Stafi? Stafy? Starfi? Starfy? Who the fuck knows? All I do know is that we are finally getting a North American release of a popular 1st party Nintendo series that has been around for years in Japan. This stood out for me as one of the few interesting releases on Nitendo's giant fucking list of upcoming shovel-ware for the DS and Wii.Take Mario, Kirby, a lot of water, and a fuck ton of cute, and you get The Legendary Starfy. This may look like a baby game, but I assure you, the series has already had 5 games in Japan and all have been very well received. The game has excellent art and animation, as well as some pretty awesome music.
I believe The Legendary Starfy is the 5th game in the series (there have been 3 GBA and 2 DS games), but that's fine, you have to start somewhere. Here is a trailer:
The real question is will a character this cutesy actually work in this country? We have Kirby and all, but we all know what happened to him over here. Well we will certainly find out soon enough. With the market Neo Nintendo has created, I guess now is a better time than ever before.

Honestly I'm really excited for this title to come out here, when I first heard of Stafy, I looked up some gameplay and it looked like a lot of fun!
And I hope this announcement leads to even more Nintendo IPs to find their way stateside (Im looking at the Mother games we haven't got)
Do we know if the Wii vers. will be retail or WiiWare yet?
i can't believe nintendo's been holding this title back for this long. i just heard about this while listening to the giant bombcast(i think it was giant bomb), and i can't wait.
Excitement... Rising... Cutness, too much... ERROR! OVERLOAD! ERROR!
This actually looks pretty fun in my view. I just wonder why Nintendo hasn't even thought of bringing it over here... Is it because of Kirby being the "upper hand"? Since both games look similar in terms of gameplay, but Stafy does not copy moves, that's probably the reason why it's a unique game.
Looks like too much super happy fun fun is going on there. lulz.
