Hopefully sometime this weekend :)Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-30778184387158504812012-07-14T09:46:46.904-07:002012-07-14T09:46:46.904-07:00Hey there, Anne!
Now, are you asking simply about...Hey there, Anne!<br /><br />Now, are you asking simply about this game, or all Kirby games? Regardless, as far as I'm aware, there's only one Kirby. At the beginning of this game, he's multiplied by the game's main baddie, but in every other Kirby game I've ever played there's only one Kirby.<br /><br />That said, don't take my word as truth, as I'm not as well versed on Kirby as maybe I should be.<br /><br />Oh, and as for which Kirby game to start with: I started with Epic Yarn myself and absolutely loved it. I think that would be a great place to start. Just know that it isn't the most Kirby of Kirby games, if you will, as it doesn't feature some of the series defining traits/characteristics (like inhaling enemies and using their powers).<br /><br />If that's what you'd like to experience, I say go with Return to Dream Land. It's an extremely polished and beautiful Kirby game and plays like a Kirby game should, too.<br /><br />I'd tell you to start with the Famicom/NES version, but I really think you should play the Wii versions first, as you may be turned off by the, er, antiquatedness of the earlier one.Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-30759460160197805602012-07-14T02:20:35.753-07:002012-07-14T02:20:35.753-07:00Personally I think this is the best Kirby on the D...Personally I think this is the best Kirby on the DS so far (probably the last as well.)

Clearly I don't know very much about Kirby lore. <br /><br />I've been very keen to pick up a Kirby title these days, but I'm not sure if I should go for a DS game or Kirby's Epic Yarn. Or even Kirby's Return to Dream Land? So many Kirbys, it's hard to tell where to start! Maybe I should wait for that anniversary edition...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06637963404223994029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-50784139160765906682012-07-13T07:58:23.864-07:002012-07-13T07:58:23.864-07:00Yeah, I'll bet that was the case, Justin.

And, hey, if Xenoblade is the game that sucked away your attention, I can understand that :)<br /><br />Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, maybe you were playing this around the time you got your PS3? That would make sense, too. How are you feelin' about the ol' PS3 anyway?

Ah, glad to hear from someone else who is not only playing this but enjoying it, too!<br /><br />I haven't unlocked any mini-games yet, but I've heard about them. And, like you, the folks who have told me about them suggested many/most of them are fun.

I'm at World 2 and the challenge has already picked up. Getting golds on every stage for anyone that's a perfectionist won't have any easy time. <br /><br />The mini games you can unlock by collecting medals are also pretty fun. They aren't just tacked on extras. I was surprised by how much time I spent playing what I unlocked thus far.Reggie White Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10467336468770627457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-43434737447937719332012-07-12T08:38:13.071-07:002012-07-12T08:38:13.071-07:00sharc: I have a feeling a lot of the Kirby spin-of...sharc: I have a feeling a lot of the Kirby spin-off games started as something else and then turned into Kirby. Of course, the same has happened to Mario on many an occasion, so I wouldn't read too much into it.<br /><br />You don't have to keep quiet if you don't like this game, BTW.
