Nintendo is aware that we are waiting for Switch 2. That won’t stop them from continuing to treat their current console, the original Switch, like a queen. And they have reasons for it. We’re talking about a console that continues to sell like hotcakes. Despite its limitations, it remains perfect for many people out there. And no matter how the data changes at Sony, it seems destined to surpass the PlayStation 2.

An (old) new Kirby arrives on Nintendo Switch

That’s why it should not surprise us that Nintendo has plans to release more games for Nintendo Switch before the launch of its successor. Because according to Nate the Hate, the insider with the highest accuracy regarding Nintendo, we would have a new Kirby game on the way. Specifically, one from 3DS.

Because according to information from this insider, a port or remaster of Kirby: Planet Robobot would be the last major game for the Nintendo Switch. This Kirby game, released in 2016 for the Nintendo 3DS, is a 2D action platformer featuring our favorite pink ball as the protagonist. With a particularity. In this game, Kirby will have to take control of a mecha not only to progress through the levels and defeat his rivals, but also to solve puzzles.

How the gameplay of Kirby: Planet Robobot will adapt to Nintendo Switch is a complete mystery because it is a game that takes advantage of the possibilities of its native console. That is, the 3D. All the game stages have at least two levels of depth, taking advantage of the depth of field created by the 3D to create two very distinctive distances. And while it can be transferred as is, without touching anything, one of the great visual and aesthetic effects of the game would be lost.

Although it is yet to be officially confirmed that Kirby: Planet Robobot will come to Nintendo Switch, with Nate the Hate’s track record, it is wise to give him a vote of confidence. He has rarely been wrong. And considering Kirby: Planet Robobot, one of the best games in the Kirby franchise, it wouldn’t surprise us if Nintendo decides to bring it back for a larger audience. And now, even more receptive to good old Kirby.
