Nintendo Outs New Kirby Game In Quarterly Report

Look forward to a brand new, non-yarn-based Kirby game for the Wii. Nintendo of Japan dropped a small mention of a fresh Kirby game in its quarterly report alongside a small video demonstration of the game in action. 

The title, which is being developed by HAL Laboratory, doesn’t appear to be a direct follow-up to last year's Epic Yarn. As you’ll see in the video, this is a Kirby game with a wholly different visual style and a different set of powers. As Joystiq notes in its article about the sudden reveal, you’ll catch Kirby swinging around a massive sword and summoning a fire dragon. Also, vomiting enemies. 
  
   

cool

Can't get enough Kirby these days.

ohh new classic kirby game. 

oh snap

Kirby is a sex master

more kirby!!!!!!

I wanna hump it.

Still don't have epic yarn in the UK. :(

Not these kirby games! :(
 
The only ones I really liked were Kirby's Epic Yarn and Canvas Curse...
 
The old school ones are a bit boring,imo...

I'm so sick of these franchises.

More like pretty YARN well!!!

I still gotta play Epic Yarn. So much Kirby, so little time!

nice.

Oh my god, all those classic dreamland sound bites are giving me some serious wood.

Wait, this is the Kirby game that was announced for GameCube back in 2005.  They moved it to Wii a year later, then it seemed like it was canceled.
 
HAL Laboratory was still making it!?

Back to sucking and blowing

Looks like they made old Kirby, eh? I'll buy a copy of Nightmare in Dreamland if the put it out on the 3DS virtual console. Or maybe I should buy another GBA SP to replace mine that was stolen at LAX.

Straight classic I like it. 

SOLD!

.

seeing this kinda of batshit crazy stuff really makes me wonder, WHY ARE THERE NOT MORE KIRBY GAMES!?

I WANT THIS SO MUCH.

Too bad they didn't do another installment in the Epic Yarn game as I think on the new DS it'd go quite well compared to a Kirby game that to me looks like so many other Kirby games.

Always down for more Kirby.

No THAT is the Kirby game I want.

looks awesome!

I told myself I'd appreciate Epic Yarn more when they went back to a faster more action-y Kirby game, and I guess I was right.
 
Looks cool.

Power-up super moves?  Indiana Kirby?   
I don't care what year this comes out in.  It's GOTY, regardless in my book.

I hope HAL has some awesome new ideas, because Kirby is just about as stale of a franchise as Sonic in their main game iterations. Not entirely the same, of course, since there has been a modern DS Kirby game that cribbed off of existing content, but also added fresh new levels and a whole companion system for single player and co-op.

i just got Epic Yarn and its SO FUN! this game will be a definite buy!

I dunno, the main draw of the last Kirby game was just how charming and damn cute the aesthetic was.  Take that out and you've got a game I'm not all that interested in. 

that's a big sword

This is kind of a letdown after Epic Yarn, I mean I like Kirby but I've played too many Kirby games of this style so this seems like a step back.

i'm planning on getting Epic Yarn when it's released but this regular style of kirby, with crazy powers and whatnot, has gotten a bit old to me. 
 
I would rather see them taking a risk with this series and make it into a 3D platformer, or is the age of converting 2D playstyles into 3D playstyles too far gone already?

Look at that sword. Jesus.

Epic Yarn was my GOTY last year. And even though that's not the most traditional Kirby game, I'm still excite.

Arrrrrhhh yeah baby, swallow all of it!

Looks fun, but I hate the fucking music (actually all Nintendo music). 

Kirby>Mario

So they went from no abilities to FUCKING CRAZY abilities.  I am so ok with both.

A more classic Kirby game is something I would totally love.

oh man... this is one of the few games that makes me wish i had a wii...
