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!"
Kirby...
Kirby...
Kirby, FUCK YEAH!
Coming again, to save the mother ****ing day yeah,
Kirby, FUCK YEAH!
Freedom is the only way yeah,
Terrorist your game is through cause now you have to answer too,
Kirby, FUCK YEAH!
So lick my butt, and suck on my balls,
Kirby, FUCK YEAH!
What you going to do when we come for you now,
it’s the dream that we all share; it’s the hope for tomorrow
FUCK YEAH!
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 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. :(
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.
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?
So I wanted to share with anyone who would read this something that happened to me last night that gave me hope for the future generations of the world. But before I begin I would like to preface that with some back story.
My wife and I have been married for nearly 2 years now. We have an 11 year old son from my previous “marriage”. His mother is a fan of platformers, survival horror, JRPG’s and the occasional bad taste video game that you play when no one else is... read more...
"It's Nintendo's attempt to make Kirby look less of a retarded pink blob for the critical (meaning we criticize too much) US......"
So they want him to look less american on the US box cover?
no sense is made...
