Finalized name and official details on Kirby’s upcoming Saturday morning cartoon on North American airwaves!
One of our readers, “Waddledooda” recently emailed us making sure PGC and its readers were up-to-date on the upcoming Kirby anime.
”WaddleDooDaa” says: Though it should have been common knowledge by E3, Hoshi no Kirby's English name has been confirmed. It's name is now "Kirby: Right Back at Ya!", and various posters and cards were handed out at e3. Yes, this name is a bit...American, but I think we expected that. A friend of mine went to this booth at e3, and collected some interesting information. On several of these fliers and cards, this interesting information was stated:
Kirby, Nintendo's popular pink hero has captured the starring role in 15 video games over the past ten years, selling over 20 million copies world wide, with more on the way.
