Fans Suspect Classic 3DS Game Kirby: Planet Robobot Coming to Switch

The Nintendo Switch’s era might be nearing its end, but it’s not quite done yet when it comes to receiving new games. Upcoming titles like the “Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition,” a remaster of a Wii U game, are still on the horizon. Many Nintendo enthusiasts believe that this won’t be the only remaster for the system in 2023, as rumors swirl about a title initially launched on the 3DS – specifically, “Kirby: Planet Robobot,” which debuted in 2016. The anticipation around this potential remaster is particularly high due to its popularity among fans.

Good Smile Company has declared that it will reintroduce several Kirby Nendoroid figures from its past catalog, allowing fans to pre-order them through various outlets. Specifically, the Robobot armor is being reissued, with options for purchasing it individually or as a set including a Kirby figure. Since “Kirby: Planet Robobot” was launched nine years ago, some are questioning whether a Switch remaster might soon be announced due to this timing. Whispers of a remaster have been swirling since last December, and this announcement may lend additional weight to these rumors.

It’s not unreasonable to expect an updated version of “Kirby: Planet Robobot” in the near future. When it initially launched on the Nintendo 3DS, it was met with positive reviews, and even made ComicBook’s list of anticipated remasters for the Nintendo Switch. Given that many developers are currently focusing their efforts on the Nintendo Switch 2, a remaster of a popular Kirby game could be a strategic move to bolster the current system’s library. Additionally, it would provide more players with the opportunity to experience this beloved title.

Historically, Nintendo Direct presentations have typically occurred in February. However, Nintendo has only confirmed an April Direct, centered around the Nintendo Switch 2. Speculation suggests that there might be a presentation this month, focusing on upcoming games for the existing platform. This could provide an opportunity for Nintendo to brief fans about titles like “Metroid Prime 4,” and potentially reveal details on unannounced projects. If these rumors hold true, it would be an ideal moment for Nintendo to announce a remaster of “Kirby: Planet Robobot.”

There’s a chance that Good Smile is simply re-releasing its Kirby: Planet Robobot figure, without any plans for a Nintendo Switch remaster. Yet, given the timing and past rumors, it’s understandable why fans might find this coincidental. Since the launch of Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe two years ago, fans of the series have been eagerly waiting for new updates or releases, so let’s hope they get something exciting soon!
