Some have wondered if this was going to be "open world", I never was under such illusions, and I don't think every game needs to be open world. I adore Elden Ring, but I also still enjoy more linear platformers, and this "Super Mario 3D Land" style game looks like just the kind of high concept thing to gnaw on.
In the past, Kirby games have really pushed system hardware. Kirby's Adventure on NES is still one of the best looking games on that system. Kirby's Dreamland 2 pushes the Super Gameboy's coloring to it's absolute limits. Kirby Super Star uses that amazing SA-1 chip to play without any slowdown and looks amazing. Kirby's Dreamland 3 uses strange sub-pixel and pseudo-high res to great effect. But, frankly where we are today, Kirby games don't need to push graphical boundaries to look good, and this game does look good.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
