HAHAHAHA @James you're awesome!

Only 3.52 million sales?? OMG NINTENDO IS GOING BANKRUPT!!!11

@VintageBoy actually laughed hahaha!

Less than 10 is unacceptable!!
And more: think about Super Mario Bros. Deluxe and you will find a game that deserves more than 10!

@MetalDragonZero LOL, like Platinum?

Gotta catch ‘em all is no more. hehe
It isn't the main point of the series!

StreetPass? -> C-Gear.

"uncharacteristic screeches" sorry but for me they're very characteristic, I can recognize them by their game's "cry", perhaps you meant something else...

@102. milkman12 It took 9 years for an explanation because people simply didn't cared to ask!!
LOL

Do you like Mario? A stomp is enough! Now what are those weak enemies you're talking about? You can't even jump on them!

"you mentioned that you need a power-up to fly ["be hit by something, will need to go down to get a power to continue"]"
No, sorry, I meant you'd need to go down to get a power you need to advance in the game (or access some places), to press switches, get into doors, etc...

"does THIS look like a game aimed towards boys?"
Hum, it has mixed graphics for me.

"Nintendo This Is The Console Where You Play Mario & Mii Games"

Seriously... What about "Nintendo US", when he said "Nintendo Wii and you" in the presentation it was much more appealing than the final name, so they could keep that idea somewhat.

Okay... I hope the games aren't rushed and have lower quality just because of the necessity to have a flagship though.

Fair enough...

@100. milkman12 He shouldn't be fatter, if you really knew about it you'd know when Kirby inhale an enemy it's different than eating (not cannibalism), his belly proprieties or the process isn't explained but it's shown particularly in one or more episodes in the anime that when he inhales an enemy it goes into kind of an universe-like space.
Anyway, what if it was eating? Now jumping in enemies' heads and shotting is a better thing?

It isn't overpowered. It's possible to lose the star which contains the power, it's possible to lose lives in Kirby's games. The spark shield you mentioned doesn't allow you to move while using it.

Kirby can fly, as well as some enemies you see... And the stages aren't open skies at all!
I defy you to finish the game by simply floating through the levels. You'll be hit by something, will need to go down to get a power to continue, you can't defeat bosses with the air that's expelled from him, etc.

Seriously just because he's pink? And then you can forget the facts that happen in the game, the powers, don't you think there are elements that please boys too? You even just said he's a cannibal, this is a "boy thing" .
It was a meaningful sexist thing to say. But you're right, there aren't boys/men who play Kirby, they don't exist. I don't know how I'm writing this because I don't exist!

You don't get it...

It means that if they updated the game, the people who don't update would have advantage as they'd still be able to exploit the bug and someone who have updated wouldn't.

17. Duney Hahaha yes it is.
But of course USA wouldn't join the WW if that didn't happen right? roll eyes

1. JarvanZheitk It's the same thing, thus useless.

You know what's funny?
Kirby xxxx is a easy game, people complain. Kirby xxxx is a hard game, people complain.

This review, it doesn't exists in reality!
One of the points where the game is criticized is about the confusion on L and R buttons, where you clearly have to hold the L to get the star and simply touch the R to get your <s>friends</s> other parts of yourself. See, the game even had a solution for confusion. What you did is comparable to simply complaining about using an item in accident instead of drifting in Mario Kart!

@55. theblackdragon sorry, this is what I meant with my "PS.". In Internet discussions may seem a bit more harsh than they actually are. My comments are simply "direct" not "angry", the lack of the voice tone causes this I think.

@45. Justus "The nostalgia can blind you" You should consider some people that "had" this game a while ago may still have it and replaying this game up to recently/today or with this release on the 3DS. Nostalgia also is kind of a weak memory thing (remembering only the good moments), what I think isn't a concept that should be applied to teens/adults+.

@52. cyrus_zuo then if it's not your kind of game ("Metroid-like" exploration) you have the right to give it a low score?

PS. I'm not trying to start a discussion with everyone or have the review changed, just replying to some I can't agree, leaving some thoughts...

@37. Dodger keep trying to make them press the buttons, use a power to do so, it's possible.

Folks let's not use multiplayer as the big argument for justifying the AI (and thus the low score on 3DS) though, as you'd need a friend, another GBA and another copy of the game.

41. vvaluigi you don't compare controls between games released at different times/systems. I'd like to know what you call sluggish though. (Perhaps the port caused that, as I only played on GBA.)

I can't believe this review. Let me just say that: How could you attempt ruin the best Kirby game ever?

1. This isn't a light world / dark world game, you didn't pay attention into the history.
2. Original title: "Kirby of the Stars: The Great Labyrinth of the Mirror" - It's a labyrinth of mirrors, it seems you just wanted the game to be easy? You want the map of a labyrinth where the point of the game is to explore the labyrinth!!!? o.O
3. The other Kirby (AI) do help, but most with enemies. It's you that are saying the other Kirby are there to help to press switches. By making it hard Nintendo pretends that we use the multiplayer feature of the game (but you can end up getting help from them with it if you try enough). Yes, it isn't easy to get them to inhale a big block with you, because they need to be synchronized with you, but you can do it. The thing is: the game was made that way on purpose so it makes your statement of "dumb AI" invalid. I imagine if they were "smart" enough, they'd be a step ahead of you, unblocking the right paths for you and it'd make the game (suck) be a breeze.
4. Cellphone: why can't Kirby have it?
4.1. I don't confuse L and R.

