Kirby is one of the most famous platforming video game. It is developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo for Nintendo’s Wii video game console. Originally, it was planned to launch the game for Nintendo GameCube. Details about the game are sketchy and the game is still to be announced officially. Currently Kirby is scheduled to be released in North America and Japan. Kirby also used the Super Smash Mario Bros Melee engine.

According to the screenshots, released levels in Kirby were rendered in 3D, but the gameplay is side scrolled. Gameplay of Kirby is like Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. A new attack system, in this attack mode Kirby can ride on the back of up to three order characters. This technique was not used since Kirby’s Dream Land 3. Just like the Kirby Super Star Kirby can receive abilities from friends or foes. Another feature, which is back from Kirby: Squeak Squad and Kirby & the Amazing Mirror is multiple moves for certain ability. Kirby will support upto four players in multiplayer mode.

For the first time the game was announced at E3 2005. The game platform considered that time by the developers was Nintendo GameCube. After its announcement, however very little information was revealed about the game and soon it was revealed that the game will be released for the Wii. On May 26, 2006, IGN released an article stating the release of a generically labeled Kirby Legend of the stars. The article was based on the information found in a recent Japanese release list found on Nintendo’s corporate site. Few months later on September 14, 2006, a game titled Kirby of the Stars appeared on the list of upcoming games for Wii. Later in December that year, it was removed from the list of GameCube releases. It did not appear on the list of the Wii games.

Kirby is gone more powerful this time. Over Twenty-one powers have been confirmed for the game. These powers include Bomb, Beam, Bubble, Cutter, Clean, Fighter, Hammer, Fire, Ice, Plasma, Parasol Stone, Sword, Tornado, Wheel, and Wing and Water Kirby (an ability only seen in the Kirby anime and as a glitch in Kirby’s Adventure possibly). Most of these abilities will have new hats. The helper system from Kirby Super Star was to be reinstated with the ability to have up to three helpers.
