Kirby Wii Mascot Figures. Yes, more Nintendo figure news. While I may not have been the biggest fan of Return to Dreamland, there’s no denying that it’s got some cuuuute Kirbies in it, and I find the prospect of having a 50mm version of one on my desk pretty appealing.
These will be out next month in Japan, and as usual, I’m sure an importer will pick them up soon. Whip Kirby! Uh, that was an exclamation of excitement about the Kirby with the whip ability. Not a command.

tags / figures / gaming / jc / kirby / takara tomy / imports / toysTrailer for 3D Classics: Kirby’s Adventure. Freakyforms isn’t the only interesting item on the Western eShop today — in Europe at least, there’s this first video for the 3D-fied version of 1993 NES platformer Kirby’s Adventure.
I’m really excited to see this coming to the 3DS, but I’m also disappointed with the less than ideal windowed presentation that we also saw for 3D Classics: Twinbee. The 3D Classics releases for Excitebike, Urban Champion, and Xevious were full-screen affairs, so why not this one? Should we expect the same treatment for Kid Icarus?

(NSFW…) “Heart Italian Charm Watch of King Dedede Drooling While Eating.” So, uh, Sears is offering a bunch of items with this creepy fanart of what I’m pretty sure is Kirby’s King Dedede gettin’ it on with a Waddle Dee (mosaic effect added by me). You can get this watch, or a digital camera case, or a messenger bag, or poker chips, etc. Apparently these have been for sale since 2010!
The art comes from a Furaffinity user named StormDragonBlue (warning! link leads to a Furaffinity gallery). It looks like Sears offers various goods based on user-uploaded images, like a Zazzle or a CafePress sort of deal. Someone uploaded this particular art, and the result is this instant meme.

Whoa, remember the Wii’s Nintendo Channel? How, like, you could load up DS demos to stream to your system via Download Play? Well, while we were all busy forgetting about it (and I don’t mean this in a “hurr dust off your Wii” way, only that the Nintendo Channel demo service got into a rut for a really long time), Nintendo has posted a demo of Kirby: Mass Attack.
This is definitely the kind of game that benefits from a demo; after all, you might like Kirby games, but that’s no guarantee you’re going to like a side-scrolling action-strategy game thing.

Kirby: Mass Attack’s North American boxart. Angry American Kirby is back!
I don’t think this boxart is bad, aside from the angry Kirby; it’s colorful, and it’s got Kirbies all over the damn place. But, as usual, it’s not as magical as the Japanese boxart:
This one’s got Angry Kirby too, but he’s not quite as front-and-center, and there aren’t as many Angry Kirbies.

Watching this, I realize that the action/strategy game to which it bears the closest resemblance is my beloved Little King’s Story. Something about the way the crowd of little guys tears up the landscape in a flurry of activity reminds me of that game more than it does, say, Pikmin.
So I’m probably going to like it.

Lovely music from Kirby Mass Attack. I don’t know how I missed this song from the sidescrolling strategy game’s E3 2011 trailer, but it’s a charming tune. It sounds like what you’d hear if the Lollipop Guild got back together to put down a new track and welcome you to Mass Attack land.
Speaking of Kirby Mass Attack, Nintendo updated its official Japanese site to add new gameplay/system clips.

The 13 x 9 cm cases are available in two colors and have a zippered compartment in the back. It’s probably too tight a fit for a Nintendo 3DS, but I’m sure you can stuff all sorts of other junk in there. The DKCR soundtrack CD includes 25 tracks — see them all (in Japanese) here!

A group of Nintendo dudes riding the subway. Unfortunately, the only name I’ve seen to credit this art to is the white “Vicki” inscription on the bottom right.
I’ve talked about subways a lot here lately, and I’m not sure why! Cincinnati (the uneventful city I call home) doesn’t even have anything resembling a decent mass transit system. Anyway, subways are great because they give you an excuse to play with friends like Marth and Jigglypuff. You know, your true friends.
Seeing two Links on a train also reminds me that The Legend Of Zelda: Spirit Tracks releases in just over a month. How did that happen?

Flying Kirby papercraft. This piece from papercraft machinist ddi7i4d (responsible for the two animated Mario models) depicts the puffball in mid-flight, using a crank to control Kirby’s flapping arms. If, for some reason, you want to build it without the awesome interactivity, Nintendo Papercraft also offers a “Kirby only” version that doesn’t include the mechanism.
