls appears to essentially be a modified version of the 3DS spin-off game Blowout Blast, definitely not made for big expansive free-roaming maps. It is still awesome that a conventional Kirby game is finally getting revamped gameplay, but make no mistake that this is a very fancy Mario 3D World, a Bomberman Hero, and Chameleon Twist.
Considering Sakurai is one of the most important figures in Nintendo and smash bros is one of their biggest games, I'd imagine hal and Nintendo are very close, but I do agree people should temper their expectations
I’m expecting for it to be a mix of Crash 4 style linear and 3D World style linear. Some more cinematic camera angles but the areas will be decently open as we go through them along the path
Iwata literally came from HAL, you have to be pretty tight for that
@@Gg66dolphin yeah that’s the thing the original commenter messed up on in their comment
Its best compared to crash honestly! super mario 3d world looks much more basic than this game!
"Just the hills and the green greens"
Ah yes, the people who haven't played much actual kirby lol. I immediately thought of the frozen city in 64 when I saw this game. So hyped, I have loved Kirby since I was a kid.
YES ! this game’s world is like an expanded version of Shiver Star
The way you know Arlo really isn’t a Kirby fan is that he’s surprised Kirby is in a post apocalyptic world
Lol true enough
I wonder which Eldritch Being/Enemy with godlike powers we’re gonna fight at the end of the game.
Oh dear, we'll be dealing with an eldritch abomination in full 3d. It's gonna be a nightmare... and I can't wait.
@@TheKabuto90
Void Termina: Am I a joke to you?
It still feels very different to any past "post-apocalyptic worlds" Kirby has been in before.
I don't think it's open world, I am thinking it might be open-ish levels.
Still, I love the pink lad and will die for him, so of course I will play it.
Yeah free roam like he said
I personally think it'll be a linear 3D style game, like Crash or Mario 3D world. Still going to pick it up cause it's Kirby though.
I too think it will be like 3D World but with a twist. It looks kinda like a linear style but with Odysseys secret areas.
@@uhhhidk923 Nah free roam is definitely more open then this. This definitely just feels like linear levels given more depth like a Super Mario 3D World or a Sonic unleashed. Where levels have or seem like they have more than one pathway to the same destination. A free roam zone would be more like No More Heroes 1's open hub-world.
do you see a hub world?
The thing is that since HAL has been talking a lot of big stuff like the next game will be the “pinnacle” of Kirby series and how it was being made out to be a HUGE game.
The thing is, Kirby is in a weird spot, it sells too much and is too recognizable to be low on the Nintendo totem poll, despite not being super ambitious and changing its formula all the time.
However, it got to a point with Star Allies made everyone feel kinda iffy on it. RTDL brought traditional Kirby back, Triple Deluxe improved the level design and gimmicks, and Planet Robobot tried to be more ambitious with story and further improved the level design and gimmick integration. Star allies was a bit of a step back, which is why people (even huge fans) agree it’s just ok. The DLC improved it much more and showed HAL really did care about making it an anniversary title, and it sold like 4mil, but it still left everyone in a weird spot.
So, it was left up to HAL. They have never really been ambitious with Kirby because for a smaller series, it was doin really well up until Star Allies regressed and was very noticeable. So HAL could either; continue where they were and keep making fun little Kirby games, OR become more ambitious and try making Kirby a BIG BOY (aka another big Nintendo name like Mario and Zelda) and as a fan, I’m for either, but it’s great to see them attempting to push Kirby to greater heights!
Also the game has gotten ALOT of attention, globally trending p much all day AND almost reaching 1 mil views bu the time I’ve commented this. Pretty impressive! I hope this game fulfills the prophecy and makes Kirby even more popular.
Also thanks for reading all of this if you did, it’s quite long
Generally my theory is that star allies is basically every sonic anniversary game ever done right! They needed a anniversary game butz they sadly couldnt make it as amazing as their previous outings so they actually fixed it completly with dlc!
