Kirby sucks harder than he’s ever sucked before.
It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what makes Kirby: Triple Deluxe a special game. It’s not particularly challenging, it doesn’t do anything revolutionary, but every time I play it, I can’t help but smile. When it comes down to it, I have to believe that the exceptional level design is the root of it all. HAL Laboratories plays with the depth offered by the 3DS and takes every opportunity to create interesting set pieces and enemies that crisscross the two planes within each level. Hidden secrets, intriguing puzzles, and fun use of Kirby’s abilities combined with these set pieces help make each and every level in the game special.
New ideas can cause some new problems.
One thing we don’t need on this planet is another multiplayer shooter franchise. That is, unless someone actually comes up with a new enough take on the concept to warrant our attention. Hybrid certainly has a couple of fresh ideas that had potential to shake things up, without turning the whole shooter concept upside down. The problem is, the new cover-to-cover mechanic also forces limits on the game in other ways that prevent it from being anything amazing.
Real Pokéfreaks now have four games to buy this fall.
If you’ve been struggling to keep up with the outpouring of Pokémon spin-offs, supplements, and apocryphal adventures, then get prepared to be completely overwhelmed. The next mainline games being released (Pokémon White Version 2 and Pokémon Black Version 2) were announced in February and many were shocked that they were destined for the DS platform instead of the newer 3DS. We have now received word from Nintendo that 3DS owners will be able to augment their Pokémon Black/White Version 2 games with the eShop exclusive title: Pokémon Dream Radar. Additionally, an exhaustive version of the free Pokédex 3D application will be available for purchase in the eShop – Pokédex 3D Pro – that will contain every Pokémon from the property’s enormous catalog.
I'm all for innovation, but not at the expense of core mechanics.
Sideway: New York is the kind of game that you really want to be good. Its visual charm and unique take on the platform genre make a great first impression, but a few technical issues and a repetitive soundtrack deliver a one-two punch from which it never fully recovers.
It's Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3's trailer for the New York Comic Con which introduces Nova and Phoenix Wright to the ensemble of playable characters, and also shows some features footage for its PlayStation Vita iteration.
