New Kirby Game Announced for Switch in 2018

During their E3 stream, Nintendo revealed a new Kirby game, being developed by  HAL Laboratories, for Nintendo Switch.

No precise title was revealed, much like with the new Yoshi game which is also in development at this time. The video above shows off co-op gameplay, possibly up to four players, along with the ability to take control of up to three enemies and compel them to be your allies. Classic enemy types return, with an overall familiar feel; Nintendo seems very keen on advertising that this entry in the series will definitely be in HD.

Here are the first screenshots:

Here’s a rundown on the game:


The pink puff is back—in HD—and he’s not alone.
