Template:Game Kirby: Star Allies (Japanese: 星のカービィ スターアライズ Hoshi no Kabi: Star Allies) is an upcoming main-series title for the Nintendo Switch. It is set to release on March 16th 2018 in all regions.
Overview
Kirby: Star Allies is an action platformer, styled after previous games in the main series, greatly resembling Kirby's Return to Dream Land in its art style, but in HD. The central gimmicks of the game appear to be using hearts to befriend certain enemies on the stage to turn them into allies in the vain of the Helpers from Kirby Super Star (Ultra). Collecting certain friends will allow Kirby to solve various puzzles, and perform combo attacks called Friend Abilities. These attacks include combining Copy Abilities, as well as performing special moves with the friends.
Once Friends are acquired, they can either be controlled by the CPU, or controlled by additional players. Kirbys [[Color Changes|of different colTemplate:Ours]] can also join in.
Not much is known about the story. Recent trailers do suggest, however, that a strange wizard-like being is raining magic on Pop Star, and it is this magic that gives Kirby the ability to charm creatures on the field at will using hearts.
