So this is what that fabled Kirby game I was hoping for ever since the Gamecube has become. I do like that the other characters are not just Kirby clones...I just wonder what else Waddle Dee can do, since Meta Knight and King Dedede already have an arsenal of techniques available.

Wasn't 80-hours and as hard as Ninja Gaiden so it sucked

Looks great. Epic Yarn was nice but I've been waiting for this for a long time.

I don't need a game to brutally hard, but I do need it to be engaging enough that I don't die from boredom. Epic Yarn is boring; it's as simple as that.

The true sequel to Kirby 64 appears?! I'm excited. Looks soo much better than Epic Yarn. I really wish they'd bring back combining powers though... Kirby 64's power mechanics were easily the best of any Kirby game. Also, this is kind of random, but I'm disappointed there aren't any female characters.

More like the true sequel to super-star. As you said, no mixing, and ACTUAL MULTIPLAYER. K64 suffered after the glory that was Super Star Mp

Been waiting for this. Epic Yarn was fun, but I never lost sight of the one game that was teased back in 05 or whatever. And I'll gladly cop that Mario Party 9 too. It's been a minute.

It's like the Nintendo version of Duke Nukem Forever. I sort of don't want to buy this (Kirby DS looks more interesting) but having it in my hands would be pretty amazing as it is (relatively speaking).

My thoughts exactly. I loved Kirby 64 and the combining of powers. Funny how this game was originally apart of the GCN's swan song with Twilight Princess and now will be the Wii's swan song along with Skyward Sword.

IGN hands on impression. They say by pressing different button combinations we activate different abilities. Kinda confused but sounds interesting. Also sounds like the IGN writer hasn't played many Kirby games.

They're just saying that each ability has an entire moveset, like Super Star.

Epic Yarn was shit in my honest opinion. Didn't feel like a Kirby game, was too easy, and too slow. The graphics were great but goddamn it was boring as hell for me. Then again, Kirby was shoved in at the last minute and it wasn't made by HAL.

This looks like a true successor to Kirby Super Star (always felt 64 was closer to Dreamland 3 than KSS), and I'm expecting great things. Super Star was fun, fast and absolutely furious fun all the way through - and this looks just that.

I've been waiting for this game forever, gosh it looks so hot, bright and colorful.
Is it just me or does this look way better than NSMBWii DKCR?

I always thought Epic Yarn should've been a Yoshi game.

i only just realised the kirby is like rouge from x-men, but instead of simply touching someone to absorb their powers kirby eats them.

Is this really the same Kirby game announced for the Gamecube way back in 2004?
Click to expand...
We don't know, but if it isn't it's another game with similar 2.5d graphics and gameplay... who knows what happened in between. It does seem hard to imagine this oen game in continuous development ever since then, I would guess it was halted for a while and then resumed or something... but we have no idea. Whatever the case though, this game sure looks a lot like it, whether it's the same game or something else made to be like that unfortunately never released title.

Either way, I'm definitely looking forward to this game! It's been far too long...

Yeah, they probably haven't been working on this since 2004. Probably on again off again development. I'm willing to bet they might have even scraped all their original work and restarted the project at least once.

Assuming they won't keep the Wii going after Wii U comes out (they are obviously aimed at opposite markets (Wii = many, U = one), then Skyward Sword would be the sendoff, just like Twilight Princess with Gamecube.

I don't give a hoot.
Stop glutting us (EDIT: me) with franchise crap NOA and give Wii owners some fresh experiences.
Where's Xenoblade, Last Story, Pandora's Tower (Reginleiv, Disaster)
I, for one, will not be financially supporting this kind of thing anymore.

So you are done playing Nintendo's main franchises from here on out?

Looks great, it has a nice style too even if it doesn't come close to Epic Yarn. I hope it can be challenging despite 4 players joining.

So it's essentially a beefed out Super Star?

Why are people even asking for releases that are actually bad (Reinglev) or subpar (Disaster)?

I really love the look of this, it looks to be a lot of fun. Kinda wish that the co-op players could choose their powers too though.

Awesome, better be more copy abilities though, something at least comparable to KSS, though nothing will come close to the awesome copy mixing in K64. Most fun part of that game was finding out what Fire and Ice would mix into. And it's the only video game to date featuring a ballistic fridge powerup.

I can't say that since I'm absolutely getting Skyward Sword otherwise my Wii is a doorstop.
However, I can't help but reflect on the fact that the Wii is dead and there were very few truly memorable games for it.
I can't say that about the N64 or the Gamecube which is kind of startling when I compare their sales to that of the Wii.
So the enthusiasm of my support is at an all time low and I will be quite happy to pass on any of their quick franchise cash-ins.
Especially when the very profitable NOA pinches pennies to such an extent that it can't publish any games for the core audience that will require a bit of localization work.
My wallet is the only vote I get...have to use it.

To say that I don't give a hoot.
You can read right?

Yeah, I don't especially want those which is why I had them in parenthesis.
But they are further evidence of a terrible localization record for INTERNALLY developed titles that are not cutesy and franchise based.
Maybe the only reason we got S&P 2 is because the previous version was released on VC and thus had some exposure already.

Anyway, I'm done.
Kirby can go eat a Reggie.

I really hope this game has the replayability of Kirby 64, all the different combinations made running through the levels again fun.

Man, I would buy ten copies of a Kirby game that brought back the ability mixing of 64. To this day it's still probably my favorite Kirby game.

Why can't you? What's the difference? And why does it's sales matter?

Why is this a quick franchise cash-in? How is this a quick franchise cash-in?

Nintendo of America sucks, but is irrelevant to your discussion.
