It seems clear they didn't send out that many copies, Nintendo has done this before with games like Luigi's Mansion 2 and Fire Emblem Awakening. The store I went to yesterday just a few hours after it opened only had 3 copies left. I doubt there was a huge rush as soon as it opened, so that most likely means they didn't have many to begin with. However it is Kirby, Nintendo should have a pretty good idea of how it sells, so still a sign it's performing better than they expected.

As for the game itself? Unsurprisingly, Kirby continues to be the most consistently good series ever!

Edited.

To reflect reality.

Kirby was kinda ugly at first, though I suppose his first games weren't very good either, so we're both wrong. :L

More like products of their time. + Adventure's and Super Star are pretty much the fondamental bases of what this franchise is today.

Especially Super Star since it's the precursor to Smash Bros.

Oh I just remembered that we had a discussion about Bandana Dee's inclusion in the game. Looks like you were right and I was wrong. Savor the feeling cause it will totally never happen again!

Glad to see there's a Nindie direct soon. Missed the announcement.

Hopefully Hollow Knight is there.

I just fell with my nose in the butter.

Which is the direct and literal translation of a Dutch saying that's relevant to me right now. I walked in a store today and there they were, a whole stack, neatly lit under some heavenly light. SNES Classics. I hadn't ever seen one, purchasable like that out in the wild. But all of a sudden I see 20, nay 30 of them.

So now one is mine. Maybe there will be a day when I will even see a real NES Classic out there.

Anecdotal, but it seemed the store had just recieved a big Nintendo shipment, because when I went over to the Nintendo section for a minute a worker was introducing who I assumed was someone new, and I overheard him telling the new guy, with a grin like a used-car salesman, that "they have a sweet stock now", refering to the Switch. The tone implied that it would be gone again quickly enough. And indeed, they had a sweet stock.

Anyway, SNES Classic... Yay!
