Yeah, you should never really get a Game Over.
However, it is harder than Triple Deluxe which I appreciate.

I believe this will be the second retail 3DS game I will get this year, after Mega Man Legacy Collection.

Looking forward to picking this game up when it releases
Kirby and HAL hardly seem to get the recognition they deserve sometimes

In retrospect, it actually might be HAL that has the best reputation overall for a Development Studio. When was the last time they made a bad game? And they made some of the greatest games ever in the Mother Series.
Why would you do that?

I've never been as happy with the Kirby franchise as I have been lately.
I only really loved Kirby's Adventure on the NES, but I wasn't terribly into any of the other Kirby games, including Kirby Super Star, Kirby 64, and the GBA/DS Kirby games. However, since Kirby: Return to Dreamland on the Wii, I have been absolutely in love with the series. I don't know what happened, but the games suddenly became extremely amazing out of nowhere.
I'm really looking forward to Planet Robobot, and I am looking forward to the crazy action, energetic moves, and interesting bosses, especially with the robot.
Also, I tried not to spoil myself with the music, but, well, it has amazing music:

I promised myself I would only listen to the soundtrack only once before actually playing the game, but it's hard, lol.

I'm happy for you Kirby fans. Of all Nintendo franchises, you guys are spoiled with all of the great releases.
What didn't you like about Mass Attack? I thought it was a pretty fun game and most critics seemed to like it as well.
This is all I wanted to read.
PR is going to be the first Kirby game I'm buying in forever.

Would this be a good first Kirby game to play?
Never really played them growing up, but have a 3ds and want to get a platform we to play everyone in a while.

Every Kirby game is a good first Kirby game so this one should be no different.

I'm in!
Kirby is very much like Mario where you can easily jump into any game in the series without prior experience and get the hang of things really quickly
I would say get Robobot and if you like it, get Triple Deluxe too

question to someone that played it, how would you compare it to return to dreamland?
Does it reach the same highs or even surpass them?

And even Kirby has now it's own line of amiibo figures. Good times to be a Kirby fan.

Can't wait for friday, had a great time with Triple Deluxe and this sounds even better.

I've been going for 100% in Triple DX in anticipation of this... I'm up to 84%.
Return to Dreamland, Triple Deluxe and Planet Robobot are all very similar but Robobot has been my favourite of the three, easily.

Damn didn't realize this game came out. Went under the radar. This thread didn't have many posts nor were there any other threads hyping the release.
Same thing with Mirror's Edge 2.

It's not out in North America until June 10th (2 days).
Agree.

My preorder arrived yesterday... to the wrong address. Supposedly I will receive it today (my parents have it due to GAME messing my old address), but damn, it would have been cool to play it a few days before release.

Yes, I'm certain there will be an OT.

Happy to see some solid review scores. I just replayed Kirby's adventure on the 3ds so im excited to get some new kirby and power up action.
*Golf clap*
Yeah the 3DS already had Triple Deluxe don't know why they went ahead and made ANOTHER game pretty similar to TD on 3DS. This would have been perfect if it was on Wii U but I guess it was easier to make it on 3DS and reuse all the assets from TD... Sometimes I simply don't understand the way Nintendo takes decisions when making new games.

I feel like this has to be the OT title.

Got my copy with amiibo today. Not sure when I will start it but I loved Triple Deluxe so really looking forward to it.
It's perfect!

I didn't play Triple Deluxe so I'm even extra looking forward to this.
Didn't realize so many people disliked Rainbow Curse. I thought it was a pretty damn good game, replayed it twice. It's got a fun mechanic that I really haven't experiences elsewhere, music is on point, graphics are colorful, challenge mode is sweet, etc. 8/10 game right there, better than Epic Yarn.

I'd imagine the only reason the game exists is because it reuses so many assets and the engine from TD and could make a good return on investment.
I'd rather take a good, low budget Kirby game over a lot of alternatives.

Mass Attack was a lot of fun at points, but corralling your Kirbys to go for medals could be frustrating, and some levels were a slog. It felt too long to me, but I think that's because levels could drag sometimes.
Kirby TD sold very well on 3DS, especially in Japan, not a surprise that they would want to get another out on the 3DS when it's performing much better in JP than the Wii U is.

And the DS had like 4 Kirby games.
Kirby TD sold almost as much as both Wii games combined during launch, and both of those were on the Wii which sold pretty well. Portable just seems to get better sales for Korby

Because the 3DS base is 5-6x larger than the Wii U, and Kirby will sell more copies on 3DS as a result. They used the same engine as Triple Deluxe, so development costs were likely low, and they'll make a good profit by releasing it on 3DS. Pretty smart business decision.
