Excited, will hopefully wash the bad taste of Yoshi's New Island out.
For kicks and giggles, compare the soundtrack.
Some pretty blowing reviews.
But would you take seriously a review that bashes Tetris because it lacks narrative and production values? Not all games are trying to accomplish the same thing.Scores and reviews reflect the opinions of a reviewer applied to the score standards of a website. Should someone avoid complaining about something like Kirby being easy because it's the accepted standard? If someone didn't have fun with something for a specific reason, their opinion still belongs among the pool of people who think the experience is just right. Something being an accepted standard doesn't excuse that something from criticism or mean they shouldn't be reviewing it. If anything, a flawed standard makes criticism more necessary.
Have Kirby games really been easy?
I remember playing Return to Dream Land twice, and I certainly found it harder than any of the New Super Mario Bros. (outside of the special worlds), even more so when you count Kirby's bosses, the Extra mode, and the whole boss rush mode. The only way I was able to beat that final boss when I first played was by using the Electricity power-up, charging it by shaking the Wii remote, and spamming the most powerful attack in the game, lol. Sometimes I feel like people just call the game easy because of its looks, but I wonder what other people think...
I would be more interested in hearing about this game's difficulty compared to the Wii game.

should be a fun game, and it's only 30 dollars. We will be sucked

Return to Dream Land is one of the only exceptions in the entire series. Generally speaking, they've all been rather breezy experiences.

I don't believe in genre standards, personally. And if we all can agree that good platformers can be very hard, or "just in the middle" without thinking one is superior to the other, there's room for platformers that go below that. It's a series trying a different thing, so yeah, in my opinion it's silly bashing a game that is clearly covering one of three tiers within Nintendo platformers (it'd be something like Kirby -> Mario -> Donkey Kong in terms of difficulty).Ah, but the difference here is that Tetris is part of a very technical genre focused on mechanics, and because of this, no reviewer has ever asked for that. Kirby is part of the platforming genre, which is also an extremely technical genre where no one really cares about the story usually unless the game actively makes an attempt at it.
However, if Tetris was too easy even at its hardest, people would complain justifiably, even if it gained an impressive fanbase. And by the time the fifth Tetris game was out, and if it was still too easy to someone, they should still complain about it. Doing your own thing doesn't excuse that thing from criticism. Things that don't work don't work.

Return to the King in Super Star Ultra is up there too, but it's disappointingly short and you could probably dismiss it as a hard mode version of Spring Breeze from the same game. The extra content in the main games tends to be kinda challenging, but for the most part [Ridley327 is] right in RtDL being the only one with any sort of sharp difficulty increase.

Wow, that music is awesome.
It is somewhat similar to the Super Smash Bros. Metal Mario music.
(A small part of me wishes that HAL would go back to making Smash Bros. again only because I want Hirokazu Ando to do all the music, like he did in the first and sort of the second games.)
Hardcore Gamer gave it a 4/5 -

Wasn't Melee's composer Shogo Sakai (from Mother 3)?

According to this link, both he and Ando worked on Melee, while only Ando worked on the original.
(I just didn't feel like writing it all out, so I said Ando sort of made all the music for Melee.)
Goddamn.
WHAT AM I LISTENING TO???!!!

Anyone here know how long it will take to 100% this game? Kirby games from my experience have always been relatively short.
