Kirby Cafe Set To Open In Japan

Japan’s Kirby Cafe Will Celebrate Everyone’s Favourite Hungry Pink Sphere

File this one directly under “that’s so Japanese.” Kirby, star of such classic titles as Kirby Superstar and the recently well reviewed Planet Robobot, is getting his own cafe in Japan. That’s pretty excellent, right? Who doesn’t love a rags to riches tale in which a b-list Nintendo mascot gets his (or her?) own Kirby cafe?

According to the cafe’s official Twitter, the Kirby Cafe will open this summer, and generally be Kirby themed. If we were betting journalists, we’d expect to see a variety of bake shop items typically seen as health pick-ups in Kirby titles, a bunch of Kirby paraphenalia, and probably some custom shoutouts to Kirby mainstays like the Maxim Tomato.

Because Google Translate does a hilarious job translating Japanese, here’s one of the Kirby Cafe’s tweets: “Stores and menu, so will deliver Essential reading for information, such as goods, we will inflate the chest to the expectations in Kirby beams, please wait for the follow-up!”

 

With our expectations marked out clearly in terms of Kirby beams, who wants to plan a trip to Japan? We know we’re excited to see how our favorite hungry pink sphere makes his mark on the world of food service. Which other characters deserve a restaurant experience? Let us know in the comments or on Twitter!
