Kirby Superstar DS out, another favourite

[Julius Seeker]

This is easily my favourite of the Kirby series, and by far. I noticed it came out yesterday. I remember some others interested about here on this board, so I am giving the heads up.

I played the SNES one quite a bit. It's a very entertaining mini-game collection of you like that sort of thing.

[Julius Seeker]

Just for the record, it's not a minigame collection. It's a compilation of multiple Kirby adventures (similar to how Phoenix Wright is a compilation of multiple Phoenix Wright adventures).

It sure as hell looked and felt like one



So it's essentially got 5 small platformer games, one "survival" mode, and 3 other mini-games....yeah, it's more of a minigame collection

You don't know what a minigame is if you think Kirby Superstar is a minigame collection.

I'm with seeker on this one. It's a collection of kirby games with about 3 minigames thrown in. Just because it does contain minigames, doesn't make it a minigame collection.

I think Warioware has warped our definition of a "minigame".

A collection of smaller Kirby platformers. They're not really full games on their own. That's what I meant. I don't mean Warioware-like minigames. Since there's only 8 (well 9) they're obviously gonna be much larger. But it's not like any of those games stripped out and released on it's own is a full game either. That's why it's more like a minigame collection than a compilation. I played the crap out of this game a decade ago so it's not a diss to it.

BTW, the Megaton punch is tons of fun, far more than a silly little minigame should be

[Julius Seeker]

To be blunt - you don't know what a minigame is. A minigame is what you would call fighting in a hockey game, drug dealing in Scarface, or Triple Triad/Tetra Master in Final Fantasy. Wario Ware is about as close to a minigame collection as I can think of.

mario party?

remember the first kirby game? It was for the gameboy. It was called Kirby's Dream Land. This game was released on its own as a full game. It is in Kirby Superstar. Dynablade, the Great Cave Offensive, Revenge of Meta Knight, and Milky Way Wishes are all games (inside superstar) that are in comparable length to Spring Breeze which is Kirby's Dream Land that is crammed inside superstar. We're not talking Super Mario World's length, but these are full games. You basically do the same thing in all of them with the regular crappy Kirby level design, but they are all Kirby games with different objectives and stories.

Xenosaga One's card game was the best minigame ever.

Xenosaga One's card game was the best minigame ever.

Agreed that it was a lot of fun. I remember spending a few hours on that one. I will have to play it again to compare it to the Triple Triad game, or Tetra Master.

[SineSwiper]

I think I played 5-10 hours on that one.
