The Kirby<\/strong> series is known for its all-ages appeal, with bright colours, accessible gameplay, and the simple fact that Kirby is just so round and squishy<\/em>.<\/p>\n

With Kirby and the Forgotten Land<\/a><\/strong> launching this week, we’re seeing a lot of advertisements for the new entry, including a recent trailer that highlighted the wonderful ‘Karby’<\/a>. But Nintendo’s advertisements for the long-running series haven’t always been all sunshine and rainbows.<\/p>\n

As highlighted by VideoGameArt&Tidbits<\/a> on Twitter, back in 1995 Nintendo ran a two-page ad for Kirby’s Avalanche<\/strong><\/a> and Kirby’s Dream Course<\/a><\/strong> for the SNES. But this advert didn’t focus on the fun, cute side of Kirby \u2014 instead, it showcased a more grizzled Kirby about to be booked at the Metro Police Department.<\/p>\n