Arlo: “It weird to see Kirby in a mall”
Me: “ obviously somebody never played Kirby 64”
Yup probably was post apocaliptic too!
I'm also excited to see what sort of Dark Eldritch Horror being we will fight in this game, FULL 3D
What if it bleeds just like zero?
@@magic2546 Than it be something that I won't forget
Can’t wait for Zero 3
@@magic2546 Void termina bled a whole bunch so it’s likely
Arlo, Kirby has always been darker than it seems with all types of strange and surreal environents. Glad to have you aboard the S.S. Kirby! ^_^
Haultmanns backstory in general is just depressing.
@@Portersona69420 Legit made me cry. I never cry. I teared up hard. :(
Unless you’re playing just Dream Land or Blowout Blast, there is some scary/mind blowing/depressing lore.
Adventure? Dedede was sealing Nightmare, naturally a person opposite good dreams. AND THAT’S THE SECOND GAME
I will not talk about the rest for the sake of spoiler avoidance and because Adventure, until Super Kirby Clash, does not link Nightmare up to anything.
Oh so you like Kirby? Explain all Kirby lore.
Kirby games always has dark lore in it. My personal favorite: Dark Matter.
All the silly mario movie stuff was fun, but this was my favorite part of the Direct, hands down! I haven't had a Kirby game that I loved since Air Ride. I'm really looking forward to this!!
I can't be the only one who felt happy when he aknowledged he wants to play Robobot.
Arlo, all Kirby games are post apocalyptic. You gotta catch up on your Kirby lore man
Shiver star
All of them? That's a stretch.
Look up RPG Monger. He's got the most important lore all in one video.
@@Shnarfbird almost all of them
@@Ninblasto can you tell me where to go from there?
Where else can I find Kirby lore?
I like the setting, abandoned cities with overgrown plants is somehow a comfy setting.
Also I wanna call Kirby Darksiders because I did remember about Darksiders 3 and would be cool if this game was also a 3D metroidvania like Darksiders 3.
This looks super level based to me. almost every shot has only 2 directions Kirby can go. You wouldn't have walls on both side in a free-roam game.
Inkers if your character can fly you would need to be more restrictive but yeah I get ya
My favorite part of any Kirby game is the variety of transformations, so I hope there’s a lot of really unique ones.
That shot of Kirby waking up on the beach has a lot of interesting details. The way Kirby is animated is highly reminiscent of Kirby 64. I don't know how to explain it but Kirby hasn't looked this way since the N64 days.
I'm glad some people are starting to talk about Kirby 64. That game is really underrated and shares some fascinating lore in it too.
@@Ninblasto
Isn't it that underrated? I always got the impression it was among the fan favorites, usually for the Ability-Combos alone.
@@VonFirflirch I just never hear or see people talk about it much. It's a really great game and I'm glad Nintendo showed it off when announcing the N64 Nintendo Switch Online. Which means that more people will experience it.
"I'm so surprised to see Kirby in this weird creepy post apocalypse"
Kirby fans who know the deeper lore where Kirby is the positive energy reincarnation of an ancient eldritch creator god:
"Yeah...this tracks."
Yup. Everything checks out😅
also Shiver Star, which is the same concept but frozen. the planet's model is even literally just Earth but frozen, like you can see the continents and stuff
Kirby lore seems wacky and fun, I just wish I enjoyed the gameplay of the series.
@@friendbreakfast One person also theorized that this could just shiver star. Like whatever unnatural force that was causing it to be frozen wore off over the years.
Well if he's a _creator_ god, then he's not only the good guy but everyone owes him their existence and should be worshipping him, serving him, and paying tithes and offerings to him, praise be to Kirby.
The premise definitely looks promising so hopefully they'll do more with it than "it's default Kirby but in 3D." It does seem like they want to make that "Shiver Star in Kirby 64 is Earth" either canon or make this a huge nod to whatever might actually be happening with Shiver Star.
