The Kirby Series

[Avaitor]

It's probably gonna be a birthday gift for me, but wow it sounds good. A lot better than the Prime collection too, right?

[Eddy]

Yeah, the Prime Collection was just three games thrown together (granted, they added motion controls to Prime 1 and 2) but this is really the king of anniversary collections. They really cared about what they were doing.

And a pretty cool art booklet.

Also, I can't help but notice something about all of these lists.

Just reminds you of how you can't go wrong with Kirby.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Now that sounds cool. I'm glad Hal was able to make it.

[Kiddington]

Wow, sounds great. I'll be sure to ask for this for Christmas. 

Hey, just for curiosity's sake, what songs are on the soundtrack CD? The Kirby series really has a lot of great, underrated music, and it'd be cool if some of the good, yet lesser-known tracks (like Factory Investigation) made an appearance.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Great selection (but it needed all of KDL1... that soundtrack is top notch), I'm really happy to see how much effort was put into this!

[Kiddington]

Wow! 

Excellent selection indeed! Really, I am quite impressed. Those are some great tracks, a lot of which I wouldn't have expected to see; Factory Investigation, Last Iceberg... even 64's basic Pop Star theme is pretty great (as well as underrated). Glad to see so much effort went into this.

[Avaitor]

How can they forget this classic?

[talonmalon333]

There's not enough sucking up to Kirby Super Star. I could easily think of 10 tracks from that game that are good enough.

[Eddy]

I never played the "extra game" in Kirby's Dream Land until now.

HOLY SHIT.

[Spark Of Spirit]

I never played the "extra game" in Kirby's Dream Land until now.

HOLY SHIT.

Hence why it's my favorite pre-Superstar Kirby game. 

I tried doing it in one hit... I can't do it.

[Avaitor]

Oh wow, I joked about it, but this collection actually does have episodes of Right Back at Ya! I'm not interested in watching it again, but wow is this legit.

I just bought it today, even though I have to wait for my birthday in 2-3 weeks to actually play it. But it looks great!

[Commode]

I bought this game too, and this my first time playing Crystal Shards.  So far it's slow and boring as hell.  Does it get any better?

[Kiddington]

Yes.

Well, I mean, I like it. I dunno though; as far as Kirby games go, I will say it is a weak link when compared to the likes of Adventure, Super Star, etc.

I like the power combos myself, and the boss run (unlocked when you beat the game 100%) is a decent challenge. Just depends what you mean by better, though. I think it does, but that's just me.
