>>536779324Collab's still open for anyone interested in contributing!
>>537270298>all the space is taken up by poorly drawn whores Yeahhh… this one’s a bust.
>Looking back at earlier Elfilis art>Tempted to revamp that old expression sheet I made now that I've got a better grasp on his design and how to do aliasing right>Also tempted to do a Meteon variant>Know full well the latter would takes ages due to autistically wanting to get the perspective on the horns rightAh, great, a hell of my own making.
>>537272571Hey, no need to be rude man. Collabs are always fun in terms of seeing who's added, the variety in art style is part of the fun if anything. Everyone's welcome to join in!
You guys think meteonelfilis looked like regular elifilis before he absorbed the starries? or slightly different?>>537272624I think if you do decide to you should do some art of meteon because theres obviously not that much art of him yet, if you do phase 3 i think it would be easier to draw lmao.
So do you think 2026 will be a filler year
>>537272993>meteonelfilis looked like regular elifilis before he absorbed the starries? or slightly different?I think I went into it a bit last thread but I think the differences do slightly hint towards what the "normal" state of the species is like.I imagine Meteon's 3-pointed ears with a more batlike shape are innate compared to Elfilis's having more splits and a rounder shape, but the Starries accentuated that. I think the "true" form of the brothers is probably closer to Elfilis than Meteon given what we see of Meteon's larval form within the evil meteor, mainly the fact he DOES have the whiskers, which he loses in his crystal form. I believe that the original form probably is some sort of middleground between both designs, and each one was influenced by what they absorbed (Elfilis assimilating the mammals of the Forgotten Land, leading to him looking more like one, while Meteon absorbed the Starries, making him look more alien and sleek with crystal highlights. I'm genuinely fascinated by how much is implied about the species off of the differences in the brothers alone, makes me very glad I was always vague about Elfilis being the only one of his kind or not in my writing.>you should do some art of meteonOh the ink art one from last thread was me, I do definitely plan on drawing him some more. Still very damn happy with how this one turned out too. I will say, I'm incredibly happy his general anatomy is still the same as Elfilis's, it's muscle memory for me at this point so it makes drawing Meteon way easier to learn. Horns a bastard though.
>>537274624Possibly? Air Riders is in November, and I could see that getting free character updates. Maybe we'll get a new spinoff, but I could see the next mainline game being at least announced next year.
>>537274671Nice art!I think thats a cool theory, although i wonder how you fit chaos elfilis into it considering he looks more like facto elfilis even though he doesn't have any other creatures absorbed.Also any theories about meteonelfilis name? Elfilins name comes from nil life implying some connection to void (voids name is "nil" in japanese), fecto elfilis is literally perfect elfilis, but i have idea what elfilis comes from and even less of a clue what "genwel meteonelfilis" could mean other than the meteon part.
suta ara switch 2 patch doko
>>536803545To the guy speculating about the DLC composers two threads ago, the Wikirby page got updated so all of them are in a convenient place.https://wikirby.com/wiki/Jukebox/Kirby_and_the_Forgotten_Land
>>537275718>Chaos ElfilisOh yeah, funny thing about that, Chaos DOES seem to still have other creatures absorbed, he just swapped out Elfilin as a component with Morpho, note the way the animal souls show up during the death animation (picrel has the Buffahorn below him and the Gnawcodile on top), and the fact his figure description specifically says "A unique convergence of elements, from native-beast souls to ethereal butterfly", Chaos still has a lot of animals in him.>Also any theories about meteonelfilis name?Oh yeah, fun fact about that, his name is "Genejoya" in Spanish for the "Genwel" part, so I can pretty confidently confirm that aspect is at least meant to be a combination of Gene + Jewel. As for the "Meteon" part though... It's interesting, in Japanese he's JUST "Mefirisu" as opposed to Elfilis being "Efirisu", but all translations consistently have the "meteor" implication across the board. I can only imagine it's an expansion on Elfilis's name but making it blunt he was sealed in the meteor instead of the capsule, probably to mirror the fact Elfilis's larval/chimera form is "Forgo" in reference to being sealed in the forgotten land? Food for thought.
>>537272571You could be next to the chads in the back: Starman, Gooey, & dark matter
>>537276704Oh duh yeah i forgot about his death animation and figure description, kinda sad their souls are just forever dead but at least leon got to survive.It being gene + jewel fits but i doesn't imply anything cool, also i think that "fecto forgo" means literally "perfection forgotten/forgone" so the meteon part being direction attached in front of efilis probably implies its more like a newer species/kind because its a full "elfilis" plus powerful in their own right starries whereas fecto elfilis is just a full elfilis plus a bunch of weaker animals that could be removed and not impact much. I think thats why meteonelfilis has an extra crystal core orb that regular elfilis doesn't.
>>537275583I think 2027 might be the year of the next mainline game as to not step on star crossed world’s toes
>>537278063Interesting thing about Chaos Elfilis in the novel, from what I remember translating, it's framed as though Chaos is almost an anger automaton of sorts, with Elfilin saying ""The thoughts of all the living things Fecto Elfilis has devoured have become a mess. It's not even a living thing anymore, just a black mass of thought." Retroactively though, I think this is kind of confusing given how the Spears figure says Elfilis took Ares once Meteon was defeated which feels like it implies more intent. As far as I know the newer novels are supervised by Kumazaki so that slight conflict in depiction makes me wonder if it was something they decided on later. Related to that: Chaos getting access to the power of the Starries by just taking Ares is incredibly interesting to me. Also worth noting, the "Lord of Chaos" title is a bit different in other languages, being "Godlike Species of Chaos" in Japanese (fun fact, both "Godlike Species" and "New Species" are pronounced Konton Shinju, but use a different kanji for the "Shin" part, which is where the difference comes from), while in Spanish it's "Being of Chaos", and Korean has similar wordplay to Japanese, going from "New Species" to "Starry Species" with similar pronounciation but different writing.In terms of the Meteon suffix though, I see what you mean, fair point. I do think all the different versions point towards it being specifically related to meteors though, so there's probably some implications going on there through that. I do still think it's related to where each of them was imprisoned, personally, since I feel like the name "Forgo" also has to be specifically referring to the Forgotten Land seeing as all the translations specifically tie to the word "Forgotten" specifically rather than "Forgone", i.e. in Spanish it's Olvi, in French it's Oublio, in German it's Ver'Ges. I do genuinely think it's fascinating how much insight all the different translations offer.
