Those who missed out on Toys”R”Us’ “Buy 2 Get 1 Free” deal can take advantage of a similar offer in just a few days. Starting on Sunday, Target will be kicking off a “B2G1F” campaign of their own.

The same terms from Toys”R”Us will likely still apply. This means that pre-order will most likely not be accepted. All games and accessories will be included, however.

The offer lasts until November 5.

Before this week’s release of Kirby’s Return to Dreamland, it had been eleven years since a mainline Kirby game to make it out to the public. So, what took so long? As it turns out, HAL Laboratory was busy working on not one, but three Kirby projects.

The first title, as most fans will remember, was shown during E3 2005 through screenshots and a brief glimpse of footage. The second game featured Copy Abilities with a pop-up book art style. The final project contained 3D gameplay. All three of these titles were canned, though it seems that HAL chose some concepts to include in Kirby’s Return to Dreamland.

The full discussion (along with screenshots) from the latest Iwata Asks interview – now available in English can be found after the break.
