crispy4000 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 He’ll yeah, first fully 3D kirby game. No more questions lingering from the 64 era what that’d be like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyHell Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I definitely want this, but am I the only one who noticed how empty a lot of the first half of that trailer was? Just open platforming, no enemies or anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

best3444 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 That looks pretty damn good with beautiful visuals. I'll have to keep an eye out for this. Maybe my first switch game I play in over 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbob42 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Demo didn't do much for me, but maybe that'll change in the full release. Game suffers from some frame drops and stutters, which is disappointing as it already feels compromised at 30 FPS. I miss when Kirby games like Kirby's Epic Yarn were polished to a mirror shine in terms of the tech. Sure it was just 2D but unlike stepee I'm not having my mind blown with these simplistic visuals. They're not bad but they're not worth the relatively poor performance. (To be clear the frame drops and stutters aren't happening constantly, I just think this running at 30 with barely anything going on in what appears to be very cramped and linear levels while Mario Odyssey managed 60 is disappointing.) More concerning is that I just didn't find it very fun. I think the Kirby devs have a hard-on for making their games so easy you could beat them by taping the left analog stick in any given direction. Now I'm never after a Kirby game for it to kick my ass, but they included a "wild" mode for an added challenge. How much challenge did it add? Well all 3 levels of the demo took me about 15-25 minutes total, in which time I lost HP once, to the boss in stage 3, who finally landed a hit when he was at 5% HP... and that attack did less than 5% of my health. It barely took a sliver... from a boss... on the alleged hard mode. So strange. I was kind of hoping for the ability to explore more. While it has a sort of open stage presentation on the surface, all the levels in the demo were extremely linear, like big hallways. This made it really hard to miss optional stuff because the play space is so small. I kept getting these weird little fake achievements for doing side objectives, but they were all for super obvious stuff. Could be that I'm just way into Elden Ring at the moment, but I'm really concerned this will be dramatically too easy. And don't blame me for expecting a little more challenge, THEY put in the "wild" mode. Oh and for some reason all the FMV cutscenes had literally 0 sound effects. It was all just generic whimsical background music. In-game cutscenes had sound effects, so the entire presentation felt like some weird, inconsistent bootleg.

stepee Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I mean you lost 5% health in one of the opening stages of a kirby game, that’s totally a hard mode. Like most Kirby games the challenge will probably come with getting certain collectibles later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imthesoldier Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I had fun playing the demo. The art style is rather appropriate for the Kirby games, the music is perfect, and you can definitely tell it's using the Mario Odyssey engine, but with some tweaks. Technical details wise, 30fps is overall fine given the controls feel pretty responsive. Sure, some stutters here and there, but I'm not bothered by it, and most won't either I think. Given it's already been shown via those user agreements with Switch Sports utilizing AMD FSR, I wonder if the full game would have it? But for the demo at least, there's no AA applied, which has been typical for Nintendo even for their full releases. Difficulty wise, I started with the easy mode, but quickly went with the other mode, and still did not feel challenging. Although, you can expect for completionists, the game's difficulty will get harder as the game progresses. One thing I did notice, and quite enjoy was loading times were extremely quick, so this could definitely be a nice companion game for those quick 15-30min gaming sessions. I can see myself getting it, but I might hold off given my current back log of games. It's not a Day 1 purchase for me, but maybe a 6 month purchase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played through the demo levels twice (you get to try the powered up abilities on the second time) and unless you just don’t like Kirby games already, I can’t imagine the full game being shit. The move to 3D here feels really natural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
