Ugh.

That line-up makes me weep.

The only thing I'll be getting is Kirby for the Wii and Golden Sun for the DS.

Hey, that gives me more time with Fallout: New Vegas!!  Yay!

Kirby will be awesome. But why not Donkey Kong Country? No love for monkeys? Just curious.

The game (Donkey Kong Country) doesn't look evolved much from the original games on the SNES, and after the first game, I completely lost interest in them.  I downloaded parts 2 and 3 on the Wii for my ex-wife and they still didn't do anything for me when I played 'em.  I had a lot of fun with DKC1, but the gameplay doesn't appeal to me anymore. 

Kirby looks just jaw-droppingly amazing.  The creativity shown in that game on the gameplay and graphical style blow me away.  I hope what's been shown is only a bare fraction of the depths of creative gameplay found therein.  I haven't been excited for a Kirby game since Kirby's Adventure on the NES.  Yeah, I'm that old.  And I started with the series waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyy back in the day with the first installment on the Game Boy.  Er, my younger brother's Game Boy.  The one that was the size of a cinder block and half as heavy.
