Kirby Wii

Kirby is seeing a regeneration this E3 and this continues with Kirby Wii! In an effort to reignite old fans of the series and newcomers to the franchise, Nintendo are returning Kirby and friends to Dream Land in this new adventure. An alien ship has crashed in the peaceful Pop Star world and it’s pieces are scattered throughout the land. Kirby must travel through the realm to retrieve the broken pieces to help the alien race return home.

Kirby is joined by 3 friends to help him on his quest in the form of Meta Knight, King Dedede & Waddle Dee who can join in at any time using drop-in, drop out features. Also older fans of the series will be pleased to hear that Kirby has his Copy Ability back so he can once again inhale enemies and copy their skills. Other features such as the Sword, Beam, Leaf & Whip Caps all add to the pink sensation’s arsenal of attacks.

As if this wasn’t enough, the game introduces Super Abilities which are brought to the screen when certain enemies are inhaled. The Super Sword, for example, is a huge sword swung by Kirby that takes out an entire screen of enemies in one swoop. The game is being developed by HAL laboratories and has a tentative release of Autumn 2011.
