	Goodnightmoon posted 09/06/2016, 03:22 I have been playing this game for a few days and I freaking love it!! Is extremelly fun and charming, traditional Kirby with awesome graphics, perfect gameplay, a TON of charm and new elements that worked pretty well, this is a dream for Kirby fans and, while it had overall positive reviews I think it was underrated just because Epic Tarn was more original, wich is true, but this is on the same level in terms of fun. Anyway, pretty good sales overall, Japan loved it and as a curiosity despite selling barely 0.21m in Europe this is like the 2nd best selling game of the franchise on the continent that usually ignores the poor pink ball but for some reason gave to this one a little more attention.

	ExplodingBlock posted 28/04/2014, 01:26 1.60 isn't bad but it deserves at least 3m+ Message \| Report
	Skidonti posted 24/04/2014, 11:11 What made Europe come out to play for this game? I don't think any Kirby has managed over a hundred thousand there since the original Gameboy. Message \| Report
	Fededx posted 07/07/2012, 06:03 I want this game so bad!!! It looks amazing, but it's a little too expensive right now where I live :( Message \| Report
	Salnax posted 08/03/2012, 02:06 22nd best selling Wii game of all time in Japan, beating out both Zeldas, Epic Yarn, and Dragon Quest Swords. Message \| Report
	Salnax posted 11/02/2012, 09:36 I consider this game proof that sometimes, Japan can still single-handedly justify a game's existence. Message \| Report

	zippy posted 28/12/2011, 08:45 great sales..and just to think that this is a gamecube game from years ago.I love gamecube,GO GAMECUBE!!!! Message \| Report
	oni-link posted 23/12/2011, 07:42 glad to see Kirby selling great (usually bet 800k-2mil) bodes well fo the series on the Wii U. Message \| Report
	NintendoFanDj posted 17/12/2011, 01:15 this will be over 1 million in a few weeks Message \| Report
	Fededx posted 16/12/2011, 02:07 I have to buy it, I'm dying to, but I've found some retro games (kind of expensive ones) and IÂ¡m buying those at the moment. Next month I'm getting it for sure!Kirby games are hard to find months after they're released... Message \| Report
	dark_gh0st_b0y posted 06/12/2011, 04:32 doing good enough, as it should Message \| Report
	NintendoPie posted 01/12/2011, 08:32 Aww, this isn't selling as good in America as I hoped it too. Message \| Report
	NintendoPie posted 23/11/2011, 04:51 This is selling really well in Japan! Maybe 500K at the end of the Year? Hopefully Americas sales will pick up over the Holiday season ^_^ Message \| Report
	IxisNaugus posted 21/11/2011, 07:49 The PAL boxart is horrendous... Message \| Report
	Salnax posted 18/11/2011, 09:09 In short, this looks like it'll be more popular in Japan than Epic Yarn, but less popular in America. Europe doesn't care much for Kirby, so expect another 1-1.5 million seller total. Message \| Report
	Pokemonbrawlvg posted 12/11/2011, 04:27 It'll probably reach a million by christmas. Message \| Report
	NintendoFanDj posted 08/11/2011, 12:48 Sales are rising Message \| Report
	Fededx posted 05/11/2011, 02:17 Nice start, now the holidays are gonna make it a million seller for sure! Message \| Report
	curl-6 posted 04/11/2011, 10:36 It's already topped Epic Yarn's first week thanks to better Japan sales. 1.6m lifetime? Message \| Report
	OneTwoThree posted 04/11/2011, 04:59 Not interested, to be honest, looks generic. Message \| Report
	Salnax posted 02/11/2011, 10:51 @NintendoFanDj It's a bit worse than Epic Yarn did, for a game that has reviews a bit more critical than Epic Yarn did. These sales seem fair. Epic Yarn sold less than 10% of its sales in the first week in America, and if this follows the same pattern, it could end up selling 0.75 million in the Americas alone. Message \| Report
	NintendoFanDj posted 02/11/2011, 03:21 WHAT ONLY 0.06 Nintendo channel been posting every trailer and those darn 88 million wii owners who didn't even bother to buy it if they still play the wii oh well there is always Christmas. Message \| Report
	Metallicube posted 01/11/2011, 11:52 Awesome game, has a real old school sidescrolling vibe to it Message \| Report
	Salnax posted 01/11/2011, 06:05 About 85% of Epic Yarn's sales week one in America. So 1.2 million first year? Message \| Report

	DrZoidberg posted 31/10/2011, 07:16 its pretty fun, hope it sells well Message \| Report
	NintendoFanDj posted 24/10/2011, 09:40 IGN were the only ones to rate it below 8 out all on Gameranking and they made the score go from 91 to 86 dang it IGN Message \| Report
