Nintendo released two new Kirby games for download in the Nintendo eShop today. Dedede’s Drum Dash Deluxe has players bouncing Kirby character Dedede to the beat across seven stages, while Kirby Fighters Deluxe has players using different copy abilities to defeat arena opponents across five new stages, along with a new team battle feature. Both of these games were originally available...
Years ago, before the dawning of the Internet, video game companies could get away with covering up a video game’s Japanese roots with ridiculous and trashy 80s fantasy inspired art sprawled across the box’s cover art. However, even more so than the rage inducing Mega Man box art, one of the most ridiculous and hilarious video gaming controversies the Internet has blown wide open is...
The crux of the Kirby series is that it simply peaked too early. While it wasn’t the first game in Nintendo and HAL’s popular series, Kirby’s Adventure was the first a lot of people played, and it is coming up on being 20 years old. After all this time, it still plays like the same timeless masterpiece that, quite frankly, makes every game that came after come up short by comparison.
Kirby: Triple Deluxe, the newest effort in the Kirby line, is bound for the Nintendo 3DS on May 2nd. It actually releases the same day as Mario Golf: World Tour. We're working on reviews for both games. Nintendo sent over the codes at the exact same time, in the same email. I took Mario Golf (which is good, by the way), and Ron took Kirby. As much fun as I'm having with Mario Golf:...
If you’ve followed Nintendo and Kirby in even a passing fashion, you might already know that Nintendo of Japan and Nintendo of America treat the pink puff differently. In Japan, Kirby doesn’t normally have eyebrows on his video game covers…until Triple Deluxe, anyways. In America? Not only are the brows present, they’re angry. Here are the Japanese and American versions of Kirby Air...
I don’t know if you know this about Kirby, but the dude has a lot of powers. I mean, a lot of powers. Well, all Kirby fans of course know that, but in his upcoming Kirby: Triple Deluxe, HAL Laboratory has gifted him more techniques and abilities than ever before! Granted, I am not totally up to speed on Kirby, having missed the last few like Kirby’s Return to Dreamland, but a new...
Who says pink is just for girls? Nintendo’s ever lovable puffball Kirby is due for a new release on May 2, and along with his game comes a fun 2DS bundle which is aiming at taking pink back! Not only can you buy Kirby: Triple Deluxe for the Nintendo 3DS on May 2, but you can also snag it together with a shiny new pink and white 2DS! It’s not half as awesome as the Luigi 2DS model, but...
This is a great time to be a gamer. We have brand new consoles from Sony and Microsoft on the cusp of showing us some great stuff, while Nintendo’s system has matured and is starting to show us what it can do. Nintendo and Sony both have great handhelds, and I haven’t even mentioned PC gaming yet. In our Most Anticipated series, we’ll be looking at each of the platforms one by one,...
Step aside Mario, a new 2D platforming Nintendo mascot is in town. Kirby: Triple Deluxe for the Nintendo 3DS is a bonafide hit in Japan, topping the sales charts one week after its release. In total, the game has shipped 214,208 units, more than quadrupling its second place rival. Kirby: Triple Deluxe is already shaping up to be one of the puffball’s best games since the NES classic, ...
Nintendo’s outlandish advertising for Kirby: Triple Deluxe continues in Japan. His new commercial proudly labels the pink puffball as a “BIG MAN!” Along with a handful of new powers, like an archery skill and juggling skill, Kirby’s inhaling ability now allows him to huff, puff, and blow his way through gargantuan obstacles. Trees don’t stand a chance, giants snakes become helpless...
