Kirby: Planet Robobot – Website update (more concept-art)
Update
A quick update: the official website for Europe is now open! It’s pretty much a copy of the Japanese website, but in English (and various other European languages).

Today, Nintendo updated the official website for Kirby: Planet Robobot in Japan, revealing additional details and some concept-art. First, Susie show us some pictures of 4 areas in the game:
- Plain Proptom
- Rasterd Road
- Octarn Ocean
- Gigant Ground
By the way, if you take the first letter of each name, you get a special word.
Next, we have some additional concept-art, showing some of the areas planned for the game:
- Skeleton Kanno: a rather imposing facility (which sort of looks like a giant screw) can be found there. There’s also a plain with trees inside lightbulbs, and an area with drink cans as reservoirs;
- Mustache Ohta (most like a reference to Otha Jidosha, a (now defunct) automotive manufacturing company, which used to be one of the largest in Japan, back in the 1930s). There’s what seems to be a factory, but also a plain with massive mixers (sucking up the natural ressources), and forks as electric poles. The theme for that area was Steampunk;
Finally, there’s the very first piece of concept-art that was drawn for the game (seen at the top of this post).
Here’s the artworks and concept-art from the website:
The next update will be about the Hartman Works Company, it seems! There will be 5 of them in total.
Finally, if you’re interested in some Kirby-related activities (for yourself or your kids), make sure to check out the North American website!
Kirby: Planet Robobot (3DS) comes out on June 10th in Europe and North America.
