I hate when editors randomly don't render clips. I had an entire video not render once. Turns out there are quick render modes that are buggy and you are better disabling them unless you are rerending after a small change
Planet Robobot's probably the best of the Modern Kirby trilogy. Return to Dream Land was a great comeback for fans wanting a traditional home console Kirby game ever since Crystal Shards. Co-Op was fun addition. The Super Abilities were fun, but felt like limited cutscenes. Triple Deluxe was a step-up from RTDL in terms of level designs, music, visuals, and the great use of puzzle solving for the Hypernova ability, but also felt limited. Planet Robobot takes it even further, outshining both RTDL and TD. An actual storyline, the mechanized setting adds in a lot of unique levels that even surpass TD, the Robobot Armor is a great balance between power and puzzle-solving, and is a truly great "gimmick" that even surpasses the Super and Hypernova ability combined. And not to mention that the bosses and the final boss are really fun to fight. While the extra modes are short, but sweet, I believe Planet Robobot is a great addition to the amazing 3DS library.
I disagree with the argument of the "actual storyline" because it's basically Triple Deluxe's story with Robots, hell even the intro cutscene proves it.
I, the Nintendo fan True, but you *do* kinda get a difference of the story up to the boss fight in World 3 towards the final boss. There's a huge difference between TD's and PR's story if you actually look hard enough.
I, the Nintendo fan Plus, the cutscenes in PR ran on thr same engine that RTDL and TD had, so that's to be expected. But it's the presentation that made the similarities end. In RTDL, Kirby and co found an alien from another world crash landing into Pop Star, who lost the major parts of ship that scattered across the planet. They agreed to find all the parts to visit Magolor's home world in return. Then towards the end, he tricked Kirby and the others just to grab the source of umlimited power. In TD, Kirby's house and King Dedede's castle got entangled by a giant stalk overnight. Kirby entered his castle to find that Dedede was being kidnapped by Taranza. Towards the end, the reason Taranza kidnapped Dedede was because he thought Dedede was the hero of Pop Star, which he was clearly mistaken. In this game, Pop Star's been invaded by Haltmann Works Company. Both King Dedede and Meta Knight tried to defend the planet, but both ended up being blasted. Which lead to Kirby waking up, and seeing that his home land has been mechanized, and decideds to find and destroy the source. I won't spoil much, but the towards the end, the story is surprisingly darker than what Kirby games are usually known for.
That's...kind of true actually now that I think about it. There's never really a Kirby game that fans truly hate. Hell even Epic Yarn, despite the game playing nothing like a Kirby game, is pretty well respected in the fanbase while other big Nintendo franchises like Mario, Zelda & Pokemon, have certain games that fans truly hate. For instance a large number of Mario fans hates the NSMB games, half of the Zelda fanbase despise Skyward Sword, & a couple of Pokemon fans out there have a sour taste against Generation 4.
Meta Knight has two screen nukes in this game. Galaxia Darkness (the one in the video) does not clear the whole screen. The other one, called Meta-Knights call (they finally appear again after Super Star Ultra) clears the whole screen.
I'd say my favorite part of Planet Robobot (besides the return of *_him_* at the end of Meta Knightmare Returns) is the fact that _we actually have in-level enemies that aren't generic Waddle Dees._ Seriously, the Waddle Dees are cute, but seeing them tricked out with all this robot gear doesn't just make them look awesome, but also takes away from that certain feel they have that makes me not want to bash them around.
The ending of this game is unlike any of the other kirby endings, I'm serious it left my jaw wide open. LISTEN TO ME, this is the best 3ds game made up to date. Seriously the graphics and story make it one of the highest polished and perfected 3ds games EVER. Buy it, if you dont have money, sell your soul for it, I promise it's worth it
If I recall, this isn't the first time the Meta Knight mode has let you use special abilities. I think the first time it happened was... Kirby Super Star Ultra for the DS?
Have you ever given the original Kirby's Dreamland a go on the GB? I wasn't really into Kirby for a long while either but that game, while short, was pretty hardcore (some tricks tossed in near the end of normal but Hard mode was great fun).
Skeith804 I have not. But I have played enough Kirby games to know that it just isn't my cup of tea. Of course I can't wright it off without playing it, I'm just predicting that I would see it as just "decent". But you never know.
