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.


The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword – 9/10 – “Playing the Wii out in style”
Super Mario 3D Land – 8/10 – “A disappointment only by Mario’s own high standards”
Forza 4 – 9/10 – “As close as 50 quid will ever get you to a ferrari” and for mischief I’ll add “Better than GT5”
Rage – 9/10 – “Showing the upstarts how it’s done”
Ace Combat: Assault Horizon – 8/10 – “A thrilling new take on the dogflight”
Burnout Crash – 6/10 – “Fun in small doses”

The Cursed Crusade – 4/10 – “A laughable romp that fails spectacularly”
The Gunstringer – 7/10 – “An entertaining blast of Kinect silliness”
Renegade Ops – 8/10 – “Overblown, ludicrous and incredibly good fun”
BloodRayne: Betrayal – 8/10 – “A brawler with real bite”
X-Men: Destiny – 3/10 – “Destined for the bargain bin”
SkyDrift – 5/10 – “Fair to middling at best – A plane jane”
DoDonPachi Resurrection – 8/10 – “The true meaning of bullet hell”
Leedmees – 4/10 – “Certainly not one to follow”
Worms Crazy Golf – 6/10 – “Worth a shot”
