Stuck In 2D: Kirby

VOICE OVER: Rebecca Brayton

Arguably the cutest video game hero, Kirby is a puffball that was originally created as a simple placeholder design until a final concept could be produced. But as luck would have it, the little blob complimented its developer's goal of creating a simple 'game for beginners.' He soon became a Nintendo mascot on the portable handhelds and quickly appeared in numerous adventures and spin-offs. In this video http://www.WatchMojo.com takes a look at the history of Kirby, and the attempts to take him out of the side-scrolling era of games and bring him into the realm of 3D.
