New Kirby game idea time!

One of my greatest wishes is to see a Kirby RPG, preferably developed by Intelligent Systems, done in a Paper Marioesque fashion. (Not necessarily done with a paper theme, but just a bright, pop art esthetic.)

The partners and the animal buddies would be your team mates. And the hats, so many hats, would be used for field actions to progress in the game. (Making ice block bridges, yo-yoing switches, lighting torches, etc, etc, etc.)

They could even hijack the RPG "system" from The Great Cave Offensive, though I think they could probably do something more in-depth than that.

It practically makes itself.

[Dragoon En Regalia]

I haven't played enough Kirby games to decide which boss I prefer the most. But Nightmare was a decent, challenging romp.

A Kirby action-platformer JRPG could be interesting, and there's always been a lot of potential for fleshing out the Kirby universe ever-further.

[Drago]

A Kirby RPG made by AlphaDream or Intelligent Systems would be the best game ever.

It needs to happen.

[Kangi]

Kirby MMO. Choose your color of Kirby, then go out into the world. Copy abilities will be your "classes", and you can optimize them as you please, yet still switch whenever you feel like it. Warp stars will be your mounts, with special warp stars later on like the ones from Air Ride.

I remember someone on KRR (fansite) was making an RPG... wonder how that went...

Anyways, I like your idea.

Agreed! Put it on 3DS and I'll buy it at a high price!!

[Gunloc]

Or maybe the animal friends/buddies (do they have an official moniker?) could be your "summons" and modes of transportation.

Kine can be your "submarine", Coo your "airship", Rick & Nago could by used to run on the overworld faster, Pitch could serve as a delivery bird, and Chuchu can uh... fly into space on her magic broom?

[Synless]

Was the one on the Wii any good? I haven't had a chance to pick it up yet. I guess I should ask, how is it compared to other Kirby games?

If you're talking about Epic Yarn, it was great, but it isn't anything like normal Kirby games. It's really cheap nowadays ($20 I think) so it is definitely worth a purchase.

If you're talking about Return to Dreamland, I've never played it, but I've heard great things about that one also.


also, I see that my Epic Yarn music suggestions made it into the OP. B^)

Return to Dreamland was the one I was referring to, though I forgot Epic Yarn which I haven't tried yet either.

[DeviousAngel]

It is fantastic, in my opinion. It's old school kirby from head to toe. Beautiful and cheerful visuals, great music (very kirby-like), lots of powers to choose from, INSANE multiplayer, and, while a little easy at first, very challenging later on. Plenty of content for a kirby game too.

Then again, I'm biased :3

[JokerOfSpades]

I'm going to agree that it's amazing. So many times when I play it, I think "this game is fun distilled"! I personally love it.

I personally found it pretty poor.

Make it a giant Metrodvania, a bit like Maple Story.

[JokerOfSpades]

Figures. Only fangames I currently enjoy are Super Mario Bros. Crossover (IDK if they added Kirby yet) and Super Smash Flash 2.

[The Awesomest]

Make it a giant Metrodvania

Great Cave Offensive or Amazing Mirror + choosing your power like Milky Way Wishes or Squeak Squad

A gift for you, Kirby. Hope you like it :3

This picture plus your avatar are both amazing~

Thank you <3
I love drawing anything Kirby. No restrictions when it comes to colour.

Wait, you drew that?

That's incredible! Great work, DA.

[Ultimadrago]

A gift for you, Kirby. Hope you like it :3

You illustrated this?

Do I have permission to save it?

It's good stuff!

[dragonlife]

I love the "Oh, god, this feels sooooo goooood" look some of the eyes have to them. It's a pretty damn cool drawing, DA.

[DeviousAngel]

Of course! This thread's for sharing Kirby media after all.

And thank you all for your kind words! It's always good to unwind by doing some fan-art. It's a nice break from the usual stuff I do at work :P

[TheOGB]

Damn son, that is hot

[Drago]

Hahaha! Omg it's true!
I was trying to capture what I remembered from this scene when the dark star was destroyed:

You can kinda see the eyes "writhe?" in pain. But you know what, I think I like your take on it better XD

Nice work.