This game looks so good graphically, when I watched the trailer I didn't even know it was Kirby until Kirby appeared on screen.
the child in my heart was so happy during the whole trailer. im happy for my boy kirby, he'll always be my favorite
Arlo hate to break it to ya, Kirby’s been in settings like this before lol
I've legitimately been waiting for a 3d Kirby since I played dream land on my gameboy color in middle school. So much potential.
This has the potential to be my favorite Kirby game of all time. I'm a super Kirby stan so this makes me really happy.
Also I like that it's more 2.5D-ish in some parts rather than full on 3D all around. It's sidescroller aspect is a big charm to Kirby games imo.
I'm not sure what your kirby experience has been so far, but if it's just been star allies than no wonder it hasn't grabbed you. Planet Robobot was in my opinion, the peak of the series so far. You should really try playing that or triple deluxe or return to dreamland before writing it off as an uninteresting series to you.
That aside, I'm very interested to see where the new game takes it, and how it adapts the series. We've known a 3D kirby game was inevitable because they've been experimenting a lot with 3D in their spinoffs (Blowout Blast was basic mechanics, Battle Royale was combat with copy abilities), but I wonder how the they'll transfer over the puzzle-platforming appeal of it. They were doing really solid stuff in triple deluxe and robobot with the second plane, but it'll be interesting to see how they can transfer that to 3D if it's not a fixed 2D game.
1:08 - 1:13
Pretty sure he’s stated that he played Super Star and that didn’t grab him.
Kirby games aren’t very exciting. Let’s just face facts. Any of them. They’re all very samey. They “work” but that’s about it. No reason to pay any attention to them when there are so many other platformer games that try to do more.
Hopefully this game is the shakeup the series needs.
The best part about this is that it doesn’t **FEEL** like a post apocalyptic city.
It's not even an apocalypse they just forgot to clip the plants
That's the worst part about this for me
Its very far post-apocalyptic, so the plants have overgrown the remains of the city
All the normal people who inhabited the world of this game seem to have disappeared and have only left giant supermutant animals behind for Kirby to fight. It reminds me a lot of a Netflix series called Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts in which all the humans were driven into underground bunkers because of supermutant animals but knowing how Kirby lore usually is they're probably all dead in this scenario.
An open world collect-a-thon would be pretty fitting for Kirby imo. Cant wait for it to get just as much praise as odyssey did
They’ve been taking steps for a while now, with Kirby Battle Royale, Kirby Blowout Blast, & even Kirby Air Ride, but (especially as avid Kirby fan) I’m SO Glad they finally made the jump.
Same!! When I saw Blowout Blast, and even just moving freely in the overworld of Star Allies, I was like "yeah, they're toying around. They're gonna do it. But when?"
Here's how to properly be a Kirby fan... Know you're Kirby lore.
@@Ninblasto Knowing your lore is great, but in order to Truly be a Kirby fan...
Above all, i say You just gotta love that Pink little dude
@@ikirbeeburgr I mean how can you not? Look at him….. he is shaped like a friend.
@@ikirbeeburgr I do love the pink dude! In fact, I've played him so much in Smash Ultimate that I figured out a true combo that does 0-70%
Can't wait to see how this game adds to the Kirby deep lore. Who knows what eldritch abomination/reawakened god/all powerful ancient machine will Kirby have to deal with this time!?
Thinking more along the lines of Clockwork Stars than Void creatures. Maybe another Star Dream?
Honestly, this could be related to the Ancients. Void already did everything there is to do about Dark Matter lore, and the Ancients really seem like a natural follow-up given Hyness’s clan’s history.
He will fight monke
I love how excited you get for these kinds of news. Seeing your pure joy brightens my day. I'm happy for you too.
It’s always a magical feeling when a game you’ve wanted to see happen forever is finally revealed and it looks like everything you could have hoped for.
