Kirby and the Forgotten Land with Genki, Yamashiroya Toy Shop, Kirby's Dream Land 3, Kirby's Dream Course

Pink puff power has taken over the podcast as this episode is all about Kirby! Fellow Tokyo resident Genki joins me to talk about Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Kirby’s first 3D adventure. I also take a peek at some retro Kirby titles, Kirby’s Dream Land 3 and Kirby’s Dream Course. This episode’s feature is all about Yamashiroya, a six-story toy shop in Tokyo that’s home to amazing exclusive Kirby merchandise. How many Kirby plushies can you buy? Is HAL’s first 3D Kirby game the best yet? Should Marx be in jail? All will be answered in this episode!