This game has a good plot, new abilities, different movements than the previous series, great music and graphics, exploration, collectible chests, isn't too easy... It's just perfect, I can't believe this 6. :/

@34, 36, 55 and 77
This is the best Kirby game ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It may be Pokémon Gray. There's also a possibility it's playable in DS and enhanced in 3DS.

With all these big games (and remakes) just released for 3DS and Nintendo's plans I'm not sure if they'd start a new generation now or a remake.

Or Pokémon Dash 3D - please Nintendo NOOOOO

This game looks so good!
^FTFY

I never played this series but the trailers aways get me wanting to play Uprising... I just wondered now if there aren't going to have exploration parts in the game. I'd like to know this.

This interview was so amazing! I hope they find even more success!

@17 and 19 the DSi also has pressure sensiting, only 3DS doesn't. Well, it's sad they couldn't make it into the 3DS but they have a big color pallete to compensate at least.

Monkey Poop Wars!!!! LMFAO SO HARD!! hahahaha

hahaha huahu

The comments here are fantastic!

I clicked on this thinking it was a "hidden" review of the Nintendo 3DS hardware and software!

@15. Robo-goose OMG, which is crazier: thinking you just wrote this stuff or that you had this written already!?

The art is simply fantastic!!

Why comparing it to Mickey Mouse and Disney?
Mickey still a famous character but he doesn't make success anymore nor defined any standard in the animation area... @27. StarDust Does Mickey still have a TV show? Is it good?... Disney now only creates 12-16 year old aimed sitcoms, lost most of its Classics beauty. See, comparing Nintendo to Disney doesn't works.

Where's the Little Pony bundle??

@33. TheSolarKnight Remember they had signal interferences on the E3...? That must have been the case, and they may made it better on later development also.

Can't we stop with this already? They aren't going to make games for mobiles! Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft games are of high quality and size, it directly affects the price and no one wants they lose focus on their consoles to make poor games for cellphones. And in the case of Nintendo, selling consoles is one of its main ways of revenue because of piracy.

You regret it, and so what? WHY do you regret it?

I have it and it's a good game. I played constantly up until I got everything unlocked and I like it. It doesn't get very cool after you unlocked everything because there's no more goals but if you like a cheap game you can play with your friends with nice sounds and graphics you have the perfect game here.

@36. bluey611 I answered you here.

@43. piguy101 YES to all your questions.

@44. paperskyx You can share a demo with them and then enter in the Wireless mode, it works on any DS system (i or not).

@47. bluey611 It's obvious you have to have the two games in the same system!! hint*Nintendo 3DS Transfer Tool*hint

@3. ElFlorro and 16. Mandoble, thanks for the info!
@17. bonesy91 hahaha!

Well, the game looks very good after all (we need to put into consideration the hardware limits too). And Zelda has a unique style, story and gameplay. ^^ It was very well done. @26. killer6370 I agree, I think there's a lot of war / FPS games out there that are just stupid.

@56. StephenYap3 Ohh but I like Yoshi!!!!
lol... For me it was very cool that you had to use the right character on later parts of the game to get the stars.

May I ask for those who have a Wii and the game if does it really look good?
On the Web the most images look like medium definition and aliased, maybe it's an impression.

As for the controls, I'm convinced Nintendo have done a good job!

5. Rated_R_Superstar I have to disagree. For me it DOES hold up very well by today's standards! Being remade for DS and all... It's still fun and if someone managed to make something better than it was Nintento, presumably with Super Mario Galaxy that fans love so much (I never played).

I also think it's terrible you can't have kids, you know, a family like you have on the computer and make true stories with them. The Sims is only The Sims on PC.

Even though, some The Sims 3 expansions are disappointing compared on how feature-rich were the previous The Sims 1 and 2 expansions...

LAKITU ★______★

Someone please make Mario shut up!

Hahahaha!

@Usagi-san the data comes from referral data (e.g. they know a visitor came from the URL google.com/search?q=nintendo+life so they know the user searched for "nintendo life").

@32. Ian_Daemon Really? The game you want is for GC but you don't buy it because of the shape or color of the console? Completely nonsense.

1/3 of the article talking about the physical design? Seriously?

@kaykay of course you won't be buying this game. Firstly because it's free and secondly because it isn't a game.

Err... While FPS games might be hard and exciting, put your heart beating fast and all I don't like these games. They're most war games which I really don't like the story and I don't support this violence.

Destructoid gave it a 10/10 score!

Thanks a lot for all the information you posted on the comments!! I made me more interested on the game, even though I can't play it because I don't have a Wii.

Haha, so after some comments about other people's comments on how the game is easy... I'd like to know the opinion of you guys who are playing. Is the game easy? Short? What about when aiming for 100%?

Why limiting to 10 seconds of sound? This is stupid.
Why limiting to 10 minutes of video? This is still stupid.
This should be the user's choice!! And worse: the camera has poor quality!

This game will make 3DS sales go crazy!

I'm a fan of Kirby but why getting Kirby's Adventure after it had a much improved remake on GBA, etc...? 3D, really?
