Introducing the 16-Bit Kirby Sprite Light

Bandai Namco, not just a giant in the gaming world but also a key player in the world of merch, recently announced on their official mail order site, Premium Bandai, that they have started taking reservations for their "Kirby's Dream Land Super Deluxe Dot Light".

The release, under the CCP's "Charanix" brand, is a nod to the vintage Kirby we all know and love. And if you're wondering about the price point, it stands at a reasonable 5,500 yen (though remember, this excludes shipping and handling). As of today's date, that's approximately $37 USD.

Key Dates to Remember:

• Reservation Period: From October 6, 2023, to January 15, 2024

• Shipping Date: January 2024

A Closer Look at Kirby's Design

Drawing inspiration from the action game "Kirby's Dream Land Super Deluxe" for the Nintendo DS released in 1996, this room light features the pixel art of Kirby from that title. The attention to detail is impressive; from Kirby's backward glance and facial expressions to the play of shadows and light tones. Each dot has been meticulously designed to replicate the game's aesthetic.

It's CCP's take on infusing daily electronics with some of our favorite game and anime characters, turning mundane moments into special memories. Whether it's kitchen gadgets or room lights, the goal is to sprinkle a dash of fandom into everyday life.

Conclusion

The Premium Bandai platform isn't just about limited edition collectibles. Yes, it's brimming with those, but it's also a haven for fans of anime and comics. So, if you've been waiting for that perfect piece of nostalgia to light up your room, Kirby's here to brighten up your 2024!
