\"KIRBYCLAY\"<\/a>A new Kirby game is being released this week: Kirby and the Rainbow Curse.\u00a0 I\u2019m always excited when a new Kirby game comes out.\u00a0 I like Kirby games better than Mario titles!\u00a0 And usually when a new Kirby game comes out, I like to write a blog about Kirby.\u00a0 So this time I\u2019m going to write about my LEAST favorite Kirby games.\u00a0 Why so negative?\u00a0 Well, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is actually a sequel to Kirby Canvas Curse, one of the games on this list.\u00a0 But don\u2019t worry.\u00a0 None of the games on my list are BAD games.\u00a0 There\u2019s no such thing as a bad Kirby game.\u00a0 I just like these games less than others.\u00a0 And this list isn\u2019t in any particular order either.\u00a0 So let\u2019s roll!<\/p>\n

Kirby\u2019s Dream Land<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019d think that since I\u2019m such a big Kirby fan now, I\u2019d be sold on the first game.\u00a0 But that wasn\u2019t the case when it first came out.\u00a0 Sure, I was interested in it since it was made by the same folks who did Adventures of Lolo, one of my favorite NES series at the time (Lolo was even in the first Kirby game).\u00a0 And I also appreciated that they made a platformer that all ages can play and enjoy.\u00a0 But at the time when this game came out, I was a still a kid with a limited income.\u00a0 So I didn\u2019t want to spend money on a game that I had to pay full price for, and beat quickly and get tired of it.\u00a0 Luckily, years later I did borrow the game from a friend and beat both quests in an hour, so I\u2019m glad I didn\u2019t get it after all.\u00a0 And even though Kirby didn\u2019t have his trademark copy ability in the first game, you could tell the gears were turning in the developers\u2019 heads even at such an early start.<\/p>\n

Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This game isn\u2019t really bad, more so it was disappointing to me.\u00a0 We were finally getting a Kirby game on the Game Boy Advance (it had been a long time since a new Kirby game came out).\u00a0 And it turns out that it\u2019s just a remake of the NES Kirby\u2019s Adventure that I played to death already.\u00a0 Don\u2019t get me wrong, Kirby\u2019s Adventure is one of the best Kirby games out there, I was just hoping for something new for Kirby\u2019s first GBA outing.\u00a0 Luckily, soon after we did get a great new Kirby GBA game with Kirby and the Amazing Mirror.<\/p>\n

Kirby\u2019s Block Ball<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s basically BreakOut or Arkanoid with Kirby.\u00a0 Which seems like a good idea, since Kirby is a ball and all.\u00a0 This is one of the few challenging Kirby games to me.\u00a0 One, I\u2019m not very good at those paddle and block breaking games.\u00a0 I love \u2018em, I\u2019m just not very good at them!\u00a0 Also, you can\u2019t carry over extra lives to new stages in Block Ball, which makes starting a new area extra tough.<\/p>\n

Kirby\u2019s Avalanche<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s just Puyo Puyo, which isn\u2019t a bad puzzler by any means.\u00a0 SEGA did the same thing with Dr. Robotnik\u2019s Mean Bean Machine.\u00a0 It just doesn\u2019t really have anything to do with Kirby or Sonic.<\/p>\n

Kirby Canvas Curse<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A lot of people name Canvas Curse as one of their favorite Kirby games, early DS games, or just creative games in general.\u00a0 But I don\u2019t know, it just didn\u2019t click with me for some reason.\u00a0 It\u2019s hard to explain.\u00a0 I had a hard time with the controls, and I felt that other early DS games made better use of the touch screen.\u00a0 Like Pac-Pix.\u00a0 Even Miyamoto said he wished he would\u2019ve thought of Pac-Pix first!\u00a0 But I will say that I did play through Canvas Curse, so don\u2019t think I didn\u2019t give it a fair shake.<\/p>\n

But just because I didn\u2019t like Canvas Curse as much as others, it doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m going to go into Rainbow Curse with a negative attitude.\u00a0 Now that I\u2019ve had years of touch screen gaming under my belt with the DS, 3DS, iPad, and Wii U, I may do better with the controls this time.\u00a0 Plus, I really like the clay animated graphics in Rainbow Curse.\u00a0 I have a strong interest in clay animation and stop motion, and I even took a class on it once.\u00a0 I liked it in the 16- and 32-bit days when many developers were using clay animation for graphics and non-computer generated 3-D models.\u00a0 I\u2019d love to see that style make a comeback.\u00a0 Clayfighter is due for a remake, wouldn\u2019t you agree?<\/p>\n

Anyway, so those are my least favorite Kirby games.\u00a0 In the comments section, let me know if there are any Kirby games you don\u2019t like, and if you\u2019re looking forward to Rainbow Curse, too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