>>537280349I mean its still thinking so chaos elfilis might have just thought that picking up ares would have made it stronger, but then again the description as something thats not "living" but also a mess of thoughts is a bit contradictory? how does something not alive think? Side note the spears being separable from the actual species but still being summoned by them is interesting, kinda wish kirby got to eat one for like an upgraded spear copy ability based on elfilis/meteonelfilis.Well the fecto forgo name could just refer to forgotten instead of forgotten land, so perfection forgotten because elfilin split off reducing its ability to think, thus forgetting its perfection.
>>537281394>but then again the description as something thats not "living" but also a mess of thoughts is a bit contradictory? how does something not alive think?It's all a bit complicated and it really makes me wish we'd get an official translation for the novels, if only for the sake of clarity. Also agree on the spears, really hope maybe next game we'll get them as a callback evolution in some way.And fair enough on the forgotten aspect, given how the series is I wouldn't be surprised if it's supposed to reference both interpretations honestly.
>>537283408All i want is official translations of the novels, especially if they are going to do tie-ins with the plots of new game releases
>check in with wise waddle dee out of curiosity>awoofy murder count number>it is now at 2,866,919,320BORN TO INHALEFORGOTTEN LAND IS A FUCKカービィ Kill Em All 2025I am dream man2,866,919,320 DEAD AWOOFIES
>>537285263One day. Just gotta hope a good publisher gets its hands on the license for it...
>>537276293Is there a download that includes 117 [Secret Area: HAL Room (Starry Ver.)], 119 (Kirby's Tilt-and-Roll Festival) and everything from 128+? The OST that was leaked and the one that’s on Sitting on Clouds doesn’t have any of those songs
>>537291156My top most wanted machine, make him an offensive machine with extra attacks that make it great in crowds.
I miss heat phan phan
Are there any uploads of tracks 117, 119 and 128 and on from Star Crossed World at all?
>>537294698Found this playlist on YouTube, seems to have the extra tracks.https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLndAFLV1fDLJiQzxdpJ9-73s8_zxpzW4Y
>>537291542 some fire attacks would be nice... i was thinking something more handling-focused where drifting makes it go into a walking mode.
>>537295692141, 142, and 144 - 147 are still missing, but at least we have some
How many tracks are there in the game once you 100% both basegame and SCW? Is it 148? That's what I've got in my soundtest but something about that number feels wrong.
>>537298327https://wikirby.com/wiki/Jukebox/Kirby_and_the_Forgotten_LandIt is 150 according to the wiki
>>537298643Ok yeah that makes sense but now I'm wondering where the hell the other 2 songs I might've missed could be, since I did 100% the thing, I even remember doing the HAL rooms...
>>537299048Go into Kirby's house, that helped me get the last two.
I still feel scammed that I bought the complete Forgotten Land soundtrack a week before they announced the switch 2 version and Star Crossed World, now it literally isn’t complete and that bothers me more than it should especially when the new music is good …But at least I have a cool music box and photo frame now?
How are you guys gonna approach the dlc ?As someone who's playing the game for the first time I'm thinking about just saving all of the new levels for the post-game.
>>537304191I think you should play them side by side, playing it after the base game with upgrade abilities makes it feel a bit out of place.
>>537300543Hey, to be fair the FL OST is still pretty big even without the SCW tracks, and I'd definitely say having it in its cleanest quality is worth it, plus the picture frame is a really nice bonus, you can even make your own stuff for it like the 100% SCW picture And hey, for all you know that frame might become some rare stuff down the line, seeing how the prints of the puzzle artwork from the Star Allies OST's first batch have become surprisingly rare nowadays. I will say though, yeah I can understand how it'd sting getting it and having that announced so soon, in my case I got it back in December so it genuinely was the most convenient way for me to listen to the OST freely until they tossed (some) of it onto Nintendo Music. Here's hoping SCW's tracks get at least a smaller jewel case release compared to the big boxes Nintendo soundtracks usually go for.>>537304191I played it as post-game but went out of my way to only use the ability evolutions I would've had by the point in the game the levels would be as brand new unlocks and had a good time. Have a friend who's playing FL for the first time who said the Starry stages flow pretty naturally into the existing stages though, could be worth considering. It's not like the stages are these big bumps in difficulty like, say, HiAD for example.
>He strikes again>He made a few better more star like and less human designs before settling on the human oneUnrelated to all that, do you guys have any theories for Starman and Broom hatter? I ask because those smash trophies really just recontextualize both of their characters with broom being a witch apprentice while Starman has heroic courage. Are these singular traits to just two members of their respective species or is this like an all Starman and Broomhatters thing?
trying to downgrade this guy into his smaller forms because there's no way anyone is going to draw all that crystal shit
>>537305424>prints of the puzzle artwork from the Star Allies OST's first batchI own that and those prints too, it’s nice having limited Kirby merch (although the FL soundtrack seems easier to get considering I could still buy it in the Kirby cafe’s shop back in June)SCW getting an individual CD would be nice to have it physically (I also bought the small jewel case CD mini FL soundtrack), it will probably happen before the music ever gets on the music app considering that both SA and FL on the music app are the same as the CD versions
>>537307614>Alt formsHonestly I always thought that change is cause of how they also changed the name, when outside of his native world he ends up looking like that if he doesn't travel by mirror while in star allies he's kinda a bit more see through like he's close but not really there so he looks more like he did back in AM
>>537304425Yeah, I just reached the part where the cutscene shows up and I think you're right lol. I was kinda hoping they'd be more like harder stages for those who conplete the base game but oh well, first level was pretty fun.
>>537270298Here's Galacta Knight too bad he isn't in the game
>>537308012Its actually because shadow kirby was illegally doping on hypernova fruit to get on equal footing with kirby.
>>537308412He took it easy on lil bro all those years ago, now that he knows kirby he pranks him with a hammer to the puff
I've watched a few switch kirby game ranking videos and multiple people have put Dream Course over Fighters 2. Whats wrong with people?!
>>537307614Huh, looking pretty good actually, appreciate the attention to detail when it comes to his ear not being chipped compared to Elfilin's. I will say, I have a few autistic notes I took of the design from overanalyzing the figure and him during the fight...>Eyes are VERY different from Elfilis's, being closer to 4-pointed stars as opposed to ringed.>He seems to be either furless or at least has something of a seal fur situation going on>His tail actually starts wide and narrows down into the tip where the crystal mace is.>Maybe making the cheeks have a star shape instead of being ovals could help call back to the star marks on his full form? Since you could somewhat relate Elfilin's to Elfilis's whiskers.
>>537309067Because they cant value peak. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qh5VLF43NFQ>>537309316I think he should have the orb/crystal between his horns or something relating to it because i think its a big part of meteonelfilis design.
