Whats the lore behind Kirby's golf

It's literally Dreamland 1 retold

Only did you know it introduces Kirby's relative Keeby?

When Kirby was first pitched he was a placeholder graphic. A drawing on a napkin. But Miyamoto took a shine to it due to how easy it was to draw and asked Sakurai to keep it. The problem then came that nobody knew what color he was supposed to be. Miyamoto and Sakurai actually fought about it at this point- Sakurai wanted pink and Miyamoto wanted yellow. The game was about to come out and the artist didn't know which to go with so that's why he's white on the first boxart.

By the time Dream Course came out they needed two colors so as a playful nod to the dispute P2 was made yellow and is referred to by that name.

Keeby has never been referred to again v:v:v

Owlboy is cute, but something feels 'off' about the controls to me. There's this weird distinction between walking and flying that feels completely superfluous, and some actions transition from walking-mode to flying-mode automatically and some don't. The game seems like it would be way smoother if it was just flying all the time, in the style of good ol' Aquaria.

Edit: Also, the day-night cycle thing is just eye-squintingly annoying, since it seems like it mostly just turns the brightness down instead of actually doing anything interesting. Compare to Shantae's "night" stages, which play with the palettes and backgrounds but don't just make things dimmer.

Man, I remember ordering the import version of the original back before NOA decided to bring the game over.

Japanese version of N64 Smash had better sound effects than the American version.

This is a stupid question but you can swap game cartridges while on the home screen right? You don't need to completely power down the Switch?

how does the smash bros series tie into kirby lore?

Also is there like, a decent video series covering the lore? I would be down to watch that since I kinda don't have the time to play two dozen odd Kirby games right now.

Robobot was probably one of the best games nintendo released and this is it's follow up so fans like me are hoping it lives up to it.

Ever or just as a Kirby game because if it's the former... well I may just dust off the ole 3DS for it.

I liked the first three hours. I hated the hours after that so much I stopped playing. I can’t remember the last time I started to actively hate a game so much I did not want to keep playing. (This was on PC).

anybody know if Fifa 18 on switch is a straight port or a step down from the full version? its hard to tell from screenshots

afaik I've already played it on origin access for like £5 but it'll be something to keep in mind for Fifa 19 if its an actual port.
every year or two I go through the career mode on those as Barnet, the terrible football team i used to go see as a kid and get them from league 2 to the premier league and beyond

fifa manager career is secretly one of the best strategy rpgs around but none of the systems make sense (the best way to level up players is to send them on loan then immediately cancel them until they come back with a specific phrase under the name for example) if EA gave a poo poo they'd have an really, really good game on their hands but I guess the lootbox mode makes so much money they dont give a poo poo about much else anymore.
picking a dogshit team, firing everyone and replacing them with randomly generated minimum wage 15 year olds who gradually become world superstars rules.

They did release a dreamland historia of sorts a handful of years back actually :v:
But it's only in Japanese, is pretty rare and not a lot of scans or anything are kicking about.


Has fun facts though :v:v


He kinda laid off him recently. Triple Deluxe was his cousin that was made specifically to kill him, Robobot he was brainwashed into a murder tree that shot drills bombs and more at him and Star Allies the tree is possessed

For some reason

Isn't the thing affecting Dreamland this time is what Kirby does this game to make friends except on a greater scale? I thought that was the reason along with Dedede going swole.

Speaking of Bayonetta how does the Switch unlock stuff? Timer that ends at midnight like the PS4 does or does somebody need to flip a switch and it'll be locked just At Some Point on friday?

With Bayonetta it should be available to play at midnight in your local primary timezone if you pre-loaded it off the eShop. If you're in the US, this is Midnight Eastern time (so 9pm Pacific). If you're in Europe, I think it unlocks at midnight Central European time if you live in that region, or midnight GMT if you live in UK or Ireland.

Usually preloads come out midnight EST, yeah. Non-preloadable games go on the eshop at noon EST.

Dandara was a preload and did not come out until 10am day-of.

If it's available for pre-purchase/pre-load (which Bayo is), it's almost certainly going to be available to play at midnight.

Keep in mind that you have to use a regular oven. The matte coating doesn’t respond well to microwaves. Unfortunately this also prevents you from using your microwave oven to recharge the battery like you can with your iPhone.
