Nintendo and HAL Laboratory announced Goodbye! BoxBoy! last week. Now in its latest issue, Famitsu shares first details about the game.

Goodbye! BoxBoy! doesn’t make any radical changes to the series’ core mechanics. Just like the last two games, you’ll need to complete levels by creating boxes.

Qbby will have some new abilities this time around. One of these is the Box Rocket, allowing players to rise above from the ground. HAL Laboratory is also introducing the Box Bomb. Using this lets Qbby destroy objects such as spikes.

Nintendo announced Goodbye! BoxBoy! yesterday, and opened a teaser site here. If you watch the little animation for just a short while, you’ll notice that Kirby appears. What’s up with that?

Kirby and BoxBoy! are made by the same developer. Is this just HAL Laboratory having some fun, or will Kirby be showing up in some fashion?

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Nintendo has made a flurry of new announcements pertaining to the BoxBoy! franchise today.

First, Goodbye! BoxBoy! is in the works for 3DS. We don’t have too much information yet, but a teaser site is located here. It’s coming out on February 2 for 680 yen.

Here’s some gameplay:

A BoxBoy! Qbby amiibo is also launching on February 2. It’s said to unlock secrets, though the specifics are currently under wraps. It will be included in a limited retail package containing all three games along with an official soundtrack for 3,456 yen. The OST will contain 34 pieces from the series.

Nintendo updated the Japanese Kirby: Planet Robobot website once again today with more art. This time, we have a look at various mechanization gimmicks.

The site also contains some talk about the soundtrack. After initially hearing the Haltmann Works Company theme, director Shinya Kumazaki gave an order to composer Hirokazu Ando to “add more weight to make it feel like an evil giant corporation”, so he made a new version. However, it might have felt a bit too “heavy” when it was redone. From there, Ando received feedback to “make it feel more like a more unknown invader” for the final result.

HAL Laboratory has announced that a two-disc soundtrack for Kirby: Planet Robobot will be launching in Japan next month. It’ll include 97 different tracks. Additionally, three illustration cards (six on both sides) are being packed in.

Japanese retailers will carry the Kirby: Planet Robobot soundtrack beginning on December 15. Pricing is set at 3,000 yen.
