Realistic Kirby justifies Nintendo’s approach

Thursday, September 11th, 2008 at 4:19pm by Derek

Realistic renderings of Nintendo characters often pop up on the Internet. We’ve posted a few of them on Infendo before, including that creepy Bowser illustration. But this one takes the cake.

This time, Kirby gets the realism treatment courtesy of the humor fiends at Halolz. The image is disturbing, so hit the jump to see it at your own discretion. This is why Nintendo doesn’t do realism.

I may never play another Kirby game ever again.

    First off, Halolz stole that image from a different website, and this is old as hell.

    Disgusting and disturbing.
    Realism does not mix with Nintendology.

    Is that a thumb for an ear?

    When I hit the jump and this popped up, the words “oh dear God!” literally fell out of my mouth. This is really disturbing! It looks like “fetal alcohol syndrome” Kirby.

    @El Hajjish: That’s one of his stubby little arms, not an ear. But I can see how one might think that.

    Good god. I literally threw up after seeing this picture. (It probably wasn’t the picture’s fault though.)

    Straight out of a David Lynch movie, if you ask me…

  18. Lance says...

    Uhh, that does not look like Kirby. There are some characters that are just not meant to be real looking at all. Kirby being one of them. That looks nothing like kirby in my opinion.

  19. Paul 2 (now that there is more than one) says...

    I’m in love.

    Man that is very bad photo shop, hell if I was nintendo I would sue them that’s how bad it is. Now if you take a nice sized breast and photo shop that then you would have kirby LOL.
