The latest work in the "Kirby no Kirby" series "Kirby's Kirby Discovery" will be released on March 25 at Nintendo Switch. The new adventure of the protagonist Kirby, who has the "copy ability" that sucks the enemy and gains its power, is the first 3D world in the series. [See another image about this article] How the game system is from the conventional 2D to 3D, and how the playfeel has changed, and "Honkei Henkei" and "Copy Appearance Evolution" introduced in this work. , I was very worried about what the new systems such as "Waddy Town" were. This time, as a first impression, I would like to actually play the early stage of the sample version as the product, and touch on the feel and the new system. ■ Kirby's action, such as sucking and hovering, into a 3D style, the stage where Kirby adventures this adventure is the “Shinsei World”, which combines civilization and nature. This place, caught in a mysterious storm, is naturally covered with the ruins of civilization that would have existed. What appears there is the mysterious "Beast Corps" that looks like an animal. Kirby, who came to this world after being sucked into a huge whirlpool, travels to an adventure that helps Wadoldi. Although this work was the first 3D action, the operation itself is really comfortable, and the series -specific action has been sublimated into 3D style. In the style of moving vertically and horizontally and horizontally, jumping, hovering, sliding, inhaling enemies, and using the unique action of the series. is. The fact that the game became 3D has also increased the search elements, and it was one of the pleasures to find various features hidden in the stage. The hidden aisle is everywhere on the stage, and is cleverly hidden in the place that makes you think, "Is it suspicious!?" In addition to mere passage, it can be found by making full use of copying ability and chicken Henkei, and in many cases, the creepy Wadoldi is caught. Wadoldi not only develops the base of Wadoldi (described later), but also has the role of opening the stage of the boss that reigns in the last of the world, so it is best to help as much as possible. is. Wadoldi can also help by clearing conditions related to stage features and gimmicks. There is no time limit on each stage, and you can play repeatedly after clearing, so you will be able to enjoy play to rescue everyone in Wadoldi who was finally captured on the stage. ■ Evolved "Copy Appearance" and "Honkei" Kirby's copy ability, which is a henkei that is falling on the stage, is "cutter", "sword", "bomb", "fire", "ice". In addition to the familiar series, new abilities such as a "ranger" that shoots the star bullets and the "drill" that can avoid enemies by diving on the ground is added. In addition, some "needles" have been renewed in accordance with the game design of this work, such as rolling a thorns in the whole body, wrapping the enemy in a state of raw body. Furthermore, these copy abilities can be evolved by the "blueprints" found on the way, and the action variations are even more expanded. And about the highlight of this time, "Hobari Henkei", this is the ability to handle these objects in the mouth with the ability to handle the items placed on the stage (such as decayed objects), which are completely different from the copy ability. Kirby can be in that form by bowing, and can take action according to it. As you can see in PVs, Kirby's Kirby's appearance is really unique and fun, but the action when he demonstrates its power is even more interesting. For example, if you have "Kuruma" or "roller coaster", you can easily predict the action after Henkei, but there are many surprising actions in surprising forms, such as "Waka", "arch", and "locker". Every time you find a new item, you will be excited. You can see that there are more than 10 kinds of chicken Henkei even if you play for a few hours in the early stages. Many of these are different from the copy ability, which are common in the world view of the stage, and it is expected that more various things will appear according to the subsequent development. I will also introduce the new element of this work, "Wadoldy's Town". This is a place where Wadoldi, who has rescued on each stage, gather, and when the number exceeds a certain number, it is a base for an adventure where you can feel the feeling of creating a little town. It is nice to have a little fun from the main game, such as the evolution of copy ability, purchasing items, browsing movies, sub -games, and Kirby's house. This is a game system that also leads to the motivation to rescue Wadoldi in the main game. At the beginning of the game, the game is relatively gentle, it can set the difficulty level, and the camera is basically an automatic operation, so unless you are not good at action games, you should be able to enjoy it while having fun. On the other hand, for example, "Treasure Road" that appears on the world map is not difficult, but the standard "Mukuhyo Time" is set quite severely, and play to reduce this clear time. Is a worthwhile challenge for players who are familiar with their arms. There are many elements that can be done, such as the rescue of all Waddui on each stage and continuous battles with the boss at the "Coliseum", so you can enjoy it without getting tired. This "Kirby Discovery", which became 3D and got a new playfeel. In addition to the elements introduced this time, there are still many attractions, such as world views set in ruins and highly perfection BGM, and we will try again in the review after the release. There are more days until the release date, so I want you to expand your expectations and wait. © HAL LABORORATORY, Inc./ Nintendo
