Kirby

It's great being a Nintendo fan in Europe these days isn't it? Nowadays we normally get games at the same time as our cousins across the pond. Not so in the case of Kirby: Triple Deluxe, however — how dare NoE make us wait an extra two weeks for the loveable pink puffball? Only teasing, what's a few weeks between friends?

Kirby's first solo adventure on the 3DS brings attractive visuals, new power-ups, clever use of auto-stereoscopic 3D and two sub-games to enjoy. We described this as a "pleasant package" and gave it a recommendation in our Kirby: Triple Deluxe review.

If you are tempted to buy this from the eShop instead of on a cart, it will cost you £34.99 or €39.99. However, those that buy on the eShop receive a free code for Kirby's Dream Land 2, so it's hard to grumble. If space on your SD card is a concern we can tell you that the Euro version of the game will take up 4820 blocks (588 MB) on your SD card.
