Where Has Kirby Been?

Kirby went out to get the milk and now we're trying to figure out when he'll be back in action for his games.

"Nintendo has *FORGOTTEN* about Kirby..."

[mrkripo]

Imagine finally having the holiday only for people to start asking where are you and why you are not fighting outer space horrors

[ajf]

Kirby’s been sleeping until the next god of destruction decided mess around and find out

[tailsfan]

As a Kirby fan, I know that they always take about 3-5 years to cook another Kirby game

[Scorbunzx]

He’s waiting to reveal his secret weapon.

[eeveefennecfox]

it's been a quiet year for alot of games, maybe they're waiting for december to announce stuff

[PinkHeart]

Maybe a new Kirby game will be released in 2025 as a leak of a new character called Polly has been released

[KingStorm-bf]

At least the last Kirby game we got was a great one

[minecrafter]

They’re gonna make another 2d game for switch and the next 3d game will be for switch 2 to hopefully create an even more evergreen game

[nouche]

Major game is for 2026 right?
there usually tends to be around a 4-year gap between major home console releases~

Given just how much Kirby popped off from RTDL until it's remake, I think it's fine for Kirby to have some downtime until it's new instalment time

[FuzHammer]

Kirby had a main game every 1-2 years since Super Star Ultra but I'm gonna guess it'll be 4 years from now on (the time it took from Star Allies to Forgotten Land)
Ideally we'd see a Swithc Triple Deluxe and\Planet Robobot remake in the vain of RTDL Deluxe in that time (Imagine they call it Triple Deluxe Deluxe lol)

[cheesysealAnon]

I was hoping that kirby and the forgotten land would receive an DLC, and I still do bringing more copy abilities back like jet and wheel and possibly bringing Dyna-blade back

[amygeer]

I’m not too worried about Kirby, he’s probably taking a break for now.

I think why Kirby is missing is because HAL is waiting for the Nintendo Switch to died.
Think about it for some unknown reason some Kirby games come out late in a Nintendo consoles
lifespan. For example Kirby super star came out in 1996 the same year the Nintendo 64 came out. Kirby's dreamland 3 came out in 1997,
a year after the Nintendo 64 came out. Kirby mass attack released in 2011 specifically August of 2011 the 3DS released in March of 2011.
Kirby's Blowout Blast released in July 2017 after the release of the Nintendo Switch. I could go on but I think I made My point some Kirby games
just come out late in Nintendo consoles lifespan.

I hope HAL and Nintendo are doing something for the pink puffball Kirby because I just hope we do get both remakes of both Kirby Triple Deluxe and Kirby Planet Robobot and also new side story modes for both Taranza and Susie just like how they did with Magolor in Magolor Epilogue like for Taranza he can find Sectonia and for Susie she could find her father or Kirby's Robobot Armor Suit.

For the Kirby Movie I know we already got one which was Kirby Fright to the Finish which is based off of Kirby Right Back At Ya but if we do get a second one I hope it's based around both the games and the anime and then maybe we can finally see Tiff, Tuff, and Escargoon come back to the Kirby series again and also maybe adding them in the Kirby Games and giving them official plushies instead of making custom plushies of them. Oh yeah and for the Kirby Movie they should not make Kirby talk and just make him be voiceless just like how he was in Kirby Right Back At Ya.

And for the future of Kirby, we know that next year could be the reveal for Switch 2 in March if that's what Shuntaro Furukawa said. Still, we know HAL is working on the sequel for Kirby and the Forgotten Land and also the new 2D Kirby Game which could be that fake leaked 2D Kirby Game which is Kirby and the Celestial Stars but I don't know and maybe we could see a Kirby Party Spin-Off Game or something? But I hope next year we get some good surprises for Kirby and also some more new plushies for Kirby as well so let's see what Nintendo and HAL have in store for us Kirby Fans for are little pink puffball Kirby.

[PikiPikDude]

theres probaly gonna be a game in 2025.

With the exception of Pokemon, Kirby is different from other franchises that are from Nintendo but not made by Nintendo.

Nintendo has complete confidence in Kirby, Kirby games consistently sell at least 1 million copies, Star Allies sold really well and Forgotten Land is the best selling game in the series and has grown the franchises considerably and Return to Dreamland Deluxe was a reasonable success.

The merchandise also sells very consistently, especially because Kirby is Nintendo's cutest franchises

Their Representation in smash bros is really big, especially because Kirby is the best beginner character in the game

They are definitely working on the 3D game, 3D games take more time than 2D games, but that is 100% worth it because 3D games always sell better than 2D games, they probably use a lot of time and effort to make the next 3D Kirby game even better than Forgotten Land.

Maybe they are working on a crazy new mechanic or gimmick that will change the game completely

[ellYDemon]

I heard the next Kirby game is going to be 3D but I don’t expect it to look the same with Kirby and the Forgotten Land being all realistic
