It's been a while since anything has been updated about the new Kirby game for Wii (some sources are calling the game Kirby's Adventure, but that is not a confirmed name). Some reports I've seen have stated the project is dead in the water; others say it's on track for a December 2009 release (in Japan; nothing scheduled for North America, though). I don't know what to believe anymore, since details on the game are so few and far between.

I was wondering if anyone around here on PC knew anything about it. I really hope the project doesn't die like some say, since it's been a really long time since the last Kirby console game has been released (Air Ride was in 2003; the last actual platformer was 64/Crystal Shards in 2000). There is nothing wrong with the handhelds, which are great, but at this point, we're long overdue for a new Kirby console game.

It's been in development since the GCN days. I think we saw maybe a clip of it in some trailer compilation back when the Wii was announced? But, otherwise...nothing :c

I've heard the story both ways as well; it is on target for a (Japan) release of 2009 and, it's been canceled for good.

There's been nothing beyond the single trailer (which if I recall was made for Gamecube footage) released to the public. Every time a rumor seems to spring up indicating its death, another rumor springs up with its release.

Oh, I hope that it's not dead ;_;
The only kirby games I've played are the handhelds, but I love 'em. A friend of mine has 64, though, so I'll try to get to play it when I'm at his place. As for info about the Wii game, I got nothing. I really look forward to its release, if it isn't dead.

After a bit of searching, this is the most recent information I can find on it. According to a list released in October of 2008, a Kirby game (temporarily named simply "Hoshi no Kirby," or "Kirby of the Stars" in English; though usually just "Kirby") is scheduled for release in Japan in 2009.
