Save Planet Popstar from a robotic army when Kirby: Planet Robobot launches on Nintendo 3DS this Friday

June 7th 2016 – Planet Popstar is being mechanised by sinister forces, and it’s up to Kirby to put a stop to their evil schemes when Kirby: Planet Robobot releases exclusively for Nintendo 3DS family systems this Friday. This time around, Kirby has help saving the day in the form of Robobot Armour that can also make use of his Copy Abilities, allowing our hero to use the enemies’ weapons against them in order to save the day!

The Kirby Collection amiibo will also release alongside Kirby: Planet Robobot, consisting of Kirby, Waddle Dee, King Dedede, and Meta Knight. The latter three amiibo, when tapped, will bestow Kirby with a unique ability and a change of costume based on the character scanned. Meanwhile, the new Kirby amiibo will give our hero the “UFO” ability, which lets Kirby float indefinitely and unleash powerful beam attacks upon unsuspecting foes. Fans eager to get their hands on this ability can also choose the Kirby: Planet Robobot - amiibo Bundle, which includes a copy of the game and a Kirby amiibo from the new Kirby Collection.

It’s the rise of the Robobots when Kirby: Planet Robobot unleashes mechanical fury on Nintendo 3DS family systems as it launches in South Africa on 10th June. The Kirby, Waddle Dee, King Dedede and Meta Knight amiibo will also launch on the same date, as will a bundle containing a copy of the game and a Kirby amiibo from the new Kirby Collection.
