Kirby: Planet Robobot – Website update (incl. concept-art), footage, amiibo copy abilities

Kirby: Planet Robobot came out yesterday in Japan, and on the same day, Nintendo updated the official website for the game in Japan. The last section was opened, and it features some “secrets” about the game (including some concept-art for some of the copy abilities). It’s Suzy, from the Hartman Works Company, who explains all this to us.

First, the special ability of some of the copy abilities:

• Mirror: you can reflect enemy attacks right back at ya them;
• Jet: you can use the Jet Cracker technique, which allows Kirby to shoot a powerful blast of energy;
• Crash: you can burn all enemies nearby with the Crash Fireball;
• Super Smash Bros.: you can use various moves from the Kirby series;
• UFO: you can use a catcher beam to catch enemies.

Next, here’s some concept-art for the ESP, Doctor, and Poison abilities:

The next update will be about the Robobot Armour.

Next, here’s a YouTube playlist with some gameplay footage, courtesy of Nintendaan:
