Remember the Kirby and the Rainbow Curse comics?

there are comics?

I've seen a couple of them (though that one's dialogue has been edited). Not sure if they're fanmade or if they were used to promote/appear in Rainbow Curse.

The comics are official promotional joke-comics, but some of the translations of them are fan-made. I'm not sure that Nintendo's Western arms ever translated the whole lot.

I have to say, it's pretty amazing that Claycia was able to (albeit unwillingly and/or didn't know) just straight up buy something like

I have a little bit more Kirby merchandise news, folks! Twice in one day, unbelievable!

Play-Asia are now also taking pre-orders on the Kirby coin-purse, the Waddle Dee coin-purse, and the Meta Knight coin-purse, and the Kirby cushion, the Waddle Dee cushion, and the Meta Knight cushion.

Whilst Play-Asia's prices are higher than AmiAmi's, they actually have pre-order slots for the cushions still available, which AmiAmi currently doesn't. It's also worth noting that, no matter where you buy the cushions, due to their enormous size (13" high, by 17" wide, by 7" thick for Kirby and Waddle Dee, and 13" high, by 21" wide, by 7" thick for Meta Knight), they're going to end up being expensive anyway.

These listings also bring with them the final product photographs! These show us that the coin-purses have had wrist-straps added, which June's Tokyo Toy Show prototypes didn't have - and the one on the Waddle Dee is blue! (Meta Knight's, meanwhile, matches the cyan top/collar part of his cape, just to show that these are intended nods.)

Coin-purse pictures;

Cushion pictures;

I really like the fact that they've added Meta Knight's wings to the back of the cushion (I wonder if they've done the same with the coin-purse?), and I also can't help but notice that they've added the symbol he uses in Smash to one of his pauldrons, too - is this the first time that that logo has been brought into Kirby series canon in any way?

You know, this was the best episode of the dub by far. It looked really good in 3D back during its 3DS broadcast, too. It's amazing how much better everything about the thing looked by using proper CGI (granted, made using much later technology) rather than the bizarre cel-shaded hybrid that the show used during its run. Also, the dubbing is a lot more bearable in this one, due to seeming to be a lot less overdone and over-expository - different voice-direction, perhaps?

I'm still thankful that this was the last we saw of the anime, though.

Aww, that's not very nice! I actually REALLY liked the anime! It's what made Kirby my favorite video game character of all time, introduced me to his games, alongside Super Smash Bros., and more!

I kinda wish we get a CGI animated kirby show in the future

Maybe this time Kirby will be the main character, and Dedede and BDee will have non-antagonistic supporting roles.

Please don't get me wrong, I don't for one minute dispute the importance of any television adaptation of a game in introducing new fans to a franchise.

What I dislike about the Kirby anime is that, as so many game-to-TV adaptations do, it misguidedly threw out everything to do with the games in the name of making the programme accessible to non-fans and non-gamers, when it was completely unnecessary to do so. It created lasting confusion and borderline brand-damage, which has continued almost up to the present day (thankfully, it seems to have been fading since HAL finally returned to taking the series back in its proper direction circa Kirby's Return to Dream Land).

There are still people who think that Dedede is a villain, for example, when not only was he never one in game canon (a selfish git in the first game, absolutely, yes, but otherwise only a bit greedy, but pure-hearted and with a proven willingness to improve as a person), but he'd learned from his misdeeds in the first game* in 1992, by the time of the sequel in 1993.

*I noticed something entertaining about this, which, in spite of all of the other tiny details Dedede has, may actually simply be a coincidence: The release date of the original game was April 27th of 1992, putting it directly after the moulting season of Little Blue Penguins (which Dedede is), which lasts from November until March. If Dedede moults in March, then it would actually provide a reason as to why he stole the entire kingdom's food supply - all penguins eat a lot both before and after moulting and Little Blues are no exception.

I also didn't like the stylistic/characterisation choices made in the dub. To the credit of the actors and writers, they made the very best out of it that they could - most of the anime's problems stem from the original Japanese-language version, even though the English dub's Oil Tycoon Dedede is a frequent scapegoat for the issues.

I kinda wish we get a CGI animated kirby show in the future

As I've said about half a dozen times, if they made something in the vein of Return to Dream Land and Triple Deluxe, I would absolutely love it.

Maybe this time Kirby will be the main character, and Dedede and BDee will have non-antagonistic supporting roles.

And this is one of the reasons why I would like to see a show in that vein.

No, I said it was funny how you reacted to finding out that the other gals here are.

Oh, you think so? I suppose I did react kinda humorously, now that I think back on it. Funnily enough, I wasn't shocked at all that Burruni was.

I'm not saying if I am or not.

I just wanna know where people are saying they had a firm answer

 

[Tortilla Noggin]

Guys, we'd better swerve it back on-topic, now... (Also, MarioMeteor - I think I just got it. But don't guys need somewhere to keep their loose change, too?! And if so, wouldn't they also look forward to the release of awesome money-carrying devices?)

Uhh, on behalf of guys everywhere, I plead the fifth. But yeah, we should get back on before Fal visits us again and/or Chandy strangles me.

Should Bandana Dee have his own playable mode in a future Kirby title akin to Meta Knightmare or Dedede Tour? Or should it be best that he's kept a bit more background to keep spotlight... a bit off of him directly, because it's truer to his character?

I would actually really like to see this. At this point, it almost sort of feels like he should be next in line for it, and if my crazy out-there guess that I've come up with after much time poring over HAL's suspiciously-Dedede-biased official Miiverse postings of recent times is anywhere even remotely close to correct, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see it, because I think the next game is Dedede's.

A gameplay mode for him would be better. He's on par with the others in importance now, practically speaking.

Inb4 it happens and people still try to say he's not an important or relevant character

 

[Elec]

So you know how in Fire Emblem, there's a weapon triangle in which lances beat swords? What if, Bandana Dee had a good matchup against all swordsmen in the game? Or, what would be funny is if he had bad matchups against most of them.

Oh & one more thing, Hammers are considered axes in FE. So we could have a weapon triangle for the Kirby characters.

Please refer to the Type Effectiveness mechanic in Brawl. I'm sure we all know how well that worked out.
