Wii Kirby pops up in Nintendo financials News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Wii

No date but set for Japanese release.

A listing from a Nintendo financial document suggests the company plans to release a new Kirby game for the Wii in the future.

A launch schedule included in Nintendo's recent Q1 financial results report lists a game called "Hoshi no Kirby(Temp.)" for release on the Wii in Japan. The title doesn't list any other regions for the release, which is dated "TBA".

Kirby's last headline appearance on a home console was 2003's Kirby's Air Ride, a racing spin-off for the GameCube. A more traditional GameCube Kirby game was planned at one point but never saw the light of day.

Kirby's latest portable release, Kirby Super Star Ultra, sold an impressive 2.3 million copies, suggesting the pink puff still has some drawing power among Nintendo fans.

They've made plenty of new IPs. There hasn't been a proper Kirby game on home console since the N64. but yes, the DS games were decent.

The Crystal Shards was the best one yet, combining different powers into new ones was great fun.

SPAM is right, that entry has been in every report. It doesn't mean anything.

Kirby DS (with the paintbrush) has to be one of the best platformers I have ever played. I find the other games with the little gay doughball useless though.
