Kirby might be a beloved Nintendo icon, but his games haven’t exactly sizzled the sales charts over the years. The pink puffball’s latest game, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, has already emerged as the top-selling Kirby game ever, with 5.27 million copies sold worldwide.
That means that Forgotten Land dethrones the previous best-seller, Kirby’s Dream Land, which sold 5.13 million copies. True heads will recognize this as the Game Boy entry that first introduced Kirby as a grey blob who didn’t even have his signature copy ability yet. Yes, Kirby’s come a long way in the intervening years.
