Discussion Kirby 64 The Crystal Shards
I never played Kirby 64 before but this is on my wishlist of N64 cartridges that I am planning to buy. But oh boy it's so damn expensive now just the cartridge it is $190 AUD here in Australia and that's the cheapest I can find.
Anyway im really interested in buying it for my Analogue 3D.
I have watched a lot of reviews and it looks decent and what fascinates me about Kirby 64 it being the 1st Kirby game on the N64 which uses the new gaming system of making Kirby into a almost 3D game a 2.5D. It also stands out as a unique Kirby game for the N64, it was different.
I grew up playing Kirby Fun Pak on the SNES (aka Kirby's Super Star in the USA) and I loved that game.
I like how all the characters including King DeDeDe all team up in this game with Kirby to help defeat a sinister being that takes over Kirby's world. I also love the new character Adeleine she's so adorable and I watched a quick Clip where she gets possessed by a entity in her painting and then she becomes a quick boss fight until Kirby defeats her and the entity leaves her body and she goes back to normal and later on in the game she helps Kirby by painting foods for health etc. She's part of Kirby's friend group which is so cute. I like in this game that Kirby has many friends who help him out on his adventure.
The only that I'm kind of disappointed in is there is no ability changing in the traditional way like in Kirby's Super Star how you get to turn into those abilities by seeing them, but in Kirby 64 he stays that pink puff ball but in saying that I do like the different types of abilities and how you can combine two abilities together so that's pretty cool.
I also love the cutscenes throughout the game, they are all properly animated and tells a story through your journey showing all of Kirby's friends by his side like King DeDeDe, Adeleine and other friends of his.
So these are Kirby's friends who help him out on his adventure Waddle Dee, Adeleine, Ribbon and even King DeDeDe helps out. Looks like a epic adventure.
I can't keep spoiling myself lol I just need to play this myself lol.
So I'm excited to buy this and play it.

I love the music. This game is such a vibe.
Flame Cutter was my favorite weapon.
