A cryptic Nintendo press release has revealed a special event for this Thursday (September 18, 2008). Nintendo is going to be at Kirby Middle School in Birmingham, AL, Kirby Historical Mill in Medford, NJ, Kirby Park in Kingston, PA and Kirby Gate Shopping Center in Memphis, TN for a “Celestrial Event.” Of course it’s talking about Kirby Super Star Ultra, the remake of the SNES game Kirby Super Star.

Nintendo hasn’t discussed what kind of goings-on will be happening at any of the four locations. The press release just states that at 8:30am-12:30pm Central time and 9:30am-1:30pm Eastern time, something special will be going down. Also, it states that someone from Nintendo will be giving interviews at Kirby Middle School. Since it says Nintendo authority, it could be an official representative, or maybe even Kirby himself. If it was a guy in a Kirby suit, I’d so be there - I want a picture with Kirby!

I’m sure that, since this is some sort of launch event for Kirby Super Star Ultra, there will be plenty of Kirby themed items. There will also probably be copies of Kirby Super Star Ultra and DS demo stations where people can sample the game. Maybe even a contest? If you live near Birmingham, Medford, Kingston or Memphis, it might be worth checking out. Kirby Super Star Ultra comes out September 22, 2008.

The event locations, as taken from the official press release:

• Kirby Middle School 1328 28th Street Birmingham, AL 35234
• Kirby Historical Mill 275 Church Road Medford, NJ 08055
• Kirby Park 301 Northampton Street Kingston, PA 18704
• Kirby Gate Shopping Center 6548 Quince Memphis, TN 38119
