Happy Japanese Kirby, Angry American Kirby
Posted on Monday, May 5 @ 17:55:46 Eastern by Duke_Ferris

Seriously, is it something in our water supply? Do the Japanese think that when Kirby comes to America, he suddenly gets angry and belligerent? Possibly even Xtreme?

I am U.S. Kirby! Grrrrrrrr! I will drop a bomb on you!

I for one in particular like the Amazing Mirror, as all the other colored Kirdby-like characters also look happy, and having a phone is just ridiculous. The Canvas Curse I can understand cause he's pissed off for being in more 2D than he is used to. Its either marketing or a really bad misconception.

I wonder how the designers discussed the art for Amazing Mirror... "Okay, we can use the Japanese box art, but we should ditch the red guy as the badass and give his sword to Kirby. And the hat. And lower the cellphone a bit. Kirby needs to hold it like Jack Bauer from 24. Yes... YES! America will eat this up!"

I wonder if most Japanese would consider us angry, or just whoever does the Kirby box art.

I find the second set of boxes especially funny. Look closely and you can see that the graphic designer of the American box moved the sword-wielding Kirby to the forefront and palette-swapped the two.

I'd probably be a little perturbed myself, it's a long flight from Japan to America.

Does thio work in reverse as well? By that I mean do Ratchet and Clank set fire to orphans and kick puppies on their Japanese covers?

I named my dog Kirby. He ***** in the house, pukes in the corners, and barks constantly despite being hit for it. If my dog were Japanese, he'd poop outside, chew on bones and be cuddly... but he wouldn't know any English commands. :(

American Kirby is angry because he has a stress lifestyle coupled with a bad diet

It makes perfect sense. Japanese Kirby is happy, U.S Kirby is angry, a Canadian Kirby would be drunk and playing hockey, and a French Kirby would be naked and smoking.

It's Nintendo's attempt to make Kirby look less of a retarded pink blob for the critical (meaning we criticize too much) US......

Well think about it. In japan, weird is okay. In the US, ( Saying you Not knowing who kirby was) Kirby looks like gay pink puff ball. Which is true, but you would much rather as a pissed off one or the one who is happy sucking his oppents?