12:24 “Because they’re big and they stick with us” 2D games can do that too, just because it’s not a 3D platformer doesn’t mean that it isn’t high quality and we’ll put together. Just look at some of the best most talked about games in recent years; Rayman Origins, Rayman Legends, Ori And The Blind Forest, Ori And The Will Of The Wisps, Celeste, Hollow Knight, Axiom Verge, Yooka-Laylee And The Impossible Lair, Shovel Knight and Mekazoo are all 2D platformers. People love those games and they’re examples of great game design and effort. Your game doesn’t NEED to be 3D to bring in a huge audience, as long as the game is polished and fun it shouldn’t matter.
Exactly
superCamborg I’m so tired of this recent stigma/narrative of 2D games not being worth 3D open world games, 2D games can be just as great as any other genre!
You can do more in and with 3d, 2d is much more simple and straightforward, thus easier to be boring
This is what I keep saying! Everyone just loves to say 3D is automatically better than 2D for NO reason.
@@ratedr7845 however it is important to note that 2D games often (but not always) have less padding than 3D games. Personally I’d consider them about equal when considering the pros and cons of each
Robobot is an absolutely superb Kirby game. Please give it a shot Arlo, I'm sure you'll find yourself pleasantly surprised.
Anyone else here wants a Planet Robobot Remake on the Switch? I've been waiting since Kirby Fighters 2 came out, aka a year ago because of the Robobot stages.
It should probably be mentioned that HAL HAS been taking those half steps for many years. Kirby first got 3D movement on foot in Air Ride back on the Gamecube, and they've been tinkering with it ever since. Some of the earliest concepts for Return to Dreamland were very similar to what would eventually become Kirby 3D Rumble in Planet Robobot, later expanding into Kirby Blowout Blast. The most recent instance being Kirby Battle Royale, where they first began testing the copy abilities in 3D.
Anyways this is just a long way of saying that this isn't just some wild blind dive into 3D. This has been telegraphed for many many years, and it was going to happen eventually.
That and HAL never lets an unused concept go to waste. NEVER. :p
This doesn’t look “free-roaming” to me. Looks like Mario 3D world
It's open world.
@@neutralnarration1463 how do you know?
Which would work better for Kirby
Yeah if you stop to analyze the environments, it looks quite closed
it looks more like Mario Galaxy to me in terms of level size and scope
kirby is my favourite gaming franchise hands down. legit thought the trailer would be splatoon at first but as soon as the pink blob appeared i let out a loud squeal followed by a lot of screaming lol. and that was BEFORE it was revealed to be 3D
i swear my brain is turning into one big pink blob
...oh wait its always been a big pink blob false alarm
but still. KIRBY!
Bro i was Popping off when he started moving in the Z axis
Ohhh, thought the same Splatoon! I was so happy when I suddenly saw the Poyo
Today on the Arlo Show, we find out what happens when Arlo finally realizes that Kirby games are always fantastic.
Not always, but quite often and their "worst" is still pretty OK.
Not a single bad entry.
@@_-Lx-_ but honestly, yeah. The only reason why so many people disliked star allies was because HAL spoiled us rotten by putting out consistently top tier games for 25 years straight. So when the latest entry was just pretty good, we couldn't believe it. I've seen a lot of newer fans who haven't played that many kirby games say that star allies is their favorite!
They just not very exciting and most fail to innovate. They’re all ok. Not bad, but not particularly great either. And like Arlo said, they tend to not grab the masses.
@@aintthatapotofeffluck8926 "They're all ok"
Wrong.
@@joaonitro5149 You’re welcome to disagree but the sales speak for themselves. Kirby is absolutely middle of the road when it comes to interest in Nintendo IPs. There’s a reason for that.
After playing with Kirby during all theses years, I’m really emotional happy to play this game 🥺🔥
Where are you seeing free-roam, Arlo? This is definitely a level-structured game like Mario 3D World (which is still great).