>>537309316>>537309581i'll keep these in mind, although i'm trying to get rid of whatever I think is the 'starry' part of him--Genwel is a massive fusion between him and the Starries as far as I can tell and doesn't necessarily equate to his original/downgraded forms - half of it could just be starry influenceand i don't know if i can be assed to draw that void orb and the horn crest, but those don't look like they'd be natural to him anyway.
>>537310516If theres no starries meant to be involved then there might not be an orb, honestly i wish we saw a version of him before he absorbed the starries it feels weird that hes always going to be in that form in everything hes in, it would be like if cooler was always in his 4th transformation.
Let's say you're being held at gunpoint and forced to make an animated feature length Kirby movie.What do you do?What studio should make the movie?What characters and other elements from the games should be in the movie?What should the story be?What games and/or other source material should be adapted? What original things should be added?Who are you gonna cast as the main characters? Will you avoid the "celebrity casting" meme?What other things should be in the movie?
READY. >I WILL GRANT YOU ONE WISH. >
>>537312643I wish Starwalker was a hero and got many kisses from Kirby often!
>>537312757>Starwalker
>>537312072I've had shower thoughts about what a kirby movie would be like although i have no clue on what studio or people would be suited for it.Kirby should talk like he does in the audio CD and have similar characterization to the novels, I think the story should be a combination of dreamland 1/spring breeze and metaknights revenge where the plot leads from dedede getting his ass beat by kirby to meta knight getting frustrated at how dreamlands laziness let dedede almost get away with it. That way you have all 4 main characters in it and have them develop their dynamics as rivals but also friends.
>>537312978>Adaptation of Spring Breeze to RoMK to Milky Way Wishes>Kirby Super Star the movieThrow in some characters and lore from later games (i.e Shimomura and Kumazaki games) and I'd be fine with this premise desu
>>537312948Yes, will also join. Starman is already a hero, I want Starwalker to join him. you can't have a solar system or night sky with just one star shining bright
>>537312757>>537313504OK. >3... 2... 1... GO! >
>>537313353I did think that milky way wishes would be a bit too much for 1 film, you could extend milky way wishes to a full galaxy adventure film. Also that kirby loses his copy ability just seems like a sequel idea.What lore/characters could you add that wouldn't interfere with other stories being adapted? like you cant throw magolor in dreamland until he crashes and starts adventure wii.
>>537313504Gross.
>>537313657Good points here. Yeah, you may be right.>What lore/charactersMaybe Adeleine or the animal friends? Gooey wouldn't work because he'd have to be tied to a Dark Matter plot...
Remember that anyone shilling Starman is not a true Kirby fan, they’re trendhoppers and grifters.
>>537314105I can see the animal friends working out, like kirby goes through grassland and meets rick, a forest and meets coo, water and kine. There are enough characters to work out a story i think though, have meta knights whole crew as a force at the start of it but have their plans to stop dedede upended by kirby bulldozing through and have bandana dee as a conscientious objector to dedede and join forces with kirby.
>>537314378What’s with people trying to make forced memes out of Moo Moo in Mario Kart and Starman in Air Riders? These are not exactly interesting characters
>>537315796Neither was Waddle Dee at the start, now he's Bandana Dee and is a staple cast member of this series
>>537315796the starman stuff is literally sakurai trying to forcibly boost his popularity
>>537316340won’t work, there’s no substance to Starman.
the anons are arguing again...
>>537316340You act like this isn't the case for anything Sakurai wants to do in a game he makes. Nobody questions his choices on trophy descriptions for 2 generics who he gives bogus lore that is not held up anywhere else or even really consistent.>>537316931Sakurai says he's cute & apparently has the courage of a hero. He's got as much as any other enemy that can join Kirby's adventure as a friend. Even gave him a new cape
>>537317063I just don't like it when someone tries to force popularity, makes it feel fake.
anyone know where i can get transparent pngs of the kirb 64 planets
>>537316931>>537317063Air Riders marks the first playable appearance of Starman, right? Before this he was only in Adventure, Squeak Squad and RTDL?
>>537316000>>537316340Shitty little joke doodle inspired by these two posts
>>537317971gave me a chuckle, thanks anon
>>537317545It has to start somewhere and instead of forcing it, he just placed him in the spot light just like everyone else for the trailer. He's only as forced as you could say Cappy is and that's the core difference, Starman is defined as cute and has a cape. Then people start looking back at his past and trophy and the whole "he could be mistaken for the hero...has the courage of one" makes him a bit more likeable especially in the wake of Superman's latest greatest movie. All factors just came together for Starman to rise into being highly likeable with very little work since he wasn't hated before and was just around. Superman ironically paved the way for Starman's big break.>>537317725Yes if I'm recalling right, he only appears in a few games as well as the golf one(a total of 11 games feature him) and none had him as someone you could recruit or buddy with.
Is Star Crossed World the first time Megumi Ohara and Shogo Sakai did work for a “main” Kirby platformer?
Do you think sakurai sometimes wakes up in a cold sweat at night, wishing he had made the first cpu a starman in megaton punch instead of a waddle dee
>>537318667Is one of those the mother 3/rainbow curse/mass attack musicians, because I swear I heard some music that sounded like the,
>>537318693Who knows, if this is really some thing with Sakurai I just wonder how long he waited for it. The trophy was from Wii U and that's pretty much the only time Starman was referred to as some kinda of hero or praised in any way as games don't seem to really talk about him much like they do with other pause screens. Not even the wiki apparently has any other quotes for him beyond that 1 from the trophy Maybe it's cause Hal kept skipping him for every game that let enemies become playable? We may never honestly know
>>537318842Sakai, aye.
>>537318842Yeah, I heard the lava level theme and was instantly reminded of a similar one from Mass Attack. Same composer.https://youtu.be/zcOjmtYb7gwhttps://youtu.be/f9LRAka4oDA
>>537320456Is it odd to say shogo sakai reminds me of a japanese grant kirkhope
>>537320709NTA but as a major Kirkhope autist I can kinda hear it.
>>537320709I kinda get what you mean, mainly in his big band sorta sound. I find that he plays in a lot of different genres and sounds compared to Kirkhope. Then again, I don't know much of Kirkhope's works outside of Banjo.Definitely look through this playlist because he's done a ton of shit for HAL and Kirby. Probably my personal favorite composer from HAL.https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6l-Plj7QH4Q5v1WFj_avmbgv_fdCAs92
>watch a "new lore video">"DURR DA ANCIENTS SEALED VOID">didn't mention aeon at allfucking lorelets, I swear.
>>537320456that song also reminds me of air rides magma race course song.
What should the plot of the next kirby game be?
