Questa settimana si è tenuto il Mini Nintendo Direct che ci ha permesso di ammirare nuovamente Kirby Star Allies per Switch, gioco annunciato l’anno scorso e che finalmente ha anche una data d’uscita ufficiale.
Su Twitter, però, sono comparsi alcuni post che mettono a confronto la grafica del gioco al suo annuncio fino a quella che abbiamo potuto ammirare nuovamente lo scorso giovedì ed i miglioramenti sono stati molto interessanti.
Kirby Star Allies, ricordiamo, sarà disponibile il prossimo 16 marzo.
Not sure how many people noticed it, but Kirby: Star Allies has received some amazing visual upgrades compared to the previous trailers. @KirbyInformer pic.twitter.com/iUeZvjxLZL

Some other fun visual things…
When Meta Knight’s wings are appearing, they size in almost immediately. If you look at it frame-by-frame, you can see him with his smol flappers. pic.twitter.com/illswajmdg

Susie 2.0 uses a Super Soaker to attack. Also, the “boss attack” stars that are generated from her are purple. They also bounce around, rather than sit still like usual. Possibly an attack, too? pic.twitter.com/WYrFD1DySg

Kirby’s closed eye, for some reason, has a ton of detail added to it. Also, his pink eye ring thingy from renders is present. pic.twitter.com/mv6hwTjLp7

This isn’t exactly visuals, but…after 15 years, Sir Kibble finally remembered how to walk! pic.twitter.com/vr4ZTbOiZB

When enemies are hit with paint-based attacks, they actually end up covered in various colors. Once they’re eliminated, they end up exploding into paint rather than dust and stars. (Noddy and Sir Kibble are shown) pic.twitter.com/fX2XRwcnLw

The star particles that are generated from landing attacks all have individual light sources. Neat! pic.twitter.com/kInVijqgqO

It’s been many, maaaaaannny years, but the enemy spawner is finally returning to a mainline Kirby title. Here’s an adorable tiny Nruff being generated into existence. Also, it’s pretty obvious, but this area is actually Dedede’s Castle. pic.twitter.com/NdtpnyeLwS

The Friend Train is a direct reference to the Pupupu Train lineup, which was also developed for Kirby’s 25th anniversary. The one in Star Allies is even roped together through some magical sparkle rope thing. pic.twitter.com/fq7orzUsit

It seems that enemies can drop the hats, similar to how Kirby created them in Super Star. Also, the bottom of the Warp Star features a heart insignia. pic.twitter.com/oFMaPBUXcU

The water helper, Driblee, floats with a tube…yet the tube is underwater. Also, Driblee’s design was revamped from E3. pic.twitter.com/WvwDQzP6BN

Pop Flowers are returning. It’s not exactly told from this one, but it’s likely that they’re once again based on the level theme. pic.twitter.com/8rfsptDhd3

Propeller returns, no longer mechanized from Planet Robobot. pic.twitter.com/ct4IGQ8wZF

The star that usually pops out when Kirby lands isn’t present. It’s unlikely to return at this point, given that it hasn’t been in any game since Robobot. pic.twitter.com/I1JH7iFTeZ
