Kirby is quite the odd little pink ball. He not only copies whatever he eats during his normal action games, but then he finds himself in weird spin-off titles like the kiddy racer Kirby’s Air Ride to last year’s Kirby’s Epic Yarn. And now we have Kirby Mass Attack, where you can have a whole gaggle of little pink balls tear their way through enemies.
We had a chance to ask the normally elusive developers at Nintendo and HAL Laboratory some quick questions via email, and took this opportunity to ask things such as why Kirby works in multiple genres. Answering questions are HAL Laboratory producer Masanobu Yamamoto (Kirby’s Epic Yarn), and Mass Attack director Mari Shirakawa (her credits include Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, Kirby: Canvas Curse, and Picross 3D).
