Ashley Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I picked this up on a whim and played it a bit with a friend last night and he's not into gaming but enjoyed it (it's why I suggested this particular game). Played some single player today and yeah it's not as good, but it's still just a charming delightful title full of joy and kissing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaepora_Gaebora Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 After enjoying @Hero-of-Time review, and telling him so but that it convinced me this game is probably not for me (not the biggest Kirby fan going) I suddenly thought just how much I'd enjoyed Super Lucky's Tale on Xbox because of many of the points Hero made... Really very tempted to pick this up now as another game I can play through quickish and still get alot out of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a great introductory game as it's low stakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know @dazzybee has been enjoying the repetition of playing it over and over and over and over and over again with his little one 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Kirby has a had cracking start in the UK charts. Quote Kirby Star Allies was released last week and it seems like the game is off to a good start, sales-wise. It debuted at #2 in the UK sales charts, which makes it the fastest-selling Kirby game in UK history. Previously, the two fastest-selling Kirby games were Triple Deluxe and Planet Robobot on the 3DS.

Dcubed Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Helps that this is the first Kirby game for a console that isn't being released in its respective console's twilight years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's the real reason why I didn't think was an amazing Kirby game. Playing it so early on in a consoles life has messed with my head and enjoyment.   2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aneres11 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Ha I thought it was just me! I went into GAME on Saturday to pick it up and it wasn't on the shelf, just the 'coming soon' box art. So I thought they just hadn't got round to putting the proper cases out. When I went and spoke to the guy he said they had just had enough to fulfil preorders. He was a bit rude actually, for seemingly no reason, but that's another tale haha. In the end I managed to get it from Grainger Games.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killthenet Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 It sold 220,000 in it's first week in Japan too! It seems to be selling crazy well, apparently it's the best debut for a Kirby game for over 10 years (Super Star Ultra on DS shifted 260,000 in its first week). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen-i Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) Two trailers showing off Rick, Coo and Kine (One character, much to my surprise) and Marx were released. Â I like what they did with Marx, seems very faithful to his appearance in Super Star. Also looks pretty OP, which is always fun.

Ronnie Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Am I the only person who really hates the friend ability in this game? I just want to play this as Kirby, as a single player experience and not have the cpu play the game for me. Is it alright to just go through the levels without anyone else or do they become necessary to proceed later on? (I don't mind missing out on all the challenge rooms) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I can recall anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I don't mind missing out on all the challenge rooms) I'm of a similar opinion when it comes to single player. Thankfully, you can play through pretty much the entire game without CPU helpers. If you ever need CPU's to progress, there's always a respawning enemy for you to friend. As soon as they do what you need them to do, you can just hold Y near them and "unfriend" (Actual in-game term) them. You're then free to carry on. The only thing playing solo stops you from doing is mixing copy abilities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Thanks all. I spent about five minutes with three cpu friends walking behind me before I was starting to regret my purchase. Definitely playing without any from now on, it was just way too chaotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen-i Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) So did anyone actually beat The Ultimate Choice? And I mean "Properly" beat it, Soul Melter difficulty, No CPU friends, no amiibos and without cheesing it with Marx or the other Dream Friends? Because I didn't...It's really bloody hard! It's like, my 10th attempt and I only just got to the last (Not entirely sure it is the last) boss and got battered. Stuff to avoid, everywhere!

Glen-i Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) Next update is now out. It adds Dark Meta Knight, Daroach and best forgotten Kirby character, Adeleine. I played through Guest Star with Adeleine just now (49 minutes, 9.14 seconds, my second best time) and bloody hell, she hits like a truck. All that time being ignored has made her into one proper murderous girl. On the other hand she gets insane knockback and damage when she gets hit. Effectively making her a glass cannon. Gonna try out Dark Meta Knight now. EDIT: Oh, BTW. That Kirby 64 medley that plays during Adeleine's final boss fight? Sublime.
