Here are descriptions and other miscellaneous information on Kirby games from Meta Naito:
Kirby & The Amazing Mirror
Game Names:
星のカービィ 鏡の大迷宮 (JP)
Kirby & the Amazing Mirror (US/EU)
Information:
Kirby & the Amazing Mirror is one of the most odd ball Kirby game that is still a platformer. The game dose not features King Dedede even once, not even a reference. Kirby also has to save Meta Knight who was been trapped in the Amazing Mirror, by Dark Meta Knight. There is even Shadow Kirby in this game. Oh did I mention that it is an open world game, because it is. Also Master Hand and Crazy Hand from Super Smash Bros., they are some tough Bosses.
Okay at this point you probably think I am pulling your leg, I mean this is like the opposite of a Kirby game. Well I got news for you, I din't make a word of this up like I mentioned earlier this is a very odd ball game. The game was built upon Nightmare in Dream Land as it runs the same graphics and such, even so much so that it also has 4 player ability, though sense it is an open world everyone can explore and find piece of the Amazing Mirror to help it get back together. Also you will always have 4 players as the CPU will play as them though they are not very smart.
The basic story of the game is that there is a Mirror World, accessed by the Amazing Mirror, and at some point it became a Dark Mirror World. Meta Knight figured this out and went to stop it, he was confronted by Dark Meta Knight and was defeated, he then trapped him inside the mirror and destroyed it. Following which he attacked Kirby and split him into 4 Kirby's who then worked together to save Meta Knight and get to the bottom of this madness.

Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
Game Names:
星のカービィ 夢の泉 デラックス (JP)
Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land (US/EU)
Information:
Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland is a remake of Kirby's Adventure for the NES. The game features new updated graphics, a few new Sub Games, and some minor changes. The biggest and most notable and most mentionable difference is that the entire game can be played with 4 players. This was the First Kirby game to do this, each had their own separate color, Pink, Yellow, Green, and Red. Though sometimes if two Kirby's have the same ability it will be hard to tell the difference.
The game also has a new extra mode, well it is not so new as this was in the original, but this time instead of playing as Kirby you can play as Meta Knight through the whole game, except for the final boss. The only downfall of this is that you have to play it in one go as the game cannot be saved, though it will keep track of how long it took you to beat it, kind of like a time trial.

Kirby: Canvas Curse
Game Names:
タッチ! カービィ (JP)
Kirby: Canvas Curse (US)
Kirby: Power Paintbrush (EU)
Information:
Kirby: Canvas Curse is the first odd ball main stream Kirby game, as instead of featuring your typical platform game Kirby has now been turned into a ball and has to roll his way to the exit with the help of you and your Magic Paint Brush. (the stylist) The game also features other characters who are unlock able latter in the game such as Meta Knight and King Dedede, speaking of King Dedede, he is also a Boss in this game, now how does that work?
The games art style is very different from other Kirby games as Kirby is now trapped inside paintings giving it unique worlds and visuals. Yet it at the same time stays to Kirby's root as all the enemies and characters are just like they were in the old games. It is also good to note that Kirby still has his copy ability as when he rolls over certain enemies he can take their ability, such as rolling over a Waddle Doo will get him the Beam ability just like sucking him up did.
The game also features collectables in the way of Medals; these can be obtained tons of ways and used to buy stuff in the Medal Swap, fortunately the game designers new the flaw of the Nintendo DS's touch screen and how it does not always work right, especially for a launch title like Canvas Curse. So there are 250 to collect but you only need to be able to obtain around 200 of them to be able to unlock everything, though the game does not consider you 100% the game until all 250 of been obtained, so if you are a completionist prepare for a wild ride as this game will last you a while.

