That's just mutts butchering his character design. I mostly stay away from japslop copies, but Kirby is the one game series where all of my cartridges are NTSC-J because mutts have shown time and time again that they cannot be trusted with his image.

They had to do shit like this because back then burger kids would never touch a game if it wasn't a dark, violent, mean, mature game for mature gamers such as themselves. People today like to make fun of US box art and shit but they really had to do it for their games to sell in America

They might have. Not everyone was all about that, and it could be that the US audience would have been fine with original Puyo Puyo or Panel de Pon. If it was possible, I'd like to see an alternate timeline/universe where NoA/Sega released those games as-is to the US market and seen how well it went, just as an experiment. I think it would've been fine, especially if more "cute" things had popped up more often, giving the audience more exposure to such things and making them used to it like Japan had already been.

But that was Sega's shtick, not Nintendo's. Remember the whole "Genesis does what Nintendon't"?

Super Mario Bros 3 sold well and it's literally a game about a cartoony plumber in a tanuki suit. There is no reason to believe that Kirby wouldn't sell well if they kept his Japanese image. Nintendo of America were just retards. Also, you can't explain things like Kirby being white on the cover of Kirby's Dream Land in the USA version with "muh mature image." Boggles my mind why those butchered USA copies of that game sell for more nowadays than the Japanese copies where Kirby is pink as he should be.

Kirby is an absolute savage in the entire game and I can't believe this passed Nintendo's or HAL's approval

Sakurai oversaw the production and he LOVED it.

Honestly he's lowkey a savage in the GBA/DS-era ability flavor text as well, dunno why everyone forgets that.

All Kirby games after Squeak Squad felt like something without personality. Except maybe Triple Deluxe but only in the last half.

No this is just what localizers would peddle to justify the existence of their shitty parasitic job.

And the glacial release of Pokemon in the west put them out of fucking business forever. The idea was to change all of the designs and Gamefreak said "You don't seem to know what you're talking about" and they were right. Good fuckin' riddance.
Go to hell localizers. And don't come back. Burn there.

Any Japanese guy who names his online handle after a Monty Python sketch (Doug Dinsdale) is pretty okay in my book. His absence was sorely felt in HG/SS.

All because they wanted to make the games look like the Kirby anime for synergy, even doing things like transforming Dedede's castle into the anime counterpart.

I can't think of a single Kirby game whose contents were butchered in American localization. This is how I know /int/ anons like yourself come from redditt.

The whole GBA/DS era was full of bad localization. Probably 4Kids influence.
