I could talk about the Kirby games all day, but we just don't have time (ends video with two minutes of lead-out game footage)
I know, right? His content has done nothing but get better over the years.
A. Not a bad way to go out if you ask me. B. We need an updated Kirby video.
Kirby on Nintendo was the first game I ever beat. I think I remember tearing up when I finished it was such a good story at the end
"kirbys special ability is to suck his enemys" -Gaming historian
*enemies
Kirby's Adventure was the first game I ever called "my favorite game." It really entranced me, with the music, fun gameplay with just the right amount of challenge, and so much charm. It's a very special game to me and I love the entire Kirby franchise.
You are not alone. It has got to be my joint favourite video game franchise (with Sonic) of all time. I play through Kirby's Dream Land very often and is my favourite Game boy title.
I never realized how much I love the Kirby background music.
It's a trip back in time as a kid ☺️
So Kirbys original name was popopo and yet in "Kirby Mass Attack" the name of the island where the game takes place is popopo. Interesting.
I like Crack
@@kdoggaming4289 you're not funny
...
My goodness, i was 4 or 5 when I got Kirbiy's Dreamland on my brand new gameboy. It was the first game I could play well, and the first game I beat. That final montage with the green greens theme sent tears of joy and nostalgia from that time of pure innocence and joy down my grumpy oldman face. Seriously, my heart grew like, 6 sizes...and now I have trouble moving around because hearts aren't supposed to be that big. Thank you for reminding me of the little fella.
Kirby super star ultra is currently being developed.
holy crap that was forever ago
ikr
And it turned out better than the original.
I was so young. And even now your comment is 3 years old. And Trump will win again this year 🇺🇲
@@carlrygwelski586 No.
@@DominikLeitner Who's gonna beat him?? Joe Biden???? HAHAHAH 🤣
I was actually only relatively recently introduced to Kirby, about 6 months ago, and he, Dedede and Meta Knight are quickly becoming some of my favourite Nintendo Characters. I decided to get Kirby's Adventure on VC and it is phenomenal. There is so much charm and character in that game, HAL really made it feel personal. I just felt with every description, every line, that someone from HAL was sat next to me talking to me. It's amazing. I thought that no-one could introduce me to quirky writing as good as Earthbound and Mother 3, but I was wrong. Kirby is just as interestingly and funnily written.
love this guy's videos
Pablo Limo He has very good content, I shall say.
Really- how can you possibly dislike these videos. It has such interesting content. But seriously- WHY ARE THERE 74 DISLIKES?! WHAT IS THERE TO DISLIKE ABOUT THIS VIDEO?!
Kirby doesn't suck his enemies. He sucks them in. Those are two different things.
lol I was thinking the same thing
xD
Kirby isn't a THOT....
But suck his eminies means to suck them whole sucks them in means inhale
Sucks and blows
The music is so damn catchy
Oh my God, when he said that a Super Star remake was in development I aged several years. I bought that game at launch and it definitely doesn't feel that long ago. Love seeing Norm's early work too. Great stuff!
@ToastIsWoosh, I’d like to know what his opinion is of Kirby Star Allies and Kirby & The Forgotten Land.
The first Kirby game was a constant companion of mine on car trips as a kid. I loved playing it. Good times, good times. :)
i think kirby is my favorite video game character
Ediajfjahcjdkakskckdks People profile picture checks out.
Who would say no to his cute wittle face?!
Shocker
I also think Kirby is your favourite.
I like sonic more
@Gaming Historian Mr.Norman deserves a lot more subscribers that he has, he has taught many new things, and he puts a lot of effort in all of his videos. I hope you grow even much much more.
Kirby's Adventure is one of the first games that I've actually finished. I love it so much. More than Mario Bros.
Kirby's Dreamland was the first I finished, I think I was 8 or 9, so probably around 2008.
Now that Masahiro Sakurai has his own TH-cam channel with videos about the Kirby games he made, we now know more about Kirby's history than ever before!
2:38
why do you hate vacuum cleaners!?
***** NO.
I believe he was referring to sucking up dirt, which explains why Kirby is known for sucking up his enemies, who can now be compared to soil.
He meant by sucking up dirt and objects
@@alexandramartinez3715 It was a joke i guess.
@ElyC West Thank you for clarifying. I assumed that it was a legitimate question, so I decided to answer it.
