So, sadly, a lot of things regarding the development and some tidbits of Kirby games are still exclusively revealed through the Nintendo Dream magazine.

Similar to the translation of the Kirby Wii Music Selection card I posted some months ago, this is a translation of the card from the Kirby: Planet Robobot Original Soundtrack (specifically the Japanese physical release of it).

Kirby GCN concept art shows a “Save Kirby!” mode, where you control a helper

This is a casual post because it's simple: a while ago, in the r/kirby Discord, we were trying to read the text at the bottom of this concept image for a menu of Kirby GCN, from scans found online of the Kirby 20th Anniversary Encyclopedia: As you can see, it's barely readable, and thus we …

It's finally here, the latest Kirby game, and it's 3D! Oh my. Kirby and the Forgotten Land! ...And that means that, yet again, misinformation is spreading about the game.

So, this is interesting, because I really had not heard about what I'm posting a translation of until a couple months ago. I was aware that Kirby Wii Music Selection existed, but I assumed it was just a CD with the tracks and its names and that was it. However, it has a small "card" …