I played THE HELL out of Kirby's Dream Land 3 and Kirby Super Star as a kid. I grew out of the series upon adulthood because I prefer a challenge within the primary gameplay, however I understand it's appeal to adults as I recently replayed Super Star with a friend and we had a lot of fun trying to 100% The Great Cave Offensive. I wouldn't buy a Kirby game these days, but I still find the series to be a pinnacle of game design for its purpose. If only for the sake of what it represents to the casual market _(namely, that they deserve quality),_ I do hope the series does not run itself into a monotonous rut as the 2D LoZ and the 2D Mario series have.
Let us all give Derrick a round of applause for another fantastic review! Even when you are sick, you still provide some of the best reviews on UA-cam!
7:49 Holly Hell it's the Great Diamond Authority! That's it, show's over. The resistance is canceled, if the Gems really want this planet then they'll either gut it or destroy it and it's hopeless to fight them. Just run and find somebody who can quarantine the star system.
...Do you really think the Homeworld could stand a chance against the likes of Kirby? No offense to the show (it's great but its fanbase can border on insufferable or rather sadistic at times), but the power level on display there is minimal compared to what the Kirby series showcases from a game to game basis...
Rodin Claus We've only ever seen fusions of 4 or 5 gems. Home-world is said to have "tons" of soldiers which means a lot considering the only part of their body with consistent mass is their gem stones which have very little mass. They also have the incredible tactical advantage of their soldiers not requiring sleep, food, heat, air or pressure and can reform after being defeated Also Lapis was able to use hydro-kinesis to shape an entire ocean into a pillar whilst also controlling 4 powerful water-clones.
Angel Samael I fail to see how that would save them if they're devoured by Kirby. Take out their projections, consume their physical gems, and replicate their inherent powers. Rinse and repeat until the Diamond's are gone or wisely decide to turn tail, and THEN they face the possibility of Meta Knight or Kirby himself hunting them down further. I'm not QUITE as up to date (I know the major plot that's happened so far) but unless Steven Universe has gotten into elements of warping space-time, or dealt with stuff akin to Zero and Dark Matter, or ANYTHING with the Clockwork Stars or Galacta Knight, I still say Kirby is on a higher threshold of power.
Rodin Claus The gems have technology capable of teleportation and interstellar travel which implies space-time warping. They we able to re-shape most of the earth by moving most of Africa over to South America and made a giant hole in Russia. They planned to entirely hollow the planet out. The strength of the Gems is that every grunt enemy would be the equivalent of a mini-boss. Also keep in mind that Kirby can only have one power at a time.
Derreck should actualy do ALL the reviews on GameXplain. I feel like he is never influenced by personal taste or common oppinion and instead focuses on what the game wants to be and how it is ment to be enjoyed. Great review! Derreck for president!
I received this game from my brother as a belated Christmas gift on Friday January 4th, and I love this game. It's personally my favorite Kirby game in the series.
ha. i just got my hands on a copy of SSU to hold me till i can grab this. 2 days till release in north america. still need to wait till end of the month
Draculooloo Not really, I say that because there has been a trend of 'reinventing the wheel' with recent Nintendo games. They try to compete with early classics, but only feel passable.
Let's be honest, ever Kirby game is good. I don't know a single bad Kirby game. This game is definitely a must buy for me(heck I already have it pre ordered along with the amiibos)
+Yoda Soda 06 Kirby air ride was amazing. I still play it to this day. The game is soooooo much fun. I was so glad when they added a city tour like mode in smash bros(too bad it isn't as good)
Thank you for this Review Derrick! I am so excited for this game! And props to you for wanting to narrate this review, even when ill. It means a lot, because you love this game. Thank you, again!!
Adeline on the left arm of the Bot and Sailor Dee on the right! They're stickers, right? Either way, I love how they got those guys in another game somehow! :D
I like the game, and I absolutely love the Robot Armour.... but I liked Triple Deluxe better. I liked the bright organic feel of TD better than PRs mechanization, that although looking cool, also gets a little stale for me in places. I liked collecting keychains more than stickers, and I like the extra modes like Dedede's Drum Dash better. But as Derrick says, all a matter of preference.
I just got the game, and pretty much beat the main story mode, now I'm playing Meta Knight, and it's still just as fun, and Meta Knight feels powerful, also that final boss fight was just amazing in so many ways. As for the mini games, I'd like to see maybe a DX variant, kind of like what happened with Drum Dash, and Kirby Fighters, hopefully they would consider it, if not then no real loss to me, the game is great, and I love the collectables actually having some kind of use, rather then something nice to look at. Great Review.
