That is adorable.
Mr.ESC @ Jan 22nd 2008 12:10AM
A Nintendo Team fortress game would be awesome.
"Mama mia,Kirby is sapping my pipe!"
That's an awesome pic.
Shignami @ Jan 22nd 2008 12:18AM
Its already been done. (along with marvel superheros Vs evil nazi counterparts and the batman mods)

blehh @ Jan 22nd 2008 2:05AM
link please
tyetheczar @ Jan 22nd 2008 12:23AM
LOL, oy. This reminds me of Haruhi Suzumiya characters done with Kirby, oy. Poyoro~n?

Looks like somebody at Joystiq has an RSS feed to SomethingAwful. They just posted this along with several others in their "Who Has Kirby Been Eating?" article. Pretty cool actually, check it out here http://www.somethingawful.com/d/comedy-goldmine/kirby-eating-drawing.php

I bet Kirby has a cherry filling. Would anyone like to find out? Of course his screaming may be bothersome, but it's more the sake of humanity. Once we know what makes Kirby tick we can build armies of Kirbys, lose control of them, and flee in terror after they figure out how the deliciousness of meat.
Wait--
ThornedVenom @ Jan 22nd 2008 3:20AM
What happens when a Team Fortress Kirby swallows another Team Fortress Kirby?
Dracard @ Jan 22nd 2008 4:56AM
You unlock Luigi.
Thanks, Joystiq. Made my day.
Zeus.:God @ Jan 22nd 2008 3:44AM
Lol...
I'm loling at the fact that Drake Lake is the name of a course in Wave Race 64... Ahh, the memories.
Psaakyrn @ Jan 22nd 2008 3:48AM
Great. Now we need to add TF2 to the list of games that begs to be in SSBB. Though the medic probably have to be redesigned AGAIN.
theCardinal @ Jan 22nd 2008 6:03AM
This is awesome. So much better than the furry version. *bleugh*
Richard Mitchell @ Jan 22nd 2008 9:19AM
Easiest. Headshots. Ever.
mr mobius @ Jan 22nd 2008 1:09PM
I'd [+] you but you are already maxed. The only problem would be having to aim low.
capt_carl @ Jan 22nd 2008 1:40PM
That is not on my desktop, but only temporarily. The Weighted Companion Cube cannot be usurped for too long, lest she threatens to stab me.
That is absolutely adorable though.
capt_carl @ Jan 22nd 2008 1:41PM
Wow I fail at typing. I meant to say that it is "NOW" on my desktop.
Dictatorship @ Jan 22nd 2008 2:21PM
Heavy Guy Kirby somehow reminds me of Snake Kirby.
This is an awesome artwork, not to mention cute. The guy who made this certainly wins at life.