Kirby Super Star Ultra
Game Names:
星のカービィ ウルトラスーパー デラックス (JP)
Kirby Super Star Ultra (US/EU)
Information:
Kirby Super Star Ultra is a remake of Kirby Super Star for the SNES, though this game features many more things than just new graphics, the game now has full on video cut sense, 4 new games, and 3 new Sub Games. The game takes full advantage of using both the top and bottom screen, generally the bottom is just for data, but it is still useful. The game is also still multiplayer, though you need two games to play the whole thing together, while you can play Spring Breeze with only one game.
The main new game is Revenge of the King, where at this point King Dedede is losing his power as a King. So he puts Kirby to the true test, though it is basically just Extra mode of Kirby's Dream Land for the Game Boy, it still contains many changes to make it much more threatening to Kirby, power ups are scarce and bosses are crazy, they even through in a new boss just to mix it up!
The game also is the first game to feature the True arena, as it had you fight all the new bosses in the game and the old ones that had new forms. The game has tons of replay ability and tons of secrets and even when the game tells you that you have 100% the game, there are still things to do to unlock more that the game is keeping from you.

Kirby's Epic Yarn
Game Names:
毛糸のカービィ (JP)
Kirby's Epic Yarn (US/EU)
Information:
Kirby's Epic Yarn is not only the first Kirby platform game to be on a console sense Kirby 64, but it was also the first Kirby game sense Kirby's Dream Land to not have the ability to eat your enemies and take their powers. Kirby is now made of Yarn and trapped in Patch Land (which is inside a magic sock) and comes across a blue yarn boy, Prince Fluff. Prince Fluff explains that an evil sorcerer Yin-Yarn has separated Patch Land into many different pieces; Kirby agrees to help him fix Patch Land and stitch it back together.
Though Kirby may not have abilities he can actually bend his body into different shapes such as a weight to fall down faster or a umbrella to fall down slower. He also on occasion will come to Super Transformations which will allow him to change into other forms such as a giant robot or a UFO. These abilities add a different pace to the game and make it much more exciting.
You also have your own room that you can furnish, kind of like the game Animal Crossing. You will find furniture in each of the stages in the game which can then be placed in your room to create something of your own style. You will also be tasked with designing other rooms to attract people to some apartment buildings. These people will them play mini games with you and each one you win will reward you with some new wall paper for your room.

Kirby: Mass Attack
Game Names:
あつめて! カービィ (JP)
Kirby: Mass Attack (US/EU)
Information:
Kirby Mass Attack is the 2nd odd ball main stream Kirby game, the 1st being Kirby: Canvas Curse. This game does not have Kirby's Copy abilities instead Kirby has now been split into 10, and you know what they say the more the merrier. Each Kirby has 2 lives and once dead will fly away, but they can be grabbed and revived. Kirby can also not fly in this game but instead can be carried by his warp star, which is your styles touching the screen.
The game also features a ton of Sub Games, most of which are actually really deep. They have Pinball, Star Patrol, Whack a Mole, and all sorts of other ideas, and these games aren't vaguely deep they are extremely deep. Kirby's Pinball features a big main Pinball Machine which has many surprises and secrets, and even King Dedede who will send you to Boss fights (there are 4) each of which when defeated gives a high amount of points to the player.
Outside of the Sub Games are actual levels made in to types of Mini Games, there are levels where you ride around in a tank blowing things up, yes you read that right, Kirby has a tank, and each Kirby is considered ammunition. There are also other levels where they have mini pinball or water skiing, they even have stages where you are running for your life from an Ice Dragon! The game also has a lot of "tasks" (achievements) which all need to be done to get 100%.

Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition
Game Names:
星のカービィ 20周年スペシャルコレクション (JP)
Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition (US/EU)
Information:
Kirby's Dream Collection is what it says it is a Collection of older video games. It includes Kirby's Dream Land 1, 2, and 3, as well as Kirby's Adventure, Kirby Super Star, and Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. The game was released for the celebration of the 20th Anniversary of Kirby. All of the games can be played with just a Wii Remote, unlike the regular virtual console titles you would download from the Wii Shop. The game also includes a challenge game section and a history section.
The History section covers all of Kirby's history from 1992 when Kirby's Dream Land was released on the Game Boy to 2012 when Kirby's Dream Collection was released. The history includes many things from when each game was released, when certain Nintendo Consoles were released, to when the last Harry Potter movie came out. It is also good to note that all of the games have a cool video that shows you some gameplay. They also included 3 episodes of the Kirby TV Show Kirby: Right Back at Ya!
The challenge section of the game is extremely similar to Kirby's Return to Dream Land's Challenge games in Magolor's Ship. Magolor actually bit all of the Challenge stages for Kirby as they are now good friends. The graphics are straight from Kirby's Return to Dream Land, and there are even Boss Stages where you will race Magolor to the finish line. The game also includes the Ability Smash, which is all of Kirby's movies from Super Smash Bros. This ability was only included one other game and that was Kirby and The Amazing Mirror.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
Game Names:
タッチ!カービィ スーパー レインボー (JP)
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse (US)
Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush (EU)
Information:
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse was announced at the 2014 E3 convention. It was released on January 22, 2015 in Japan, and on February 20, 2015 in North America. It hasn't been released in Europe yet. It is considered the spiritual successor of Kirby Canvas Curse because of its gameplay style of drawing a line for Kirby to roll on. The game is also very similar to Epic Yarn in that the art style is entirely based on clay. (The odd thing is that the clay isn't caused by a sorcerer like the yarn is; the style is there from the beginning.)
Kirby has again lost his abilities in this game, though he has transformations similar to Epic Yarn. Interestingly enough, three Waddle Dees can also join the action, moving with their feet instead of rolling. The collectables in the game are found in treasure chests, as in Squeak Squad, and include statues and songs. One more thing to note is that the Amiibo figurines of Kirby, Meta Knight, and King Dedede can be used to power up Kirby in the game.
Kirby begins the adventure by dropping his apple down a hill. As he chases it, he trips and starts rolling down a hill himself, eventually bumping into Bandana Waddle Dee. When Waddle Dee looks up, he sees a strange hole forming in the sky and a beam of light sucking life and color out of Dream Land. He tries to warn Kirby about it, but Kirby is too late to listen and the beam turns them white and motionless. Suddenly a paintbrush-like creature named Elline comes out of the hole and paints them back to life. After they save her from a pair of monsters, she asks them to help her. They agree and follow her back into the hole.

Kirby: Planet Robobot
Game Names:
星のカービィ ロボボ プラネット (JP)
Kirby: Planet Robobot (US/EU)
Information:
Kirby: Planet Robobot is the second main series game on the Nintendo 3DS. It was announced at the end of a Nintendo Direct on March 3rd 2016. It will be releasing in Japan on April 28th 2016 and in America and Europe on June 10th 2016. The plot of the game is that one day Dream Land is invaded by robots and is taken over and made a mechanical world. Now Kirby needs to get rid of all the robots before it is too late.
The game features two new known powers. Poison and Doctor. The poison ability is very similar to the water ability in Kirby Return to Dream Land, however there are some different uses of it such as acid being left on the ground and the ability to create a cloud of gas in the air. The other new ability is the Doctor ability. This ability features pills to be thrown, much like Doctor Mario in the Super Smash Bros series. It also allows him to do a spin like Doctor Mario's down special. He can also pull out a clip board to hit enemies with, squirt liquid medicine into the air, and combine medicine to create chemicals to freeze enemies.
Kirby also takes advantage of robots he defeats and takes over them so he can use them against them. When Kirby gets in a robot it becomes a special Kirby robot. This robot can destroy many obstacles and can take on different abilities. Such as fire allowing it to use a flame thrower or sword making the robots arms energy blades that can rip apart enemies extremely quickly. Current Robot abilities known are: Sword, Fire, Beam, Spark, Cutter, Stone, Parasol, and Jet.
There will also be four new amiibos released with the game, these amiibos will be a Kirby Riding a Star, King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Waddle Dee. Tough little is known about what games they will be compatible with, the Kirby one will give him the UFO ability, and the King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Waddle Dee ones will make Kirby look like the respective character used. Also other amiibos will be usable, currently it is confirmed that Mario will give Kirby the fire ability, and Link will give the sword ability.