>>537327717ancient return arc, it really feels like that's what we've been building to since we more or less know everything about them at this point plus hyness pretty much implied they are still around in some form (and the graffiti does say "see you in the NEW WORLD" which is implied to be dreamland), I imagine them being like doctor doom with magic tech, perhaps maybe the other three heroes of legend could show up.I think at the very least morpho will have some lore revealed about him
Aw shit, here I go again.I know last thread I tried imagining what a story for a Kirby movie would be like and ended up not liking my own idea, but I tried again. Still kinda a stupid plot desuhttps://pastebin.com/zRNsFix3
>>537329090Idk if they will show up in game i think we'll just keep getting hints about them, i guess it will be more stuff surrounding them or things from previous games like txd and robobot did.
>>537329253 (me)slightly updated https://pastebin.com/mm5Xj4EV
https://soundcloud.com/retro-bird-ai/jump-through-the-fire-starman-song-kirby-air-ridersSomeone made him a song. Also I have a bit of a question: Have Broom Hatter, Starman, or even Glunk and Gordo ever made sounds? None of them have mouths and I'm really trying to think if even Glunk makes some sort out muffled kinda noise
>>537327717Susie’s mom tries to finish what her husband started in mechanizing pop star but with a steampunk twist
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjcdgkDoclwStarman's special lasts a pretty good while, also has a little roll animation for landing
>>537329634perhaps we might see more of the magic aspect, we don't know too much about thata magic artisan arc could be cool maybe
>>537338608Hmm, if the science ancients end up creating the lor starcutter that ends up with magolor a wizard, you think the opposite will happen? A scientist ends up with a magical artifact?
>>537336507I love how the game calls you out for pushing the stick forward.
>>537339227It's gonna be a bad habit since Sakurai showed off that holding forward will also fuck up your jumps and landings.Also, I'm wondering who has the longest super out of the cast we got to see. Base Kirby seemed to have one of the shortest beaten out by maybe 3 others while Starman seems close to tied with blue Kirby and Red Kirby for distance and duration. Dedede's kept cutting out and I haven't looked for a clip to see if anyone shows it off in full action, same with Meta knight
>>537338810that's certainly a possibility, nova was powered by star rods so it would make sense that the knew how to work with it to some extent, whatever is next will probably reveal something significant I bet.
When was the last time Sakurai aged?
>>537340240he de-aged going by that one old ass picturegooks are just built different.
fuck it https://pastebin.com/wsAs4NuX
>>537341923>anime lore
>>537343295yeah
>>537343295NTA but the Mario movie called back to the super show, I'd honestly be more surprised if a Kirby movie didn't at least call back to it.
>>537343830Also NTA but the sonic movies are basically sonic x but less bad
>>537343872More like Sonic X if you cut out half of the adventures. Chris may suck but Tom's kinda just around after movie 1, he doesn't go on to do that much
>>537343992>he doesn't go on to do that muchHe does, he's Sonic's adoptive dad (lol)
>>537344085Yeah that's movie one and pretty much not really needed since sonic really shouldn't be a child in the first place by the time the green eye era and shadow came along. The movies are good but it's pretty much just kid sonic the franchise rather than just Sonic. It kinda defeats the point of tails who also progressively did nothing in the 2 movies he got to be in. Knuckles is probably one of the only sorta in tune ones. It's like how people here complain about how the show made Kirby a veritable baby
>>537343872At least Sonic in X felt more like himself even if he spent so much screentime just lazing around because of the animation budget. Movie Sonic feels like an insecure little loser-ass kid who can barely back up any of his trash talk for muuuch longer than it makes any kind of sense.
>>537344410>Knuckles is probably one of the only sorta in tune ones.i can't really say much since i've never actually seen the movies but knuckles apparently beating up iblis and getting the flames of disaster is pretty weird but i also don't mind it as an idea. now when's the king dedede spinoff show where it's actually more about some guy hanging with him while playing baseball, also dedede has the triple star for some reason
>>537345691>knuckles beating up iblis and getting the flames of disasterif that's all they'll adapt out of sonic 06 then that's a good thing
Dimension Mirror: Ancient artifact or no?
>>537346374Fucking anything goes for the mirrors, they are so unexplained and ambiguous I need to know more about them and dark mind even if it means more mirror clones/d mind forms.
>>537270039Was it worth the $20?
>>537346852I got more Elfilis lore so that alone justifies both its price and the Switch 2 for me.But really though I did my semi-review for it last thread, in summary I'm more than happy with it and definitely feel I got my money's worth, great new levels, amazing new fights, amazing music, very damn pretty visuals, the technical boost is very nice (though for me it's mainly 60fps, my monitor's only 1080p anyway, but the antialiasing is way nicer) and fucking incredible lore implications.
>>537345691That's mostly a spin off thing, the 3rd movie really doesn't even bring it up. It's not a terrible idea since knuckles has flame in his history and it makes more sense to associate something called the flames of disaster with the red guy who actually uses fire since Sonic made far less sense even when it was Silver being gaslit. More over the show never actually ends up saying the name Iblis for the thing he killed, only that in killing it he got the flames of disaster(just flaming fists, it really didn't actually do too much else)
>>537312978I'd say Nightmare for the story of Kirby movie 1, play up the antithesis of Kirby being the Dream hero vs the everlasting Nightmare, then Shimomura's Dark matter for a post credit scene for the sequel. Then Kumazaki era stuff for either 3 or 4 depending on how much they want spend on dark matter or maybe do amazing mirror and/or squeak squad for 3.
>>537346852I don’t regret getting it but it was a little overpriced
>>537348951I don't think nightmare works for the first film because you have to have the setup of dedede being an asshole first to get the fake out at the end.
>>537349364NTA but maybe do it a little like RBAY where Dedede is basically scammed by Nightmare (from what I remember of the anime)?
>>537349482I still think that having the first film set up the main characters through a conflict that ends with them as friends works better for kirbys actual character, and if we are trying to adapt the games stories then i think it works with nightmare as a sequel antagonist.
>>537349364You could tie up both the plots for the Kirby movie (A plot/beginning plot for Dedede stealing food, b plot for nightmare)
>>537350017This also can work. Dark matter being movie 2 or 3 is fine.
>>537350094meant for >>537350001
>>537350001True.>>537350017Yeah, this works
>>537350017I did think about that but idk how you would structure the movie to have dedede get thrashed by kirby and then have him at the fountain of dreams, it could work, though idk how you fit meta knight into it as an obvious fan favorite that people would be upset if not included.
