Its been almost a year since Super Kirby Clash released for Switch on September 4th, 2019. Nintendo and HAL Laboratory have been updating the game since then and to celebrate, they’ve released the special “Aeon Hero” video. Here are more details from General Director Shinya Kumazaki, courtesy of Nintendo Everything:
If you’ve played previous Kirby games, you may notice that this powerful character looks a bit familiar. For his design, we wanted him to have a different effect, but the designer also wanted this character’s armor to look heroic and reminiscent of his days as a champion.
Due to this character’s special appearance, the game director, Yumi Todo, requested that he not have a clear name. Instead, we was given the name “The Aeon Hero,” which sounds more like his title. We used a similar tactic when naming King D-Mind.
The Dark version of the Aeon Hero character appears as an online-exclusive hidden boss and has a different ending from other bosses. He may appear again someday… in another world.