"NOTE: Derrick is suffering from a cold and is still recovering his voice, but he really wanted to narrate the review himself." man that's dedication right there, get well soon Derrick. i didn't really need this review to convince myself to buy this game when it comes out cause i was already fully interested in the game (MegaKirby X, nuff said), that and i enjoyed Triple Deluxe (1st Kirby game i've ever beaten, not 100% mind you but whatever, lol).
Every time I play this game, I feel like a 5 year-old playing a Mario game. HOLY SHIT. The new copy abilities, the mech suits, the graphics, OH! So fucking good. I personally think it's miles ahead of Return to Dreamland, even Triple Deluxe. And I'm on the second world!
*SPOILERS* did anyone else tear up when the robobot sacrificed itself for kirby and cried? that was the saddest thing I've ever seen apart from when i look in the mirror
I knew this game was gonna be great! The soundtrack alone sold me on it, and I'm getting this Day 1 alongside a few of the Amiibo's. (I can finally get a Dedede Amiibo because the Smash Bros one is really frickin' rare...)
I finally buckled down and beat The True Arena and I have to say is the Hardest Kirby boss rush that I have played. I get Star Allies in two days, I hope it is good.
I like Triple Deluxe more because it's more in line with my idea of a classic Kirby game (i.e. Nightmare in Dreamland) and I love playing as Dedede but Robobot is probably the better game objectively
my next purchase...cant wait till end of the month! plan to 100% triple deluxe. but got side-tracked with superstar ultra, and squeak squad though. :->
Man, great review! I was looking forward to this game for quite a while now and I was already planning on getting it as soon as I could. But now, I actually want to pre-order this to make SURE I get this game with my GameStop gift card!
I agree with a lot of that, though one problem I had was that the levels were pretty short and super easy. I beat story mode in less than 24 hours of gameplay, and about 24 hours real time of getting the game. Also on most of the levels, I got all of the code cubes first try, so I never had to do a lot of backtracking
This game seems really polished even though its still so simple. I would like them to take some more chances with the kirby franchise as far as adding new enemies and making it more challenging. I know kirby has always been the easy platformer. This game has nice music and after playing the demo I was pleasantly surprised that I really enjoyed it even though I didn't finish the first kirby game on 3ds.
Overwatch has too much hype, but then again so did Splatoon and I know people must have been annoyed how everyone was hyped up for a unfinished game, or saying it looks all Nickelodeon and trash,etc.
RemixerUltimate I blame the marketing is the reason I didn't care for Overwatch. Think of the Ghostbusters Trailer except if I saw the movie and it turned out to be good then I blame whoever had to edit the scenes to make the trailer.
+EeveeParty97 I thought the Overwatch trailers were done really well, especially the Widow and Dragons trailers. I have to admit that the first trailer didn't really catch my attention, but god damn, that gameplay. It's a refreshing game that feels great, which is hard to find in the sea of "wait over here for a few seconds and you'll regenerate your sniper shot to the chest" that is usually applied to multiplayer shooters.
I said this on Twitter, but it's too Early for a Review of this game to go up. A Good Time as usual like the other games that've been reviewed would've been less than a week before the release.
I don't see why. Games with a heavy single player focus should be open for review as quickly as possible in order to convince lingering stragglers if it's ultimately worth it or not. Reviews that are embargoed until near release (or worse, at release or after) are usually a forboding sign that things might not be as peachy as they want you to think. But when it comes to releasing reviews weeks beforehand? It shows that there's a LOT of confidence in the project.
If this is better than Triple Deluxe, then I'm gonna HAVE to play this! I LOVED Triple Deluxe, and it's not only my favorite Kirby game, but also my favorite platformer!
I got to play a demo of it at GameStop today, and while it still had the classic Kirby formula, I found myself having real fun with it. It is a nice game, and I am glad I pre-ordered this already! I can't wait until June 10th to get my own copy plus my King Dedede Amiibo! :)
Re-uploaded to fix the dead air during the original. Sorry about that everyone!
Came back for completion, just to watch that clip. Very fast turnaround on that fix, well done!
That's ok. I really love it when people fix their videos.
Sup daddy
I hate when editors randomly don't render clips. I had an entire video not render once.
Turns out there are quick render modes that are buggy and you are better disabling them unless you are rerending after a small change
Sorry that you are sick. Get well soon. jessegart.blogspot.com/
Kirby's mech suit beating those enemies reminds me of my dad beating me.