>>537350315Reinventing characters randomly seems like a staple for videogame movie adaptions recently (and non-recently) so they could make Meta Knight the protector of Fountain of Dreams that Kirby and Dedede have to fight against (then in game king dedede fashion, reveal that he wasn't an enemy but was trying to warn kirby off from releasing Nightmare)This is only if they actually do go for the reinventing route, otherwise, yeah they'd have to fit in the anti-lazy dreamland plot for him somewhere.
>>537349096Based on the content it should’ve been $5-10. But Nintendo would never reasonably price anything.
>>537350997>>537350315You have to use at least 1 extra of Sakurai's choice for the film, akin to how the mario movie had toad, except it has to be one of Sakurai's choice

>>537346852Honestly, as a booster to the game on a fresh save or first playthrough, i'd say yes, but for returning players, probably not, if they had tossed 4 bosses in there or something, like Kracko and 2 more new beast pack members and a secret boss in the arena, then yeah. The level design is absolutely wonderful though.

So from what I’m gathering: Why the New World fell to ruin and everybody left, it was all Neichel’s fault?
>>537379948the poem did exist before so nah, besides ID-F86 actually gave them the means to warp out of there so really the worst she was guilty of was making people feel safe via song then leaving the world which obviously would fall to neglect after that when they went to halcandrait wasn't anything done out of malice but out of fear for a potential end of the world.
>>537352118Morpho because you get heals fairly often. Mage Sisters and Kawasaki is a good combo, but Morpho Sword has healing in the ability.
>>537378462can I criticize this
whys this new game 80 dollars
>>537385290If you’re talking about star crossed world, I’d recommend buying forgotten land by itself first and then if you enjoy it enough, buy star crossed world as an expansion. If you’re talking about air riders, it’s not, it’s $70
>>537381181Wasn’t it still Neichel’s fault that ID-F86 came to the New World and everything that followed? If ID F-86 hadn’t heard Neichel’s singing, it wouldn’t have come to the New World and it wouldn’t have been destroyed in the end
Hes a jolly fellow!
>>537401696Reminder that Kirby isn’t even close to being a Saint. He’s a little shit.
>>537401696perturbed kirb
>>537401696I miss this side of Kirby. Not that he was always just a giant prick, Avalanche is a weird localized outlier for a reason, but it feels like he has as much personality as a wet towel with a smiley face drawn on it in most games these days.
>>537403270Blame Kumazaki for that one. The only time we see Kirby really express himself is when he or his entire world is about to die.
>>537409836should've ended with amerikirby nuking japkirby
>>537403270What the fuck is meta knight doing.
>>537406003>The only time we see Kirby really express himself is when he or his entire world is about to dieBeing happy is how Kirby expresses himself. You don't have to be angry to express your feelings.
>Alongside the HAL room itself, one of the metal block arrangements during the sled mouth race spells out HALoh you cheeky dogs
>>537411760Yes, you are right. But it would be nice to see Kirby express himself in other ways, in other forms of happiness, or just emote a little more similar to Adventure and KSS/KSSU.
>>537412836Early Kirby games were sillier and more cartoony as they were targeted for children. Modern Kirby is comparably more serious, so the characters being less expressive indicates the increased level of maturity expected from players.
Bait used to be believable
>>537414063they still are for children
>>537414775Yes, but the original audience for the series has also matured, so there is a lot less slapstick and comedy which used to give the characters a wider degree of expression early on.
>>537270039how many levels are in forgotten world? I pirated it on my homebrew switch and never finished it. Then how much content is the star crossed world DLC? Might just get it because kirby games are always a nice little romp.
>>537415491the games matured by maybe two years of its original audience. still a children's game.
>>537415953It is, but it the spectrum of emotional expression has been significantly reduced in newer games as it is no longer a necessity to maintain the audience's attention.
>>537416482well that's gay
Place your bets: dramafag or Kumazakifag doing mental gymnastics?
Is it the cape that makes him fly? Is he starman because of the cape or is he starman because he's a star and a man? If you take away his cape, is he just star or man? What sound does he make?
>>537403270>Avalanche is a weird localized outlier for a reasonto be fair that was just them stapling arle's traits onto kirby, though a bit exaggerated since i don't think she was that snarky until tsu-sun. really arle acts more like kirby under sega's reign with her just being happy almost all the time, though i guess when they keep making the idol voice character the main star it happens.
>direct either 9/11 or 9/12Any predictions
>>537425002only kirby related thing is probably just a few air riders updates
>>537425002Knuckle Joe revealed for Air Riders in a strangely long shill segment
>>537425002Starman, Knuckle joe, and broom hatter in the next Kirby spin off game
If that planet robobot remaster is true and the direct is on September 11, there will be so many 9/11 jokes
>>537425002Just Air Riders stuff. A few characters/stars or a City Trial online demo. Might be reserving some things (courses, extra modes, unlockables) for an October Air Riders direct.If the Planet Robobot rumor is true, we won't hear anything about it until next year. It would tie in nicely for the 10th anniversary and give more time to polish the next 3D game for 2027.
>>537427724Idk if we will get another full air riders focused direct, i think it would be segment in a regular direct, like short bit about the story mode that shows it off and new characters/machines.

Oh god. I just had a cursed thought. What if DreamWorks makes a Kirby movieDreamworks face Kirby
>>537429394I think we are out of the era of incredibly off-base adaptations especially if nintendo gets a say in it, they don't want another mario movie situation.
Jack Black as Kirby"I... am Kirby..."
>>537429765True but even if it was good, such a movie would probably be very cursed
>>537429394If anyone is going to make a Kirby movie it's either going to be>A new division by HAL created just for the creation of a Kirby movie>Marza Animation Planet Inc, best known for that really good CGI Lupin movie>Illumination Studio's since Nintendo trusted them with the Mario movie. >Studio Mappa, best known for In This Corner of the World
>>537430029>IlluminationNo.
>>537430173You cannot deny it's a genuine possibility with Nintendo co-signing on Illumination with the creation of the Mario movie.
>>537430519I know its autism but anything other than it looking like the actual games cutscenes in style would irk me, idk how much you can fuck it up but i know dedede would look the worst.
>>537430778Maybe I'm giving HAL too much credit, but I have a feeling they wouldn't let Illumination fuck up Kirby too much if they were chosen to produce a Kirby movie.
Isn't Dreamworks also another subsidiary of Universal, which Nintendo is all buddy buddy with (ironic considering their history)
If there's a Kirby movie, who would the villain be? Nightmare? Marx?
>>537431528Marx and THEN Nightmare
Tbh Marx as a movie villain would be tricky because most viewers are fans who already know he is gonna betray Kirby, so the twist is lessened imo
>>537428462Yeah they'll probably want to follow up on that Dark Matter tease as soon as they can. Forgot about that.>>537428669It just seems like a little too much Kirby for such a short span of time. We just got a Switch 2 expansion for Forgotten Land and Air Riders is being promoted as a major release.
