Nintendo Reveals New Kirby Platformer for Wii in 2011

Sounds awesome...

Sucks to be him.

It looks like Kirby 64. Maybe it's just the size of the video, but it looked exactly like Kirby 64. Hopefully they push the Wii harder than that.

Thats cool, I am happy.

"Smoking and vomiting stationary game machines"
Umm, are you alright, Kirby?
I have to say though, I can't recall ever hearing the word 'vomit' used to help sell a videogame.

I would much rather Rhythm Heaven Wii over Kirby though.

The video seems to suggest that Kirby will have access to a gigantic sword, and be able to suck in roughly everything.

As Kirby gains in power, I fear escallation will spawn the anti-Kirby, and those will be dark days indeed.

I'm suspecting WiiWare based off what we've seen here. Game should still be good, thought, after seeing what happened with Kirby Epic Yarn.

So soon?? That looks awesome. Mmmm Kirby...
I'm just waiting for a new Kirby game that can match the depth of Super Star.

I still need to get Epic yarn. The new game looks cool I guess. Didn't expect a new one so soon. I thought the Wii was almost on the way out.
Looks like they're still keeping it around a while.

I can't recall ever hearing the word 'vomit' used to help sell a videogame.

I'm sure they're referring to Kirby's ability to exhale stars and stuff.

Nice sword. I would like to see a 3D game instead of a sidescroller for a change, however.

@ Bass XO
I always called it sucking and spitting. I've never used the word Vomit when refering to Kirby's attack method. That just sounds vile and gross.

is that a rhythm heaven 2?

Looks really awesome.

Hah, that game is back! Woohoo!

I thought he just sucks, spits and swallows?

@ manleycartoonist
I don't know which Kirby 64 you've played but it definitely doesn't look like that.

@ zranoll
More like Rhythm Tengoku 3, but yes, looks like it. And that's pure awesome.

@Kaura: It has similarities, I've even noticed some.

Diggin the whip power.

they translate more to inhale/exhale or breathe in/breathe out, really... lol, google translate fail :3

but anyway, screw Kirby -- tell me more about this Rhythm Tengoku Wii

TBD is speaking my language.

I'm surprised nobody was amused by google's description of a Kirby film. I'm looking forward to a new Kirby game. As for Rhythm Heaven Wii, how do you know about it and what features are confirmed?

Guh, I'll wait till I've got KEY before I start thinking about the next Kirby game. D:

It's still a whole month away, wtf.

Oh, yeah! Why not?

Looks beautiful

Looks like a VERY AMPED UP sequel to Kirby 64... which was one of my favorite 64 games, so that's awesome. Also, this must be the current build of this long-rumored title:

Let me be the first to say YES!!!!!
Don't get me wrong, KEY was awesome, but Kirby is the best as an inhailer. And the giant sword and the ability to suck up massive amounts of enemies, then puke them out into a mega-star? AWESOME!

_{I wish it was a sequel to Kirby Air Ride, though...}

NOOO! Not another game I need to get... D: May 15... maybe I can ask it for my birthday.

Oh man, it looks great! Epic Yarn, in my opinion, is one of the best platformers ever made, and when I saw this news post I was a little worried. It looks like this new one is going for a very different vibe, though: much more action-based, like Super Star. I hope it's a WiiWare download since there's so many other great retail games coming out this year that I'll probably be completely cashless, but I'm sure I'll find some way to play it

I was more interested in the vid of the "Rhythm" series game.

Why do you guys think it's for Wiiware?

Another Kirby game? I didn't even have a chance to pick up Epic Yarn yet!

As long as this isn't as slow paced as Kirby 64, I'd be happy to try this one out.

I think the Rhythm Heaven preview looked better.

I honestly did not expect this at all. I though that mysterious new DS Kirby game was gonna be the last we hears from Kirby in some time. I guess 2011 is shaping up to be a great year for Kirby! Anyway, that very tiny video looked fantastic. I recognize a few new Kirby transformations there and some really smooth design. I love that this appears to be putting a focus on Kirby's inhaling ability. It appears that the more you consume in a single inhale, the bigger the star projectile you spit up. I can't ait to see more. Oh and New Rhythm Heaven? Yes please!!

Now this looks amazing, I just hope it's multiplayer so my bro and I can play this game together.

The newspost totally missed the point!

