Kirby: Planet Robobot Ask-a-thon - Round 1 Hi everyone, it took us a while to set up but now it's finally time to kick off the Kirby: Planet Robobot Ask-a-thon! And here to answer your questions is the man himself, Kirby: Planet Robobot's director Shinya Kumazaki! |

Hello! Shinya Kumazaki here. Honestly, I’m amazed at the tremendous number of questions we’ve received from Japan, the Americas and Europe. Naturally I can’t answer them all, but I’m hoping I can give you at least some of the answers you’re looking for. Mr Ishida, please fire away! | |

All right, let’s get started. Here’s the first question: How did you decide upon ‘Kirby: Planet Robobot’ for the game title? | |

Initially, we’d planned to call it “Kirby: HAGANE” (“hagane” is Japanese for “steel”), but as Popstar would be populated by robots, we then leaned towards “Kirby: Robot Planet”. As titles go, this was far too literal and lacked impact, so we changed it again to “Roborobo Planet”. One last tweak and the result was “Planet Robobot”, which is in keeping with the playfulness of the Kirby universe. The name for the “Robobot Armor” also came up around this time. |
