Coming soon
I agree that Epic Yarn didn't really feel like a Kirby game. I mean, it originally wasn't even going to be a Kirby game, so this new Kirby is the first "true" Kirby game for the Wii in a way.

Not actually that important
Holy Cow the new (old)Kirby trailer looks flat out AMAZING

Heh, apparently HAL made a casual JP Wii game back in 2008:

Haven't you ever played Mario Galaxy? Flicking the remote registers instantaneously. If you press A and shake the remote at the same time, then he usually spins before jumping. (Though you can't actually see him spin if you do this since the jump cancels it out, but you can hear the whoosh sound to confirm that the game registered the spin before the jump.) Anyway, even if you haven't played it or a game with a similarly fast motion response time, I still don't see why you would think it would take any longer to register than flicking the touch screen, which worked perfectly in the DS game.Boney said:

Flicking the wii remote is far quicker than flicking the pen on the DS screen, which requires you to sort of learn when to let your pen leave the screen, etc.
Play the drum test on Wii Music and you'll see that there is not going to be a problem with wii remote shakes for rhythm tengoku wii. It would be a shame for them not to use it - the physical action will actually connect you to the music and the other players much more than an invisible thumb press.

I just want a Kirby Super Star epic sequel with some adjustable difficulty levels and amazing soundtrack.
I'm not sure why this is a shock to anyone. It was pretty obvious that certain games (COUGHOoTCOUGH) were held back so they could give 3rd parties some room, as well as have a title to make the hardcore pick it up later if they were holding back on launch shenanigans.Iwata said:

Interesting to see Nintendo pick up Just Dance. Huge hit just got huger?
Nintendo has been really vague with release dates lately so I guess something like thisDrkirby said:YAY KIRBY WII
Now when does it come out?
Somewhat near Zelda Skyward Sword after Pandora's Tower is out but in between the launch window of Ocarina of Time 3D past june 2011 in the first half quarter of the current fiscal century.

I dont know about Kirby. I want to be hype, but the game has been in development for so goddamn long I cant help but think it's had some serious development issues and at this point Nintendo just want to push it out. Hopefully I'm wrong.
Otherwise, I fucking wish Nintendo would show something for the Wii soon. Zelda is the only game for the Western world they've got prepared, and at this rate we'll be waiting until halfway through the year before we here anything more.

Don't worry! Disaster, Another Code R, Xenoblade, Fatal Frame 4, Fatal Frame 2 remake, The Last Story, Rhythm Tengoku, and Zengeki no Reginleiv will fill in the gaps.EatChildren said:
With so many Nintendo-published games on the way, the Wii's library is stronger than ever!

Hey, at least I got Disaster and Another Code R, and the Fatal Frame 4 fan translation

Of course, but its obviously built on the foundations of an otherwise dead project, which makes me worried as to why it didn't release earlier.

If it remains in Japan, it's meaningless. And knowing more about it would be considered a new form of torture.
Amir0x said:
like i dunno, a few minutes or an hour before we heard that the kirby gc game was finally coming out as this wii thing, i made a comment about how monado/xenoblade was going to be quietly removed from the upcoming wii release list like kirby was. the fact that they're still calling it monado:subtitle makes me think the game actually is on the way, because if kirby could teach a class, kirby could teach a class.

I think it'd be pretty shitty if they didn't release Monado/Xenoblade here considering it was announced first in America, but they did that for Disaster too.AniHawk said:
I'll maintain a healthy balance of caution and optimism over Xenoblade and Last Story being released here.

Not all games that have storied development histories are bad.
Look at Half-Life 2 or Team Fortress 2, for example.

They call the Kirby game part of the Kirby's Dream Land series.
Is it just a general name for the whole series to them (like the English way of saying Hoshi no Kirby/Kirby of the Stars?) or could it actually be like Kirby's Dream Land Returns?

Fuck yeah Nintendo. A real Kirby game! Not Kirby thrown into someone else's game! ^_^
Vinci said:
I don't know about LttP, but don't expect Link's Awakening. First, I wouldn't expect Nintendo to put a handheld game on a home console compilation. Second, the game is a launch release (along with Super Mario Land) for the 3DS Virtual Console. They're not gonna release two versions at the same time.
I hope they pull a Kirby with this one and keep a New Legend of Zelda somewhere in case Skyward Sword doesn't perform well enough.

It's a shame that it's only Nintendo platformers and remakes of slightly obscure titles by small developers though. I mean, yeah, great, we got A Boy and his Blob, but when I'm told "side-scrolling platformers revival" that's not what I'm expecting. Plus that's a puzzle platformer, and we get way too many of those these days. I'd like old school action platformers. I bring it up every time, but I really wish Capcom would get back on the scene with, say, New Mega Man not talking about retro-revivals like MM9 and 10, instead of Legends 3 which nobody outside of a few GAFfers cares about anyway. Or what about some great licensed platformers like Aladdin and Duck Tales back in the day? Man, I could use a licensed Ghibli (that's right, Ghibli) action platformer

Sonic Colors was mostly a 2D game with 3D parts thrown in to take you to the next 2D part.
LBP and LBP2 are very obviously 2D platformers. Then there's a lot of handheld stuff.

Sweet, sweet Kirby.
Job hats!

AniHawk said:
From what I've seen, the 2D sections of Sonic Colours wouldn't appeal to me. Something about it feels sluggish/amateur. Glad you liked it though, looks like it's the most well-made 3D Sonic ever made. I wish they would do a proper sequel to Secret Rings though.
I didn't play LBP2, but I tried LBP: hate the controls, and it's not action-packed enough for my tastes. Kinda sad, the game is kinda cute!
I'd like those people who've made great platformers in the past try their hand once again (which is why I mentioned Capcom for instance). I don't want just nostalgia-fueled 8-bit style games or games with poor controls and things I never really cared for such as the level editor in LBP, or games that are made outrageously hard. I want some pure, unaduterated action-platforming packed full of actual platforming and/or enemies that actually pose a threat without it turning into a masochistic experience. Well, I guess I can tolerate a somewhat easy game not Kirby-easy, right if the rest is polished and well-made.

Mega Man Powered Up. Remade original levels, 2 extra levels, playable robot masters, 3 difficulty settings, 100 challenges, downloadable levels. Too bad it was left to rot in the PSP.
