To be more specific, it was actually one of THREE Kirby games that HAL was working on during the GameCube era that never got completed. Here's the story:
As for that 11-year gap between home console Kirby games, right after Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, we immediately began working on a new Kirby game. That was during the time of the Nintendo GameCube system, and screen shots were shown at the E3.
But after that, it never got updated, and I'm sure some people would wonder and ask, "Whatever happened to that?" To some, it had become an object of mystery.
Actually, there are three lost Kirby games. The first one is the one that pictures were shown of at E3. It was a Kirby game based on the concept of four-person simultaneous gameplay. That was when I learned how difficult it is to make a game that is both multi-player and single-player.
(Originally supposed to be released in late 2003)
The second one was an experiment with extremely challenging gameplay that placed Kirby in 3D space and allowed players to freely move around. But unfortunately, we weren't able to achieve the quality we hoped for and it never reached completion.
The third one involved an animated Kirby sort of like a pop-up book. We renewed the Copy Abilities, and tried to power it up. We spent 11 years making and abandoning these three games.
During that time, screen shots were shown and release dates went unannounced for a long time. Then the Nintendo GameCube system changed to the Wii console. Miyamoto-san says that video games are something you never really complete. It's hard when a game simply refuses to come together.
We wanted to bring it out when the fans wanted, but the movement wouldn't feel right or we wanted to deliver more of a surprise to the fans, and we couldn't bring one out in final form. We experienced that difficulty for 11 years.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Well, Nintendo recently listed BD with a 2014 release date, but today BD's official twitter said it would be out in 2013 in Europe. So.... confusion abounds.
Release-list by Nintendo. So yeah, confirmed.

Well, since E3 I really only ever hope for one announcement:
Prime 4 done by Retro... so I'm going to wait for years if not forever.

People are still hyping themselves for Nintendo Directs? Especially after the E3 comedy? Wow...
Virtually every single high profile Nintendo first party game is now announced through a Nintendo Direct.
One slightly disappointing ND makes the other from this year, not to mention the one from 2 weeks ago, no longer good? The vast majority of these are very good in one way or another.

What if the announcement is followed by "and Mercury Steam will be our new Castlevania provider"?
Because they bought them.
Anyway, any time I get to see Iwata's hair I am a happy monkey.
Even graying that man has style.
Perfection.

What comedy???
You mean the terrible stream quality???
It's Nintendo and new news on games.
It's not like they show new footage or have new news on games every day.
I like this one lol
Nintendo had already played many of their cards in a number of other amazing NDs, and the E3 ND was only even marginally disappointing because people weren't very receptive to 3D World and Tropical Freeze. I think it's reasonable to be excited.

All I care about this year is Mario Golf and Zelda:LBW.
Hopefully they say something about one or both

I will never get the negative reception to 3D World. TF I get. I wanted Retro working on something that put their artistic talents to full use. Instead we got a look at a pretty, but not astounding DKC.
You also care about TW101. You better not question it.

That would be mine.
But it's only a matter of time before people see the crazier later levels and are glad they are making this game.
Out of all the developers, I think they deserve the benefit of "doubt".

I mean last time I checked, some major sites even made fun of Nintendos super secret that they had at E3...which was the Wii fit girl in smash bros. But when it came to the E3 Direct itself, people were expecting SO much because they didn't have a big conference so the DIrect(s) HAD to be good...which was not.
I play games on Nintendo platforms regularly, but many people I know were disappointed myself included.

Do the directs usually show up the same day on the Wii u eshop or just "whenever". I won't get to see it live.

I thought it was very good.
No surprises but high quality titles.
Most of the games shown look like "9" games to me.

GBA 3DS VC? Account system?
lol, what am I saying. I'm not getting hyped for this because I will be inevitably and woefully disappointed.
