Nintendo: no plans for a Kirby Wii title (Joystiq)

[R.O.B.]

Filed under: Nintendo Wii

Despite Kirby's prominent appearance in the Wii's megaton title Smash Smash Bros. Brawl, Nintendo has no plans of giving the little pink vacuum cleaner his own game on the console, according to the UK's Official Nintendo Magazine.

In the magazine's Q&A section, Nintendo's official response is: "There are no plans right now for a Kirby game on Wii but there are plenty of Kirby fans out there, so in the meantime look out for Kirby in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl which will be released in 2008."

Though Kirby has always been best suited to 2D side-scrolling adventures, we're still a bit remiss that Nintendo isn't considering any Wii love for the squishy mascot. We can't think of any clever waggle functionality, but wouldn't it just be fun to turn the Wii-mote on its side and let Kirby run free in a 2.5D adventure?

when i think Kirby for the Wii, images of Super Mario Galaxy keep poping into mind. i think a Wii Kirby has the potential to be the best game of the series.

I don't expect a Kirby that is better than Superstar for a long, long time.

Disappointing if this is true, a new Kirby game is long due

It's just gonna be another easy fest with a lack of creativity like all the newer Kirby's though. :/

Then what the hell happened to the GC game that was in development? Surely they could of continued making that for the Wii like Super Paper Mario and DK Bongo Blast... o.o

Maybe it was crap and they discarded it.

It looked amazing, though.

So did Earthbound 64 which was scrapped (which they remade years and years later on the GBA).
