Kirby's always been more successful on a handheld though, I thinks. His first game was on the original Game Boy. There are only a handful of real Kirby games on consoles (as in not including spinoffs like Air Ride). I think I can pretty safely say I've played almost all of the true console ones (again, not including spinoffs), the only ones I haven't are Dream Land III (which I hear is pretty good) and Epic Yarn, AFAIK.
