What a weird concept, not sure if want. More amiibo junk sucks too.

Robobobot

The amiibo functionality in this game actually sounds really cool and fun!

Kirby in a mech. My two favorite things are now together.


The amiibo functionality has the disappointing facet of having the UFO power being exclusive to amiibo. The UFO is an incredibly powerful ability for Kirby, so I can see how it was decided to tie it with amiibo as a quasi-cheat.

UFO takes the best aspects of Spark and Laser and allows you to do them anywhere, so I'm not concerned.

Unfortunate that the Robot segments will likely be similar to the Mega Seeds from Triple Deluxe, in that they won't have much of a main focus. I'd like to see entire levels use the mech, but it's still an awesome mechanic and I'm very excited after Triple Deluxe kicked so much ass.

I wanted a Dedede Amiibo a year ago.  Can't say that I care any longer - that boat has sailed.

I will say this looks like the game that might push me into getting a 3DS. But with New 3DS getting SNES games I might have to get one of those instead. Tough choices ahead.

The Waddle Dee has stars coming out of its butt!!!!! Instant buy.

The only difference is that Robobot will be fun!

I like the Meta Knight design here better than the Smash one.  Not sure how I feel about Dedede, but I still want one.  The Kirby and Waddle Dee are too cute to pass up. :(

The game part of this announcement was everything I could want.  The amiibo part is everything I could not want but still be compelled to throw money at :(

So I'm going to take a wild guess and say that the regular Kirby Amiibo I already own won't get me the UFO power because fuck this kind of amiibo integration.

Would disagree with you, but then I remembered 8-bit Mario.

You know what would be really impressive? A game where all the copy powers were Smash Bros. hats. That would be awwwwwwesome.

I'm pretty sure the Direct (quickly) showed the Smash series Kirby unlocking the Smash move set in Kirby Planet Robobot.

No no, I mean:

Put Charizard Amiibo on, get Charizard Hat, etc.

Oh! That would too cool for Nintendo to do!

Then, fuck you Nintendo.

Why? You're getting a new, interesting power for the amiibo you own.  Sure, it's a different new, interesting power than the one from the new amiibo, but that's Nintendo's star earner these days.

Because I already own a Kirby Amiibo. Plus Smash was in Amazing Mirror so it isn't even new.

Oh, shit. I forgot about that.

But still, this is Nintendo's business model now. If you could unlock everything with amiibo you already own, you probably wouldn't buy anymore.

If Wii, Game Cube not playing DVD's, GBA re-selling you games you already owned, Wii re-selling you games you already owned, DS re-selling you games you already owned, Wii U not having games, Wii U re-selling you games you already owned, the entire New 3DS debacle, the 2DS, the DSi, the mess that was Perrin Kaplan, N64 controllers breaking every couple of months, N64 controllers putting blisters on your hands because of piss poor level design, Super Mario RPG turning into fucking paper mache, Zelda "kiddie cartoon" Wind Waker, the whole Zelda TP being the definitive GC game becoming a launche game for the Pii, the Pii version of TP being scrapped in favor of the "definitive" versions getting an HD remake, the fact that their first HD remake is arguably the most hated/divisive/controversial game they have ever made, losing Mortal Kombat a staple of the Nintendo console, losing Street Fighter a staple of the Nintendo console, losing the REAL Final Fantasy a staple of the Nintendo console, the very existence of a FF Knock-off with FF in the fucking title (Crystal Chronicles), the fact they have a game whose initials are TP and a console whose name rhymes with pii which just proves the whole kiddie humor so they must be kiddie perception, letting Rare go to Microsoft, everything that happened with Silicon Knights, everything that happened with Project HAMMER, hiring a stun man from VH1 (the old MTV knock off) to be the face of the company, re-selling you Game Cube controllers to play games on Wii U but not letting them be compatible with anything else, designing arguably the greatest game controller ever in Game Cube/Wave Bird then throwing it away on trash like Pii Ding-a-ling, making DS backwards compatible with GBA (BC with all past Game Boy) but not BC with all past Game Boy, removing GBA functionality but continuing to sell games that rely on it, selling online games then removing the online service instead of migrating it to the new service, re-selling you Wii games in digital on a console that plays the disc version of the game chances are you already own, and the fact that their HD Playstation "killer" is the Pii 2.0 with a touch screen controller making you play with Nintendo poo and pii because they are immature doofuses, DIDN'T make you say FUCK YOU Nintendo already, then you DESERVE AMIIBO and the hell it has unleashed upon gaming/semi-joking rant over.


You have been playing with Nintendo's "magic wand" for over a decade I think it is you that Nintendo has fucked. (or all of us in a sad way.)
