Kirby going open world so soon after Forgotten Land feels so unexpected, yet makes so much sense. Considering experimental 3D Kirby gameplay (under Kumazaki's leadership) started with Blowout Blast, Battle Royale and Star Allies' final boss, before being perfected via a linear 3D platformer with Forgotten Land, it makes sense that releasing another linear 3D platformer would feel slightly iterative at best and derivative at worst.
Also, I can't believe they brought back the Super Abilities from Return to Dreamland! Here's hoping they feel less situational like in Return and Hypernova in Triple Deluxe, and more iterative like the Robobot Armor.
Considering the leitmotifs of the Super Ability theme from Return to Dreamland, and the fact the windmill from Cookie Country features prominently, I'm fully expecting this to expand upon Another Dimension from Return, Star Allies, and Magalor Epilogue.
That new character was captured in a bag similar to the Animal Friends in Dreamland 2, so here's hoping they appear alongside some Dark Matter bosses!

Great moment when he tore out of the world.
I'm kinda getting over them promoting anniversaries tho. Call me back when it's 10, 25, 50, 75, or 100.
We just had all the stuff for the Zelda 25th anniversary like... a year or two ago tops? And then yesterday they kept talking 40th anniversary. T.T And poor Metroid never gets an anniversary acknowledged.

I'm afraid that Nintendo is basically just creating open world game with different skins at this point.

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Kirby looks real good!

There's the game I've been waiting for ever since I tried to turn the camera in the first level of Forgotten World. It took me until halfway through the level to give up and realize it wasn't the 3D Kirby game I thought it was going to be. I still enjoyed it, but this is what I truly wanted!
