Kirby's animated TV series will soon be available via the Wii in Germany.

Starting later this month, Germany will receive a free Kirby TV Channel via the Wii Shop Channel.

This channel features Kirby's animated TV show, which started back in 2004. At launch, 4 episodes will be available, with a new episode being added every two weeks.

It is not known as to whether or not this channel will be released in other European countries.

I'd imagine there are licensing problems in the US with the bankrupt 4kids or whoever holds the rights to the Kirby cartoon or the English translations of the Kirby cartoon.
Or maybe there's just no interest in Nintendo's part in bringing over the Kirby cartoon to the US (again).
