Send Mario on vacation, Kirby should be the flagship of Nintendo

With Nintendo Switch 2 now in the world, everyone talks about their deep love Nintendo again. As usual, the conversation revolves around the same few iconic characters. Obviously, Mario is basically Mascot Nintendo, so we always want to know what will be for the plumber. Then comes Link, which is not surprising due to the success of the Legend of Zelda series, especially in recent years. Now, with the latest Nintendo console, everyone scares Donkey Kong.

Do not understand me badly, I love DK and enjoy bananza the whole game. Likewise, I cannot say that Mario and Link are not iconic in themselves. But I can say that thanks to this, another character deserves to stand as one of the Nintendo pillars and everyone ignores it. It's time for everyone to give Kirby the love they deserve.

Legend Kirby, our bloated boy -shaped boy

Kirby first appeared at Game Boy in Kirby's Dream Land 1992, followed a year later Kirby's adventure on NES. That was my first exhibition Kirby, and if you didn't play it, I invite you to do so. It is even available in Nintendo Classics on Switch and Switch 2.

Kirby's adventure is not just one of the absolute best examples of NES in the late cycle, but it is also one of the best games carried throughout the life of the console. It's better than Super Mario 3, better than Contra and even better than the teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Arcade Game. It looks great, its play is super entertaining, and this game is so inventive with countless strengths that Kirby can get, that you are rarely losing new ability to handle.

The character was created by Masahir Sakuraim, who is definitely better known as the creator of Super Smash Bros. The character in the shape of a ball with wings and legs is able to suck its enemies to absorb their strength and bloom like a balloon to fly, leading to some amazing platform moments. To complete the character, the name of a lawyer in America Nintendo was named. So Kirby was born. He lives in Dream Land on Planet Popstar and constantly finds herself in the middle of a crazy adventure.

ART OF KIRBY'S LAVINA CALL ON THE SUPER NINTENDO

They all said there were 39 Kirby games if you include the Switch 2 upgrade for Kirby and Forgotten Land, which includes a new world -class stars campaign. This is an incredible number of titles in 33 years, with more than one Kirby game on different Nintendo consoles every year. This in itself puts him in the same rare air as the hardest Hitters Nintendo.

The only reason why I think he would prevent Kirby from being considered the highest hero we all trust him is that most of his games were released on pocket consoles. While Mario, Link and DK's greatest adventures are Nintendo on the main hardware, Kirby debuted to Game Boy, and eventually released on pocket consoles on pocket consoles, from Game Boy to Nintendo 3DS – and this does not include remaster and repetition.

Many just don't think about Kirby when they think the highest levels of Nintendo characters, and maybe I'll know why. Since most of his performances are on handkerchiefs, he could be considered less than. After all, before the switch raised a hand game again, the idea of carrying a console in your pocket always meant less graphics than you would get to a normal console, and sometimes very bad ports of games that were not originally designed to play on your pocket computer.

This is unfortunate, because while Kirby has a lot of hand games, so many of the main console games with franchise are absolute bankers. In addition to Kirby's adventure on NES is Kirby's epic yarn (Wii), Kirby and forgotten land (Switch and Switch 2), Kirby 64: Crystal shards (N64) and even underestimated racing game Kirby Air Ride on the underestimated Gamecube.

Yes, the upcoming Kirby Air Riders is a continuation of this game, which was basically forgotten because it was released in the same year as Mario Kart: Double Dash.

Although he does not have to look at the Nintendo's Mount Rushmore Heroes playground, it did not prevent him from their games. For example, the character appeared in each individual repayment of Super Smash Bros. Although you could say that it is because its creator also created this game, I decided to believe that Nintendo is sending us a gentle sign to give up more respect.

There was also a portrait at the Pokemon (N64), Arcana (SNES) and even Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Gameboy). Then there's an anime kirby: right on ya! And more Mangas in which the character played.

All this shows that there is a audience for Kirby. I hope that the Switch 2 upgrade for forgotten countries leads to the audience to grow, may bring the character to greater importance. Just as I thought it would happen with Kirby Air riders when he sets out at the end of this year, I'm afraid it will be another racer who is simply marked as “no Mario Kart”. Given that the Mario Kart world is not exactly the most popular version of this franchise, maybe 2025 might earn a tradition and become what I really want in the heart of my heart: Kirby year.
