Just a late anniversary fan art for another one of my favorite video game franchises of all time.

I grew up playing Kirby starting with Kirby Super Star Ultra on my old Nintendo DS with my cousin back when I was a kid, and Kirbys been in a special place in my heart ever since. My most recent Kirby game was Kirby: Triple Deluxe on my 3DS back in my senior year in high school years ago.

Although I've yet played the most recent Kirby and the Forgotten Land, but I hope I get to soon since I only played the demo. I love the 3D gameplay, along with the Crash Bandicoot esque washed on the beach intro. I also like The Last of Us esque post apocalyptic style environment, but more beautiful (makes me wonder if Nintendo secretly had a heavy influence from Naughty Dog with this game).

Happy 30th anniversary Kirby, may you eat and bring joy for years to come.
