Posted September 16, 2008 I was reading about this earlier. I don't think it's a Kirby Wii game. I think it's just publicity for Kirby Super Stars Ultra. But we'll have to wait and see. It can't not be about Kirby otherwise they would have chosen non specific places to hold the events. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 16, 2008 Super Star Ultra is out in America on September 22nd, they usually promote their games a few days in advance (such as MillionHeir on the DS). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 16, 2008 It's probably Super Star Ultra. It's pretty close to launch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 17, 2008 Maybe they'll be even nicer and announce a fully fledged Kirby Wii at the same time, due for release within 6-8months! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 17, 2008 It's clearly going to be just a PR stunt for the upcoming Kirby DS game (which I'm tempted to import -since Europe ALWAYS get the shaft with Kirby releases!) Anyone else that things it's anything more is only fooling themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
