Kirby's Rainbow Resort

So, as we all know, 2017 makes 25 years since Kirby's Dream Land was released on the Game Boy, starting this wonderful franchise.
Wow! It looks like it was yesterday when Kirby's Dream Collection was released for the Wii.
Time flies! And what a great gift that was! To me, it was the perfect way to celebrate Kirby's 20th anniversary.
A great collection with the most important Kirby games way to the N64, a interactive timeline with videos, trivia and even 3 complete episodes of the anime (and some pages of the 3 Kirby mangas in the Japanese release).
And who could forget about the new Kirby's Return to Dream Land challenge stages? We even got confirmation that Magolor was sorry and became Kirby's friend. Also, the credits for this game... they were simply nostalgic and beautiful.
Of course, there was also the marvelous booklet with behind-the-scenes that came with the game, and Japan even got a Kirby encyclopedia!
The case is, today, HAL opened a twitter account dedicated to Kirby's 25th Anniversary.
https://twitter.com/Kirby25thJP?s=09
It doesn't have much yet, besides a cute gif and the official logo for the "event".
So much happened in these 5 years... We got 2 brand new platform games, a sequel to Canvas Curse, two e-shop minigames.
And that's not counting Super Smash Bros. 4 and everything that happened to the fanbase.
Operation Hoshi no Kaabii returned to finish subbing the anime, Kirby's Rainbow Resort died, got replaced by the Kirby Club, witch died too, and then, Kirby's Rainbow Resort was revived, but it's empty now...
It's a weird situation, to be honest.
I hope this makes this forums more active again.
But I'm very excited to see what HAL will do for Kirby's 25th Anniversary. Got any ideas? Something you would like to see?

Let's revive KRR and all of it's features.
The fans want it, the users want it, and even the OPHnK subbing team is back.
Let's make Rainbow Resort great again, as it was in the early and mid 2000's.
TOGETHER, WE CAN DO IT!!!

Kirby Generations. Nuff said.
...
...
...
Okay, perhaps I should elaborate. Much like Sonic Generations, have Kirby's oldest and newest self team up and march through levels across Kirby series history.

Old Kirby would be from Kirby's Dream Land, only being capable of Inhaling and Spitting, while New Kirby would have his entire set of attacks and be able to copy abilities.

Of course, bring back some old, forgotten bosses, and you'd have the perfect anniversary game.

And yes, I'm hoping the KRR gets a bit more active too.

The forum will never become active, because new members' posts will never be approved.

I doubt anything decent will happen, all of Nintendo franchises have become cash cows.

No, Fire Emblem's not the worst case. 2nd worst, maybe, but that doesn't compare to the one that started this horrible cash cow craze.

Animal Crossing is a shell of it's former self, and shouldn't be considered Animal Crossing anymore.

Anyways, Kirby was probably one of the least affected, but it's still showing.

So, the Japanese website is up, with a plenty of new artwork:
http://www.kirby.jp/25th/
So, apparently there is going to be an Kirby orchestra concert much like Zelda's Symphony of the Goddesses.
This is a dream coming true! The only bad thing is that it's japan-exclusive (at least, for now).
But they're also going to release a CD with the tracks, so we can listen to the concert when it releases.
There's also some events like "Kirby's Sweet Party" and "Pupupu Train", both are Japan-exclusive too and I don't really know what are they.
Well, maybe we'll get a special game like Kirby's Dream Collection eventually, but the Kirby Orchestrated Concert is really exciting for me. :D

So there has been some speculation around the Kirby 25th Anniversary teasers that HAL has been dropping, and I'd like to throw in my own two cents. So, Kirby has been known to avoid his jump to 3D for years. HAL has actually expressed interest in this idea, and you can see a screenshot from the cancelled 3D Kirby game online. In Planet Robobot, the Mini-Game "Kirby 3D Rumble" is almost a 3D platformer on its own, so I think that HAL is realizing the outcry for a fully 3D Kirby game. Not only does it seem like the time is right, but some of the teaser images on the Kirby 25th Anniversary Twitter account actually may support my theory. One of the images are a bunch of Waddle Dees following Kirby like a celebrity. The first thing I thought of when I saw that image was Mario 64, and how the Lakitu follows Mario around with a camera, because of it being a 3D game. Could this be a reference to Mario 64's transition to 3D?

We all know everything will be Japan exclusive, Kirby is way more popular there.

Also, I once had a huge hoarding problem with stuffed animals, please don't end up like me.

This is an amazing idea for a game! It would also be a cool way bring back the animal friends, gooey (I think that's his name?) and the helpers! Like, once you get to the stages based on the games they were introduced in you'd be able to use them in any stage! I'm already thinking about the amazing puzzle opportunities that could bring! Great, now I'm super excited over something that doesn't even exist XD

That's not even all I have. I have another idea for an anniversary game I've yet to really flesh out. However, I feel that it is too long to just post here. Give it a day and I'll have something up in the Saffron Sandbox.

Hantho, you are fantastic at coming up with ideas! I can't wait!

All in the signature, my friend. It's all in the signature. Or I could just get too far in the zone for typing up my ideas and finish them now, before the day is even close to ending....

Here are the threads:

This one's just separating off Kirby Generations into it's own thread.

Here's the new stuff. Man, did I have fun writing this up! I hope you all like it too!

Looks like we found the definite answer to the universe's end, my friends! The Big Succ has begun!

Oh no, the big suck. Nintendo's going to be even worse. And they have.

I'm so excited for Kirby's 25th anniversary.

Me too, I wonder what else they'll come up with besides what we already know.

Me too! I hope Nintendo will make a special 3DS theme starring everyone from past games!

Some new Kirby books were released for the 25th anniversary.