There are one or two small sections that look like they may be free-roam fighting arenas, of a sort, but for the most part, I agree. This game definitely looks like an updated 3D-style side-scrollIng platformer with a more dynamic camera.
@@MiraBoo it MIGHT lean towards bowser fury in the sense that the game has linear stages but a general open world. I wouldn’t mind a 3D world Kirby game either though, i like anything Kirby.
Honestly, I think it'll be more of a mix of 64 and 3D world.
@@MiraBoo Kinda like Mario 64 still fun with some free roam features but not fully. But games gotta start somewhere heck I'd love for a open world Yoshi's island at some point
It looks like it's mostly linear levels, just with a lot of natural progression as opposed to just "walk from start to finish" kind of things. It'll probably be more comparable to a Crash Bandicoot game. Fixed camera, follow a natural path in the level, but with side branches to find along the way that reveal secrets and stuff
Stop you’re scaring me
It could be more like Bowser’s Fury with detailed environments. You are free to go to an area and approach from wherever you like, but when inside you’re locked in some path but not strictly like a Crash Bandicoot game.
Agree, look at the edges, I'm seeing alot of invisible walls here.
Yeah I don't see open much at all, it looks more like Super Mario 3D World, like.. A lot.. Linear levels that are 3D but with a fixed following camera and little areas you can go and explore to collect more stuff.
Better lower your expectations, Arlo, lest you'll wind up setting yourself up for a review of disappointment when the game releases. A lot of scenes have Kirby surrounded by either walls or cliffs. Betting the stages are going to be somewhat linear, along the lines of Mario Galaxy. I still think it's amazing that Kirby's stepping into 3D, though, even if it's Galaxy 3D. I mean, Galaxy was still a pretty amazing adventure.
Not even Mario galaxy. It looks like super Mario land 3D.
I think that Kirby is Nintendo’s entry level series( followed by Yoshi, then Mario, then donkey Kong).
I doubt this is going to be then complex game Arlo is thinking it is and looking for.
It's definitely going to be linear. It's absolutely a 3D World sort of game.
@@DeltathRiylaan Which isn’t bad at all, especially for Kirby’s first REAL 3D outing. It’s a great experimental piece of art just as the 3D Place games were and just as Galaxy was.
@@thelanktheist2626 I think you're missing the point. I think it looks great, but Arlo is fully under the impression it's going to be a free roam sandbox game with a massive interconnected world. He's going to be very upset later. Personally, I love 3D Land/World. But Arlo thinks that structure is tired and bad.
Still amazing Mario galaxy is THE best of the 3d mario
For an actual little blip on the Direct radar: Hot Wheels is getting a game next week, and it looks pretty good.
This game looks so amazing I cannot wait
I think the whole "free roam" thing is being overblown, it's way too early to be making assumptions like that. Levels seem structured in a pretty linear fashion with a lot of them beckoning back to games like 3D World and Crash Bandicoot with the way the camera is placed. I wouldn't be all too surprised if there's even a level select in there as well. I'd love to be proven wrong but this is still the very first time HAL's trying out a fully 3D Kirby and I think it'd be good to keep that in mind.
I think it's gonna be a lot more like 3D World but with the cool set pieces from Odyssey as a backdrop.
The only thing that seems to suggest anything otherwise is when he’s flying on the star. It seems like there are at least multiple ways to go, there.
But yeah. Everything else is very linear.
@@JazGalaxy Fist that thing is called warpstar and its (execpt on some Mapscreens) always like a Starrring in Galaxy! (just a slower)
I, too, think this game looks like lots of fun, and I would say I am excited for it, but I’m not sure where Arlo is getting the idea that it is “free roaming.” The footage shown leads me to believe that it is linear with a camera that tracks Kirby in a pre-determined fashion. Maybe it isn’t exactly level based with a world map and all that, but I am just not convinced that it’s as open as Arlo seems to think it is. I would love to be proven wrong though…
If you have played the game Knack or Knack 2 it looks just like that.
