Premium Bandai will produce and sell a unique light lamp modeled after a 16-bit Kirby sprite from the SNES entry Kirby Super Star. In its Japanese press release, the company revealed that the sprite light will support multiple brightness levels. The user will be able to set the light to be either bright enough to help read books and play games, or dim enough for sleep time. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]
The lamp will be 20cm (7.87in) wide and 19m (7.48in) tall. It will also have a thickness of 5 centimeters or almost 2 inches.
The back side of this sprite light will have a USB-C cable slot to provide power. The package will also come with a 1.5 meter (~4.9 feet) long Type-A to Type-C USB cable. Kirby's back left foot will feature a dial that the owner can turn to adjust the light's brightness level.
Pre-orders for the Kirby sprite light are exclusively available on the Japanese Premium Bandai website until January 15, 2024. People residing outside Japan will have to find a proxy service on their own to obtain this item.
The 16-bit light will add another entry to the expansive list of Kirby merchandise. Premium Bandai will also re-release the 2019 cushion plush of inhaling Kirby in January 2024. In September 2023, Kadokawa released the third Where's Waldo-inspired Kirby puzzle book on its Yomeruba website.
The 16-bit Kirby sprite light will be released in January 2024. The character sprite will be based on Kirby Super Star (also known in Japan as Kirby Super Deluxe and in Europe as Kirby's Fun Pak), which came out for the SNES in 1996 in Japan and North America, and in 1997 in PAL regions.
