Looks good i guess, but i'm personally not interested — growing up with the 2600, i'm more of a Breakout purist (which i think is a classification i just now invented).

Oh, how cool! I'm a 2600 freak, too. I still have my original 7800! haha.. I love playing Breakout. (and Tetris, etc.) So I am giving this one a shot, even though I know it's much different than Breakout and Tetris, etc.

I think it's been worth the 3 bucks I paid for it. Kind of got addicted for a bit and went through the first three worlds then made myself quit. Had other things that needed to be done, and I'm trying to finally play the rest of the way through Spirit Tracks.
Kirby Block Ball is simple, but somewhat humble and charming. Never played it before and it's a nice break from all the Zelda I play.

I love this, Breakout + Kirby is all I ever wanted. This is the only game that has recently been able to stop me playing Kid Icarus.

Yes, because not buying VC is the way we get them to releasese more.

Anyhow, Kirby's Block Ball is an extremely fun game I encourage everyone to play (I was surprised at the $2.99 price point too. Seems much more like a title they'd offer for $3.99). I had it as a kid, so I knew I was definately going to be getting it, but I had honestly forgotten how fun the game is.

Currently Playing:
Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)

Haha! Yes, it did. IMHO. I have a soft spot for that game. I remember playing it as a very little kid and enjoying it immensely, even the crazy sound effects. lol!

I second that! It's fun, addictive, innovative and original

Oh! Spirit Tracks is so underrated, in my opinion! I'm playing that and Minish Cap for the zillionth time through, and love them both equally. I'm also playing Kirby Block Ball in between that during my half an hour a night sessions lol

I'm sorry, but this is a lousy reason not to buy something. Europe lacks several games America has, so don't whine about it too much

I'm really loving this. Much more creative than I expected. It's more than just a ball with Kirby's face on it...they do a great job of blending both gameplay experiences.

Don't want to get too off topic, but yes, Spirit Tracks is underrated. Zelda is my favorite franchise, but for some reason it has already been hard for me to get through the handhelds. It took me a few years to beat Phantom Hourglass cause I kept picking it up, and then putting it down again for a long time (stupid Temple of the Ocean King). It was a great game, but it took me a while to really sit down and get through it. Now, I've been doing the same with Spirit Tracks...I actually just beat Link's awakening for the first time two days ago.. and I had it back int 1998...yet the only console Zelda I have NOT beat, is Zelda 2...
Anyway, Kirby Block Ball is pretty addicting right now!

The fact that most of those games europe is missing, however, are third party, that is a completely different story, seeing how most of those are close to being released. Europe now has about 4 Nintendo party VC titles, and we are behind a lot. We have a reason to complain. Seeing how NOA usually doesn't reveal it's upcoming releases. At least we are catching up though.

The only complainers that we have to worry about are those Operation Rainfall people spamming facebook.

Though I will say, this game was worth the wait for america. It is so addicting! Glad it's on 3DS VC for it's cheap price. Hopefully Pinball land doesn't take that much longer.

I hear you. I do the same thing. When I have to go to sleep and stop playing at night or put a game down because of boredom or something else, sometimes I find months go by before I play it again. When I had more time when I was younger I finished games in weeks, days even! Now as I'm older and I find I have less free time it takes me forever! I am loving this game because it seems to have a great pick up and play mechanic. Kirby's Block Ball is fun and addictive, and i am loving it immensely It was so great to see another Virtual Console release yesterday. Let's hope they have more wonderful gems like this up their sleeves for us!

I got it, it's really well done for a Breakout type game. But I'd much rather have Dreamland 2.

Right, because 1000+ copies of Link's Awkaening DX totally got Nintendo to release the Oracle Games already.
Besides, I was mostly kidding. I know that's a bad reason not to buy a game, and I probably will get it eventually.
