Kirby General Discussion Thread

There’s a demo for Battle royale on the European shop
 
Your given 5 demo tickets and a certain amount of time to play it every day. Also you’re given the option to transfer ‘battle coins’ and a character tot he full game when you eventually get it.

I got the SNES Classic Edition recently.  
I already had “Kirby’s Super Star,” but it’s nice to see it included.  
The other Kirby game included “Kirby’s Dream Course” made some question why it was included, or even upset a “better” game wasn’t, (as if the SNES Classic doesn’t have enough platformers, or RPGs included) but after playing it a few times, I actually found it quite fun, unique, and underrated.  
It feels like a cross between the game of golf, bowling, (sense you have to roll over enemies) and shooting pool, (bouncing Kirby off walls offers many different ways to beat levels) but with some clever puzzle & Kirby aspects, mixed in. (Like where, and when you should use copy abilities you get from enemies.)
 
I was actually a li’l disapointed no puzzle games were included in the mini SNES Classic (like say “Tetris Attack,” or “Tetris & Dr. Mario”) but “Dream Course” kinda fills that void a bit.

I got the last two on an emulator as well as Super Star

@Dirty Bit  
I don’t really feel comfortable with unofficial emulators on PC personally, (as it’s kinda like piracy) but I’m not going to tell others what to do. Admittedly, it does help archive games that aren’t available anymore due to obscurity, or licensing costs, and such. (Like the TMNT games.) So it at least helps with games that have no chance for a official rerelease.
 
What bugs me though is all over the official Youtube trailer for the SNES Classic, and such nerds are actually mocking & shaming people for wanting to buy it, instead of getting it’s games for free online unofficially. By that logic, they shouldn’t buy $60. games, or computer accessories anymore, and just pirate them. It’s really frustrating when people try to mock others for wanting something.  
Besides, nothing beats holding an actual SNES controller. (Which can be used for Wii & WiiU too.)
 
When you come down to it, not including the costs of the mini console, wires, and 2 controllers, each of the 21 SNES games included is less then $4, which is cheaper then the official VC/Eshop service, (where they retail for $8) or getting an old used cartridge. (Good luck finding some of these rare games for under $5.)  
So it’s really not a bad buy, despite having fewer games then the NES Classic. (Granted many of it’s were more simple & shorter then the SNES ones like Pac-Man, Galaga, Balloon Fight, and such. Though, I still like those games too, don’t get me wrong.)

Oh hey Kirby return to Dreamland was released in Na 6 years ago yesterday ( 25th November for my side)  

@Marx
 
Huh. It felt longer, honestly.

@Dirty Bit  
It still baffles me the Wii is “old” now personally.
 
I actually got it via a WiiU Eshop sale price-cut.

You it’s kinda crazy how over the top kirby villains have gotten over the years, the first game had kirby beating up an overweight penguin who stole food, now compare that to planet robobot which had kirby destroying a planet sized, reality warping, Godlike wish granting super machine hellbent on committing mass genocide on the entire universe, I wouldn’t be surprised if the villain of star allies or a future kirby game turned out to be an eldritch abomination hellbent on erasing all of existence itself.

@Meh brony  
Please you don’t know eldritch abominations then you look at 02.

@igotnopicks  
Oh i’m well aware of how much of an eldritch abomination 02 and dark matter in general is, hell star dream a supermachine that’s infinitely times more powerful than anything we humans have today could only replicate dark matter’s swordsman form and even then it took nearly everything it had just to do that, you know you’re an eldritch abomination when a God like supermachine can’t even begin to comprehend your true form, honestly it’s a miracle that kirby and co haven’t been driven to insanity by now.

You seem to be having issues with double-posting…

@Jarkes  
I think it’s because my phone has trouble with trying to remain connected with my house’s WiFi, it tends to randomly disconnect and then quickly reconnect to it in a split second, I think it’s because there’s too many devices connected to my house’s WiFi at the moment.

@Beau Skunky
 
Yeah, you’d think they would’ve had Dream Land 3 on the SNES Classic and not Dream Course…

@Meh brony  
Kirby fought beings of mass destruction. Look at Marx So a Super Computer that can warp reality is nothing new for the Pink Ball.

@igotnopicks  
Don’t forget magolor who was pretty much marx on magical steroids, going off topic if there was any kirby game you’d like to see for virtual console on the switch which would it be? For me it would definitely be kirby air ride that game was a huge part of my childhood plus it would be awesome to play it on the go.

@Jarkes  
Dream Land 3 isn’t as good as “Super Star” and I already have it via “Kirby’s Dream Collection.” I kinda prefer them including “Dream Course,” ‘cause I don’t have it already, it’s more overlooked, and the SNES Classic needs at least one game that isn’t a platformer, shooter, or RPG. I like the golf/pool/puzzle aspect of it too.
 
@Meh brony  
How ’bout the SNES version of “Star Stacker?” Seeing how it never got released outside Japan.

@Beau Skunky  
Eh, I think we all know the reason why Kirby’s Dream Course included in the SNES Classic Edition. Its because of the Game Grumps.

@Red-Supernova  
I never watch them much, so I wouldn’t know.
 
I do suspect, they kinda helped get “Mappy-Land” & “Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures” on WiiU Virtual Console, which I’m greatful for, as I liked those obscure games as a kid.  
Still, waiting for “Ardy Lightfoot” though…

Battle Royale releases tomorrow for PAL. o3o
 
Also if I had my own house I’d totally get one of these.  
Robobot figure
 
 
 

I’m still a bit confused as to what exactly Battle Royale is… Is it like a full-blown fighting game or something?

@Marx
 
Awesome

@Jarkes  
Nah it’s more of a Crash Bash or Ape Escape: Pumped & Primed kind of game.
 
It’s like Mario Party without the board games. Also an online mode

@Marx
 
God, I miss Crash Bash…
