Me talking about Kirby and stuff

(Hey first real post!)

I didn't grow up with Kirby, at least not like some other fans did. I haven't even played all the games in the series. Despite that, I still love the pink puff-ball. Nearly every one of his games (that I've played, at least) have been just plain fun, and I can't thank HAL, Mr. Sakurai, and Nintendo for making this little bundle of joy. So strap in, because I'm about to get to talking about Kirby.

My first time seeing Kirby was when I was little and played Super Smash Bros Brawl for the first time. I didn't know much about him, and honestly I thought he was a Pokémon. But I thought it was awesome that he could absorb enemies and get their abilities. I just wondered where he was from...

The first Kirby game I played was Super Star Ultra on the DS. It was one of the later games I got for it, the 3DS was already out (can't remember if I had one though) and I was in love from the start. All the little games that have their own little differences that somehow changed everything, colorful graphics, and that SOUNDTRACK (every Kirby game has a good soundtrack, saying it here so I don't repeat myself.) Everything about this game blew me away, and I wanted to play more.

So soon after that I got Triple Deluxe, the best name for a 3DS game ever. While it was much shorter than SSU, and surprisingly more difficult, I really enjoyed it. The final boss is also REALLY cool! Not gonna spoil it, but this game is definetly a good time at the very least.

Now for a complete 180, we have these two. I didn't buy Dreamland 1, mostly because I already played the SSU version of it. I bought them off the eshop out of curiosity and, once again, I loved them. 3 really surprised me with how stylistic the game was, especially for a SNES title. They're great, go play them. That's all.

EPIC YARN IT'S SO CUTE JDJXUSNWWMWMSJSIDJSJ

I love this game. Is it easy? Yes, too easy at points. Does the level design stand-out in any way? No, not really. But is it fun? YES! I know it's weird to love a game based mostly on graphics, but I don't care. This game is so freaking cute.

Last but not least we have Star Allies! Yes I skipped Robobot, I'm sorry Kirby fans. Star Allies is... underwhelming. Don't get me wrong, the game is as much fun as the other games. The co-op is really well implemented, the level design is solid, and everything about the graphics (except I guess the frame rate but that doesn't bother me too much) just screams beauty, but I just wish there was more. 4 worlds, just isn't enough, especially with the price tag being $20 more than Triple Deluxe. Again, I love what's there, but I just want more. (Hope that doesn't sound greedy.)

So yeah, I love Kirby. Even if Star Allies was a bit disappointing, I can't help but be excited to see what comes next. So once more, thank you to HAL, Mr. Sakurai, and Nintendo for all the good times. And I'm hoping for many more in the future.
