We had Zelda's 25th anniversary this year but another Nintendo flagship character also celebrated a milestone; Kirby.
Kirby is a dark horse for Nintendo, he seems to be aimed at the youngest of gamers, his games aren't that challenging and even the youngsters his games are aimed at are able to complete his games in a sitting or two (i know this because i did it, numerous times). But Kirby also has a lot of games under his belt, more so than probably most of Nintendo's more famous names such as Zelda and Starfox.
With so many games both party/minigames like Kirby's Dream Course and more recently Mass Attack and main console titles like Superstar and Epic Yarn as well as the Dreamland trilogy, kirby feels like a prolific mainstay yet people seem to glance over him as if he wasn't there at all (until they need him in Smash Bros).
So what is everyone's thoughts on Kirby? Do you like him? Do you think his games have a decent and ageless mechanic? Are you excited for the anniversary disc which features 6 games, a history of booklet and a CD? Or is Kirby the Nintendo character that deserves to be ignored?
and in closing, happy birthday, Kirby.
