Wednesday Special: Kid Kirby

"Wednesday Special" is a post scheduled for the second and fourth Wednesdays of every month.  It is always something sort, possibly sweet, and usually accompanied by images or videos.

If it weren't for the hair, I totally wouldn't have been able to tell that Kirby is a baby.

The film industry seems to love the idea of prequels when they run out of ideas for movie sequels.  The video game industry seems to love this idea as well, but one series that I would have never imagined to get the prequel treatment would be Kirby.  Apparently, back in 1995 Nintendo thought a Kirby game featuring a "young" Kirby would be a good way to showcase the SNES mouse.  Alas, Kid Kirby never saw the light of day.  You can read the little information that exists for this game and see a few screenshots over on Unseen 64.