@@scratchsoft2347 I'm really not seeing that, to be honest. The environments look too open and large to lend themselves to the straight forward platforming of 3D world. These environments look more fitting for exploration and adventure instead.
In the Direct they said that you can go wherever you want to go after the trailer and also showed some footage of him moving to other directions than shown in the trailer
I think it'll probably be more like Crash Bandicoot or Mario 3D World, where it's a 3D game that evokes the same feel as a 2D platformer, with mostly linear levels aside from alternate paths.
Kirby level design is already fairly loose and exploration-based, featuring multiple paths and optional areas. I think this will just be that, but in 3D.
Not a huge world where you can go anywhere, nor a small level with multiple objectives like a collect-a-thon, but instead a set of mosty linear levels with some exploration potential. Kirby levels.
It looks more like something like mario galaxy. The levels are big and can be explored somewhat, but it's mostly linear.
I was genuinely impressed by the reveal and presentation of this game. After Star Allies, I was convinced the series needed some type of shake-up, and I also thought about the series truly diving into 3D and doing more with it than just sub-games. And look at what we got - that and way more than what I was expecting. I’m already a huge Kirby fan, but now I’m that much more excited to play this Day 1.
Watching the opening of the video in the direct, I was feverishly wondering what franchise could simultaneously have a post-apocalyptic city this detailed and yet also this cutesy. The seriousness and the cutesy-ness really seemed to be at odds.
Then I saw Kirby on the beach and went "Oooooohhhhhh! It makes sense now."
As a new fan who's only been with Kirby for a few years, I feel super thankful that I get to experience this guy in 3d proper so early on. The OG fans have waited long enough!😆
As a longtime Kirby fan, I think I'm feeling the Kirby magic here. Loving the vibes, no small thanks to the music lol.
I've been worried about a 3D Kirby game because Kirby's usually slow and doesn't have many complex traversal moves like Mario would. So I feel like if the world's too big it'll feel empty and boring and unengaging. The levels seem mostly linear to me which should help with that, but the main city area may be the hub inbetween unique levels? Who knows! I want more info!
Don't feel bad about not liking Star Allies. It's cute with a lot of returning characters but it's pretty shallow and simplified, even for a Kirby game lol.
If it's good Kirby games you're looking for I'd recommend Superstar Ultra (DS), Epic Yarn, Return to Dreamland (Wii), and the 20th Anniversary Collection for Wii if you can get your hands on it (mostly for Dreamland 3 and Kirby 64). I never did any of the 3DS games but I always hear Planet Robobot was really good.
Bro, PLEASE play Planet Robobot somehow it’s literally the best
Even Triple Deluxe has a lot if not like Planet Robobot.
I'm glad you recommended Superstar Ultra instead of the og Snes version. And Planet Robobot wasn't the only good one for the 3DS. Triple Deluxe was good too! Not as good as Robobot but it was still the first real Kirby game I owned. Give the 3DS duo a go!
The 3DS Games are some of the best! Especially planet Robobot.
@@nicolassanchez3047 Not only are the 3DS games good, they share very deep lore in them too.
When I saw the announcement trailer, all I could think about was when 9S and 2B were talking about shopping when going through the dilapidated mall in Nier Automata.
This was my favourite announcement of the direct by far! I love Kirby, and used to play Kirby Superstar Ultra on the DS all the time (it's probably by far the game I played most on the DS). I didn't pick up Star Allies, since it didn't get the best reviews, and it was supposedly really short for its price. I like to spend money on games based on Fun*Playtime/Price, and a new 2d Kirby game didn't seem so appealing for me at the time (especially after playing the demo).
The trailer looks so great, and I really don't think I could be more excited for a Kirby game, as this looks fun, nostalgic, complex, fresh, and hopefully it will be a game I can squeeze dozens of hours of playtime out of!
