To look at this game one way, it’s just the NES game “Kirby’s Adventure” on the 3DS. To look at this another way, it’s OH YES! “KIRBY’S ADVENTURE”! NEEEED! Yes, I have played it many times. And yes, I have completed it almost as many times. And yes, this is just that game again. But! It’s in 3D! Of course, it’s not in proper 3D. It’s just the fore- and background layers have been peeled in and out, so the …
Well yeah y’see I actually completed this a while ago, and not today. Because today I played it to complete what I thought was the final game mode I’d unlocked, only to find that I’d not just played that mode already, but completed it as well. So it was a somewhat short play session consisting of a quick load of each mode just to make sure I’d done them all, and I had. So, er, hurrah! Then I played Kirby …
I’ve not posted in a while, aside from to mention Yakuza 3 and Old World Blues, but I have still been playing games. Here’s a round-up of what’s been going down over the last few weeks: Professor Layton and the Lost Future (DS) I actually completed this at the start of the year, but as I did with the previous two games once the story was done I left the remaining puzzles until near the release of the following game. …
This was pretty much forced upon me. I mean, I like Kirby. Especially Kirby’s Adventure for the NES. But playing it wasn’t really my choice. I was made to by my two year old daughter. “Daddy, play Kirby” she said. She likes it when I play Kirby because she likes to point out all the doors you have to go through, and find the ‘martoes for me. I played some last weekend, and the rest this weekend, completing it today. …
Another short Game Boy game! From buying to completing, took me 32 minutes. Yes, it was short and easy. But oh so lovely! Many people forget that the Kirby’s trademark ability-copying “power” wasn’t actually in this, his first game. In fact, he has very few moves – he can’t run, slide or squirt water when swimming. In a way, it feels like a cut-down port of the NES game, which of course it isn’t. Anyway, I enjoyed it, and I’ve …
The is the game I’ve been playing most since completing InFamous, and today I completed it. It wasn’t especially short, but it was very easy. I don’t think it’s even possible to die – I certainly didn’t, and even falling off the bottom of the screen or losing all your beads doesn’t kill you, so I doubt you can. That doesn’t mean it was bad though. I loved it! The art style is amazing, the levels bright and varied with …
Hey – no-one told me this was on the Wii’s VC. Why not? Stuff that Paper Mario (because I can’t bring myself to start it when I still have other, unfinished, ongoing games), Kirby Golf FTW! So I downloaded it, and spent almost two hours playing it with my wife, across two courses. And it’s ace.
I’ve now done all the secret levels (I think!) and have all the treasure on 4 of the 8 worlds. I’ve completed one of the jigsaws, and something odd happened when I completed the Ghost Medal in the collection – loads of ghost came out and one went into each world. What do I do now? Find them? Kill them? Collect them? Do nothing? QUESTIONS!
Didn’t play this for very long today, just to get some more treasure chests and to try and find the three secret levels I’m missing. Managed to find one secret level, and a few chests, taking my total to about 86/120.
What? Already? Yes indeed. I thought there was at least another world after 8, but no. And World 8 was somewhat shorter than previous ones too. The final boss battle was quite hard, until – yes – I got a Tornado power-up, and then after that there was another boss. I sort of expected it, as it seems to be the norm with Kirby games. You even get a weapon not unlike the Star Rod from Kirby’s Adventure. I seem …
I’m well en-route to finishing this quite soon now. I ripped through levels 4 to 7 in double-quick time, although I did miss out on finding one secret level (and I haven’t got all the chests in every level yet either). I’ve died maybe 5 times now, mostly on bosses. The trick (as always with Kirby) for bosses is having the right power-up when you get to them. So I’m on Level 8 now, which I thought was going to …
Only a short session on this today, but I did play for long enough to complete all of the rest of World 3 (including a secret level). I died for the first time too – on the end of world boss. En-route to him, you get two power-ups: fire and tornado. Based on my death, I would suggest you use the latter rather than the former. Cleared two levels of Jam Jungle then too, which is World 4. Looks like …
Sssh! Don’t tell anyone, but I’ve started a new game even though I haven’t finished Excite Truck, Contact or Military Madness yet! It’s a secret to everybody! It’s a proper Kirby game this time around. Not that Canvas Curse thing, which was good but not “right”. This, however, is right in everything. It differs from other Kirby games in two main ways: firstly, you can store up to five power-ups for later use (although the treasure you need to collect …
Well, it was actually several sessions play today, rather than just one long go, but I reached the end, defeated Dedede, and then beat Nightmare. Hurrah! I noticed that the last level (the one in black and white) was actually some sort of medley of the levels from the original Game Boy Kirby game. I’d never realised that before. I just thought it was black and white for some sort of arty reason. It explains why you don’t get any …
Ran through all of Ice Cream Island and Butter Building, and I’m now onto the third level of Grape Garden. There’s been nothing too taxing so far, and I’ve found all of the hidden areas (all two of them) so far as well. I’m 35% complete, according to my save game file.
