30 years of Kirby

 

This year marks Kirby's 30th anniversary. Which both seems weird and rewarding. Weird because where did the time go? Rewarding because Kirby is in mostly really good games and deserves recognition. I still remember buying the original for my Gameboy not long after it's release. Back then I'd often bring a game manual with me to school to read and this new cutesy character got me teased. The joke was on them, I knew just how good this game was. As time marched on, the games kept coming and kept generally being really good. I'm sure some folks still take issue with such a cute little guy without bothering to see why people love him so much. But really, who cares? Real ones know.
