Happy birthday to Kirby.
Kirby’s Dream Land is one of the first imaginative gaming visions from Masahiro Sakurai. A vision of a little Dream Lander taking a journey to demonstrate that having a pale appearance is similar to having straight and courage when wearing a red hat and blue overalls. That little Dream Lander is Kirby and he’s not so little once he starts swallowing anything that gets in his way.
WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "We can respect and acknowledge those that came before us: it’s just good manners and showcases that we know our history. I will always be appreciative of Kirby’s Dream Land, and I think that Kirby enthusiasts (as well as Gameboy fans) should go back and give it a try. Yes, it looks and plays better in almost every subsequent incarnation, but there’s heart here. There’s a lot of care and soul and amazing groundwork that led to even better things. And, most importantly, there’s Kirby."
This was one of the first, if not the first, Gameboy games I played all the way through.
"Kirby has a long history of fun-filled adventures and it all started on the original Game Boy so let's explore his humble pocket-sized origins." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Kirby’s Dream Land was released 25 years ago on the Game Boy. To celebrate, Nintendo is hosting a special sale.