>>537432063>It just seems like a little too much Kirby for such a short span of timeThey're just hyping up the franchise to prepare people for the secret upcoming movie /s
>>537432231Didn’t something happen with Kirby’s anime company recently?
>>537432343Yeah it got bought out by Nintendo to become their division for partner with film studios for adaptations of *any* Nintendo franchise, no joke
>>537432632 (me)For patnering*Plus, they specifically stated the division will continue to work on non-game Kirby stuff, which seems verrrry suspicious Expect a Kirby movie within the next 5 years
>>537432902Either that or an anime revival, which actually make sense since sakurai is working on the franchise again
>>537431937Actually, maybe they could play into that fact, playing with the idea we know Marx is an evil cunt but Kirby doesn't.
>>537432343What exactly do you mean by Kirby's anime company? Do you mean Warpstar Inc that manages the Kirby brand in general, or do you mean Studio Sign and Studio Comet who produced the series?
>>537433163Nta but yeah Warpstar. It's now Nintendo Stars
>>537433163In any case, Warpstar Inc got rebranded to Nintendo Stars recently, it manages the Kirby franchise in general as well as film stuff for other Nintendo properties.
>>537433340Except Pokemon, obviously.

>>537431528Zero would be the most hype.
>>537385290The DLC is 20, you can probably find either a used copy or even a new one for 40 bucks and just pay 60 for the whole thing. The main thing with getting the physical version would be having the DLC on the cartridge itself if you care about that, really.

>>537434952Hynden Walch as Susie
Rewatched the ending of star crossed world that meteon elfilis didnt die hes just re-sealed, and elfilin implies that he was sealed by them at some point in the past. So does that mean that both elfilis's where sealed by the starries until something happened that let them out?
This might sound retarded but the first SpongeBob movie seems like it follows kind of plot structure/formula that would be good for a Kirby movieLike, have Kirby be childish and fuck up somewhere, and his quest is to save Dedede and all of Dreamland from a threat, all to learn that being full of joy and childlike whimsy is ok, etc
>>537435709As someone who enjoys just Poyo and Hi kirby, I'm gonna say it's best to not start it like that and keep your kirb consistent. Instead have Keeby join the story as the childish Kirby depiction that appears through the film but is still just as helpful as Kirby. He's yellow and 100% has a smoother brain
Amazing Mirror would be a decent one off kirby movie if you weren't trying to start a KCU and just wanting to have an 1 hour adventure film with multiple settings and depicting Kirby in ways that nod on each main depiction
>>537436970>spoilersomehow i feel like this is a jab at orange cats for being fucking retarded
>>537437313Would it be accused of jumping in on the multiverse trend
>>537437523Technically not since, if it isn't supposed to be a big franchise starter or piece film, then it's just the same way it was back in the game: Kirby experiences another version of the world he knows but now with Keeby and 2 randos. You can even show off kirby's cool phone. Bigger issue is how many district zones you could do for the hour run time and how many bosses you could directly get in while not skimming too much of the game's areas
>>537435139It's not like it would be the first time she's come back for a new gamehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1FqDhcn0AM
>>537438202I would love to see a new render of Adeleine without the "gigantic hands" problem that Hal has. It always bothered me when they started doing that with Dedede and I'm glad to see Sakurai make him look more normal again.
>>537270039To any anon whose beaten Ultimate Cup Z EX, where would you rank it among every other True Arena/Final Boss Rush in the series? Does it top RTD DX’s True Arena?
>>537443179It’s definitely not harder than RTDLDX’s. Ultimate Cup Z EX is almost identical to the Ultimate Cup Z - only differences are there’s only one additional boss the mid bosses are reskinned, and Chaos Elfilis has new attacks.My True Arena Difficulty ranking would be (from hardest to easiest):1. Soul Melter EX2. RTDLDX3. Planet Robobot4. Triple Deluxe5. Ultimate Cup Z EX6. Super Star UltraIf Robobot didn’t have Galacta Knight and Star Dream Soul OS, it probably would be at #5, but those two bosses are such a pain in the ass and a difficulty spike it gets #3 for those two alone.
>>537444073I’ve been stuck on Star Dream Soul OS for fucking years. I just want permanent access to UFO already…
>SCW didn't add back fighter>Not even SmashMy pain is immeasurable
>>537435067>>537438513The highly concerning fact that Sakurai never referenced her before could also be grounds for him to pull a Ridley-tier curveball. But her odds are still 47% at best.
Ya know the mirror world if full of counter parts like Shadow Kirby, Shadow Meta Knight, and Shadow Dedede. So where is Shadow Keeby since I'm to assume he's Kirby's neighbor at this point
>>537438513Do you think Sakurai would model her after Star Allies or Kirby 64? He used old designs for some Smash characters, so he might follow the same philosophy.
>>537445969It took me forever too, I finally beat it right before FL came out as I tried to beat all existing games before its release. It was a very close call too, I got very lucky. It really is such a bitch of a boss, I truly think that’s why people consider Robobot’s True Arena one of the hardest because aside from that and Galacta Knight the bosses aren’t that difficult.
>>537435658seems like it, the meteor entering the atmosphere was most likely the cause

They keep actually pulling out the fucking "Kirby of the stars" in SCW and it hits me like a truck every single time.
you know what would look really cool?starry/genwal zero 2

>>537446489>adeleine this ribbon thatits time for HER to come back
>>537459589Sorry.
>>537461178i really hope for another ripple star related game, i want to see more of the place the first stage just being pop star's first stage is something i get due to 64 probably being downsized heavily for an n64 cart but it still sucks a bit that all the stages are short or just an enemy rush even if the N-Z room before the third level ends is cool.
Did this for myself but I figured I might as well share it here: For anyone else who got the Complete OST with the picture frame, here's a to-scale edit of the SCW 100% Clear screen, scaled it specifically for U.S. Letter print. The colors came out a bit fucked on mine but I think my printer's kinda running out of ink so I'll blame that. But still, pretty happy with how it turned out (the irl frame has slightly different proportions from the in-game one hence a bit of it being cutoff, that and the screen's render itself is different from the figure's render for whatever reason. https://files.catbox.moe/0ij5t4.png
>>537462525can someone edit out bandana
>>537462856gay
What would Friend starman look like since Star allies says most characters get their ability hats when Kirby befriends them. Would he get an extra cape since kirby's hat gives him one or would it just be the wings?
>>537459589Shut the fuck up you worthless parasite.
