Miku Game Update 2: Japanese Release Date Confirmed and Trailer Dropped

Some good news “初音ミク 不思議なホシと願いのかけら/ Hatsune Miku Mysterious Stars and Wish Fragments“ now has a confirmed release date in Japan.

Hatsune Miku Mysterious Stars and Wish Fragments will be available on Nintendo Switch in Japan on June 8, 2023. This is about a week from making this post.

Along with a release date, we got our first trailer (You will have to translate this yourself)

Note: There is NO news if this specific title is getting an English/translated as of this update post but be on the lookout on Crypton’s other twitter pages for any info. Personally I say it’s about a 50/50 chance since we did get their other switch developed titles released over here.

Fingers crossed my dudes!!!

Feel free to ignore this if this isn’t the place to ask (I’m new to the fandom side of Kirby) but all this proshipping discourse got me concerned with like… who actually is an adult in the Kirby fandom? I see so many headcanons, but I don’t know where the line is drawn on who is definitively an adult and who isn’t (maybe I’m missing something)? Just King Dedede and maybe Meta Knight since they both have jobs??

That's... a good question wow yeah

Unfortunately since a lot of common Kirby lore is vague or poorly translated it's difficult to draw the line, since most is inferred or just popular in the fandom. Here's what I can tell you...

Most character ages are implied by how they act (or explicitly said in things like the anime or manga). If they're more mature, they run an organization, they take care of themselves independently, they have a job, etc they're most likely an adult. For example, we can easily say Meta Knight, King Dedede, Daroach, Pres Haltmann, Susie, and Magolor are adults.

Characters who are more innocent, small, and child-like are most likely younger like Kirby (who's a child in the anime), Gooey, Adeleine (definitely a child), Prince Fluff, and Elfilin (I guess you could argue Elfilin is an adult...? but idk he seems young to me).

Of course you bring up a good question when it comes to deciding how that works... some characters like Marx and Bandana Waddle Dee have arguable ages. Most people say Marx is obviously an adult based on how he acts in the games and the fact that he manipulates Kirby but some Kirby media (books mostly) seem to imply they're similar ages (which I'm less sure about but you'll see it in the fandom). Bandee too is very child-like and most of us agree Bandee is a kid, but they're also mature enough it could be argued they're an adult by some...? You really have to trust your gut on it.

Then again I've seen headcanons for the Meta Knights being older adults and some for them being closer to Meta Knight's adopted teens, you're going to see a lot of interpretations where neither side is made with bad intent.

Intent is the main word here as well, some people hc that Sailor Waddle Dee and Bandana Waddle Dee are siblings and some people hc that they're dating, both (for the most part) of these sides don't intersect. What I mean is most people only think one OR the other, definitely don't agree with siblings dating, but respectfully choose to have a different hc.

If you have questions about specific characters and you're comfortable asking or dm-ing I can definitely tell you what I've seen most people consider their ages and/or relation as. Some characters have a large variety of fandom interpretations while others have very specific (or just outright canon) ones.

Uhhhhhh tldr, most of it is difficult to discern but trust your gut. If they seem like an adult, they're probably an adult. If they seem like a kid, chances are they're a kid. Fandoms will have a lot of lore and opinions and sometimes you'll just have to learn a little before you know what to trust.
