I’ve been playing the new Kirby Star Allies demo again and again since it dropped yesterday. Fun as it is, it’s only a small taste of what’s to come in Kirby’s latest adventure, though thankfully, Nintendo’s given us another quick peek. These two, short trailers share some of the game’s features with a little voice over. There’s even a couple, new bits of footage if you look hard enough in the first video.
Did you spot the sparkling ice stage in the middle there? What about another look at Chef Kawasaki (celebrating with Kirby no less) and the Cook ability? Those are great and all, but the real take is that longtime Kirby boss Kracko is making a comeback, and it looks like there’s more than one angry cloud around. These bits haven’t been as prominent in US ads, hopefully showing there’s still plenty yet to be shown for the game.
The second one isn’t nearly as feature filled if you’ve managed to keep up with every bit of info coming along, but it does give another look at the always welcome Meta Knight and the much loved Ice Curling ability. You can see that skill for yourself in the demo, and look forward to more of it and others come the game’s March 16th release.