>>537446489The use of Ridley-tier here is really funny, but at the same time I dunno who that'd actually apply to the Kirby series, since it sure isnt her. Maybe like, Escargoon or an anime character?
>>537464012Maybe Zero Two? I mean he's huge, There's also Galactic Nova
>>537462525Nice stuff.
>>537464409tiny nova on an air ride machine would be fucking adorable and an acceptable piece of sakurai era favoritism
Kirby talks!
>>537467421i miss manuals just for stuff like this where they give character to them, same with the DKC manuals and cranky kong.
>>537464012>I dunno who that'd actually apply to the Kirby series, since it sure isnt her.It would have to be someone from 64, though. That's the one game Sakurai has gone on record stating he avoided playing, and the mainline Kirby game that got scammed in Ultimate the hardest. No other inclusion would really be able to emulate that sense of an impossible comeback.And that's assuming he'll actually bite the bullet with 64 this time, which is completely uncertain.
>>537468364>Sakurai has gone on record stating he avoided playingSource?
>>537468364considering air ride had 64 songs i don't think that claim has too much to back it up unless you have a source but if it is true then it wouldn't make much sense from most angles.>is it because it's a sequel? no, even discounting smash bros DL3 is already a sequel to 2>too many humanoids? maybe, but the fairies only provide a basic plot and only ribbon shows up much and ado was already slightly prominent in 3 with the credits pictures>because he voiced dedede? no, i can get maybe being weirded out hearing your voice acting when playing a game but again smash kind of disproves this unless he just never played as dededeat best i can maybe see him being cautious due to 64's troubled development, but unless there's backup to this claim (which can be difficult, i know a few other anecdotes from interviews that can only really be found by people bringing it up after the fact, especially if the initial interview is in japanese) then it just feels a bit baseless and possibly made up to stoke the fire of sakurai's biases to his games.

>>537482801But he didn't mind recording his voice for the role of Dedede in it
>>537482801>for an actual legitimate reason related to how he felt about the series as a whole as opposed to "I HATE this game in particular REEEEEEEE">obvious Adofag left that bit out, naturally

>>537497705as a ridersfag i might like it but at the same time the extreme gear doesn't really look like it feels like those old games and the characters not having their riders costumes as an options puts me off even more even if i know it's a kart racer first and a riders game third, the non-sega crossover characters are a bit too much too, i know the sega all stars racers had that too but it feels a lot more corporate with paramount and crossovers just being bigger (probably mainly due to fortnite) in media the past few years. i'll eat my words if the extreme gear ended up being similar to riders if anyone here played the open betas, and if a puyo character is part of the sega game crossovers then my love for that series will make me buy it, the babylon rogues are already making me consider but i gotta wait until it releases.
>>537498606You do know you can just play the beta now right? The boards play as you think, they are mainly just another option to the cars and are the boost stat. It's not a riders game third, it's a riders game not at all as there is very little different beyond animations. There are no special board only routes or things only a board can do, they are just there as an option. If you have any idea of it being riders anything beyond having a board I can tell you now, you will have no interest in the game if the core gameplay itself isn't in your interests because the boards play the same as the cars.
>>537499502>You do know you can just play the beta now right?i actually forgot. my bad too late at night for me to get into it right now though.kind of expected that for the boards, a little saddened but it's fine, i did like the all star games so maybe i'll pick it up since i liked those games.
>>537499792I'll say this, I personally didn't like the all star games but I like this one and the beta has certainly sold me on what was going to be an iffy pre order of deluxe since I heard Tangle was gonna be in it down the line from leaks of a board or probable nods. I'd say it comes down to how chaotic the race can feel and how gears allow me to flat out bullshit come backs. It helps to not have the MKW issue of nobody being able to pull ahead since you can pull really damn far away in this one and there are only a few items I could really say were undodgable(main threat being a ghost that does a straight line attack that locks onto you first and will hit anyone in the thin path behind you, and the vehicle cutting one since that shit pretty much seems to have one of the furthest sightline based targeting in the game and even when I had a boost it seemed that the moment that shit left someone's hand I could do nothing about it.); the invincibility doesn't let you go over grass either, instead you need the monster truck which is a static form as even on the boards you will get the truck.Current part of the beta now is team matches with special rules like ring collection for end tally, bumping players or tricks. Being more of a Sonic R & Riders type of guy(I liked Riders 1 but the rest kinda shit the bed on controls or made it simplified, and I prefer sonic to actually run for races) It's enjoyable
>>537500384>spoileri actually really liked zero gravity, i get why people don't though. wish that spinoff didn't crash and burn so hard with free riders being a shitty kinect game.
>>537501315Free riders, even if it hadn't been on connect, really wasn't gonna do much. While ZG did have an innovated counter balance to the simplification Free really didn't haven anything notable behind it and was even more simplified than ZG. ZG's biggest hold back was the fact you were restricted to motion controls and the nerfed Trick system
I am a proud pedo!
think meteon has a tiny good part in him like elfilin?
>>537503405yes and it's the embodiment of pre-forgotten land "elfilin's going to be another magolor/marx" speculation
>>537492084Please Elfilis anon I beg, save your emotes in a zip file to download, been lurking the last few threads saving any Elfilis emote art you've drawn. Also hi everyone.
>>537503535>elfilin's going to be another magolor/marxtechnically this did happen. just not the way people expected.
need art of meteon being confused as to why his younger brother became tiny and adorable.
>>537503787Also added Daroach and Escargoon to the picture, not the best at drawing things to fit on backgrounds, hope that's fine.
>>537505515Looks fine to me. Good job.
so I was listening to the audio in the volcano area (before the final boss) "Prescient Stirring Fa-lu-wa-a Song" and I swear I hear "INITIATING" and "I'm coming to get you" mixed in as well as what sounds like Japanese around the 42 second mark and the start I hear "you have to find", around 18 second I hear "Kirby...in danger"maybe I'm just hearing things.
>>537511654>the machines have run amok!
is there a name for the song that plays before the final battle in the ultimate cup z ex? the one that repease "the ultimate life form" over and over?
>>537512831AND HERE WE ARE
>>537514878that's the original version though called " the eternal echo of the thrilling tour"
>>537515006the new one is prescient stirring fa-lu-wa-a I believe.
>>537468543https://web.archive.org/web/20030610004527/http://www.nintendo.com/games/gamepage/developerinfo.jsp?gameId=312>This interview was conducted before Kirby 64 was released in Japan, and was originally posted on Nintendo Co. Ltd's website.>Have you seen Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards yet?>I haven't played it yet. Actually, I've been trying to avoid even taking a peek at Kirby 64. I'm afraid I'd start making comments which might conflict with the vision of the development team and create confusion. What I take from this is that Sakurai didn't look at 64 during development because he didn't want to influence Shimomura and his team too much, and planned to play the game after release.
