RetroforceGO! episode 66: Kirby, Halloween and Craineum! photo

Happy Halloween, listeners! We decided to post the show a little early today so that our babbling doesn't impede upon your candy gobbling or devil worship or whatever it is you're up to this fine, spooky Friday. Let's get to it with some highlights:

  • Count Chadula
  • Earthworm Jim is awesome
  • Craineum is here!
  • So is his son!
  • DEDEDE
  • Kirby sucks and blows
  • Chad's list o' the week
  • Vote Dedede in '08
Check out the new episode right here, and remember to watch either the Charlie Brown or Garfield Halloween special tonight, if not both. Ghostbusters is also acceptable.

You couldn't copy powers at all in Kirby's Dreamland. That didn't come until Kirby's Adventure on the NES. Just sucking and blowing in the initial Game Boy game.

-Geordi La Forge is the Star Trek character with the visor.

-Refrigerator Kirby is Ice+Lightning powers. Ice+Rock gives you Curling Stone Kirby.

I know its an old GameFAQs meme about Smash Bros. Brawl, but...

Sakurai: *Laughs*

--------

Kirby's Adventure was the first Kirby game to allow Kirby to copy powers. Dreamland 2 was the first one to have Kirby's animal friends.

The Mic power was a three time use power. He would walk around normally but be blinking. The first use, he pulls out a megaphone and a baseball cap and yells into it; the second time headphones and a mike; and the third (like you remember) the mowhawk and rockstar mike. And each use was screen clearing, and highly useful.

The best earthworm jim is still earthworm jim special edtion on sega CD and PC.

.
I rented the snes ,genesis earthworm and bought the sega cd version huge improvement it is the only one i still play, kinda like how ecco the dolphin and mikey mainia are so much better with CD sound and extra content.

But that will never show up on wii VC ever but it should.


It is the like the genesis earthworm jim on steroids.

there is also 2 extra levels and ending content during the credits on the sega cd that is funny as hell to listen to and almost nobody has herd it.

and i doubt the 32-bit saturn and ps1 versions of earthworm jim 2 will ever show either they are also far better than the 16-bit carts.


and only people who played and finshed it will this line make any sense.

and speaking of ecco the dolphin....


on wii there is no sega cd emulation...

But

Why the hell did sega put out the lame genesis version on xbox live arcade and not the sega cd version? What they can put the golden axe arcade version on but not the sega CD version of ecco the dolphin that nobody got to see and is far better?


All the more reason to hang on to my sega cdx.

Great ep guys. I love the Kirby series, and the Megaman costume kid was extremely sickeningly cute. I hope Chad sees this:

Finally got to listening today, you guys need to have a live chat room or something because I always want to start talking about the games too when I heard you guys mention things like Kirby's Tilt and Tumble. I love titles like that with weird control schemes and TnT was SO well done. I specifically bought an original GBA as opposed to an SP for that game (I missed the GBC) If you've never played it try to find a copy at your local gamestop before they stop carrying the old gb and gbc games.

I got Kirby's Tilt and Tumble.



Though I have just about every kiby game even the bad ones like kirbys air ride, and the horrible n64 game.



the exact same type accelerometer that is used in the wiimote is soldered onto it's main board.

the cart is also very pink and see through plastic.


The only way the accelerometer dead point detects 100% correctly is in a gameboy color, even the calibration don't help all the mach and the funny shape of all other game boys don't work with the game.


whne you flip the gameboy up to jump it works better on a gameboy color unit, that is why I still keep a few around.


It don't work at al in a GBa sp
you can almost get it to work by fooling the acclermeter to work by holding it the opisite direction with the calibration is started

then when you flip the sp back over it is aligned correctly.

\
a remake ofr wiiware would work with no issues at all

and the only problem kirby tilt and tumble after you screw with the calibation on a sp after that is the controls are reversed up is down down is up . lef is right

but it is still totaly playable I finished the game on a BRight screen SP, since I could nto stand to look at those old non light models anymore.
