I was sorta excited for DKC returns, but I spent the last 3 weekends playing DKC 1 and 2 and getting my ass handed to me.

Don't you look forward to doing that again?

GG is a pussy now. He used to be a Rugby playing stud that shat in your mouth if you looked at him funny. Now he can't even crap in the toilet.

NGamer - review scores

So I guess NGamer doesn't like sticking it to the man by putting up Stride Gum ads and liberating Wendy's?

88 MB ought to be enough for anybody.

Seriously though, how much RAM does the 3DS have?

By comparison the 360 and PS3 have 500 MB's of RAM, 88 is nothing these days.

I think the 3DS has 68 and sure there's some great looking stuff but it could be much better and that's likely the reason that Epic's engine might not be compatible with the 3DS. Even the iPhone or whatever has more RAM so why not put more in.

360 has 512M, the PS3 has 256M.  iPhone 3 had 128M, iPhone 4 has 512M.  Why not put more in?  Keep in mind that the iPhone 4 unlocked launched at $549 for the cheapest version in Canada.

RAM is relatively cheap, but for a company as cost-careful as Nintendo, they don't want extra anything.  If you threw 4GB of RAM in the 3DS, it would be a waste, because the bottlenecks would be elsewhere.  Just as if you put an i7 in there, the bottleneck would be elsewhere.  It's no good going overkill on one part of the system.

I want to see some later levels, all the ones I've seen are too simplistic, have too much hand holding or too many nearly control-free sections with all sorts of loops, super jumps, rails, etc. Coupled with the homing attack where you just tap a button repeatedly to get through enemies and, well, where's the gameplay? It's almost like a long chain of QTEs... And they know it cos half the time the camera zooms in to show Sonic and not what's ahead.

Haven't played Unleashed have you. A lot of the gameplay comes from perfecting the execution of the level. The video showed many paths and areas that could be reached with the perfect timing. Look at how well the player played and didn't even get an S rank. The game under a good player does look like its simple, but it takes a ton of practice to get to that point. I know that in Unleashed it took every single bit of my skill as a gamer, my very best reflexes, to get the S ranks. It is intense.

Now, through first-hand experience I can confirm: The amount of Happiness this new Kirby game will be bring you will be...

*resist! resist! I can't... I can't resist...!*

Epic!

It is masterful in its simplicity. It just simply brings a smile to your face. Seeing the fabric world in motion is incredible!

The story is typical Kirby, but the gameplay is not!

Kirby is transported to Patch Land because he Ate an Evil Wizard's Metamato. There, sadly, he loses his ability to suck as wind passes right through his Yarn body! He is equipped with a Lasso instead which can be used to grab enemies, grapple points, zippers and other objects in the background, as well!

Seems the Metamato Kirby ate ALSO gave him the power to transform into other shapes "seamlessly" as the game puts it. Double tapping in one direction turns him into a Speeding Car. Jumping in water turns him into a mini-submarine. Pushing down while in the air turns him into the familiar Weight. Pushing the jump button a second time while in the air turns Kirby into a Parachute so he floats slowly down and can control his direction some more. There are other shapes like the Giant Tank that are introduced at certain points in the stages just to break up the gameplay and give you something fun and different to do!

That's not TOTALLY necessary however, as the game in itself gives you quite a bit to do on its own! You can earn one of Four Medals in each level dependant on your Gem collecting. In each level there are Three Treasures to find as well. One is the CD for that stage and the other Two (I believe) are pieces of Furniture you can use to Decorate the Apartment Prince Fluff gives you to live in while staying in Patch Land. This (totally Gay) diversion is SURE to capture the attention of all the (totally Gay) fans of Animal Crossing out there!

It's just one of those TOTALLY RELAXED gaming experiences! The very epitome of a "Nintendo" game, it can be enjoyed by a Youngster who will just be awed by the fanciful world --OR-- the seasoned Gamer who will NEED to collect every last gem, CD, piece of Furniture... Log each and every enemy, find every last piece of Fabric... and 100% each and every Last Stat the game thoughtfully tracks for you.

If you have the Cash, do NOT hesitate! This is the kind of game the inner-Six-Year-Old in you is YEARNING to play!
