Kirby: Planet Robobot

Kirby: Planet Robobot is an upcoming game in the Kirby series for the Nintendo 3DS. It is slated for release in Japan on April 28th, 2016, and in North America on June 10th, 2016.

Confirmed Story
As Kirby naps under a tree, a group of robotic invaders—the Haltmann Works Company —descend from the skies of Dream Land and overrun Planet Popstar with machinery. Both King Dedede and Meta Knight retaliate against the invaders. King Dedede uses his castle's cannons and Meta Knight uses his Halberd, but both are easily defeated by the enemies' weaponry. Kirby wakes up, and seeing the machinery, sets out to stop the invaders.

Confirmed Copy Abilities
Thus far, 25 Copy Abilities have been confirmed to appear in Kirby: Planet Robobot. Of those 24, 3 abilities are new, and more than 10 abilities can be copied while using the Robobot Armor.

Players can scan amiibo to instantly obtain Copy Abilities, whether random or character-specific, depending on the amiibo used (for example, the Mario amiibo will give Kirby the Fire ability). In addition, there will be a line of Kirby series amiibo, featuring Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede and Waddle Dee. When either of these are scanned, they will either give Kirby the UFO ability, or one of three custom-designed versions of existing abilities.

Note: Copy Abilities listed in italic'' will feature a custom-designed version or will only be accessible when scanned with special amiibo figures. Copy Abilities listed with an asterisk are abilities that can be used with the Robobot Armor.''
