Thirteen new releases for the week of 12/04/06 photo

I don't know what it is about Kirby games that make me love them so much. The game play always gets repetitive after the first level but I always stick with it and keep on going. The latest edition to the series looks to be no different. A ton of new power ups to eat and upgrades to some of the old power ups. It’s looking to be another killer DS title.

Thirteen new games out this week for all of the platforms except the 360 (what’s up with that?! Regular Xbox and hell, even GameCube got a new title in this week!). Only a few really stick out. What's looking sw33t to you? 

By the way, what do you think Kirby is? Boy? Girl? Thingy?

Kirby has already been established to be male. Just... a really cute male.

And the game looks like a throwback to the Superstar game on the SNES. This is a good thing. A REALLY good thing. That game was awesome.

I just might get Castlevania PoR, it looks to be as good or even better than DoS was. I gotta get DoS first, though, don't have that one right now...

Wow, I was going to write off that Kirby game and just wait for Kirby Super Star on the Virtual Console but I can't do that after what I just saw. I want both. Kirby rocks hard. In fact, he's one of my favourite (Canadian spelling, get over it) Nintendo characters of all time. I kick ass as Kirby in Super Smash Brothers, mostly thanks to his stone and Final Cutter abilities.

Yeah, check out the videos on GameStop.com, they have some decent ones that don't look horrible like this one.

Oh, forgot to ask... any Raving Rabbid videos that show the gameplay NOT on the Wii?

Because the video you put up for the PS2 version is.

Kirby's not a boy. He's a *man*.

I'm going to be sad when nintendo's next portable system comes out and every great 2D franchise that had maintained on the gameboy and DS start getting the 3D makeover like the consoles.

IMO, I don't think that'll happen FrogMan. The GBA had minimal 3d capabilities, and the DS definitely does. However, games like Kirby and Castlevania and MegaMan have retained their 2d platformer style on the handheld market for the sole reason that it's exactly what handheld gamers want. I feel that the handheld market has basically become a haven for older games to get portable remakes or portable versions of classic games. Unfortunately, this also means that I feel that innovation in the world of 2d platformers will be gone. But it's a trade you need to make, innovation, or nostalgia.

deiga-the-semivaliant: ya, sorry. I know it's the Wii version. I couldn't find any PS2 specific ones. I'm sure GameSpot has some though. And again, I know the Far Cry one sucked too, wasn't trying at that point in the night.

I love Kirby. Ever since the NES platformer. That game looked amazing for an NES game!

@DeusPayne: You make a great point, hope you're right and the developers don't fuck it up.
