Kirby gcn, the biggest anomaly of the kirby series. The franchise definitely would've been different if it wasn't canceled, and yet it influenced the series to such a big degree that it somehow feels like it did release
@AmazingAnndroid Yeah, dedede stealing the warp star to power a giant mech, meta knight having plot relevance for the first time since super star, morpho knight's whole deal, and that cool final boss concept art are all things I really want to know more about
@vicctre They've said that all 3 builds were fairly complete before getting canceled, the 2D pop up book one specifically was apparently painfully close to completion as iwata said in that interview
I can't imagine what it must've been like to create 3 kirby games from the ground up and have to cancel each one in a row. Kudos to HAL for choosing to strive for quality and surviving not releasing a mainline kirby game on a home console for 10 years
It almost feels like HAL is taunting us in a way. It's like "Yeah we know you want more info on this game, but instead we'll just put elements and assets from it in other kirby games and leave it for you all to figure out yourselves"
What surprises me the most about kirby gcn is that even after 20 years since it was announced and canceled, there's probably a lot about the game that we still don't know about. I mean even just 10 seconds of new footage found a couple years ago was a bombshell for kirby fans

Our best bet for new info at this point is some kind of leaked build since it feels like HAL clearly doesn't want to give us actual info themselves. I think the last time they actually gave us any new info about the game was the concept art in the 20th anniversary art book