You should play this game so you can be just like your dad.
Was he pink and round?
and in a mech suit?
Jesus lol
Seam
Man, HUGE shoutout to Derrick for recording this while sick, we love you dude :)
Best of the best
He really has dedication working on the Pokemon analysis for 10 hours
I know right?
Thanks Derrick! I think I will love this even more than Triple Deluxe as well.
It sounds amazing!
I agree with you, someone who take a big deal in their video desired so praises.
same here
Wow this review was really convincing. I ro-bought this game already.
I am proud of you for making that pun
That's some Andre level pun right there.
The most metal pun of all time.
Alright, that was pretty good.
uuuuuuuuugh...alright, i'll give you that one.
Planet Robobot's probably the best of the Modern Kirby trilogy.
Return to Dream Land was a great comeback for fans wanting a traditional home console Kirby game ever since Crystal Shards. Co-Op was fun addition. The Super Abilities were fun, but felt like limited cutscenes.

There's a huge difference between TD's and PR's story if you actually look hard enough.
Pit ピット I guess...

Too be fair, there IS a fair bit of water in this game, so there is actual logic for a bad IGN review.
LOL
IGN: Here at IGN, we present you, our horrible sequel review that started the popular meme 7.8/10 , Kirby Planet Robobot!
Funny that you should mention that.
m.ign.com/articles/2016/05/27/kirby-planet-robobot-review
Pit ピット At least they had the balls to not pull out a 7.8/10.
I, the Nintendo fan No, I think they might be saving that for Sun & Moon. XD
Derrick, you feeling alright? Rest up your voice, man!
Great review though. I was already planning to get this game, but now i'm drooling over it.
He's been sick this past week, but he's been pushing through to get the review done
Kirby - The only Nintendo series that doesn't have an objectively bad game
HAL should co-produce some other Nintendo games sometime, then we wouldn't get another Amiibo Festival or Ultra Smash :P
But what about Punch Out, Golden Sun, Xeno, and Donkey Kong though?
Actually objectively bad games don't exist
***** That's not true.
That's...kind of true actually now that I think about it. There's never really a Kirby game that fans truly hate. Hell even Epic Yarn, despite the game playing nothing like a Kirby game, is pretty well respected in the fanbase while other big Nintendo franchises like Mario, Zelda & Pokemon, have certain games that fans truly hate. For instance a large number of Mario fans hates the NSMB games, half of the Zelda fanbase despise Skyward Sword, & a couple of Pokemon fans out there have a sour taste against Generation 4.
Huh, looks like one of Meta Knight's screen clearing attacks is his Final Smash 7:41
Yup! Seems to have replaced the screen-clearing Mach Tornado from Super Star Ultra...
it is, one of the moves on the bottom screen they showed was called "galaxia darkness", which is his final smash.
that's because it is....
Meta Knight has two screen nukes in this game. Galaxia Darkness (the one in the video) does not clear the whole screen. The other one, called Meta-Knights call (they finally appear again after Super Star Ultra) clears the whole screen.
I'd say my favorite part of Planet Robobot (besides the return of *_him_* at the end of Meta Knightmare Returns) is the fact that _we actually have in-level enemies that aren't generic Waddle Dees._ Seriously, the Waddle Dees are cute, but seeing them tricked out with all this robot gear doesn't just make them look awesome, but also takes away from that certain feel they have that makes me not want to bash them around.
He Who Says Truths it's not the same nova
The ending of this game is unlike any of the other kirby endings, I'm serious it left my jaw wide open. LISTEN TO ME, this is the best 3ds game made up to date. Seriously the graphics and story make it one of the highest polished and perfected 3ds games EVER. Buy it, if you dont have money, sell your soul for it, I promise it's worth it
What if I don't have a soul to sell 🤔
Kirby is Gurren Laguann confirmed
@Neil N just homebrew ur console
Derrick's "sick voice" actually makes him sound pretty badass :D
Wish we could get a Kirby game like this on Switch
It’s out! And it’s a 3D platformer! 😍😍😍
Feel better, Derrick! That was a solid review. Can't wait for this game!
If I recall, this isn't the first time the Meta Knight mode has let you use special abilities. I think the first time it happened was... Kirby Super Star Ultra for the DS?
