sounds kinda like the Mario vs. DK series...i like it

3 Kirby games in 2 years? Wow.

The controls sound like...eh, never mind, I'll just wait for more info. Wonder what the American title will be called now. lol

If the individual Kirbies die, they will transform into angels and float up towards heaven unless you can direct another Kirby to fetch them in time.

That's the most heartbreaking thing I've ever heard. Those poor pink... whatever-they-are.

...I randomly started thinking of Yoshi's Island....OMG what if the Kirbies started crying? xD

ah why not for the 3DS?

(i know i can play DS games on it, too, but common you know what i mean)

The name reminds me of Wario Ware Inc.'s JP name

Sounds complicated o.o

this sounds like a really cool idea!

This looks kinda like Loco Roco.

It's like Lemmings meets Kirby. Freaky.

Sounds like Pikmin.

I miss the regular kirby games.

Sounds a bit like Mario vs DK 2 (and 3, and 4!)

Since I am not that fond of Mario vs DK 2 (it's not bad, but far from amazing), I hope this won't be the end-direction of the Kirby series. Imagine if all the Kirby's will be like this from now on: The horror!!

A well, I don't think that will happen. And Maybe it's to early to judge. Maybe this will be better then Mario vs DK 2.

Sounds like this sucks

But seriously, sounds interesting. I just couldn't miss an opportunity to use that pun.

I feel like Kirby likes to have too many types of games, and I can't wait to see how the more traditional kirby game plays on wii

Sounds like a Mario vs. Donkey Kong control scheme, but interesting notheless. I would actually like more information about Kirby Wii.

I don't know if I would like this one. I'll have to wait and see.

Bleh,sounds like a lemmings game. I loved Dodogo! challenge and the Mario Vs Donkey Kong one,but I think I've had my fill. I love Kirby and this game still has a while to go till it hits stores so it may turn out better then I'm expecting.

Sounds very interesting!

Can't wait to play this!
Because you can't ever have enough Kirby

I've had bad experiences with games where the controll sceme is only used through touch-screen. (....scribblenauts...) Hoping it also has D-pad controll.

@Sakeraf I've had some good experiences with touch-screen only games as well. I think it could go either way, depending on the dev team and what kind of effort and polish they want to put into it.

That said, it looks like the mixture of old-school sensibilities and something brand new and slightly innovative. The perfect match for a Kirby title. I'm very optimistic about it. Consider my interest piqued.

Did anybody catch the name of the team behind this possible sleeper hit? Or have they mentioned it yet?

I love how cool and innovative kirby games can be while still keeping a strong grasp of its original formula. Damn good work, HAL Labs.

is it wrong that i want the DS to die?

but yeah i'm still going to buy this.

Fun Fun Kirby game

Heck No! If i don't control my character whats the point?

Sounds like Kirby inhaled a couple of lemmings this morning...

Another DS game to get this year (hopefully THIS year) besides Spectre's Flute

Wait a minute... isn't there supposed to be a traditional kirby game coming to the Wii this year?

it is like mario vs donkey kong only with little pink puff balls

Yeah this sounds more like Lemmings then anything. Those came out before the Mario vs DK series.

Surprised Nintendo have made such a cute game with death references in it. Don't they usually hate putting anything that would be considered not family friendly into their games?

Not that I care or anything but thinking of Kirby dying is not what I consider a typical Kirby game...especially when Kirby's enemies are not really considered enemies as he/she has no grudge against them. :

Sounds interesting. Probably going to get this

too cute! looks like it could be fun though.

Great idea! I hope they're saving the traditional adventure Kirby game for the 3DS!

Wow even with the 3DS out, Nintendo is still putting some DS love to those who hadn't bought a 3DS yet. Hopefully they get Ninokuni and Dragon Quest Monsters 2 out before the end of the year too.

@Starlight Surprised? Not really. Family friendly? Only on the surface.

Have you ever played any of the Kirby's Dreamland series to completion? (that includes Kirby 64) I won't completely spoil it for anyone who hasn't, but they contained some of the most mildly disturbing imagery and implications this side of Ocarina of Time. ESPECIALLY Kirby 64 and Dreamland 3. Also Cupid Kirby was originally Angel Kirby in the Japanese release of Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, so there's at least a precedent to that.

Reminds me a lot of Docomodake for the DS. I hope it's good.

I've always found it too confusing to control multiple characters at once. The Ice Climbers are among my least favorite characters to play as in Smash Bros.

Kirby meets Pikmin? Strangely awesome!

@40 gasp I love the Ice Climbers!! Want's definitely.

Eff YES. Kirby may be a classic platformer star, but imho, he's best when Nintendo uses him to test out experimental gameplay. Like in Cursed Canvas - the first killer app for the DS. Before Kirby's game, the DS was just weird. After that though, there was an epiphany moment of, "OOOH! Touch screens CAN add to gameplay, instead of just be a gimmick!"

I welcome another crazy Kirby title for the DS. Also, for the DS. Not the 3DS. My Lite is going to remain with me until Nintendo upgrades/redesigns that hardware and drops that price. $250-$300 is INSANE for a handheld. Especially one that you know will be redesigned and have its price slashed in a year/ year-and-a-half like all Nintendo handhelds are destined to do.

this doesn't make sense, when a potential buyer looks over at the 3ds and doesn't see any thing that they recognize or want to play, they probably won't buy it, but bring a kirby game, BAM! theres something they can't get on there old ds and so they have want to buy the 3ds more, logic.