I still get chills thinking of the excitement I felt beating Amazing Mirror 100% as a kid who didn't even understand there was a map. This is the first time since then I'm hyped for Kirby😁
I reeeeallly hope they incorporate elements of Kirby Air Ride into this.
I just want a remaster of Kirby Air Ride, it's impossible to get a copy now.
How so? As in like, unlocking vehicles to traverse the world? I don't see what elements from Air Ride could transfer to Forgotten Land.
Me with fond memories of Kirby Air Ride: Dont do that.....Dont give me hope
@@fuzzydude64 I'm lucky enough to have _two copies_ of the game (one English, one Japanese!) and I agree: _Kirby Air Ride_ deserves to be remastered, if not a full-fledged sequel. 🌠
I thought the same thing! It's almost like we got a subtle taste of a free-to-explore Kirby level with Air Ride's City Trial, and... well, here we are again, with a trial! In a city!
This looks like a game that has taken a couple years of love, hardwork, and effort to make a Kirby game the GOAT
As a Kirby fan, this really excites me. The recent games just haven’t been as good as the old games
"IF NOTHING ELSE YOU MUST REMEMBER YOUR FAMILY. THATS KIRBY OVER THERE!" - Shulk, I think
It's reyn time
Kirby x Xenoblade, my favorites.
I'm more familiar with Xenoblade 2 and can say there are some definite similarities between its final boss and Planet Robobot's.
Super excited for this game! Hard to believe we’re finally getting a 3D game.
I just hope I get to see my boi Dedede on this game... Especially with the good looking art style.
i like how for Arlo, this is the most unexpected setting. Yet for Kirb fans this is the most organic progression expected.
Lol, this exactly 🤭
If I've understood my secondhand lore correctly, the most probably ending is that it's revealed after Kirby loses his amnesia that this strange post-apocalyptic world was one that Kirby himself destroyed back when he was a Dark-Matter-esque elder god, before he became purified into the pink Kirby that only knows goodness?
@@coreyander286 No Void is the origin of everything not just kirby and darkmatter! So while kirby is technically Void reeincarnated he only became kirby after this reeicarnation!
Also void is much more dangerous than just city level!
True both 3d and creppy shit is something we kirby fans expected for the next game!
Every time Nintendo announces a new platformer I gain years onto my life. After all the rpgs they were announcing I starting asking why I was still watching and then they showed this. Please Nintendo, dont stop making platformers. We need them right now.
I think it looks pretty linear, I don't think that's a bad thing though, just please don't get your hopes up too much.
Yeah, I just hope it's like Bowser's Fury and not like 3D World
Robobot is amazing. It's the best Kirby game ever made. I own them all and it's the best by far.
TBH, it looks quite linear. Look at the trailer, you can see where the "invisible" walls are, and how all the places shown are big corridors.
Now I'm not saying its a bad thing, and I'm really hyped for this game, but I think people shouldn't expect "big free roaming levels".
When you slowed the grab through the window there was a little FF Carbuncle like creature that flew away.
Cute lil thing. Wonder if it's a companion or thing to rescue.
I agree that this looks AMAZING, and I mean that from a gameplay perspective too. But the controls will make or break this; I could see the aiming being difficult or imprecise, especially when float-hopping.
The game looks incredible and while I’m excited, I think it’s still going to have pretty linear level design
Hey did anyone else notice the giant shadow going by in the mall escalator scene? After watching the trailer clips Arlo's been using throughout the vid I finally noticed it. It's at 13:49. I think its the Gorilla boss seen later on in the trailer.
As a kirby fan, even 2D kirby I think is in need of a mixup, similar to kirby's adventure, kirby super star or kirby return to dreamland. One big leap that changes things up, a new way a kirby game could be. Of course having 3D kirby is great, I kind of wish for them to go all the way though, it looks like kind of a super mario 3D world version of kirby.