RHYTHM TENGOKU WIIIII

This Kirby has the same hyper bright style as Kirby 64, but thats the only proper similarity I see. But the landscapes look more like the typical Kirby style than 64 in my opinion and there are hats, waddle dees and an actual sword ability, unlike 64. Perhaps the main reason it is most similar to 64 is because, well, its the only other console game that has Kirby doing, well, awesome suck/spit Kirby stuff. The only other two are Epic Yarn and Air Ride which are a completely different kind of basting sauce. (And that one that never pitched... nearly forgot that one.)
Mooovin' on.
HEEEEEEEEECK YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH! Finally! Kirby being, well, Kirby! + Apocolyptic-like abilities (Giant Star spitting, Giant sword, Giant fire dragon.) + The ability to surf... ON THE GROUND. (Jesus could walk on water, Kirby can surf on the ground. Oh what a team they would make!)

Looks good but I'm not sure I'd pay $50 for it..

I loved Epic Yarn, and I'd love to see that continue as a sub-series, a la Paper Mario.

Don't get me wrong...the more traditional Kirby games are great and I'm glad to see them continued...but Epic Yarn was an entirely new approach and I adored it. Here's hoping for an Epic Yarn 2 on the 3DS or something...

If that's 4 player co-op, then that's awesome. Also the super powered attacks look amazing. It looks like it could be on 3DS too because I don't see any use of one handed motion.

Hm...the game reminds me of Crystal Shards. That could be pretty good if there's a combination mechanic in the game.

WANT. SO VERY MUCH WANT.

So, How long have we been waiting for this Kirby game?

I know this one is a must buy, if it plays like Kirby All-Star.

From the video on Nintendo's Japanese website it looks more of traditional Kirby game when compared to Epic Yarn, and oddly enough it kinda reminds me of the Klonoa game.

I'm going to leave this here
[youtube:MjiPwyutxD8]

Wait, what? And what was up with that about a movie?

@ manleycartoonist It is almost nothing like Kirby 64 aside from the fact it features Kirby. It is more like the traditional 2D games we've seen from the little guy. Kirby 64 was more like an isometric 2D/3D game that comparatively, was kinda slow to this new one. This new one looks so more dynamic.

I've had a lot of fun with Epic Yarn but it does, at some points, feel like a non-kirby game (since it shares the Super Mario Bros 2 family tradition). Good to know a proper Kirby game will be out over here by next year.

Wooo, is the title Kirby 128!

It does look sort of WiiWarey. Or like the Kirby from Smash Bros. (though I guess HAL did that too...so there you go).

Kirby is getting a lot of games. KEY is out in eu next month and he's got a new ds game coming out and now there this and they all look awesome. So does rhythm paradise wii.

Looks nothing like K64. That had odd camera angles and such. This looks more to be a 2D platformer with 3D graphics, in the vain of NSMBW, Wario Land, etc.

Pretty certain it'll be a retail game.

*Looks at video.
Looks at name
Looks at avatar

YES.

Kirby has been reading Bleach too much lately and learned to use Bankai. Not even Ichico Kurosaki can defeat Kirby WITH A GIANT SWORD!

That’s more like it! it actually resembles a Kirby game this time, will buy.
I won't bother with EY.

※ screens are under development.

Also, Kirby is Kirby last year's wool is released in the U.S. and Japan], and for this story turns into Kirby's new smoking vomiting stationary game machines, Imashi to keep you waiting very long Or. For the [Wii] Kirby's new product has been developed by a team of Hull Institute. Please see the movie as well.

[Kirby] also this latest film is scheduled for release this year.

(dont you just love google translate xD)

...That reminds me, whatever happened to that DS game? (not Ultra, lol)

I hope they will do the same death system they had from Epic Yarn

i don't really like kirby games...but this game looks pretty cool!!

Cool, maybe this will actually be a Kirby game instead of just inserting him into a game that was never made for him. >_>

Thank you Hal for making a traditional kirby game on wii, didn't think it would get the pleasure

I'm glad he's back to his ability-vacuuming self. Or not?

Nice to see an Actual Kirby game coming out! I just wish they would bring back Fusion. Haven't game designers found out that fusion makes any game amazing? Kirby 64 was beyond a blast to play just for the fusion and seeing what all of them do. Although i see they are trying Specials for each power which is nice but not as great as fusion but still cool.
What they need to do is mix both of those concepts; fusion and specials. I would probably not wait for this game to get cheap if that was the case. Sure it would be alot of work but it would be worth it. This game makes me want to play the Gamecube-cancled Kirby game that looked so good.
Also when is Kirby Air Ride 2 coming out?

Looks awesome! But what happened to that DS Kirby game they showed? With the 3DS coming in 2 months, is it still happening?

FUDGE YEAH, I am so glad Kirby's still running strong with new 2D releases like this!

The pink puffball will forever be in my heart

From the way the video looks, this could be the Kirby game that started development on the Gamecube and was moved on and off Nintendo's release calendar for years.

This game looks fantastic! Kirby's Epic Yarn was awesome, but it's nice seeing Kirby return to his roots again. Please include that 4-player mode like the canceled GameCube Kirby game!