I've never been a fan of the Kirby franchise and this won't be the game to change my mind. However, I'm happy for all you Kirby fans.
thank you for not being rude to people who enjoy the franchise, most people on the internet won't let people have opinions
damn right I am and that's what matters to me
Have you ever given the original Kirby's Dreamland a go on the GB? I wasn't really into Kirby for a long while either but that game, while short, was pretty hardcore (some tricks tossed in near the end of normal but Hard mode was great fun).
Skeith804 I have not. But I have played enough Kirby games to know that it just isn't my cup of tea. Of course I can't wright it off without playing it, I'm just predicting that I would see it as just "decent". But you never know.

I wouldn't buy a Kirby game these days, but I still find the series to be a pinnacle of game design for its purpose. If only for the sake of what it represents to the casual market _(namely, that they deserve quality),_ I do hope the series does not run itself into a monotonous rut as the 2D LoZ and the 2D Mario series have.
IGN is gonna give this a shitty score for some stupid reason. I'm pumped for this game
IGN has been dishing out low-scored clickbait reviews since 2005
Heck, IGN gave triple deluxe a lower rating then Return to Dreamland. WHY???
+Dr. RobloxLOL123 cod will get 10/10 gr8 b8
IGN: 6.9/10 - "Too much metal" or "Too easy"
They gave it an 8.
So Meta Knight's Final Smash is cannon.
Thats nothing watch what they did with the Kirby amiibo, its Smash Bros Kirby
Except Smash Bros as an ability was in Amazing Mirror first.
it's interesting how smash has influenced the main series kirby games. first the airdodge, and now this
+Le Chris Also vise versa, SSBB's story mode was heavily influenced by Kirby.
As always, phenomenal review Derrik!
Let us all give Derrick a round of applause for another fantastic review! Even when you are sick, you still provide some of the best reviews on UA-cam!
Thanks for fixing it Derrick!
I don't know why anyone is watching this (myself included). No offense to GameXplain but we all know this going to be an epic game.
+Nioah Darn it! Looks like you win the internet...again...
You had me at, "Kirby". :D
I'm really glad to hear Kirby's still got it. thanks for the great review, and for powering through your sickness just to deliver.
7:49 Holly Hell it's the Great Diamond Authority!
That's it, show's over. The resistance is canceled, if the Gems really want this planet then they'll either gut it or destroy it and it's hopeless to fight them. Just run and find somebody who can quarantine the star system.
...Do you really think the Homeworld could stand a chance against the likes of Kirby?

It is sad to say, but I'd be more worried about the Great Diamond Authority than for Kirby.
Angel Samael

ESP Kirby seems like a total reference to Ness, and I love it xD
7:52 Holy crap! You're controlling that robot with a Game Boy! That's freaking awesome!
Derrick made the video even though he was sick.
Derrick is the real MVP.
This is easily one of my favorites in the series! Up there with Superstar / Superstar Ultra, Triple Deluxe, and Return to Dreamland!
modern Kirby keeps getting better. its like they have a formula that they keep expanding upon
It's like the only franchise that doesn't have a bad game, even squeak squad was enjoyable.
Only want the Meta Knight mode, personally...
Triple deluxe is one of my favourite platformers of all time. Definately getting this day one. Glad to see all of the good reviews too :)
This game looks fun! I remember playing Kirby 64 back in the day and LOVED it, this game looks like it has the potential to be fun as that. I'm sold
Thank you for not spoiling anything! I literally can not wait until this game is released on, June 20th? I think.
I received this game from my brother as a belated Christmas gift on Friday January 4th, and I love this game. It's personally my favorite Kirby game in the series.
The robot suits function like the animal friends by having an alternate version of each ability.
I am particularly waiting to see IGN's review. Watch them give it a 5/10 and say "no one older than 8 should pick this up".
Plot twist: they actually gave it an 8 !
Nintendo just decided to make the best Kirby game 3 times in a row. Return to dreamland, topped by triple deluxe, which was topped by this.
now can we just get another goddamn kirby air ride
The game's going to be a must buy alright. :)
Doesn't hold a candle to Super Star.
***** I know but I want to enjoy it.
+TempestMauve That seems like a matter of opinion rather then the fact you have presented it to be.
ha. i just got my hands on a copy of SSU to hold me till i can grab this. 2 days till release in north america. still need to wait till end of the month
Draculooloo Not really, I say that because there has been a trend of 'reinventing the wheel' with recent Nintendo games. They try to compete with early classics, but only feel passable.
