Well it's official. The title for the western release of the new
Kirby game on GBA will be called Kirby: & The Amazing Mirror. But what else
except for the title of the game, which previously was Kirby star:
Great Labyrinth of the Mirror and Kirby: Magic Mirror, has changed.
Well surprisingly little, the gameplay is exactly the same as the
Japanese version. The only major thing is the names of some of the enemies
(many thanks to kindar's E3 2004 report):

Mr. Frosty
.... Mr. Flosty! I have no idea what is up with this. I
thought maybe I was going blind but no.. it's definitely Flosty. I wasn't
too thrilled about that... it doesn't seem right.
N/A
Not many knew what to call this before, but the game has
him credited as 'Shadow Kirby'. It's safe to assume 'Dark Meta Knight' is
probably 'Shadow Meta Knight' too.
The current release dates are:
European: July 2nd 2004
U.S: October 18th 2004
