This game was pretty fun, but Kirby without the copy ability is kinda hard to go back to. Without that you just have an intentionally extremely easy platformer.

Also wow, nintendo must be saving money somewhere, no editing, no release date, no title card, it's not a really a trailer so much as a minute and a half silent quick look. Video also has a weird volume spike like someone turned it up a bit when playing. I'm nitpicking here but still... nintendo's clearly putting the minimum of effort into this program. Just slap the rom on the shop, film the game for a minute, that's the trailer.

If that is what you want, get Kirby's Fun Pack or the Ultra Version. 
This is for people who want to play the GB classic.

My first Gameboy game, played it tons. Won't pick it up though, Kirby's Adventure for the NES (which came later but I played first) is a lot better and even has some of the stages from this in it.

Edit: It's also in colour.

I love kirby, but I'd like to see if it has any new features like Excitebike.

It's Nintendo. Of course it's just the old Roms.

@kud12001: The only GBC Kirby game I've seen is Tilt 'n Tumble. Dream Land 2 came out for the Game Boy and Dream Land 3 was released on the Super Nintendo. 
 
Nice to see the first Kirby game available for digital purchase. I wonder if Kirby's Adventure (NES) is on the ways as a 3D classic. That would be cool to look at, but I don't have much interest in buying it again.

man I loved kirbys nightmare in dreamland... a lot of fun multiplayer as well. I know this isn't that but it is still kirby. Also Kirby Music is awesome.