This dude sounds sick as hell.
Description
He is
This game sounds sick as hell.
This game sounds sick as Derrick.
all of these comments are golden and this is my shitty contriubution
Let's be honest, ever Kirby game is good. I don't know a single bad Kirby game. This game is definitely a must buy for me(heck I already have it pre ordered along with the amiibos)
Although r.i.p. Beetle and Yo-yo. I will always miss you. Sad you didn't return.
Pretty much, I've played practically all of them and enjoyed every single one!
***** i've played them all and enjoyed them all
I think the one I enjoyed the most is kirby air ride. back in my childhood days loved playing it with my friends.
+Yoda Soda 06 Kirby air ride was amazing. I still play it to this day. The game is soooooo much fun. I was so glad when they added a city tour like mode in smash bros(too bad it isn't as good)
9:09 KIRBY HAS A SHINE, new meta for 20XX.
Thank you for this Review Derrick! I am so excited for this game! And props to you for wanting to narrate this review, even when ill. It means a lot, because you love this game. Thank you, again!!
Adeline on the left arm of the Bot and Sailor Dee on the right! They're stickers, right? Either way, I love how they got those guys in another game somehow! :D
Guys, great review as always! As for Derrick, get well soon! :)
Man, Derrick, your voice has improved A LOT.
I love the Robobot Armor simply because you can change ability whenever you want.
I like the game, and I absolutely love the Robot Armour.... but I liked Triple Deluxe better. I liked the bright organic feel of TD better than PRs mechanization, that although looking cool, also gets a little stale for me in places. I liked collecting keychains more than stickers, and I like the extra modes like Dedede's Drum Dash better. But as Derrick says, all a matter of preference.
This is on sale at target for 25 bucks with free shipping. I just ordered!
I'm definitely going to have to pick this game up along with Pokemon Moon. Great review Derrick, hope you get better soon.
Derrick. You ok. If you're sick, It could've waited. Much respect to ya. Get well soon.
Get well soon Derrick!
4:29 Indiana Kirby and the Temple of Gambell.
Get well soon Derrick
I played the demo and I was blown away. I wish this franchise wasnt so underrated.
The Mech Suit reminds me of the Skells in Xenoblade X
I just got the game, and pretty much beat the main story mode, now I'm playing Meta Knight, and it's still just as fun, and Meta Knight feels powerful, also that final boss fight was just amazing in so many ways. As for the mini games, I'd like to see maybe a DX variant, kind of like what happened with Drum Dash, and Kirby Fighters, hopefully they would consider it, if not then no real loss to me, the game is great, and I love the collectables actually having some kind of use, rather then something nice to look at. Great Review.
Feel better soon Derrick!
"NOTE: Derrick is suffering from a cold and is still recovering his voice, but he really wanted to narrate the review himself."
man that's dedication right there, get well soon Derrick. i didn't really need this review to convince myself to buy this game when it comes out cause i was already fully interested in the game (MegaKirby X, nuff said), that and i enjoyed Triple Deluxe (1st Kirby game i've ever beaten, not 100% mind you but whatever, lol).
This is excellent! A call back to the days when games came jam packed with content.
Every time I play this game, I feel like a 5 year-old playing a Mario game. HOLY SHIT. The new copy abilities, the mech suits, the graphics, OH! So fucking good. I personally think it's miles ahead of Return to Dreamland, even Triple Deluxe. And I'm on the second world!
I've been looking forward to getting this game and now I'm more excited for it; thanks for the review Mr. Bitner~!
*SPOILERS*
did anyone else tear up when the robobot sacrificed itself for kirby and cried? that was the saddest thing I've ever seen apart from when i look in the mirror
I did
I'm glad to hear that Gamexplain!
Awesome Derrick! It was great to see ya pulling through on this dispite the sickness. Get better
Hope you get better, Derrick.
I knew this game was gonna be great! The soundtrack alone sold me on it, and I'm getting this Day 1 alongside a few of the Amiibo's. (I can finally get a Dedede Amiibo because the Smash Bros one is really frickin' rare...)
I finally buckled down and beat The True Arena and I have to say is the Hardest Kirby boss rush that I have played. I get Star Allies in two days, I hope it is good.
I 100%'ed Triple Deluxe and Planet Robobot on the days I bought them.
8:47
Loud Locomotive?
