Look here:
http://www.classicgaming.com/kirby/info/reddiamond/

One of the people who bought it reported this:

The full game is in black and White. If you hold Select and Start an emulater screen pops up. The game cannot save. The game play is HORRIBLE (its kirby nightmare in dreamland exept the bosses are your size, you canot fly by taking in breathes...he just floats... its got no title screen, if you press alot of buttons the ground dissapears...) the manual has great art (from kirby and the magic mirror) and in the manual there is a 40 word summary of the game. I got Ripped off!

Looked real, didn't it? Yeah. I kinda wish it were real.

You bought it?
Wow, the page says that no-one fell for the hoax!
Did you get your money back?

1-Up Cheatachu · **Posted:** Wed Jul 20, 2005 1:34 am

I didn't buy it. someone else did.

Neo · **Posted:** Wed Jul 20, 2005 1:37 am

Well, do tou know if he/she got their money back?
Or if the culprit got caught?

1-Up Cheatachu · **Posted:** Wed Jul 20, 2005 1:37 am

I do not know if the person got her/his money back. However, the hoax was reported to Nintendo's legal department.

I searched "Kirby Red diamond on ebay, and found this: Click here to see

and heres a pic:

This could be the infamous Red diamond re-packaged. It says: gb advance new game. It could just be a pirated version of "nightmare in dreamland, or just a hoax.

the description says:

Quote:

Gameboy Advance / SP / Nintendo DS Game

100% English Version

BRAND NEW and BOXED!
YOU WILL GET
GAME AND INSTRUCTION BOOKLET IN BOX

*

All games are new English Gameboy Advance Version.
*

You will get the game, the box and the instruction manual.
*

Guaranteed working on ALL Versions of GBA / GBA SP / Nintendo DS (UK, US, Europe, Japan)

This is obviously a hoax, or a pirated game.

1 : There is no "nintendo" seal.

2 : The is no ESRB rating

3: The GameBoy advance is done wrong. (on both the case and the game)

4: This game was never released, or planned.

5: Strange name!

6: kirby tilt and tumble artwork!

It's very convincing though. One could easily fall for it.

Do game boy games really work on the DS?

Interesting. The one you showed is much less convincing than the Red Diamond I found.

Neo · **Posted:** Wed Jul 20, 2005 3:54 am

Wow... It's using graphics from Kirby tilt and tumble.

It could be a pirate of tilt and tumble... Just put into a gba. The "Gb advance: new game" gives me the thought that it's a pirated game.

A hoax Kirby game? All my hopes and dreams...

Nah. If there was a new Kirby game coming out, I would have already known. No way would I fall for this.

Acekirby is a hoax? So he didn't really get 1000 posts?

On a toastpaint note, if I had any interest in buying a Kirby game for a Game Boy that I don't even have, I'd buy it. It looks real.

No. I'm not a hoax. I'M A REAL BOY!

Any way, I wouldn't buy it because I know what the Tilt N' Tumble Box Art looks like.

You want to know why that makes it so obvious for a Four Year old????The fact it says GB Advance New Game. They dont ackknowledge whether its new or not..

KIRBY TRIVIA: Did you know Kirby appeared in The Mario game, Yoshis Island??? Boss and Enemy!

Yeah, and they wouldn't write it on the side like that. Would they change the box once it's not new anymore?

The Noid · **Posted:** Wed Jul 20, 2005 4:41 pm

That doesnt happen often i think...for Gamboy Advance anyway....

Puphles · **Posted:** Wed Jul 20, 2005 4:50 pm

The Star Red Diamond is much less convincing than the first one. Especially the NEW GAME thing.

Easy. Keep in mind we have a Kirby addict here.

I agree that the first image is a lot more convincing than the second one.

Speaking of which, Kirby Appeared in the GB/GBC game "Legend of Zelda: Links awakening"

He would suck you up and spit you against the wall. Oh, And speaking of which, Goombas, Pirana Plants, And Yoshi also Appeared in this game...And Link Goes On a date with Marin (Apparently later renamed to Malon) :eek:

A strange Zelda game indeed.

I have that game and I noticed the camoes. It was one of the stranger Zelda games, I must say.

Well, you probably know this (any hard-core Zelda fan does), but all of the Zelda games are helped by the Super Mario Club, which also helps with Mario games. The greatest Mario cameo is in OOT, where you can see a picture of Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi if you look in a window at the Palace Courtyard.

well, u know, even though this is a hoax game, it would be prety cool to be able to say to ur kids 40 years from now, or so, "Kids; i bought the hoax kirby game just because i am a hardcore fan", this hoax game is obviously going to go down in kirby history probably as "the biggest kirby Hoax Since Vietnam", or somthin, i dont know, im not familliar in Kirby Esq., either way, itd be a prety cool keepsake, not to ply, but to keep.......yeah

I seriously feel sorry for whoever bought that. I might actually have a use for it, because I don't have NID, but nah, I don't think so. I think it would suck being in black and white with no title screen and same-size boss enemies.

BOTPD! :eekdance:
