Kirby and the Hidden Kingdom

Kirby and the Hidden Kingdom is the next installment for the Kirby series set to apper on the Nintendo Switch after the previous game, Kirby Star Allies.

Gameplay

The gameplay is quite similar to previous games like the original Kirby Returns to Dreamland, Squeak Squad, Triple Deluxe, etc. Kirby is able to make his standard moves like jumping, running, swimming, inhaling, etc. With the inhale move, just like in almost all of the Kirby games, Kirby is able to swallow objects and enemies, so he can copy his opponents' abilities to use them. However, Kirby can lose an ability if requested or if enough damage is received. Kirby can also turn copy abilities into helpers. Only 2 helpers can be on the screen. And for the 1st time (2nd if including Planet Robobot), you get to play the game in 3D (Like 3D Mario games). All the levels are in 3D Items such as food, weapons, keys, etc will be returning. The health bar also returns.
