Caffeinated Thoughts
I have not played Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, though I am very interested in Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition that released yesterday. If you have never seen footage from Kirby's Nintendo 64 game, or what games Kirby's Dream Collection contains, the video below has trailers for both:
You can purchase Kirby 64 on your Wii for $10 from the Virtual Console, but if you get Kirby's Dream Collection you get 6 Kirby games, so it's like you are purchasing Kirby 64 for just $6.67. With The Crystal Shards having an average of more than 10 hours "Per person", I think the new Special Edition with the other 5 Kirby games and bonus materials is well worth the asking price $39.99.

I really like the character of Kirby, but for some reason I've never been able to get into his games.
ReplyDeletePerhaps it's just because they tend to be very straightforward and easy - not that I have a problem with easy games, but when a game is designed around being accessible for kids, there are certain elements that need to be left out. I *think* that's why I've never really got into these games.
Hey Matt, I feel the same way. The games look interesting, perhaps fun, but when I sit down to play them - I'm end up being disappointed. Take Kirby's Epic Yarn - great reviews, new style, whimsical, childish, but innocent and fun looking. I borrowed it from a co-worker with high hopes (especially after watching all the gameplay videos) and it was very underwhelming. Maybe I just hyped it up too much? I'm still considering going back and buying it at a bargain price in the future, but not anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteMirroring what you guys have said. Cute character, my daughter loves him, and I'll sit down to play the games, and they are an okay time killer, but I never really get invested in the titles myself
ReplyDeleteI can only remember playing and beating one Kirby game, and that was Epic Yarn with Mrs. Coffee. She really enjoyed the game, but once I saw the credits roll on it, I never played it again. The collecting of items/beads in the game was interesting, and challenging if you wanted 100%, but definitely not challenging like DKCR for stuff.
ReplyDeleteI didn't play last year's Return to Dream Land, but it looked pretty good I thought (had the co-op play in it as well).
Thanks for the comment and feedback!
Did you play the game by yourself, or did you attempt to play it cooperatively with anybody? That might make a small difference in enjoyment, because then you have two people being crazy in the levels.
ReplyDeleteI may have to borrow it again from our neighbors, if Bean 1 is running around Mario levels, I wonder how he would do in KEY...
Thanks for the comment and feedback on it!
Yeah, Bean 1 knows who Kirby is, but has never really played one of his games. It is the reason I'm interested in this package though, so that Bean 1 can give it a try since he enjoys the Mario platforming type games so much.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the thoughts!
I have a lot of nostalgia for this Kirby, and still think the power mixing of this game is interesting. I had the occasion to stop and think about what my favorite Kirby game was in the last 24 hours, and usually I jump to Kirby 64, but, I think I really appreciate Canvas Curse more. I love the "instrumentation" for the music, especially.
ReplyDeleteI still really want to check out Epic Yarn and especially Return to DreamLand. I think I'll pick them up and play those via my Wii U.