I love seeing you progress from your early videos to where you are now
5:31 "Kirby Super Star is wildly regarded as the best Kirby game of all time."
I forgot this video was made before Kirby's Return to Dreamland came out.
This channel is a gem
This is probably one of the most interesting episodes of the gaming historian. Capeau, Norman!
Looking forward for new material!
Kirbys dreamland was the first game i've beaten. Thank you sakurai.
I loved Kirby All-Stars, so, so, so much. I'm glad someone took the time to mention this amazing character.
Kirby is the cutest of the cute call Sony
Awww Kirby!!! Bro this was so well done!
Been watching all your videos, very well made an intriguing. I'll agree with you Kirby is by far some of the funnest games they've made and the music is awesome. I've got a nice personal collection of this little pink blob. Thanks for the video.
Bro this plays just as smooth as a video fron 2019. Youve always been quality as fuck man.
I saw the name of your channel and literally subbed even before watching the video. Good stuff.
This is great content! Great research and information! I really enjoyed learning about Kirby!
I really enjoy your approach to looking at games and video game history. I love the "academic" approach :)
I agree with you. Kirby's dreamland 2 was the first game I got for my gameboy. It was just something about it, I loved it.
Maybe Kirby is just an analogy for Nintendo itself...use a powerful lawyer(s), to destroy and absorb the competition, and gain their powers. @.@
My favorite from Nintendo, thank for the video, old but still gold.
No mention of Kirby 64?
illuminati can not handle 3d rendered crystal shards
64's level design was too painful.
Damn I never noticed how old this was! 😮
Wow super retro video, still great stuff.
I remember when i was young i i finished kirby adventure for the first time, such good memories
I can't believe anybody even dislikes these.
Ikr! What is there possibly to dislike about an interesting documentary on Kirby?! Probably dumb Kirby haters who dislike the video just because it's about Kirby.
I think people dislike videos for the pride in being the minority.
I love the pink rint that works.
I just started playing the Kirby series myself. I'm just got to the DS games, but honestly, so far my favorite is Kirby Super Star for the Super Nintendo, too
when i was a little kid my 1st games i played and completed were superstar kirby, mario all stars, super metroid, and mortal kombat on my moms old snes and now i play them from time to time on my switch! i love these classic games so much and im glad my mom taught me how to be a gamer early on in life lol
Dude you are flippin awesome
I really like your channel. I wish you covered more games though.
no love for Dreamland 3?.... still, great episode and it was fun to watch and it was great to see some love for one of my favorite characters of all time.
I absolutely loved Kirbys Adventure on the NES when i was a kid. Probably one of my favorite games. The music and graphics of this really makes me nostalgic.
Me too :D, and im still a kid
the kirby music is so catchy..it´s awesome :D
Welcome Back!!!!
Time for a new Kirby video
Kirby is my fav videogame character up there with sonic
I like this video Kirby's games are fun,easy, and has catchy tunes too.
The only series with no bad games.
epic yarn
Epic Yarn wasn't bad, just more kid-friendly. It was still super fun, and the idea that you can't die took a lot of pressure off.
*Cough* Canvas curse *Cough cough*
Fun Fact: Kirby's actual first appearance was in Arcana for the SNES
2:40 giggity!
Kirby Super Star was one of my favorite games as a kid. We used to play the arena mode all the time :D
Superstar Ultra is an amazing game. I played it to death and replay it every couple years.
This is amazing
my favorite episode =)
3:13 lemme guess miyamoto had the idea to make Kirby as pac man
*20 years later pac man and Kirby mixed together in smash bros ultimate*
I loved Kirby' Dreamland... It was an awesome game and I don't know how often I played through (I think you could not safe and there was no passcode, so you had to play through it in one run...). There also was a "secret" Hardmode, that could be activated with a Password... It was really, really hard!
240p was their minimum HD back then
haha
Cool Starfox remix in the beginning!
Being a 90s kid, Kirby 64 was one of my favorite games of the system. That game was a blast. This video makes me want to buy the game again for N64
Gaming Historian: Kirby is kinda cute.
Kirby: Hi.
Yellow Kirby would be a Pac-Man clone
True
he still exists as the player 2 kirby on most games, but i see your point
@@andknuckles101 i call him "Meth Kirby"
I know why this would become this
Miyamoto’s favorite character is pac man
@Daniel Laemerhirt I am jaundice Kirby
Could you do a video on the history of Yoshi?
