kirby !!

[Rökkan]

Uhm, Last I checked Kirby's adventure was a pretty damn hard game, I'd love to see a kirby game with that difficulty again.

As people said before, it's really easy. Specially if you compare to any other NES game of the time.

Destructible environments?

Niiiiiiice.

It's nothing new, all games had certain objects that could be only destroyed or interacted with only with a certain ability (like Hammer or Fire) and Squeak Squad stepped that up a tiny notch with burnable, cuttable and electrifiable plants, floor and stuff.

I find Kirby's Epic Yarn to be really, really lackluster. The graphics are cool and everything, but it just doesn't feel like a Kirby game. I think part of the fun of Kirby was sucking up enemies and getting their powers; it was the thing that set it apart from other platformers. Now that's gone, and.. well.. decorating houses and turning Waddle Dees into balls.

Now, don't hate me for saying this. I know some of you think Epic Yarn is the messiah of Kirby gaming, and that's just my opinion, nothing more.

About the new game: Whip Kirby? Wave Kirby? Kirby 64 II?

SO there.

(If you want a challenge, try Kirby and the Amazing Mirror's Boss Rush.. jeezum!)

Epic Yarn is no messiah or anything, but it is a really good twist on the kirby formula and a really good original platformer overall. As it was already discussed on the Epic Yarn thread, Kirby isn't just about the same Kirby's Adventure-like gameplay, Kirby had a lot of different sorts of gameplay over the years and they're all really good (see: Air Ride). Or would you like them to just do a mediocre game that uses the same gameplay over again with almost no new things to it (as Squeak Squad did)

Also Epic Yarn's difficulty isn't about beating it (you can't die anyway) but about getting Gold medals in all levels - and that requires not getting hit much and getting tons of beads. If you fall once you can kiss that medal goodbye, because you'll lose a shit-ton of beads. Even though it is easy, it's a really charming and original platformer, every stage welcomes you to a unique atmosphere and stage elements, every new stage is a new, creative experience, and that is what I really love about Kirby's Epic Yarn.
