    And mine as well, assuming Nintendo doesn't blow this golden opportunity.

    Either way, it will sell out quickly and hundreds of entries will be on ebay "$80 B.I.N. SEALED RARE L@@K" a couple days later.

    This. Besides, it's already been done on DS.

    Though technically, the Wii Mario compilation contained four complete games. Kirby Super Star adds up to about one game, since each episode it has is only a few levels long. I'm guessing the lineup will be something like:
    • Kirby's Dream Land (GB)
    • Kirby's Adventure (NES)
    • Kirby's Dreamland 2 (GB)
    • Kirby's Dreamland 3 (SNES)
    • Kirby 64 (N64)


    If they're feeling generous, they'll also include Super Star, and possibly Dream Course. Worst case, it's just the Wii Kirby games in a double-pack.

    If it costs $50 and includes everything up to 16bit then it's more than worth it. Hopefully it includes Superstar, Dream Course, Adventure, and Nightmare in Dreamland(remake of Adventure.)
    Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.

    Hoping it includes Kirby Super Star and Kirby's Dream Land 3. Don't own the original cartridges for those nor do they work on my multicart (Although I own the DS release of Super Star), so I've planned to download them off the Virtual Console someday. Would rather have both games and hopefully a few more on a physical disc.

    I hear NOA stated on their Twitter account that this will be coming stateside, so that's good news.

    I wonder if it will include Kirby Air Ride, or if they aren't going to put that much effort into it like they did with the Mario Anniversary Collection.

    I would like to see it include possibly the best Kirby game to date: Kirby's Pinball Land.

    I'm actually looking forward to this. Though I've been gaming since the NES days, I've somehow never even played any Kirby game. I don't know why, as I have nothing against games with cute characters..

    /me imagines players rotating their Wii consoles to play Kirby's Pinball Land...

    ...

    ...then realizes that the Wii controller has motions controls built-in.

    That, and I think you're thinking of Kirby Tilt N' Tumble.

    True, but could you imagine how cool it would have been to be able to tilt the table in that Kirby pinball game by rotating the GB too?

    Game List Revealed

    Solid games, though no "all-stars" type of treatment. Without at least color improvements for the GameBoy games, I am more on the fence about this collection. Guessing the price will be $30.

    Would have been nice if Kirby's Pinball Land and Kirby's Dream Course were included, but it still looks like a solid compilation.

    Check out the new N64 Rumble Pak. See how it feels to feel what you see.

    Surpasses my expectations. I was hopeful we'd get the NES, two SuperNes, and the N64 release. The two classic Game Boy platformers are just icing on the cake. Nice to see all the classic Kirby platformers included here with only spinoffs (and platformers from the past decade) being absent.

    Glad I've never bought the two SuperNes games on the Virtual Console. Been close more than once but something else always caught my eye. Would've been $16 wasted in light of this. At least Kirby's Adventure only cost me $5 (And if Super Mario All-Stars was any indication, this won't maintain the save state feature of the VC so my download still will have something to offer over this release).

    Not a big Kirby fan so this is a nice and cheap way to experience more of the series.
