Kirby Wii is coming... Aparently...

[Super Cheesio]

So yeah, yet again, Nintendo have said that there's gonna be a new Kirby home console game named Kirby of the Stars. It's not actually confirmed to be a US and UK release, but it probably will be released there. The question is, will they actually release this? I swear they mentioned a new Kirby home console game many years ago...  

[Waynebrizzle]

They have mentioned a new one. It's probably the same game, in all honesty. It's probably changed a lot, though.

Linky? Any new Kirby information is good to me. I still don't think he shines as brightly on home consoles, but I could be proven wrong. This game has been in the works for a long time and I just really hope that it still has four player co-op play with stacking. That s**t looked awesome. Maybe now it'll have online play too? One can dream.

LOL GET IT DREAM

It's some pretty old footage that looks a lot like a brawl mod, or something.

It's ancient, though.

Possibly a hoax.

Saw that a while back. Seems pretty legit.

That's real, and it was shown a long time ago, at E3, I believe, before the Revolution was even announced. It's legitimate, and since this trailer nothing new for this game has shown up.

I was just making sure there was no new information besides that. xd

Kirby is one of a few of Nintendo's main stars that has yet to appear in his own Wii game. He featured in Super Smash Bros. Brawl but the last time he played the lead role on a home console was in 2004 racing game Kirby's Air Ride.

You have to go back to 2001 for his last appearance in an adventure game - Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.

...wow, that long? And how many Mario/Metroid/Zelda games have come out since then?

Yeah, but how many Kirby games have come out for handhelds in that time? Kirby was born a handheld mascot, and that's how he lives on today. Granted, I'd love to see a new console game; the handheld games are great.

What I'd like to see is the first proper 3D Kirby adventure. As in being free to move around as you wish in a full 3D environment like 3D Mario games. To be honest I've had enough 2D Kirby.

I just don't know what a 3D Kirby would add, but yeah, I agree.

A 3D-styled Kirby would be startling for most. But given by Sakurai's generally excellent track record, we can expect great things.

But Sakurai founded Sora so he didn't have to make Kirby sequels.

Kirby of the Stars? Isn't that just the Japanese name for the Kirby games?

Also, i'd love to see a new Kirby adventure. There's just something i really like about its setting and characters.

Not a hoax, just a canceled project. Nintendo didn't think it would be lucrative enough, somehow. I was furious when they did cancel it. Dreamland 3 art style, Crystal Shards 2.5D platform, Superstar engine. Was gonna be phenomenal.

Edit: Four player, as well!
