To celebrate the Kirby franchise's 25th anniversary, we're playing all the games in the series in weekly video features. It feels like 2017 could use some happy, relaxing fun, and we hope these episodes will be a welcome respite from the stress of life. This week, Lucas White (@HokutoNoRucas) joins in as we play through the very first game: Kirby's Dream Land for the original Game Boy. The game's a fascinating case study in just how much of the eventual formula was in place in the first title and how much wasn't.
