Ah, so like most Kirby games? ;P
Still excited for it either way.

Considering we are talking KIRBY games .. I expected waaaaaaaaay more.

Like Triple Deluxe where Kirby gets PISSED OF and

or something like Kirby 64 where the final boss gives any sane person nightmares

Yup, pretty much, the ending was pretty standard kirby stuff

and not the most epic in the series even.

Also im so sick of people calling everything with a

[Bulzeeb]

if anything Kirby is one of the most (if not the most) OP characters in the Nintendo Universe, he usually saves entire galaxies and fights some really dark/crazy/nightmare fuel things from time to time, always behind the disguise of being cute as fuck.

Gurren Lagann.

Like I don't know how you could deny it - it's practically the final attack from the TV show.

But the real question is:can it top The Wonderful 101 ending?

Kirby's good, but nothing can beat the (from Wonderful 101 ending)

That was...rather lackluster. I was expecting Gurren Lagann and that's not at all what I got.

Kirby was always an epic hero, in my heart <3
Really hyped to see that ending myself.

All of that power in the hands of an idiot. There's a reason Meta-Knight and Dedede don't usually go to him for help.

When you think about, Kirby fits pretty much an eldritch abomination that can be summoned to do things like every other evil demon

Is it snake in smash? It must connect to smash bros somehow.

Jaw pls

 

[Jintor]

doesn't kirby end up fighting like an unholy otherworldly eldritch abombination in like every game

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

Breh in Dreamland 2 you follow a monster made of and called Dark Matter and cut him to pieces with a sword made of rainbow shards.

That's epic as shit

and now he's back for revenge.

I enjoy my romps though the games, but the real meat is actually the boss battles. Everything up until you unlock the boss rush arenas are basically filler.

But I definitely don't blame you if you can't get to that point. The actual levels are just beat 'em up lite.

I often wonder if this is why Kirby Super Star was so good — the miniature games provided twists to the gameplay, so the fun platforming and combat doesn't become monotonous.

Man, that's so true. These games have a reputation for being easy baby games, but they always end up having great post game content with fantastic boss rush modes. I love games that have such a wide range of challenge.

This reminds me to play some more of Kirby Superstar DS!

Epic final bosses are par for the course with Kirby, but seeing

makes me feel bad about neglecting Kirby games for the past few years (it's not for a lack of interest!) because these posts about the recent games digging into the lore and universe-building is something I would be eating up. I wonder if they're ever going to follow up on the implications of Shiver Star from Kirby 64 or if that's going to remain a nod and a wink.

Holy Shit!

He actually did "Giga Drill Breaker!" as a finisher! As absorbing the Halberd to go Star Fox wasn't enough!
