Kirby: Mass Attack minigames feature minis, games
Historically, very few small pink blobs have done more to further innovation in the field of minigame design than Kirby, and judging from the above trailer, HAL Laboratory's DS swan-song Kirby Mass Attack will continue that proud tradition. Other continuing traditions include: ruthlessly destro...
Original Smash Bros. rated by ESRB for Wii
North American Wii owners, the wait may soon be over. After years of patient, patient waiting -- and watching the game land on both the European and Japanese Virtual Console -- the original Smash Bros. should soon be winging its way to American Wiis. The evidence: The game has been rated for Wii by...
Fanswag: Kirby Super Star Ultra goes to ... [update]
Update: Wow, we can be pretty boneheaded sometimes. We prematurely ended the contest and chose a winner, thinking it ended on Sunday night, as per our usual routine. This latest contest, however, wasn't supposed to end until the evening of Tuesday, October 28th. We apologize for the mistake and wi...

VC Monday Madness video wrap-up 1/21/08

With only two games available, one of which is already on the Virtual Console in other forms, the other being a sequel, we can understand your lack of enthusiasm. So, either you can be vindicated in your assumption that there...
Kirby Super Star coming to DS
Before mini-game compilations were crazy ubiquitous, there was Kirby Super Star. Released at the tail-end of the SNES's lifetime, Super Star advertised "8 Games In One!", one of which being a graphically enhanced version of the Game Boy original, and four more being full-fledged platformers in their...
Virtually Overlooked: Kabuki Quantum Fighter
Welcome to our weekly feature, Virtually Overlooked, wherein we talk about games that aren't on the Virtual Console yet, but should be. Call it a retro-speculative. HAL America's Kabuki Quantum Fighter has been featured on Virtually Overlooked once before, as a game that has a similar title to Phan...
Devour this Gamecube Kirby video, gain its power
We caught this trailer from the unreleased Gamecube Kirby platformer on Gamevideos, and we are agape. Stunned. We think that given the choice to release this or Kirby Air Ride, Nintendo may have chosen poorly. Kirby is clearly using HAL's Super Smash Bros. Melee engine, and to awesome effect, as the...
Featured Friday Video: Kirby gets his squeak on
Earlier, we brought you the metareview -- now see for yourself. After all, if you haven't yet bought the game, it's always nice to check out a little footage along with the reviews. Check out the puff doing his platform thing after the jump....
