Description

Delivery Waddle Dee has just dropped off a fresh stack of listener mail, so for this episode we're responding to your comments and questions. We cover a range of topics, from Kirby's 3D future to whether Masahiro Sakurai, Kirby's creator, would ever return to direct a new game for the series. (Apparently this could be a slightly controversial topic, so for what it's worth Kirby Conversations is a big fan of both Sakurai's games and Shinya Kumazaki's current work on the series, so this isn't meant as a comparison between the two. It's just a fun thought experiment.) Then for Act 2, we discuss the games we're looking forward to playing this summer, from Animal Well to Tekken 8 and more.If you'd like a monthly bonus episode, along with merchandise, shout-outs, and more, we hope you'll check out our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/KirbyConversations.

Kirby Conversations is a biweekly podcast on Kirby and Kirby-related topics, presented by journalist Sean Douglass, Nintendo Affiliate and photographer Ky "Captain Dangerous" Parker, and Kirby collector and influencer Bridget. Together we explore Kirby games, history, and culture, along with adjacent subjects like Super Smash Bros. or other games by Masahiro Sakurai or HAL Laboratory. Then in part two of every episode, we have our "2nd Act," turning the conversation to the other art and ideas on our minds.Whether you're only passingly familiar with Kirby or an avid player of his games, we hope Kirby Conversations can be a fun, funny, and even educational show on the impact this unique Japanese character has had on the video game industry and world at large.
