I'm hope it's a spectacular looking Kirby game for Wii, I just don't think a DS release warrants all this.

I think they'll announce a new Wii Kirby at a later date - the DS release (4 days later) seems like the main focus for this really.

O:!! That would be awesome! I'd like to see this, but oh well, a game would be good.

Wasn't there supposed to be a Kirby game in development for Wii then moved to Wii? I think Nintendo sometimes just says some things are in development when they really aren't, just to keep the fanboys quiet.

Smilie I want the original on VC damnit. I'm hoping if there is a new Wii release of Kirby that Kirby Super Star will become available for download Smilie

Right...since when was Kirby a million selling franchise? I guess they're trying to breathe life into it.

Might not be a million seller but it's obvious they sell, there was 2 or 3 Kirbygames on the GBA and already 2 on the DS so they wouldn't be making them if they wern't selling.

It would be nice if all this attention was for the Wii one but seems like it's more likly the DS what with the release date so close, does seem a bit over the top for a remake.
