Kirby 25th Anniversary Sweepstakes: Namco Japan Offers Exclusive Plush Prizes via Twitter

Namco Japan is celebrating the beloved pink hero’s milestone with the launch of the Kirby 25th Anniversary Sweepstakes—a special event giving fans the chance to win exclusive Kirby-themed prizes.

As one of the most enduring franchises from Nintendo, Kirby continues to enjoy widespread popularity, captivating gamers across generations since the character’s debut in 1992.

This anniversary celebration underscores both Kirby’s legacy and Namco’s ongoing engagement with fans in Japan. The Kirby 25th Anniversary Sweepstakes is being hosted on Namco Japan’s official Twitter account, “@namco_jp”, and runs from December 1 (Friday) through December 14 (Thursday).

Fans eager to participate must first follow Namco Japan on Twitter.

Once entered, participants become eligible to win one of ten specially crafted Kirby plush dolls.

These limited-edition prizes are notable for their unique sizing: the dimensions of each plush Kirby will correspond with the total number of retweets the company receives during the campaign period—a creative way to encourage community interaction and spread awareness. According to Namco Japan, winners will be contacted directly via direct message from the official account.

It’s important to note that if a participant unfollows the “@namco_jp” account after applying, their entry will be disqualified.

Furthermore, the sweepstakes is open only to those who can provide valid shipping information within Japan; winners must ensure their details are accurate to avoid disqualification.

Prizes are strictly non-transferable, non-exchangeable, and may not be exchanged for cash or alternative goods. Shipping for the prizes is scheduled to begin in mid-April 2018, though Namco notes that actual dates may be subject to change based on logistical factors.

Participants must also cover any personal connection or communication fees incurred through the application process. Namco Japan has refrained from addressing individual inquiries regarding application status or results; all winners will be notified solely through direct message.

These measures ensure a fair and streamlined process for both the company and the fans vying for these collectible items. Nintendo enthusiasts and Kirby fans can learn more about the ongoing celebration by visiting the official website for Kirby’s 25th Anniversary.

The anniversary has seen a surge of commemorative releases and events, demonstrating the enduring appeal of Kirby across Nintendo Switch, eShop, and other Nintendo platforms.

Namco Japan’s interactive sweepstakes is a testament to the strong relationship between developers and the gaming community, offering another memorable experience for fans of the iconic franchise.
