  • One of the 10 or maybe even 5 best GBA games. Note: I eventually found the sapphire spray paint in Cabbage Cavern, that's why you briefly see Blue Kirby.
    New SNES-related video every Tuesday, and something else (Genesis, Game Boy, whatever) on Thursdays

    Sorry about the mouse cursor, evidently I was over-served and forgot to uncheck "capture cursor" on OBS like an idiot and didn't even notice it while editing. It happens, especially when you're up to nearly 500 videos.

    Finally someone mentioned the massive open world aspect of this game.....
    People just cannot stop they said it's just another regular Kirby game....
    Like Judging a book by it's cover only. Not the actual content.

    When I was young, I always tought "Kirby is a serie for kids".
    Now I'm 37 and I play Kirby.

      Right. I always thought it was for girls and I paid it no mind whatsoever when I was a kid.

      “When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty, I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

    Bought a gba at a good will locally for like 10 bucks awhile back. Did t even look at it. When I got it home to check it out, noticed the amazing mirror was in the cartridge slot. So that was a good day

    I am a simple man, i see a new SNESdrunk video and i give a like before even watching.
    (I never got to play any of the kirby gba games and recently ive been buying old gba games i always wanted to play when i was a kid so GBA reviews are sooo welcome right now to me)

  • @MegaKirbySuperstar
    @MegaKirbySuperstar 5 лет назад +19

    Kirby Super Star is my absolute favorite Kirby game but Amazing Mirror was so fun too. It felt REALLY satisfying to beat. It did bum me out that the game lacked KSS's movesets for powers and the more variety KSS brought but otherwise it's an immense Great Cave Offensive and it's fun in it's own right.

    • @Hankubya
      @Hankubya 5 лет назад +1

      OMG I feel the same way! I miss the kss moveset but the game is still awesome.i lived the Smash ability too (:

    The Co-Op was my favorite on GBA, or close second to 4swords.
    But I got to play this with a buddy and its so much fun playing it over and over again since we took different paths. Seperate paths. Sometimes we fought all the bosses together. Sometimes we challenged each other to see who can beat more bosses.
    Never got to play more then 2 but 4 players im sure is fantastic. No idea if they up the difficulty with more players though

  • @koopakape
    @koopakape 5 лет назад

    I kinda stopped playing the Kirby games after the SNES era then went back years later to see what I'd missed, and wow. Like, no joke, the series has stayed incredibly fun and more than worth playing through as an adult -- they're just very well-made, fun video games. Highest recommendations to Amazing Mirror, Super Star Ultra, and Star Allies especially, but they're all great.

    Picked this up on a random holiday when I was little, on a whim, probably because my parents needed some peace. It absorbed me for years, since I was unable to interpret the map and loved messing with all the powers. I still fire it up on 3DS once in a while!

    I'm so glad he showcased this game. I'm a huge believer that this is one of the best Kirby games. It's not as easy as it seems to just slap Kirby in an open platforming world, but Flagship's prowess definitely shows here. Amazing Mirror was my first as well, but what are some other people's first Kirby games?

  • @LakituAl

    The gba kirby games are so good. I used to not care about kirby, aside from kirby on n64, but i tried the gba games as a kid and loved em. I played countless hrs of each, mostly amazing mirror. Sadly, though... none of the newer titles have appealed to me.

    @roy4173 5 лет назад +1

    Hey Snesdrunk, have you ever done a video explaining what you look for in old games or in retro style games? You're often working with fewer tools when it comes to decades-old titles so the criteria could sometimes be difficult to explain or pin point.
    Maybe you could explain some of the qualities that good games have and throw an example or two of games that performed well in each category or criteria, such as game length, challenge, innovation, etc.

    This is favorite kirby game released the amount of content is staggering compared to most if not all kirby titles and i know you said this one was easy but in comparison to alot of other kirby games id say this was was more on the challenging side in my opinion. I really miss this level design though I want another kirby game like this.

    @Michirin9801 5 лет назад

    I played this game a lot way back when, but strangely enough, I was never able to beat it, I got stuck, I explored every corner of the world that I could, but I was unable to progress any further than 4 mirror pieces if I remember correctly...
    There was a puzzle in the Lava area that required multiple Kirby's to suck up a big stone block in order to seal a constantly erupting volcano which formed a wall of lava, but it didn't matter how much I tried, the AI Kirby just wouldn't help me no matter what, and I was unable to find any alternate paths, at that point I was convinced I needed multiplayer to even be able to continue...

    I love Kirby, I just think the stage layouts sometimes dont make the best use of the abilities and they really should have more difficulty options to increase. The special challenge modes in the Kirby compilation on the Wii were the closest to something I would love to play, just without the time-limits and more fleshed out.

    • @MegaKirbySuperstar
      @MegaKirbySuperstar 5 лет назад

      Yeah the powers are definitely better in KSS. In fact KSS would have the best powers as a Kirby game until Return to Dreamland YEARS later finally. I feel like movesets really add depth and let you run levels in a way that's more fun. It also changed boss rushing for Kirby.

  • @imusingtiltcontrols9470
    @imusingtiltcontrols9470 4 года назад

    On one hand this game looks amazing, on the other, I didn’t care for the multiplayer focused gameplay just like with Kirby’s Dreamland 3. It had the Gooey mechanic which just got in the way an was just generally annoying. That’s why I preferred Kirby’s Dreamland 2 and Adventure as good games to represent the older Kirby games. Nowadays, I just play Kirby Planet Robobot. Another Kirby game came out recently, a multiplayer based Kirby game that was considered overpriced by most people. Excluding Super Star, people will most of the time, always play the more single player oriented Kirby games to have a nicer experience. If it weren’t for the emphasis on multiplayer, I would have already had a lot of fun playing it through to the end.
