Looks like a wonderful conversion of the classic Kirby charm to 3D, will be getting it for sure
And on the 30th anniversary, right? He kept us waiting long enough. Should be worth the wait though.
In a single year, an open world Pokemon and a Kirby 3D. Two dreams of my childhood come true.
I have to admit that a 3D kirby has been a dream since the N64 era, but i don't think that it'd live up to my childhood expectations now that i'm 27. Maybe i would have enjoyed it if i had 10 years but today it's really hard to believe.
A proper open world pokémon game however has always and will always be a dream that i hope comes true before i die.
Idk. Kirby games are still a joy to play for me. Never that hard (except for usually the last boss fight). Just a nice, pleasant, fun game is what you get.
I’m a few years older than you and enjoyed Planet Robobot.
If it’s a good 3D Kirby game you will probably still enjoy it/
Fantastic
The music is really appealing.
Whoah! This is the most excited I’ve been for a Kirby game outside of Dreamland 2 and Superstar!
Yeah, Dreamland 2 seems like a weird one to get excited about, but as a kid it was like a whole other level of platformer for Gameboy when compared to the Mario games.
I loved Dreamland 2. My sister 100% cleared it, but I didn’t manage it until years later when I finally learnt the secret to the maze to access the ending.
Kirby has always have some great and different offerings for everyone, my nephew just played dreamland 1 and 2 and got to experience some harder difficulties with respect to the modern kirby games he knows, i've got nothing against Superstar and its formula(that formula was later the base for smash bros.) but it made playing through the game too easy with the enormous array of broken abilities kirby got, in original dreamland he didn't get any abilities; in adventure and dreamland 2 if you got hit you would lost the power, and in adventure, dreamland 2, 3 and kirby 64 you would only get one or two abilities at most per power; return to dreamland, triple deluxe, planet robobot and others have achieved some balance between giving too many powers to kirby and having a higher difficulty; Star allies was just a clusterfuck of powers being spamed by several players to overwhelm bosses; Superstar also removed much of the puzzle solving and item collecting to achieve 100% true final boss and true ending, so i guess people can like different kirby games, even they still honour kirby Superstar as "The best kirby game".
After triple deluxe and planet robobot plots and characters, i still expect this entry to expand the kirby universe, the 64 level "shiver star" already kinda implied kirby visiting a postapocalyptic earth, so i'm waiting on this one with true expectation, i also would like more whacky powers like in 64.
Looks nice. I always enjoy Kirby titles
Looks good but I wont get it, Kirby games are always far far too easy. If there is no challenge whatsoever then I'd rather go watch a movie.
There’s a community of Kirby players that have discovered all kinds of ways of making the game harder since unlocking hard mode in Kirby’s Dreamland.
Quite a few of them have crazy tough 100% runs and most of them have mechanics to allow no-ability runs.
It’s probably not your thing, but others have found fun ways to make the game harder.
If I have to find ways to make the game harder, it means the game was not hard enough to begin with. What's the point? If a game doesn't give me a challenge I find no purpose in playing it. Its not like there's a lack of other games to play. There's literally hundreds and hundreds of games to play with adequate difficulty.
Kirby comes out to me as a kids only game, and I mean 5 year olds, not 8, because at 8 I was beating Mario on the NES, so at age 8 I was very capable.
what kirby games have you played? the kirby dreamland games were more difficult to 100% and get true ending than Mario games from NES.
