The usually tight pre-Direct ship of Nintendo appears to have sprung a leak.

A new listing on Nintendo's Japanese language game schedule has revealed an unannounced Kirby game. Roughly translated to "Discovery of the Stars", the game is slated for a spring 2022 launch in Japan.

The link to the page itself goes to a "page not found" message, though there is a better than average chance that will change following the Direct. The same schedule page has also added Bayonetta 3 to the 2022 list with Splatoon 3 and the sequel to Breath of the Wild.

Makes sense. Nintendo seems to like releasing Kirby games in the early months of a year. Star Allies was March, Rainbow Curse was February, and Triple Deluxe was May.
Whoever said, "Cheaters never win" must've never met Khushrenada.

Makes sense. Kirby games are what Nintendo makes when they need to put out a game, but don't want to spend any money on level designers; modelers; or artists. Take the last game, rearrange a few assets, maybe slap on a visual filter or a new gimmick that's only used a few times, and you're good to go. Nintendo could probably create a new Kirby game completely by AI at this point, and you'd probably never notice a difference.

Edit: Well...this aged well. Guess Nintendo decided after 20+ years that they should finally do something new with Kirby.

There was a Signature here. It's gone now.
