| Kirby Star Allies | February 12th, 2018 | Kirby Star Allies Quick Look: Turn enemies into friends! |  
|
The Kirby™ Star Allies game will be coming out on March 16, and the pink puff is packing some helpful new moves. How helpful? Let's take a look!
Kirby's new Friend Heart ability can turn enemies into friends! You can recruit three Friends total if you're playing by yourself. And if your friends are around, all four of you can play at the same time (additional controllers sold separately). Copy Abilities are back with a twist. Kirby and his friends can share their abilities to perform powerful Friend Abilities. You'll need them to solve puzzles and beat tough foes. Tough foes like... ... Francisca! She's a new character debuting in Kirby Star Allies. Watch out because Francisca uses the power of ice to attack. What a chilly welcome... That's all for this friendly update. Stay tuned to your news feed for more mini-updates on the Kirby Star Allies game! |

Well, OK. So, the video isn't actually delicious...because you can't eat a video. But what it lacks in calories, it makes up with information! Tasty information!
The Kirby™ and the Forgotten Land game is coming out really soon (March 25), and you may need a recap of what it's all about. Please watch the video to learn about Kirby's copy abilities (that's when he inhales a baddie up and borrows their abilities), how copy abilities evolve in the game, the bustling activities of Waddle Dee Town, co-op play, amiibo™ support*, and the very stretchy Mouthful Mode. If you've seen Kirby inhale a car and start driving around...yep, that's one example of Mouthful Mode. You can use the link below to either pre-order the game or download the free demo. Listen up, Kirby fans!
2022 marks the 30th anniversary of Kirby, and a special event will happen later this year! This summer, a one-time orchestrated concert will be live streamed for free globally. It will feature a large, big band-style ensemble of musicians and span a variety of musical genres. We hope you keep your eyes (and ears) peeled for more info. Updates will be added to https://www.kirby.jp/30th-musicfest/eng/. In the meantime, let's turn back the clock by-let's say-five years. In 2017, the Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert reimagined some of the delightful music you'd find in Kirby games. If you want to get in a Kirby kind of mood, here's a clip for you.

Float off on an all-new adventure in the Kirby™ and the Forgotten Land game.
Waddle Dees are being kidnapped, and it's up to Kirby to save them! Explore 3D stages full of mysterious structures from a past civilization, copy enemies' abilities like the new Drill and Ranger, and unleash your adorable might to take on the ferocious Beast Pack. You can also choose from two difficulty modes for either a light, breezy adventure or a more challenging experience. Get a mouthful of powerful transformations
Feeling hungry? In this game, Kirby can inhale real-world objects and transform using Mouthful Mode! Why get one drink from a vending machine when you can swallow the whole thing? Then, use your boxy body to shoot out cans at baddies. You can also consume a car to gain some wheels and slam through walls. You may be surprised by other things that Kirby can do! Restore Waddle Dee Town
Each themed stage you travel through will hide several friendly Waddle Dees in peril. Save them to grow the home base of your adventure, the once-deserted Waddle Dee Town. The Waddle Dees you rescue will unlock shops, leaderboards*, and the ability to evolve copy abilities to make them stronger. You'll also be able to enjoy some of the townsfolk's favorite games. Use compatible amiibo™ accessories** or Present Codes at Waddle Dee-liveries for useful in-game items. Track down cute collectibles to give Kirby's house some extra charm either at the Gotcha Machine Alley or during your adventure. Join up with Bandana Waddle Dee for co-op play
Pass a Joy-Con™ controller to a buddy to play as the spear-wielding Bandana Waddle Dee and help each other explore and battle through this colorful world. While Kirby can float and inhale enemies, Bandana Waddle Dee can spin and stab with his sturdy spear. This is one partner that really gets the point! A present for you!
If you were reading carefully just now, you'd know that Present Codes will give you some useful in-game items. Just for opening this article, here's one you can use: GAMENEWS. In the full version of the game, enter the Present Code at Waddle Dee-liveries that will unlock as you progress through the adventure. If you're connected online, you'll get a helpful present!

Kirby's 30th anniversary year is floating along swimmingly for the pink puff, so let's keep the content coming! Once again, we have a smorgasbord of content that Kirby himself would find delicious. Of course, he finds most things delicious...err, let's just keep moving here.
It's Kirby Time: Read-Along #2: Take Courage
Let's start with a wholesome break. You may have seen the readalong video that we previously shared, but now it's time for video #2! Once again, it's written by Asami Taniguchi and drawn by HYOGONOSUKE. What's Kirby up to in this video? Please watch to find out! More read-along videos will be coming in the future. (And as we mentioned before, please share this video with someone else if it's not quite for you. It just may brighten their day!) Controller tips for the Kirby™ and the Forgotten Land game
If you've been playing the Kirby and the Forgotten Land game, you may be thinking, “Yeah, I got this." And you know what? You probably do. It's good to have confidence, after all. However, if you want to play with a little more style, try incorporating these moves into your, uh, playstyle. Guard! Things can get hairy fast, so it's easy to forget that this move exists. If you press the R, ZR, L, or ZL buttons*, Kirby will do an adorable guard move that can cut down on the damage you take. Depending on the Copy Ability you have, your guard may also block damage completely! As they say, Ice is very nice.... Dodge! Wait, there's a dodge in the game!? Why yes there is! Just hold down one of the guard buttons and then press the Control Stick in any direction (you can even dodge diagonally!). This move is extremely useful during boss fights because you can avoid damage completely. Also, if you do it right before getting hit, you'll get a nifty slow-motion effect that sometimes lets you hit an enemy multiple times with a Copy Ability before they can react. As they say, if you're in danger, try dodging as a Ranger... Slide! Once again, hold down a guard button and then press the jump button. This slide is handy for closing the gap in a pinch, and certain Copy Abilities can use it to great effect. As they say, you might be floored by the Sword... Charge! Finally, don't forget that holding the attack button can charge some of your attacks (once again, this depends on your copy ability). If you're a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate player, you already know that Kirby's charged-up Hammer packs quite a punch. As they say**, it's easy to cause a clamor with a charged-up Hammer... New Present Code
Next up, let's talk presents-specifically, the Present Code feature for Kirby and the Forgotten Land. In the full version of the game, you can enter Present Codes at Waddle Dee-liveries that will unlock as you progress through the adventure. If you're connected online, you'll get a helpful in-game item or more! Since it is Kirby's 30th birthday year, it shouldn't surprise you that today's code is: THIRTIETH. Please note that an internet connection is required, and the code will expire on 5/27. OK, that's all for now. If you don't have the game yet, you can purchase it by using the link below. |
