The most recent Nintendo Direct showcase ended on a brand new 3D platformer, however not the brand new Mario sport that was circulating within the rumor mill. As a substitute it was the subsequent sport within the Kirby collection, Kirby and the World Past, which seems to take a brand new open-world approach–and then break by means of that open world to a different, larger open world.
The trailer started unassuming sufficient, as Kirby explored a lush inexperienced world, found secrets and techniques, and floated behind a waterfall. However then he met a brand new companion who helped him unlock what can solely be described as cosmic-powered variations of his conventional skills. The instance proven was for his traditional Sword capability, which has at all times been modeled after Hyperlink from the Legend of Zelda. On this powered-up Sword capability, the sword gained a fiery iridescent glow, and his hat bought a few of that good stitching we noticed within the Ocarina of Time remake trailer.
Together with his extra highly effective sword, Kirby was capable of do issues like chop down bushes in a single highly effective strike. However the larger reveal got here on the very finish, when he used his newly powered cosmic sword to chop by means of the world itself, revealing one other world hidden behind it.
The trailer did not go into a lot element about how these superpowered skills will manifest in gameplay. Kirby and the World Past launches subsequent spring.
