New Kirby Wii Coming to the US (Fall 2011) (1-4 players)

If you caught the shitload of logos at the end of the Nintendo conference, one of them was for the new Kirby game. Some other stuff were up there too but I couldn't see em all.

Release Date: Fall 2011

Kirby Returns to Dream Land – and the Living Room

Kirby™ and his friends are back in an adventure designed to satisfy
longtime Kirby fans and beginners alike. When an alien spaceship
crashes in the otherwise peaceful realm of Pop Star, its pieces are
scattered throughout the land. Players must guide Kirby as he retrieves
the ship’s parts and helps the aliens return to their home planet. This
time, however, he’s not alone. At any time, up to three more players
can join in the fun and play as Meta Knight, King Dedede and Waddle
Dee to help Kirby in his quest.

FEATURES:
• Kirby’s powerful Copy Ability returns, allowing him to inhale, spit and transform as he
encounters enemies.
• Players can deploy classic and new abilities, including:
○ Sword: Kirby dons a green cap and wields a sword.
○ Beam: Kirby wears a jester hat and can shoot energy from a magic wand.
○ Whip: Kirby wears a cowboy hat and can lasso enemies.
○ Leaf: Kirby is surrounded by a whirlwind of leaves.
• The game also introduces new Super Abilities, which are activated when Kirby
inhales special enemy characters. For example, the “Super Sword” Super Ability
allows Kirby to swing a giant sword and wipe out an entire screen’s worth of foes.
• Up to four players can enjoy the action together. (Additional controllers required and
sold separately.) They play cooperatively to progress through the game and collect
Point Stars and Ability Stars. Players can join and leave the game at any time.

Did anyone see The Last Story or Xenoblade?
I didn't, and I was frantically searching through the (small) logos. Hopefully when the press pack comes out we'll know whether NOA hates us or not.

Finally he is here. Epic Yarn wasn't a real Kirby at first so this is the game that was announced for ages. Now with it and Duke Nukem Forever out, Pikmin 3 seems to be the game of the forever.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Internet.
... AFTER the awesomeness of Epic Yarn. and I agree. Epic Yarn had an amazing artstyle. But this looks like a decent kirby.


But Kirby is always welcome in my book!

Mario Party 9? Finally! How could they make 8 Mario Party games and then not make a single one (designed) for the system built for party games?
(MP8 was clearly a Cube port and doesn't count.)
 
The regular ability partners are gone now?

Not sure if I want to have Meta-Knight or Dedede all the time. And what does Bandanna Waddle Dee do again?

If this is basically the Kirby version of NSMBWii then I'm sure I'll end up buying it for my girlfriend. There aren't many Wii games that I actually like, but the NSMBWii/Donkey Kong/Kirby games are great co-op titles.

Glad to finally see a real man's Kirby game after the disappointment that was Epic Yawn.

I Love this, we finally get this 2006 kirby game and now it has playable Dedede, Metaknight and Bandana Waddle dee.

I'll miss the giant Dedede mech through, but this is looking great!
