[DS] Kirby Super Star 2?

So yeah, at that Nintendo Fall Conference thing some pictures magic'd themselves into being.




Looks pretty much like Kirby Super Star. Looks almost like they're going for a Nightmare in Dreamland remake approach and while that isn't terrible when you just look at it that way it could be worse than you think.

Do you suppose they'll ever release Mario All Stars on the Virtual Console? Oh hell naw they won't that's lost revenue from Mario 1, 2, 3, and Lost World sales. Not gonna happen. So, they're coming out with what is pretty much a remake of Kirby Super Star. 7 bucks for the original on Virtual Console or a 30 dollar remake on DS. DS needs to print more money and so the original for Virtual Console bites the dust. That's only a possibility and one if it is a remake and if Nintendo decides to be a giant dick.

So let's pretend it's a sequel ala Yoshi's Island 2 and hopefully for the love of God not developed by Artoon. In that case WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY WASTING TIME ON ANOTHER KIRBY HANDHELD (although the blueprints it holds are quite amazing and hey more Kirby should be good) WHEN WE HAVEN'T HAD A CONSOLE KIRBY PLATFORMER SINCE KIRBY 64?!!! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THAT GAMECUBE KIRBY GAME!?!?!<!>


So right, discuss this new game here and angst on why there hasn't been a console Kirby platformer IN YEARS.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Grail, the Cube game was a 3d sidescroller akin to Kirby 64 but had player controlled buddies for up to 4 players co-op. It practically sold itself on that alone to folks who missed awesome co-op from Super Star.

Air Ride's 3D platforming was fine for what it was and I wouldn't say no to a 3D Kirby but the series does work best as a sidescroller. I'll be glad if HAL can prove me wrong one day.

I'm not denying that it'll be a good game, Xardion. I'm talking about the ramifications for the original Super Star and the fact that we haven't heard about the Kirby console platformer in years and that angers me. It looked so good.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Kirby Air Ride didn't cause him to leave. He wanted to make new stuff and a sequel to Super Smash Bros. Melee and Nintendo/HAL wouldn't let him, so he simply left so he could do what he wanted. Kirby was in fairly capable hands at HAL and there was no news of a new Smash Bros so everything probably seemed in good order to him.

The Cube Kirby platformer was being worked on after he left and I don't think he had all that much involvement with it. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure he didn't want to work on Kirby sequels that much anymore and left it to other folks at that point besides Air Ride which was something new for him as you can see all his wonderful touches all over it.

His last real Kirby platformer more than likely was Super Star or Dreamland 3 (I can't remember which came out last - I'm thinking Dreamland 3).

Also, Air Ride was awesome if you delved deep enough into it. Quite a refined game that amazingly only used one button. Way ahead of his time. The game would be PERFECT for Wii (plus some online play would be freaking sweet).

How ya doing, buddy?

Oh ditto, I mean it's KSS - it'd be a sin if you didn't. Doesn't mean I'm happy about lack of news of the console Kirby platformer or the possibility of the original for VC being canned because it might reduce sales of this remake.

U.F.O. sucks because it's easy to lose and you don't keep it after the level. There were a ton of awesome original abilities in KSS that were just continually amazing as you learned more on how to use them.

I'd love a new Kirby as original as Canvas Curse as well though.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It's too bad there's a huge freaking map on the touch screen but they might have an interactive layer that allows for that blindly like Star Fox DS and Metroid Prime Hunters.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'm actually pretty sure that Kirby does not have an actual sex much like most Pokemon. However Kirby is referred to as male. He just loves everyone, but whatever you do, do not take his cake. American Kirby does not forgive.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Huh, they do? I thought it was the opposite with only a few actually have male and female versions. Odd. At least I'm positive it was that way for the first set used in red, blue, and green.

FELIPE NO

I dunno, the game was speedy enough as is and had an amazing 60 fps and was drop-dead gorgeous. I still stand by that it would be superb as a Wii game. I'd totally buy it again.

Most amazing jew boots

Lukage, we don't use no$gba to play ds games. We use it to test the roms for rickrolls.

Also, that save file error thing can be fixed if you'd just go into emulation options and tinker about.

I'm really enjoying this game so far. Revenge of the King is hilariously creepy. BEERCOWS ARE NOW TIGERCOWS. ENJOY NOT HAVING A FACE, KIRBY! OM NOM NOM

I'll have to go pick up this game the next time I'm out shopping.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
