So for those of you who dont know, or arent big Kirby fans, Kirby has had some action in the past 2 months. As mentioned in a previous post, the game Kirby: Mass Attack came out for the DS in september, and more recently, the game Kirby's Return to Dreamland came out in october, just around 2 weeks ago actually. I'll be talking about the latter in this post.
So in Kirby's Return to Dreamland, Kirby finally gets his copy ability back! This is kinda big, because in his last 2 games, Kirby: Mass Attack, and Kirby's Epic Yarn, he didnt get to use his copy ability. At all. Which is kinda weird, since thats what really defines who Kirby is. But i digress. Anyways, this new game has lots of abilities for Kirby to copy, some old, some new, and some super. Did I say super? Yes I did. In this game, at certain special spots, Kirby gets to have certain Super Abilities, which basically decimate anything that is in his way. And i mean anything, including the very landscape itself! But being as powerful as they are, they are only active for a certain amount of time, so ya gotta act quick!
Like i said before, Kirby has lots of abilities to use in this new game. 23 in all in fact. 22 if you discount the sleep ability, 28 if you include the super abilities, 27 if you include the super abilities and discount the sleep ability, i'll leave that up to you to decide. Im not gonna go into detail and list them all here, you'll have to play it for yourself to find out what they are.
Another huge thing about this game is that it is multiplayer, with up to 4 players at once. This is big, because this is the first time Kirby has been multiplayer. Yes, Kirby's Epic Yarn did have a 2-player option, but that doesnt really count as multiplayer, so im not counting that. The other players can play as King Dedede, Meta Knight, Waddle Dee, or a different colored Kirby! King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Waddle Dee each have their own respective abilities, such as hammer for Dedede, and Sword for Meta Knight. Wanna know what Waddle Dee's is? Go play the game. Its fun to play with all of them at once, and just as much fun to play with 4 Kirbys(Kirbies?)at once too, or any combination of the like.
In short, Kirby gets his copy ability back, and its multiplayer. If thats not enough reason for you to go get this game, I dont know what is. Needless to say, I really recommend this game. SO GO GET IT! NAO!
