Not too bad looking.

I hope it's like Kirby 64, but with a challenge.

 

[soul.less]

Looks pretty good.

 

[Grubdog]

YES, finally! I've been waiting for this.

 

[cvxfreak]

Kirby GCN?

And I thought we'd get a KAR2 before KAdventure!

 

[missAran]

It's nice to see Nintendo really innovating... ugh. More Kirby please. Anyway, I guess another 2005 title for GCN is really a godsend, so I shouldn't be complaining.

 

[paul777]

So this is what Hal has been up to.

 

[Spiritreaver]

Finally, a new definitive Kirby game outside of the GBA. I'm definitely happy. While this is milked, hardly as much as any of Nintendo's other franchises, well worth it. My interest in the GC has been renewed.

 

[Ronin]

If it's as good as Kirby 64 but with upped difficulty, then I'm all over it.

 

[Tortfeasor]

None of those pics look even remotely in game...

 

[missAran]

So this is what Hal has been up to.

I'd prefer a Smash Bros. sequel myself. Oh well, hopefully this thing delivers.

 

[sprsk]

hell yes.

 

[king zell]

 

[PkunkFury]

Awesome, looks like a Smash Brothers side scroller!

 

[acklame]

50 hours

 

[duderon]

50 hours

That's 60 hours

Good to see Nintendo blowin its load tonight, about damn time some new games were announced.

 

[mCACGj]

I hope this isn't all that Hal is working on...I need a SSB game for the REVOLUTION!

 

[Mama Smurf]

HAL are pretty big (and expanded not so long ago), they can certainly work on multiple titles at once.

Of course they already are with this, Kirby DS and Mother 3, but even if that's the whole of HAL (and I'm far from convinced it is), they have plenty of time to get a Smash Bros. title ready for the Revolution.

 

[Doogdogg]

isn't hal making jump! stars for ds? thats a big game, really.

 

[GG-Duo]

SUCK IT DOWN!!!!!111

btw, I never realized that these guys have those cute beady eyes behind the goggles. Hrm.

[Kon Tiki]

Great, they just need a Starfy, Ice Climbers, and Kid Icarus game. Then they will have nothing else to milk, forcing them to make new IPs.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Oh you're right, I forgot about that one.

Actually, I'm not sure we know it's HAL, but it seems likely given that they made Smash Bros. So HAL have been pretty busy after all, which is good to know as we've barely heard from them since KAR.

 

[bitwise]

Not too bad looking.

I hope it's like Kirby 64, but with a challenge.

eh, its kirby on GC. you know there won't be.

i always liked kirby when i was a young'un

 

[Mama Smurf]

Great, they just need a Starfy, Ice Climbers, and Kid Icarus game. Then they will have nothing else to milk, forcing them to make new IPs.

In the last two generations, Nintendo have made Wave Race, 1080, Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Custom Robo, I think Pokemon came out around that time, Jam With The Band and Puppy Times, none of which are based on existing IPs.

 

[fse]

Looks hot.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Yay Kirby!

 

[BuddyC]

Awesome.

 

[Speevy]

Is it some sort of inside joke that some of you criticize Zelda (which looks awesome) and have no problem with this title. (which clearly looks like a Nintendo 64 game)

 

[GhaleonEB]

Dreamcast for evah!!

 

[Grubdog]

Kirby games aren't known to be a graphic powerhouses, nobody who plays them cares about the graphics, the games are just damn fun, and it will look fine in motion when you're playing it anyway.

Kirby 64 was a beautiful game, but I swear to god some of you guys are taking the piss tonight with all these N64 claims.

True, it's never going to be thought of as one of the best looking games, but everything so clean and sharp, I can't really bring myself to criticize it. It basically looks good enough for a Kirby game.

Strange screens though, I can't even tell how the game plays. I wouldn't mind seeing a truly 3D Kirby, but I still hope it's a sidescrolling platformer.

 

[firex]

so I take it this is going to play like a 2d title? that's cool, but I actually wish they would make a 3d kirby game sometime since it seems it would be easy to adapt the gameplay to 3d and open things up a lot more. Kirby's Super Star is one of my favorite SNES games (for something that feels like a mash of various minigames it's surprisingly high quality) so I'm actually interested in this GC game whether it's 2d or 3d gameplay.

 

[evilromero]

This is definitely one of the top Cube titles to watch for in 2005. Actually, Nintendo has the strongest line-up of games slated for next year if you throw in all the yet-to-be-released E3 2004 titles. Just Zelda, Star Fox and Kirby alone would be enough to clean the boards, but all of the niche titles like Konga 3, Jungle Beat, Chibi Robo, Mario Baseball, Geist, and Fire Emblem will be enough to easily satisfy Cube owners.

 

[Speevy]

Jungle Beat will blow Starfox away. That game doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Zelda.

 

[missAran]

It's refreshing to see Nintendo get aggressive again. I haven't seen this many titles announced in a while. I think this puts 2003's E3 to shame (where Pac-Man was the 'headlining' title).

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

I fucking SWEAR I will buy it at launch if it is more refined than Kirby 64 and has solid level design. I love Kirby. Guilty pleasure.

Looks like it could be a bit Mario 64-ish. If it is, then it might play a bit like Spyro :/

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

Just Zelda, Star Fox and Kirby .

I don't think Kirby is that big of a headlining name in the West.

 

[drohne]

i'm on this if it's a sidescroller. kirby 64 was damned fun. and damned cute.

 

[GaimeGuy]

A kirby RPG would rule, who agrees?

 

[BobbyRobby]

While it would probably rule, I'd rather see an Earthbound GCN, using the Wind Waker engine.

2005 is pretty stacked with Nintendo titles. I like.

 

[ourumov]

Someone needs to photoshop those pics with Kirby sucking all the money...

 

[Shin Johnpv]

that waterfall is actually kinda cool looking

 

[fse]

Kirby+Sucking+Blowing = Mature Nintendo

 

[AniHawk]

I was wondering when it would show up...

06-21-2004

I've heard NOTHING of a Yoshi platformer. Heard of a DK platformer back in 2002, and a Kirby platformer in 2003 (the DK platformer came true).

http://www.ga-forum.com/showthread.php?p=56460&highlight=Kirby#post56460

08-22-2004

A while ago I would have said Mother 3 (was recently revealed to be 60% complete), and the DK GC platformer (revealed to be DK:JB).

Now I wonder about Golden Sun GC and Kirby GC.

09-03-2004

Kirby GC should come out next year or 2006 too.

Fire Emblem GC: Rumored, came true
Paper Mario 2: Rumored, came true
DK GC platformer: Rumored, came true
Kirby GC platformer: Rumored, came true
Golden Sun/Camelot RPG: Rumored
Brownie Brown RPG: Rumored

Well, 4/6 aint bad.

 

[madara]

I dont understand your analogy at all guys with DK platformer. Again you mention this and I afriad you saying those Music games are platformers. Hardly seem fair to platformer fans to call them that. I guess Halo 3 with musical flute would still be FPS :lol

DK Jungle Beat?

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat is a platformer, not a music game.

I think we've gone through this already.

 

[Amir0x]

All I want is Earthbound, damn it. Earthbound!

Is that too much to ask, Nintendo?

 

[iapetus]

Kirby sucks.

 

[CrisKre]

Kirby sells :/
