I like how you have to specify current day since it wasn't until recently that cute characters were allowed to just be cute. Companies had zero confidence in cute characters before, so they all had to be angry and edgy for no reason 😭
the reason the Japanese and American versions are different is bc in Japan, they want Kirby on the box arts to be more cute to appeal to the Japanese culture, while in America, the box art has Kirby with the angry face bc if it was cute, boys wouldn’t buy it. I think that’s what I heard
Despite the angry looking box art I still loved playing the Kirby games. My favorite was Kirby Superstar Ultra on the Nintendo DS, that was a fun challenge with the True Arena and final boss.
Kirby was so angry! Anyways, here a brownie recipe. Ingredients: - 1 cup unsalted butter - 2 cups granulated sugar - 4 large eggs - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour - 1/2 cup cocoa powder - 1/4 teaspoon salt - 1 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional) Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 350ºF (175°C) and grease a baking pan. 2. Melt 1 cup butter, mix with 2 cups sugar. 3. Add 4 eggs and 1 tsp vanilla; mix well. 4. Sift in 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup cocoa, and 1/4 tsp salt; stir. 5. Optional: add 1 cup nuts or chocolate chips. 6. Pour into the pan, bake for 25-30 mins. 7. Cool completely, cut into squares, and enjoy your brownies!
I miss angry Kirby fr, I wish at least one of the Switch box arts could have him be angy (I know he is in Kirby Fighters 2 but sadly it didn't get a physical release)
Here in Italy the game was localized to "Kirby's adventure wii" for some reason. Also the cover has the japanese image with the happy kirby so I don't know if it really was cause of the Western audience liking more aggressive things
Fun fact: On the original Japanese box art for Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, the angry Sword Kirby was actually a red Kirby, but Nintendo of America recolored him to be the main pink Kirby to make him the focus of the box art.
I think both are good. Kirby is fully capable of silly little guy mode and insane determination and pure ire that sets demonic gods ablaze with one look. Reversible box art but it's just angy Kirby.
that all happened because of sonic the hedgehog. back in the day, the first game has came out and ripped the stereotypes by introducing a punk hedgehog with a frown to the world. since then, game companies were all giving their characters a frown. even Disney on that wave of hype were drawing mickey on the game posters with a frown, to just make the game more appealing and interesting for the western audience, since Sega and sonic turned the entire market upside down with such a move.
elaboration: japan has pink as a neutral color, so it appeals to boys & girls. the west thinks pink = girly, so HAL & Nintendo of america did that to also appeal the kirby series to the boys so they wouldn't think kirby is just for girls because he's pink.
i speculate this is also why kirby went from a genderless character in japan to a male in america so that way they would appeal more towards young american boys as that was the main demographic of videogames at kirbys localization (and to not raise confusion with the masculine name and androgynous character being put together)
Clicking the video, I thought it'd be one of those generic "different audiences different boxart" explanations. Which it was, but the sound effects and music choice make it fun to watch nonetheless :)
If any cute character in fiction is angry at you, in current day you're done.
Yes
Especially Kirby. The God Killer!!!
It's not angry, it's *A N G Y*

@@JelbellaEspecially since Kirby is a literal ball of happiness, so if he's pissed, you have really fucked up ALOT