Do you have a higher res version of this?
My desktop is too big for this masterpiece.

[GimMick]

That art is a work of wonder !!

[Octagon]

I just paid off my Hoshi no Kirby 20th anniversary collection. :)

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Awwwwwwww shit son, that's some awesome artwork. Good job on that.

[DeviousAngel]

Do you have a higher res version of this? My desktop is too big for this masterpiece.

Sure. What size do you want? I'll send you a PM.

[Jeeves]

Oh my goodness, that's great. And the resolution matches one of my computers. As long as you're offering higher resolutions, could I get this in 1600x900 for my other one? Again, fantastic work. EDIT: I guess that would be asking you to stretch it out. Oh well.

I think one of my favorite things about the Kirby series is all the creative elements to it. The art and music in pretty much all of the games just set my imagination ablaze like few other games can. Though I don't have the artistic talent to put that energy to good use, it's nice to see the games having a similar effect on other people.

[YoungBlade]

I remember being addicted to Nightmare in Dreamland, it was just so awesome.

[branny]

What are the fastest Kirby games (aside from the spinoffs like Air Ride)? Is it Adventure and Nightmare in Dream Land? Would that include the Amazing Mirror, too?

I'm not thinking about abilities (Wheel...) so much as things like dash speed, jump distance, and how quickly you can slide spam.

I've only played the more popular games, so I'm curious.

I tried my best to fit it to widescreen, for those of you who wanted it.



Had to play with it a bit. I hope it's fine.

And I agree with everything you said about the series. I can only imagine how much fun Sakurai and the gang have just brainstorming the levels, art direction, music.

EDIT: If you guys need other dimensions just PM me. I fel bad for spamming the thread with giant images :P

[Jeeves]

Ahh, thanks a bunch.

I've been playing Kirby's Pinball Land, and having a pretty tough time actually moving up in the tables. Don't know about you guys.

Super Star is the most notably-quick mainline game. The slowest is Kirby 64, in terms of running speed and game progression

I remember being addicted to Nightmare in Dreamland, it was just so awesome.

Dude: play Adventure. It's my favorite Kirby game, and the music sounds better in the original.

[Jeeves]

I agree that the audio and graphics are more "punchy" in Adventure, in a good way. And I already mentioned it, but the 3D Classics version is pretty hot!

[Dragoon En Regalia]

True story. I'll get to purchasing that 3D Classics version in due time. The most important Kirby game in my life.

[branny]

Super Star is the most notably-quick mainline game. The slowest is Kirby 64, in terms of running speed and game progression

Oh, wow. Really? I should go back and compare again because it seemed like Kirby's horizontal movement was a little worse in Super Star and Ultra without copy abilities. It could just be the jumping or me remembering poorly... I do need that 3D Classics version. :P

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Adventure/Nightmare was pretty fast, too. It'd be interesting to see a comparison. Both Adventure and Super Star control very well, and I don't know why the developers slowed both Dream Land 3 and 64 so much.

[Lionel Mandrake]

SuperStar and Dreamland 3 are two of my favorite games of all time.

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Cool beans, man. I've played a good deal of both.

[DeviousAngel]

SuperStar and Dreamland 3 are two of my favorite games of all time.

Awww yeah. Lots of memories. Dream Land 3 has some of the best music in the series IMO.

[Jeeves]

I used my 3DS to pay tribute to another eyeballed Kirby boss:


Video

Pretty much just copied his Canvas Curse art, though I did add an extra touch to the spikes.


Then I messed around a little afterwards >_>:


Video


Colors 3D is a pretty swell app!

[The Awesomest]

I love that he was designed with spikes. Like, you can totally see the thought process behind it. "Hey, Kirby receives damage when he touches an enemy, right? Well, why would he receive damage from a fluffy cloud? Let's add spikes to it!"

[Zeer0id]

amaaazing art, guys *__*

[Electivirus]

Replaying Epic Yarn for the 5th time, and oh my god it's still fantastic. Incredibly adorable, kickass music, a gorgeously crafted (pun totally intended) art style, and some really inventive platforming throughout. A feel good (pun intended again) game throughout. Definitely still my favorite Kirby game. <3
