YES, finally, i've been waiting for a proper Kirby game on GC for ages. So this is what HAL's been up to.

edit: change IGN link to PGC, didn't notice PGC had the screens

I kind of regret not getting Kirby 64, but at least I can make up for it by getting this one! ^_^

(Hopefully they expand on the minigames that were in Kirby 64 and make more and better ones)

Yeah, I should of got Kirby 64 while I had the chance. Now it's GONE FOREVER. Oh well. I love the Kirby games, HAL rocks.

Did Nintendo send those shots? They look terrible. Considering that it's a common misconception that the Cube is graphically underpowered you figure that Nintendo would make an effort to provide high quality screenshots.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #4 on:** November 23, 2004, 05:36:48 PM »

Personally I think they look better than the new Zelda shots, but I'd think it's common knowledge to never trust screenies...

A fluffy pink blob isn't exactly aching for Resident Evil 4-levels of detail.

Caillan · « **Reply #6 on:** November 23, 2004, 05:48:00 PM »

Yeah, but they could at least make it look really nice fore the screenshots. An enemy Kiby has spat out bowling over a dozen others, each of which have their own little rainbow trail, all set in front of a waterfall with geometry, not just textures for its detail.

So why is it that Nintendo always waits to near the end of its console's life to release a real kirby game? This looks pretty cool, though.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #8 on:** November 23, 2004, 06:10:33 PM »

Come on, don't write off the GC as near its end, as there is still almost 2 years till the Rev comes out... :\

odifiend · « **Reply #9 on:** November 23, 2004, 06:13:56 PM »

Don't act like Kirby will be coming out tomorrow either...

I really hope HAL builds upon more elements from Kirby's Superstar this time.
The huge number of different attacks, and the 2-player helper system made Superstar easily my favourite co-op game of all time.

Mario · « **Reply #11 on:** November 23, 2004, 06:22:03 PM »

GC has barely been out for 3 years (only 2 years in PAL territories), it's hardly near the end of its life. All these games coming soon just re-enforce that statement.

Kirby games generally aren't graphical powerhouses, and I imagine this game looks better in motion.

I'm hoping that Waddle Dee(?) following Kirby so closely in that pic is some proof to Kirby GC being a kin to Kirby Superstar. That game was great. Hopefully we'll see some new powers in this Kirby.

The game looks 2 player to me! Thats all that matters in a kirby game!

kennyb27 · « **Reply #14 on:** November 24, 2004, 02:37:23 AM »

This makes me want to whip out the old 64 and play a little Kirby 64. What a great game...

notic · « **Reply #15 on:** November 25, 2004, 05:23:39 AM »

I dunno about this game. Kirby seems to look like he was just copied and pasted from SSBM

He's freakin sphere! What do you expect? Maybe Nintendo should be edgy and make him a cube?

Besides he doesn't look as good as he does in SSBM.

What's so bad about that? Reusing assets speeds updevelopment and many devs do that.

MaleficentOgre · « **Reply #18 on:** November 25, 2004, 08:24:32 AM »

How much is kirby going to change. You want hardcore oval kirby. There is no hardcore oval kirby I'm sorry. He a pink marshmello, I don't know why you're complaning. If it follows the greatness of its 64 predesessor then I'll be sold. Oh, and we've seen three screens, not enough to make judgements on.

joshnickerson · « **Reply #19 on:** November 25, 2004, 09:54:13 AM »

I'll probably get beat for saying this, but I'd like to see this Kirby game cel-shaded.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #20 on:** November 25, 2004, 11:28:29 AM »

I agree that the shots are a little underwhelming, but is that because of the shots Nintendo took, or because of the graphics? Some of the enemies look pretty low-poly and special effects are basically nonexistant (why aren't these guys self-shaded?).

Of course none of that matters once you get to actually play the game, but there's not much else to talk about when they just show you a bunch of screenshots. I think it would look cool cel-shaded.

How did I miss this?

That is the greatest Kirby-related pun ever.

*looks at screenname*

I'm excited.

Actually, I really, really hated Kirby 64. Too easy, and I think it should've made a similar 2D-3D transition to what Mario did...I'd like to see this as a free-roaming platformer...*patiently waits for Bill to express his die-hard fanboyism over what I just said*

MaleficentOgre · « **Reply #23 on:** November 26, 2004, 01:40:35 PM »

NO! just no. I like the way shards worked. Just make it more, and bigger, and harder, with more enemies and combos and moves that you can do. I want a 20 hour long kirby game. that's just me.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #24 on:** November 27, 2004, 04:24:29 AM »

Kirby wouldn't work in pure 3d...Ever... =P
