Kirby 3ds is awesome. best handheld platformer this year

Kirby tends to get overlooked amongst nintendo's other platformers but Triple Deluxe is fun as hell. Sure it's easy and short but there's alot of replayability in beating the other game modes and combing the levels for secrets.

Also the true arena is hard as balls

Blog it, sheep.

So I hear. It looks nice too, but still, I will not buy it on principle, because lolKirby.

Yeah never was a fan, or just always found the character rather bland. However, I do think that the title of this game is one of the best titles in a really long while. TRIPLE......DELUXE.

Also this is probably the best retail handheld platformer this year.

There I made it system wars related

Edit the OP and put it in the topic title, otherwise I'm gonna lock this thread.

Thank you for cooperating, TC.

I will cease locking protocol measures.

That's the thing about Nintendo games. They are really well designed, but incredibly easy. That's why I really don't think too highly of the 3ds.

@SolidGame_basic: contrary to popular belief a game doesn't have to be hard in order to be good

Amazing game. Idiots ignoring Kirby for being Kirby are missing out.

lolchaztaste.

@darkspineslayer: Actually if you are playing this game you're missing out, cause you could be playing something better.

@amazonangry: Stay salty. I would be too if I were stuck with trash like Dragon's Crown.

lol Look at the under 500 alt troll.

Like every Kirby game. I do enjoy them but they'll never be more than "Good" to me, unless they have more content and/or challenge. I actually think I use them as a "palate cleanser" kind of game, between bigger and better games.

They just don't compare well to Mario or Donkey Kong.

@darkspineslayer: dragons crown has a , higher Metacritic score than kirby td. :-\

I enjoyed return to Dreamland on the Wii, so I will get Triple Deluxe sometime down the road.

Look at this butthurt lem-bot.

Kirby > Gaylo.

Your move.

@locopatho: except triple deluxe does have alot of content. Going through the main game is short but theres game modes that unlock afterwards that give it alot of replay value

True Arena has always been hard as balls.

Got Kirby's Dream Collection for Wii. Some really great games, especially Kirby's Adventure. I need to get more Kirby games.

Whoops, forgot to hit respond earlier.

Anyways, as I wrote, GT's review of it made out look pretty good, so I'll definitely get it down the line.

To make it more System Wars like, no 3DS game, let alone platformer, comes close to Tearaway, ironically not even from the house of platformers behind it.

I'll check it out when the price drops. I love Kirby games but hate how they are always so short.

I'm loving it so far. What other game out there gives you the ability to inhale and swallow an entire train?

I might get it later, I just got Mario Golf.

Gamers don't don't usually care about games with Large Skill Gaps (Easy to learn... Impossible to Master) and generally aren't fans of Short games.

I wana try it though.

I wish I cared about Kirby. I know, then why did I reply? Slow day?

Yeah it looks great. I'm still uncertain if I should get it, though. Kirby games sure are easy..

@cainetao11

I think you're surpressing Latent Kirbysexual feelings and every now and then it escapes in the form of random posts...... You gotta come out the closet... I won't judge you... ;)

@Litchie

I haven't played Kirby but games have evolved....

Back in the day there was barely a difference between beating a game and mastering it because the skill floor (learning enough to play effectively) was extremely high. Now we have lower skill floors but the skilling ceiling (mastering) is still at the same level its always been the difference between the two is the Skill Gap. This is the difference between Easy and Accessable.

The reason people think they've gotten easier is because the are far more interested in the destination than in the Journey, so they plan their route accordingly, avoiding any other feature of a game regardless of whether its fun/challenging or not. Gaming is a Process... Not a result. This is why Multiplayer Focused games like Titanfall and Super Smash Brothers continued to be played, people think its Repetitive.... And it is... But its not the bad kinda of repetition... Afterall, repetition is how humans learn and understand.

Eh. I dunno. They sound a bit "fluffy". I'm sure it's good but I think Mario and Donkey Kong are Nintendo's awesome platformers, with Kirby, Yoshi and Wario trailing a good bit behind.

@locopatho: I never said kirby was better than mario or DK, I just said that it tends to be overlooked.

Apparently they want to make a 3D kirby game next, I would like to see that.

@Lulu_Lulu:

LOL OH Kirbry!!! Our love is finally free!!!!!!!

@cainetao11

LOL ! You're funny and Scary.... I don't know whether to laugh or shriek away in fear.

It's been so long since I bought a Kirby game. I want to buy this, just not for full price.

Is there another handheld platformer this year ?

There is the Sly collection on Vita but that's a re-release.

I played my first kirby on the NES and I hated it. I couldn't get past the fact he was pink. It was my sisters game. I got triple deluxe and I think it's fun as hell. I've been missing out all these years I gotta go back and get more kirby games.

@Lulu_Lulu:

@R4gn4r0k: I'm trying to wonder if there's any other handheld platformer indeed.

If we count The Swapper than LOLKIRBY because The Swapper is fantastic.

The Swapper is coming to Vita ?

Vita is getting so much indie love. If only Sony would give the Vita even half that love...

@R4gn4r0k: Yeah, I'm tempted to rebuy it and Fez for it down the line because they're both awesome.

Knowing PS+ sales, I probably will somehow.

I've rebought some games on Vita that I already had on PC. Most of those were on sale on both systems so it's not like I spend more than the original price and I got two versions :p

Still have to play Fez and the Swapper on PC though, I'll have to try them out first before considering a portable version.

I was considering buying Child of Light on PC, but then they announced the Vita version. Colorful games and OLED go hand in hand ... hmmm

@R4gn4r0k: PLAY THE SWAPPER

Yup fair enough, I was just saying I think there's a reason for that. Will play it one day though :3

I was going to play it when I bought it in the Humble Bundle some 4 months ago... and I still haven't :(

I'd get it for $20 but I never see nintendo games going down that low in price, when does nintendo ever put sales on their games? Even old DS games are still like $40 where I live.

Truly the highest of honors.

Being the best handheld platformer this year.
