Don’t panic–these “burgers” aren’t a combination of meat and sweets but are rather burger-shaped cookie sandwiches in Kirby-inspired pink.
Creator of Kirby says that Americanized elements aren’t what overseas fans of Japanese games are looking for.
Even if you can’t get a table at the super-crowded Kirby Cafe, the pink video game hero wants to help you feel full.
Just as we’re bringing out our winter clothes, the Nintendo series-themed cafe is bringing out its winter menu.
Full English subtitles for series that starts with a 37-year-look at an important detail that often goes unnoticed.
Instead of chomping down enemies, Kirby’s tucking into burgers, dozing next to pizzas, and serving up coffee.
Nintendo star’s restaurant is offering something that looks like a beefy treat, but tastes entirely different.