(5-2 stage theme, the one with the steel train)
4:32 "Giant Poo Balls"
It reminds me of Drill Dozzer, somehow , like a spiritual successor or something :D
I found it annoying that in the opening cutscene and the final boss, the ship had 4 legs but in the rest of the game, it has 5
I'm convinced I should buy this.
I like Triple Deluxe more because it's more in line with my idea of a classic Kirby game (i.e. Nightmare in Dreamland) and I love playing as Dedede but Robobot is probably the better game objectively
Colin Williamson good on you for realising that your opinion is subjective
my next purchase...cant wait till end of the month! plan to 100% triple deluxe. but got side-tracked with superstar ultra, and squeak squad though. :->
Man, great review! I was looking forward to this game for quite a while now and I was already planning on getting it as soon as I could. But now, I actually want to pre-order this to make SURE I get this game with my GameStop gift card!
I agree with a lot of that, though one problem I had was that the levels were pretty short and super easy. I beat story mode in less than 24 hours of gameplay, and about 24 hours real time of getting the game. Also on most of the levels, I got all of the code cubes first try, so I never had to do a lot of backtracking
9:26 Oops.
Literally ever Kirby game gets better and better! I loved Return to Dreamland and Triple Deluxe and this looks great! :D I hope you feel better!
I absolutely loved Triple Deluxe, looking forward to picking this up!
My boy Kirby is coming through
KIRBEN LAGANN! JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM!!!
You can never go wrong with Kirby!
I loved this game to must buy for a 3ds owner
Best Kirby game ever?
Damn, I'd think Super Star Ultra would be unbeatable
6:20
There's Deluxe versions of the sideagames now! Woo hoo!
Those weren't mechanized sharks. Those were Acros.
Oh boy you sound sick, get better soon!
This game seems really polished even though its still so simple. I would like them to take some more chances with the kirby franchise as far as adding new enemies and making it more challenging. I know kirby has always been the easy platformer. This game has nice music and after playing the demo I was pleasantly surprised that I really enjoyed it even though I didn't finish the first kirby game on 3ds.
Would like to see this in Nintendo switch..
I'm glad to see that the game is as good as I was hoping; I'll definitely be setting $40 aside to buy it on the release date!
so many good games came out this month overwatch doom this
Overwatch has too much hype, but then again so did Splatoon and I know people must have been annoyed how everyone was hyped up for a unfinished game, or saying it looks all Nickelodeon and trash,etc.
+EeveeParty97 Honestly, after playing Overwatch, it honestly deserves most if not all of its hype
EeveeParty97 havent played splatoon yet got to get on that
RemixerUltimate I blame the marketing is the reason I didn't care for Overwatch. Think of the Ghostbusters Trailer except if I saw the movie and it turned out to be good then I blame whoever had to edit the scenes to make the trailer.
+EeveeParty97 I thought the Overwatch trailers were done really well, especially the Widow and Dragons trailers. I have to admit that the first trailer didn't really catch my attention, but god damn, that gameplay. It's a refreshing game that feels great, which is hard to find in the sea of "wait over here for a few seconds and you'll regenerate your sniper shot to the chest" that is usually applied to multiplayer shooters.
Weird, i cannot find a IGN review on this game
I said this on Twitter, but it's too Early for a Review of this game to go up. A Good Time as usual like the other games that've been reviewed would've been less than a week before the release.
Why?
Plus it would helped to give time for Derrick to recover too..
Nintendo probably chose the date they could put the review up
I don't see why. Games with a heavy single player focus should be open for review as quickly as possible in order to convince lingering stragglers if it's ultimately worth it or not. Reviews that are embargoed until near release (or worse, at release or after) are usually a forboding sign that things might not be as peachy as they want you to think. But when it comes to releasing reviews weeks beforehand? It shows that there's a LOT of confidence in the project.
He said he played through the story twice. It sounds like he spent a good amount of time with it.
Basically, Kirby Triple Deluxe 2: The invasion of the Robots.
If this is better than Triple Deluxe, then I'm gonna HAVE to play this! I LOVED Triple Deluxe, and it's not only my favorite Kirby game, but also my favorite platformer!
I got to play a demo of it at GameStop today, and while it still had the classic Kirby formula, I found myself having real fun with it. It is a nice game, and I am glad I pre-ordered this already! I can't wait until June 10th to get my own copy plus my King Dedede Amiibo! :)
Five tries, and I'm close to beating the true arena! HA!
