Bosses circle Kirby in the whole 3D space, or loom malevolently at the front of the image. It’s a game where rollercoaster trains trundle from the background to the foreground to run Kirby down, while giant hands splat him flat against the screen. Judged on graphics alone it’s one of the most exciting titles on the platform, not just filling its scrolling levels with dazzling colours and mind-boggling cartoon spectacle, but actually making good use of the 3DS’s 3D effects. Nintendo stalwarts, HAL Laboratory, has pulled out all the stops to make a 2D platformer so exuberantĪnd stuffed with goodies that it’s almost impossible to resist. OK, so it’s just another 2D platformer with 3D elements, but only in the sense that The Avengers was just another superhero film.
It’s not just a decent platformer, but one of the best games to hit the Nintendo 3DS this year. Yet with Kirby: Triple Deluxe, we’re beginning to wonder whether the joke has been on us. While grown-up gamers can still revel in the antics of the little Italian plumber or his simian ex-nemesis, Donkey Kong, too many of us are all too happy to snigger at Kirby, and put his games down as ‘fine for the kids’.
The little pink blob has always been the toughest sell in Nintendo’s roster not as lovable as Mario or as heroic as Link and Zelda not as dastardly as Wario or as adorable as Yoshi. Players who already own Kirby: Triple Deluxe with StreetPass data will get bonus content in both downloadable games.Are you a Kirby-hater? No need to be ashamed – we’ve been there too.
This version includes five new stages and a new team battle feature. In Kirby Fighters Deluxe, players use different copy abilities to defeat all of the arena opponents. In Dedede’s Drum Dash Deluxe, players move Dedede across the stage, bouncing to the beat in seven new stages exclusive to this downloadable version. A summary on both games can be found below. Make sure to check out the embedded trailer above for Kirby Fighters Deluxe. Though a European / UK price point is yet to be set for the two Kirby games, it will likely be in line or an equivalent price to the US at $6.99. While Japanese and North American 3DS users have been able to download the two games since last summer, European Kirby fans will now be able to hop on board and join the multiplayer fun. Kirby Fighters Deluxe and Dedede’s Drum Dash Deluxe – both of which featured in Kirby: Triple Deluxe – will be available to download in the European 3DS eShop on February 13. Nintendo of Europe has announced that two Kirby mini-games will be arriving in Europe next month.
