dark matter's a nigger
Kirby: star battle allies royale
Is it worth a purchase, OP? I haven't gotten a chance to play/buy it yet, so I wanted to get more info before I decided to potentially spend muh dollaridoos on it.

i'm in burger, so i can't speak to the full game yet
demo's been nice enough, though
:^)
Dark Matter is bae
Don't get Battle Royale and save your money for Star Allies. The new 3DS game is really boring to play and I don't think they minigames are that interesting.
...
Is Adaline gonna be in the game?
World map image
No, but now there's an artist power, so if she ever does come back, she can probably have a moveset.
I'm not expecting her to be the game's special mode, but if she's in the game in any meaningful way that'd be great.
Have we seen Mr. Frosty yet?
Same here.
Story Stuff. Seems to confirm that the heart that hits Kirby is different than everything else the Jama/Demon Heart is sending out.
An Artist ability got in, so now there could be a chance of her appearing in this game or in the future.
>A reference to Fridge in this day and age
Nani?
I wonder if there are any secret stages available by just exploring the world map.
>Fridge reference
>Artist ability
>Fuggin' Plugg
This might just be the game where Dark Matter makes a comeback.
Friend Wheel.
That seems to be all of interest I could find. If you want to look at the scans yourself, check the link above.
Also, have this sweet Nightmare Wizard remix
youtu.be
Maybe. 3D World had hidden Toad Houses at least.
They're certainly referencing Dream Land 3 and Kirby 64 a whole lot. I'd only expect a legacy boss with some tie at the very least though.
>Have we seen Mr. Frosty yet?
Yeah, he was first seen in the E3 trailer. This makes me wonder though, can you befriend a midboss knowing that both Bonkers and Bugzy are playable? Getting a Helper this time around is way different now that you throw hearts at them instead.
probably works like eating them does
Bonkers and Bugzy were always partners for Hammer/Suplex. It'll probably be the same rule here.
I just noticed that there are things on the path of the bottom right screenshot. Could it be relevant to the story?
Hard to make out, but it looks like enemies (or something) carry things to the mountain.
>tfw all of Triple Deluxe and Planet Robobot soundtrack are gone from Gilvasunner's channel
>Checks
>It's true
But why?
Probably Jewtube being shit as usual.
HAL has requested him to take it down according to his twitter page. The same deal with vector harbor.
HAL
One step closer to less cancerous autistic Kirby meme shit on YouTube
>It actually might be happening
The Zero cult must be pleased
Did you mean SiivaGunner user?
Gilva was the one that Siiva was parodying.
I guess it's because there's technically official soundtracks, but aren't those JP only? Still kinda weird.
I can't wait for all the new helper art that will be drawn.
Didn't think of this and now I'm slightly more hyped. Thanks.
Wait the antagonist this time around are cultist?
I think he's referring to the fanbase.
That said, the apparent villain appears to be a cult member.
look at this guy
I was thinking he was a ghost or spirit, but cultist works too.
So is the consensus that star allies will be good? Last 2 kirbys I played were the last one on wii and rainbow curse and I loved curse. I'm 50/50 on the new one but i have a switch
It's basically a follow up to RtDL.
Consensus thus far isn't that positive, mostly due to burn-out from Triple Deluxe & Planet Robobot, but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the game itself so far.
Basically, if you liked RtDL, you'll like this.
If you played Return to Dreamland, then Star Allies seems a lot like it, though the characters are all the various critters from the game rather than just 4 kirbys or MK/DDD/Bandanna Dee
It looks like it's going to be a great game, and there's going to be a competition on who defeats both Whispy and Dedede the quickest on Jan 21.
INTRO CUTSCENE
twitter.com
So the dark hearts corrupt those who get near apparently...
of course
So the plot is similar to Kirby 64?
I swear if Dark Matter isn't even mentioned in this game I'm gonna flip.
I love how detailed Dedede's coat is this time around.
Not everything is dark matter you dumb borbs.
Seems more like a Kirby's Dreamland 3 plot (which is weird considering Robobot was also that kind of plot, kinda)
I love how Dedede's Castle gets more and more detailed with each appearance.
Compare it here with the one from Kirby Triple Deluxe.
...
Wait. Doesn't Dedede canonically hate stars? Or was that just the anime?
...
Either it was the anime or something from early on.
As far as I know, that trait hasn't popped up in ages.
Meta Knight's eyes are NOT YELLOW!!!
Is this game going to have Kirby 64 style cut scenes without distracting things like text dumps and dialogue?
...
