Hey, anyone in Japan want to buy me some Kirby magnets in late March?
You can have the gum if you want.

Kirby’s Dream Collection commercials. I didn’t realize Kirby was supposed to be so enormous! Seeing him in real life makes the games terrifying in retrospect. Dedede must be like 20 feet tall. Each Waddle Dee is the size of a hippo.

Kirby-themed playing cards, which I totally want and may not be able to get. These cute Kirby-shaped (or just circular, if you prefer) cards are available through a Club Nintendo contest. You have to register a copy of Kirby’s Dream Collection to enter.
Why do I want playing cards? I never play card games, not with my Pac-Man cards, or my Mega Man X cards…

Kirby 20th Anniversary medal, available from Club Nintendo in the US. There are only 1,000 of these, and Club Nintendo tends to have supply issues for popular products so… it’s probably sold out by now. Yup.

536 Kirby fans set a world record at PAX, by blowing bubble gum bubbles simultaneously.
Okay that’s great, but LOOK AT THOSE KIRBY SHIRTS. Nintendo handed pink Kirby face shirts out to some of the attendees, and I wasn’t one of them because I’m at home.
Also among things I didn’t get from Nintendo: sets of over 400 Kid Icarus AR cards, given to winners of an Uprising tournament at the event.

Daaaang.

Even on his North American eShop page, Kirby is angry. It’s your 20th anniversary, dude, it’s alright to smile.

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.

Trailer 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.

Japanese Kirby: Mass Attack commercial. After some initial skepticism, I liked my E3 demo of this game, but couldn’t quite get a handle on what it reminded me of.
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.
