Release date(s): Template:Release

Template:Game Kirby: Battle Royale (Japanese: カービィ バトルデラックス! Kirby Battle Deluxe!) is an upcoming action-multiplayer spin-off game for the Nintendo 3DS. It is set to release on November 30th, 2017 in Japan and January 19th, 2018 in North America.

Overview

The basic premise of Battle Royale pits Kirby against several different clones of himself in various competitive games. These range from fights using Copy Abilities in the vain of Kirby Fighters Deluxe, but instead done in a 3-D space - to games where Kirbys try to collect gems and apples - to Boss battles where Kirbys compete to deal the most damage. At least 10 different game modes have been confirmed.

Each of these game-modes will feature both local and online multiplayer, making this the first entry in the Kirby series to have full online multiplayer, complete with matchmaking and a global ranking system. There will also be a single player adventure mode which features King Dedede in prominent speaking roles.

More information will surface as the release date approaches.

Copy Abilities

The following Copy Abilities have been confirmed to appear in this title:

Several of the abilities appear to be heavily re-worked for a 3-D space, including the Ice ability being able to create icy barriers, and the Tornado ability allowing Kirby to create a torrent that tosses other Kirbys around him into the air.

Trivia

  • The title of this game may have been inspired by the 2000 Japanese film Battle Royale.
  • An exploit in the source code of the Copy Ability poll page was found that allowed a theoretically unlimited number of votes to be injected on any Copy Ability without having to wait until the next day. A link to the tally count of each candidate could be found when inspecting the vote button. This link only showed the tally count for the North American poll. Since September 19, 2017, this link now links to a blank Error 404 page and it is assumed that the exploit has been patched.