I like the detail that for Return to Dreamland Deluxe, Nintendo/HAL decided to use the Japanese box art since they were now ok with showing him happy.
Kirby triple deluxe was the first time Kirby got angry In a Japanese cover
the reason the Japanese and American versions are different is bc in Japan, they want Kirby on the box arts to be more cute to appeal to the Japanese culture, while in America, the box art has Kirby with the angry face bc if it was cute, boys wouldn’t buy it. I think that’s what I heard
Which makes me kinda annoyed, idc if Kirby is cute or angry, TAKE MY MONEY
He’s ready to *_Kirbeat_* you up
he’s small so the anger levels are higher.
Also, don’t give him a gun. He’ll turn full American that way.
Why is Kirby so angry…
IN BREATH OF THE KINGDOM!
I honestly really like Breath of the Kingdom but i think Tears of the Wild did the concept better
I personally always saw it as "Cute guy trying to look serious" and not angry Kirby
Nintendo thinks us western side of the world likes angry characters 😂
because there isn't Moe culture in Western countries
I can just hear kirby in forgotton land screaming "HAAAAAAAA~"
With the invincibility candy.
Listen, he just ate an Amarican on the way to the English cover art and now he's pulsating with red, white, blue, and freedom energy. Don't judge him
I think this is the best comment here
all I have to say is YIPEEE
His rage shall burn a thousand stars.
Eater of worlds, master of the Easter.
He is Kirbo, the Star Conquering Traveler
This is just in the Americas for some reason. In Europe kirby remained a happy lad
Four minutes to 53 minutes, he's too good for us
He just needed to annihilate a world destroying god to blow off some steam
Rule one: don't steal his cake
Yes the box art for Forgotten Land Kirby is not angry.
Fail the help wanted minigame though and Kirby looks ready to burn the place down
Despite the angry looking box art I still loved playing the Kirby games. My favorite was Kirby Superstar Ultra on the Nintendo DS, that was a fun challenge with the True Arena and final boss.
I always saw it as Kirby being determined than angry

A really young child on his adventures fighting evil and learnings able to do job's, at first bad after better
Not to mention that if you steel one molocule of his food he will destroy planets to get it back
Kirby’s just planning to destroy America with his god-like powers, that’s all
American AirRide Kirby looks like he is going to commit vehicular manslaughter.
kirby airride 2 will just be Kirby running from the police for wreckless driving
Dear god kirb is about to commit vehicular manslaughter with a star
I miss angry Kirby fr, I wish at least one of the Switch box arts could have him be angy (I know he is in Kirby Fighters 2 but sadly it didn't get a physical release)
He not angry he's determined
Nah, tough Kirby appealed to me. I still remember the bar fight.

How do you have the European translation of Kirby’s Return To Dreamland?
@@NowSplatoon107 What do you mean how lol Italy is in Europe

@NowSplatoon107 sounding offensive is really not my intention, but maybe you should open a map sometimes

Kirb's angy cuz someone took his cake
Oh my gosh, he’s going to run over someone 💀
The reasoning is somebody stole his cake
The Japanese version of the box art is so much better in my opinion
He a goofy goober if I’ve ever seen one
He’s a being with infinite power, what do you fucking expect
I think both are good. Kirby is fully capable of silly little guy mode and insane determination and pure ire that sets demonic gods ablaze with one look.
Reversible box art but it's just angy Kirby.
Happy easter or cappy easter.....lol
Yesir.
I love the Japanese bogart for return to dreamland

Kirby is angry because he just found out you made a fan game.
What.
My favorite lil guy who murder gods.
He’s just a silly little guy he can’t hurt you the silly little guy in question
BUT HES SO CUTE
elaboration:
japan has pink as a neutral color, so it appeals to boys & girls.
the west thinks pink = girly, so HAL & Nintendo of america did that to also appeal the kirby series to the boys so they wouldn't think kirby is just for girls because he's pink.
YIPEEEE
I’ve seen like 4 shorts on this topic before lol
I think America Nintendo wants Kirby to be Mad because Small Pink thing Hits Hard.
i speculate this is also why kirby went from a genderless character in japan to a male in america so that way they would appeal more towards young american boys as that was the main demographic of videogames at kirbys localization (and to not raise confusion with the masculine name and androgynous character being put together)
Im glad this guy put subtitles here because i cant hear what he's FUCKING SAYING
What kind of song is this it's so good
let me tell you back in my day he sounds so old
YIPPI-
Cdotkom the box are for Kirby triple deluxe also shows him being angry if I’m correct and I think also a lot of the 3DS games have the same thing
Wasn't he angry in all versions of Planet Robobot?
he was to kawaii for eagle land
"why is Kirby angry?" It's north America's fault.
