New Kirby Game To Be Released This Year?

Apparently HAL Laboratory is resurrecting a Kirby game that was originally supposed to be released for Gamecube. For those of you who aren't familiar with HAL Lab, they're basically the overshadowed slave for Nintendo. HAL has produced classics such as the Earthbound (right) series, Super Smash Bros. series, Pokemon Snap for N64 and most importantly, the Kirby series.

Kirby's legacy reminds me a lot of Samus'. Despite being so popular on the NES and SNES, Kirby's release on the N64 and Gamecube were...pathetic to say the least. Kirby's Air Ride? Please. I'd be pumped for that game if it had been followed by a proper platformer, which it was on the Wii...kind of. Kirby's Epic Yarn was totally awesome, but it was really just Kirby's "Paper Mario". It had style etc., but it just wasn't a Kirby game. It was really just Kirby being ported into a really tight Indie game, which really isn't a bad thing, it's just disappointing.

But enuff of my QQing. Let me know what you think.