Ahhh I've played sooooo much kirby as a child.
Kirby's dreamland 2 was also my fav
OMG the nostalgia is through the roof. I remember getting my first game boy with only Kirby's Dreamland and some racing game, which I sucked at, but I ended up beating Kirby's Dreamland after months of playing, my first game beaten, yay! Kinda hilarious actually, 'cause now I can beat the game in like 10 minutes :D
You got GREAT vids buddy. I hope, one day, to be as awesome linking musics of games as you do on commenting about them! I got a few playlists, my Megaman one is one of my best. :D
The music brought me back in time........ : )
I think a remake of this video would be pretty good, because I feel this is pretty short and lackluster. I feel that a franchise like Kirby gives a lot of content to make a long but enjoyable video, and that wasn't taken advantage of imo.
"He's basically a smiley face with arms and legs" as you stand next to a picture of a two-legged but armless Pac-Man. LOL - hey, maybe that's a future episode, provided there's enough meat to it - all the dozen or two different looks Pac-Man had in those early days. I've always wondered why they never tried to standardize his look outside of the game.
I've still never played a Kirby game (tho I have the latest game's demo loaded on my Switch)...but this vid made it look fun! :)
I LOVE Kirby
Who doesn't?
I like Kirby but am starting to hate the fanbase
Oh, and this video is awesome, too!
Watching this video right now in honour of Kirby's 20th Anniversary today in the US (though here in the UK it'll be his 20th on the 3rd). God, how the years have flown by!
I always thought Kirby was named after the Nintendo lawyer who saved Nintendo (and consequently probably the entire game industry looking back on it). Never knew there was a vacuum cleaner company. I thought they kept the Popopo name is Japan for some reason. Anyways both the NES original as well as the Gameboy Games really pushed the limits of their respective hardware and were incredible. Kirby's Adventure is very easy but also a beautiful game to look back on and although an 8 bit game the production values and attention to detail combined with it's music and memorable powerups and cool overworld make it one worth playing. Sometimes it's nice just to go beat Kirby's Adventure, especially finishing the final bosses, since the game is such a breeze.
How could you not love Kirby?
Lets get s remake of this one with more detail now that you've grown as a creator!
As a kid, I actually thought he was named after Kirby Puckett, the baseball player. Anyway, I knew about the GameBoy Dream Land Games, and I had the SNES Super Star game, but I never knew he had an NES game. Then I realized Kirby's Adventure was released on the NES in 1993, after most people had moved on the SNES.
He's so cute I could keep him as a pillow
I have a Kirby pillow ;)
I didn’t know how old this vid was until he said that Kirby superstar ultra was CURRENTLY BEING MADE FOR DS.
having been a huge smash bros fan boy I already knew who sakurai was, totally spoiled the surprise at the end lol but it's still interesting to here another perspective on nintendo's history
Although the original "Kirby's Dreamland" was a very easy game, there is a hard mode. In that hard mode, it actually is one of the most difficult Kirby games since the enemies are way faster and harder to dodge and you can't copy any abilities.
Great!
only game I was ever able to finish on the NES... I'm still astounded how far ahead of its time it was.
I used to think that Kirby receives this name due a (supposed by myself) John Kirby's sentence: "You are what you eat !"
lol
Great Video !
Kirby thy name is Popopo. Damn that marshmallow continues to top my favorite list as most awesome Nintendo character, thank you so kindly for this amazing video. ^-^
Very grateful to being the 6,900th like on this video
And kirby is amazing, the games are easy, but not like boring easy, the fun easy, it's quite encouraging and I love it
Holy shit him saying that Kirby super star ultra is being made has me shook, that game and nightmare in dreamland were my favorite Kirby games as a kid
Never realized there were no powers in the first one. This game goes deep with me.
Kirby Super Star for SNES will always be my favorite Kirby game
Ah, the old days of TH-cam :) Also "Kirby Super Star Ultra _currently_ being made for the Nintendo DS"
it still is
It's funny that we have a Kirby vacuum back then
Yeah, I kind of see the connection!
HELL YEA! Gotta Love That Kickass Puff>>>My motto ^^
Kirby's Dream Course for life!
damn you know this is an old video when he talks about a game being developed for the DS