Ugh, I know there's a thread about that DS game somewhere...can't find it.

@JesusSaves: Squeak Squad was kind of gimmicky too, with the bottom screen stomach.

Yay! kirby is my fav video game characters, since he introduced me to games. I wish this was on the 3ds though, i pre ordered one, and as great as the games look, i REALLY want a kirby game like this. maybe that one they announced a few months back will be for it, But i hope this is on 3ds too

I like the idea of this better than Kirby's Epic Yarn. I like the traditional Kirby.

This new Kirby game on the Wii looks pretty dang good.
@Bell - I still remember news about the new DS Kirby title, but unfortunately I feel that the thread you're searching for is lost in a sea of pages.

Ya, don't mention the AWESOME new Rhythm Heaven trailer.

....though the kirby game DOES look cool too....

Awesome!

yo guys look http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirby_%28cancelled_video_game%29

Why are yo compaining, too many games is a way better problem than not enough!

y'know, this game looks extremely alike to a kirby game that was in development for the gamecube, but was then said it was going to wii and apparently after that it was cancelled. There was even a gameplay video for it.

OMG!!!

@StarBoy: I actually found it on here, though its not the forum thread...
http://ds.nintendolife.com/games/ds/kirby_tentative

Still trying to figure out what you do in this game...looks like you gather up 10 Kirbies, then something...lol.

I just remembered, Epic Yarn isn't really a Kirby game. It didn't start as a Kirby game and was never intended to be one until Nintendo asked Good Feel if they wanted to put Kirby into their new game. This game was likely supposed to be Kirby's real return to consoles. I can't wait for the first "true" console Kirby game in a decade!

To all those who mentioned Rhythm Heaven/Tengoku Wii.... I salute you.
Kirby's fine, but.... me want to stab peas with a Wii-mote fork!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDOZzcobfrU&feature=player_embedded
Look at this it looks like Kirby can use specail moves in this game XD!!!I'm totaly getting this!!!Even though the Nintendo 3DS may be a sucess the Wii still has away around.

I think Kirby has found his niche... every generation, come up with a Kirby that "breaks" his formula while staying "signature Kirby", then follow up with a "true to form" Kirby game. I'm diggin' this rut Kirby's in...

Kirby's back with new abilities? Now that's hawt.

Lookin' awesome! Can't wait.

YES ! this game looks even more awesome just like last year's epic yarn ! and now we're getting another console kirby game this year ?! can't wait !

This is going to be great. And don't forget about Kirby's upcoming DS game!

Wow, looks great!

Hm, I'm skeptical. First, Hal's "traditional" Kirby games stagnated quite a bit, and I doubt this will be able to follow the wonderful Epic Yarn back to back.

More importantly, however, it should be 3DS title instead. The 3DS is in more dire need of a platformer right now, and these graphics, while perhaps a bit dull to envision on Wii, could pop wonderfully well on the small 3D screen.

Yay~!! I can't wait for the cute pink puff to make his way to the Wii again~! The trailer was so awesome I almost fainted.

"I doubt this will be able to follow the wonderful Epic Yarn back to back."
EY looks better, i’ll give it that. But beyond that it seems like a slow and dull experience. This game will smash it to pieces.

All i want to hear now is a confirmation of multiplayer.

Yes! A proper Kirby game! This is a Day 1 buy for me for sure. I've missed you Kirby!

Freaking awesome news! I for one was a huge fan of Epic Yarn, but let's be honest, we ALL know it wasn't a true Kirby game. Seeing this footage I really hope they pull off another masterpiece like they did with Epic Yarn though, but I think half of the appeal of EY was the atmosphere.

Good thing Epic Yarn was epic but that wasn't a true Kirby game that I want; however, this new Kirby title caught me by surprise. I know Nintendo knew better than to not let Kirby down. Now we just need some more F-Zero and Star Fox love for the Wii and this gen would be awesome.

Woah, I just noticed Cowboy Kirby. huh. I wonder what other abilities they're adding and what they're keeping. so far i've only seen the sword ability, but all others are new, but thats pretty cool keeping it fresh.

EDIT: oh and tornado, but cant wait to see more new abilities

So happy that there will be more Kirby games. Kirby is my favourite game character of all time. (Yes, I like Kirby even better that Mario).

looks like my kind of kirby game. Except for the whole everly-dramatic sword scenes

There are segments of that vid that remind me of 64, but I wasn't too fond of Crystal Shards. Love what looks like a modified inhale mechanic, provided Nintendo does not nerf/buff the ability too much.

Edit: @EricDaNerd: No, Jack Black is going to play Kirby, lol.

Good, a traditional Kirby game, I've never played Epic Yarn but it does not look that great.
