New Kirby GBA game

[burgundy]

In the latest issue of the Japanese gaming magazine Koro Koro Comic, a new Kirby game from HAL Laboratory has been revealed. The game's title can be translated to something like Kirby: Great Labrynth of the Mirror, but that's a completely unofficial translation. Still, what's known about the game is that Kirby will be equipped with a cell phone that will enable the pink blob to keep in touch with its friends. The strength of the signal changes depending upon where Kirby is, for instance if he's underground it will be weak. Players will also have to keep the cell phone's battery charged, presumably by finding power-ups. How all of this impacts the gameplay is really anyone's guess at this point. Kirby will also have new transformations and abilities to take on, such as cupid, which looks to play an important part in the game if these first screens are any indication.

Why has Nintendo dropped the ball on such franchises as Kid Icarus and Punch-Out!??

Maybe they just don't know the right way to improve on either formula?

Sounds kind of like Boktai.

Well, now Kirbys a commercial whore, selling out to what's popular with the kiddies these days.

Who am I kidding - I'm playing this thing for sure.

Because only a handful of people give a shit about Nintendo's money franchises anymore, let alone a game like Punch Out, which was already perfected on the SNES and an NES game that 98 percent of gamers don't care about or don't remember.