>>537517213he must of liked it enough to put that zero two remix into smash so that's worth noting.I'd love to know what he thinks about the lore considering it borrows from both him and shimora
Stephen Merchant as Marx
>>537518859Brawl was also the point in the series where you start fighting more godlike and angelic beings. The DMT started that trope in Kirby while Sakurai's villains (Nightmare, Marx) were more traditionally evil.
It's over...
>>537524745That guys says that about everything Nintendo nowadays
>>537517213Thanks dude. I've been looking all over Nintendo's old sites for this. Never knew it got an official translation, either.I'm guessing someone machine translated the Japanese version and it spiraled out of control into some "Miyamoto hates Rare" conspiracy theory shit.Might want to look into the "no humans in the anime" interview as well. There's definitely some missing context there.
>>537524745Who?
>>537527893He's not wrong, Nintendo is ripping people off.
>>537524745Videos like this annoy me because there's so much actual nonsense to talk about with the Switch 2 like the 20 dollar button on the god damn controller, but people will just make slop like this over and over in exchange for views of people who irrationally hate the console. Hard to find actual discussion around the console that isn't this type of stuff or people sucking of Nintendo for allowing them a crumb of mediocre content (I've seen people defend shit like Welcome Tour and it pains me).
>>53753321080$ for a three year old game is kind of bullshit.
>>537535203you can get forgotten land online for around 40 bucks. no smart buyer is paying 80
>>537535481>nintendo>smart buyersYeah, I guess a handful are.
>>537535481Nintendo has been very careful to cultivate an audience who are decidedly not "smart buyers". It's still scummy that they scam people by default though.
>>537535203It's basically paying for a DLC pack, not like you cant buy the normal game on Switch. Though that more becomes an issue of Nintendo never putting their games on sale honestly. Also as the other anon says you can reasonably buy pre-owned. It's not the best but compared to the other switch 2 paid upgrades probably the most worthwhile.
>>537527956RIBBON NO THAT'S A BATAMON
>>537538362I don't think Star-Crossed World as a standalone DLC is worth more than the entirety of Silksong by a longshot but they're priced the same, it's fucked up, Nintendo'd entire Switch 2 Edition thing is a giant scam. But I will commend Hal for actually adding content when they had to do theirs though and the pricing most likely wasn't up to them.
>>537538503Anon, I think you might be seeing things. Look again.
>>537518859That art is gorgeous and holy shit the reflection
Would he falter in the face of Dark matter?
>>537545901He would do a heroic completely sincere speech about good and evil and then get smacked away into the stratosphere.
how much of the lore is kirby even aware oflike does he even know what an ancient is or did that slip past his mindfrom his perspective something interrupted his morning routine and that's all he cares about
>>537547408Keeby is the one who knows the lore
>>537547408He knows about every event that happened directly infront of him, idk if you could even assume he knows susie is haltmanns daughter
>>537547408>>537548234kibry doesn't know why taranza cries about his dead wifeall he knows is that red crayon tastes better than green crayon
>>537548571>>537548234>>537547408It was not kirby shaped there for it is not Kirby Knowledge. You'll need to ask Kirby's heroic heart on more detailed things
>>537533210>20 dollar button on the god damn controllerYou can remap it, I use it for screenshots mainly myself
>>537503787Oh I posted them all in a single pic a while ago I think, I'll try finding the file when I'm back on my computer
>>537425002Kirby crashing into the twin towers with his new air ride; LOBSTER TANK
>>537503405I think it's nearly outright confirmed by the "talk to him a bunch at Kirby's house" dialogue Elfilin got post-DLC where he straight up says "I believe there is good even in Meteonelfilis. When he wakes up again, if our hearts resonate, maybe we could even be friends!", I think that's the closest we might get to HAL saying it upfront
>>537504284It’s kind of funny how both sides ended up being right. Elfilin was the final boss, but he wasn’t evil.
I need a Switch 2 but I cannot financially justify it
>>537503405Yes but the “good part” is still needlessly cruel, difficult, and obsessed with conquest and glory. He can’t be tamed by Kirby.
>>537478310>>537483972I got you a better oneJames Gunn presents Magolorhttps://youtu.be/gVN83R-JwRQMagolor gets a pet Sphere Doomer and Marx shows up as his sociopathic best friend.
>>537503787>>537549190These should be the ones, sorry for taking a while. I do also have some Chaos alts for them, I'll post those later
>>537560519Why does he look so worried in all of them?
>>537560981He is in an unfamiliar place, and is worried about the sanity of those around him.
>>537560981Well with how this place could (and still can) be at times those expressions turned out to be rather useful. But really though, they were some of the ones that came most "naturally" when I did the first few sketches, I do want to revamp these sometime but for now I'd like doing the Meteon variants.
>>537561142Really? he doesn't seem to be the type to care about others wellbeing, maybe his brothers but that might also be in a frieza cooler kind of way.>>537561248True they are well suited for the /kdg/ hellscape.
>>537561463Oh, absolutely not. He's not worried about their sanity for their sake. He's worried about their sanity for his own sake.
>>537561872Maybe thats why he went insane, not because he split but because he peered into the insane mind of king dedede.
>>537547408Kirby skips all lore that isn't friendship-relevant.
>>537547408kirby doesn't care, if you aren't fucking with his friends or planet then you're a friend to him.>>537533210sadly that's just most of the internet in general nowadays, including this very site. like you said it's either shitting on them for everything or being a shill and kissing the ground beneath their feet like it's your best friend. and it goes for shit aside from nintendo too. really i only think the console is ok, nintendo are scummy with the pricing and the stupid game key cards + switch 2 editions but it has a little bit of merit for now for games that end up having framerate issues on the original switch.
>>537560519>I'll post those laterSaid later being now. I was a bit too lazy to do the 2 newest ones in the Chaos style at the time, maybe someday.
>>537566290I get the feeling they will get rid of key cards since nobody is buying them, when even investors think it was a bad idea you know they will move away from them sooner or later.they just need to make smaller carts for indies/third parties that are cheaper.
>>537547408>Heyo Kirby! You already bou- ah sorry, I confused you with the other Kirby. Hey don't look at me like that! I'm a changed man! After you beat me, I took a trip between the dimensions, and the Master Crown tried to crush me! That really made me want to change... for the better. I even took on gardening! So how about we let bygones be bygones, huh, Pink?Ok yea sure
>meteors are going to crash into the planet and destroy the world>what's your source?>I saw it in a dream