Yup, it does look way better.
guys
guys what if
what if pic related
Francsica is a thing so don't count on it.
Francisca is already confirmed to have dialogue.
Big question is will it be like RtDL (Only one major plot dump) TD (two or three plot dumps with mostly textless cutscenes) or Planet Robobot (plenty of important, text heavy cutscenes).
That was early Dedede in the spinoffs, although I think he still does since he holds a grudge against Kirby.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
He steals them for himself in several earlier games. I reckon he was an empty king that wanted a normally unobtainable dazzling beauty all to himself.
I like this design, but I wish the Kirby 64 castle became he standard.
holy shit that coat fluff looks really good, hell even his gloves have great detail.
Somebody's been taking soy.
So now we know that the purple aura surrounding them is actually them corrupted rather than possessed. Which makes sense since Dedede is stealing food from Dreamland as evidenced in the background and is smiling throughout his battle rather than looking all dead from prior games. Could this also mean that Meta Knight is going to bring back his Halberd to rule over Popstar again?
Does anyone know anything about the mangas? Where can I read scanlations?
That planet on the center, i-is that what I think it is?
Could make for a neat reference/stage, but he appears to be fought on a cliffside.
Unless Kirby sinks it and THEN fights him.
I recall Rainbow Resort had scans of the 4Koma mangas (though, most untranslated), but it's been ages since I've been there.
I'm also unfamiliar with 90% of the manga in that image.
In regards to your question.
Oh shit. Shiver Star?
IS THAT A MOTHERFUCKING KIRBY 64 REFERENCE.
>shiver star
>rings
Not him but there could be a potential explanation.
Perhaps instead of moving away from the Earth like the moon does in real life, it moved closer and was ripped apart by the Earth's gravity.
No, it's not Shiver Star, Shiver Star's continents match Earth's, Shiver Star has a moon, and Shiver Star does not have rings. It's another frozen looking planet.
...
I like 64 castle too, but I love the anime castle design. Something about it makes me think that it fits Dedede's personality very well.
I think I've read all of Rainbow Resorts'. I'm not sure scans or scanlations exist for the 4koma mangas I want to read, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
I think K64 Dedede's castle fits really well with his stoic characterization in those games.
I always wondered if Dark Castle counted as "Dedede's" Castle.
Iceberg has the excuse of possibly just being hijacked by Dark Matter, but part of me wonders if Dedede had it built while possessed.
I really love that level and its layout. It makes it feel like you're going into his domain uninvited.
What if the 0 cult is real and WE were the 0 cult all this time?
That would be MGS levels of meta.
They switched names
>Final boss is just these threads
>Boss summons plug posters and borb posters
>True arena real final boss is that one kirby fetish chart
Dedede is the only one possessed in Dreamland 2 without anyone knowing, so it could be his own castle.
The bottommost one is a Waddle Dee carrying a banana. I bet you they're sending food to Dedede, like always.
What does this guy intend to do anons?
Part of me wonders about that part too considering the clouds that cover the Rainbow Islands and re-enter the boss doors just nets you a minigame with the boss after beating them (a bit like in Dream Land 3 how the boss simply doesn't fight you once exorcised).
>the soul battle is NME Salesman r34
>twitter.com
>mfw is NOVA hearth corrupted by dark matter
I dont think HAL is just going to fanservice ths hard and usually they leave the old characters cameos for the post-game. Still would be hype
I interpreted it as Dark Matter taking control of Dedede, and using Dedede's influence to get his minions to build him a new home. Same for Zero.
W-wait, WAIT.
Is that an eye in that heart?! Dark Matter,
is that you?!
The heart has the name "Jama Heart" which translates to "Demon Heart"/"Wrong Heart" So I don't think it's Nova connected.
Iceberg, at least, has Dedede's color palette whereas Dark Castle seems to be purple (which was also Real Dark Matter's color scheme in concept art) and the name, Dark Castle.
It's one of those fairies from Kirby 64 who defected from Queen Ripple who still worships Zero.
[SNES drum samples increase in volume]
>Iceberg has the excuse of possibly just being hijacked by Dark Matter, but part of me wonders if Dedede had it built while possessed.
I dont think so unless minions built castles very fast or kirby took a really long time to reach iceberg because the adventure start not much time after Dark matter posses everyone
Inb4 this actually fucking happens.
I wish i had a better picture but that looks like a rough NOVA hearth
>I dont think so unless minions built castles very fast
They can, it's games.
I noticed in the cutscene that the Jama Heart quickly flies out to space before that bright burst of hearts; I don't think you get to visit the altar the cultist was at in-game.
