Things have been rather quiet on the Kirby front ever since Kirby: Star Allies dropped two years ago. The closest fans have gotten to news on a new game have been rumors of a Fortnite crossover. Although this drought of information is ongoing, fans can now, at the very least, get a first look at a Kirby game that never got to see the light of day.
In the decades the series has been around, there have been a lot of unreleased Kirby games. One of these was Kirby Family, a Game Boy Color game that was meant to be a companion to the N64 platformer Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. This is easily one of among one of the more unusual games Nintendo almost released, as it was being designed for the Jaguar JN-100, which, for those who don’t know, is a sewing machine.
The Jaguar JN-100 (or Singer Izek 1500 as it was known outside Japan) stands out as one of the Game Boy’s more obscure accessories. Its gimmick was letting players connect a Game Boy to it and selecting different patterns for it to stitch. It even came with an exclusive title, Mario Family, which was basically just a collection of Mario-themed patterns. Kirby Family was going to do the same thing before it was cancelled, but thanks to Foulowe 59 on YouTube, fans can get a look at the Kirby-themed patterns it would’ve offered, in addition to its start screen.
It might not be as exciting as a new game reveal (at this point, most fans would probably settle for a re-release of a game like Kirby and the Rainbow Curse), but it’s still an interesting look back at one of the more niche corners of Nintendo’s history.
