Super Kirby Clash 'Aeon Hero' promo video and details shared to celebrate the game's one-year anniversary

Believe it or not, Super Kirby Clash is just about to celebrate its 1-year anniversary. In honor of the occasion, Nintendo and HAL have shared a special trailer and new info on Aeon Hero, one characters you can find in the game. Check out details from Super Kirby Clash general director Shinya Kumazaki below.

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.
