miffy495 Posted June 30, 2011 Wow, this thread died fast. I posted this in the 3DS thread already, but here's what happened today. It's important. Today. Virtual Console. Kirby's. Motherfucking. Dreamland. $4.I know it's short as hell and pretty easy (I think I beat the game while I was typing this, in fact), but I have so many amazing memories of playing this game as a kid. I didn't have my own gameboy or my own copy of the game (I played a borrowed-from-a-friend copy on my sister's Game Boy Pocket) but I still managed to play this game to death. Even at 8 or 9 years old, I could systematically destroy this game, and would do so at least once every two or three days. It was just something I'd do to relax. Got a free half hour? Whup Kirby's Dreamland. I was sort of exaggerating about beating it while typing this, but I did buy it twenty-five minutes before writing this post and started typing after the credits rolled. It's still fantastic though. The amount of personality in those sprites strikes me a lot more now that I'm older and have seen more than my share of uninspired game artwork. It really is fantastic. I don't feel bad about spending $4 on a 20-ish minute game because I know that I'm going to get at least 4 or 5 hours out of playing it over and over. If you won't, take it under consideration. If you're a big Kirby fan, as I am, get on this immediately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
syntheticgerbil Posted June 30, 2011 Now you've gotta play 2! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted July 1, 2011 I have, but I have way more affection for the original. Didn't play 2 until a couple of years ago, so I don't have those kinds of memories of it. It's good, but the animal companion thing always threw me. Same with 3 on the SNES. As soon as Kirby starts riding something, the game loses me a little.

Even playing 2 as a kid, i never liked it as much as the first one. Always wished i had played Kirby's Adventure, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted July 1, 2011 Kirby's Adventure is rad as hell. $5 on the Wii. What are you waiting for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanukitsune Posted July 6, 2011 On relatively related note, I just got G.G. Series Collection + in the mail, which is most of Genterprise's DSiWare games on one cart. I'll post what I think of the game as I unlock them, apparently I can only play four of them at first? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted July 14, 2011 You freaking jerk Europeans. You get Mario's Picross on 3DS today. I am so goddamned jealous right now. I just get stupid Game and Watch Gallery 1. Man. If you live in Europe, have a 3DS, and don't pick up this game, I hypothesize that you may be a terrible person. I can't be sure, but I feel confident in that guess.

Tanukitsune Posted July 14, 2011 Wanna trade? As much as I love Picross, I love these Game & Watch collections even more! Also, you lucky bastard get Netflix! We get three 3D videos to watch, and only one isn't 3DS related! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted July 15, 2011 I would absolutely love to trade, were it possible. I already have the Game and Watch collection DS carts from Club Nintendo, am a huge Picross freak, and after spending enough time with it to watch the first 5 minutes of an episode of Mythbusters, can confirm that the 3DS Netflix app is essentially the same as the Wii's (read: awful, especially compared to the 360 and, in particular, the PS3) except slower on the exact same connection for reasons I don't quite get. Believe me, this week's update only sounds exciting to an outsider. I'm still considering picking up G&WG though, if only for a $3 game to play now that I've finished OoT3D.

Tanukitsune Posted July 15, 2011 I wish I could have gotten the G&W DS collections, but in Nintendo Europe they were gone before I could get enough stars to buy them. They only have 3 games in them, right? The Game Boy ones had at least five, and those had both the original and a remake with Mario characters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now, thanks to the miracle of storage devices on portable consoles, there are almost no situations in which I ever need to be more than a few feet from a game of Picross! So happy!
