I'm really excited for the amount of playable buddies in Kirby. If t h e l e a k s are true and you can play as all the helpers solo post-game then I know i'm going to be playing Star Allies for a long time to come. :3:

Mario Tennis also looks like a good time!

I'm playing the series for the first time and started with 1 knowing it would be hard to play 1 later if I played 2 first and was afraid 1 would look and feel dated but am happy to report it does not

You're gonna be blown away when you get around to playing Bayonetta 2. It's a beautiful game.

You also unlock a Boss Rush mode where you pick your starting power and three allies and are stuck with that team, then you take on boss waves. You do play as Kirby in this one. Both modes can of course be played co-op.

You can actually play as the helpers in Boss Rush mode as well. If you press X when selecting a power at the start you can switch between Kirby and the power's respective helper.

The bonus boss of the Guest Star mode in Kirby: Star Allies is one of the deepest cuts I've ever seen in a video game. I was absolutely floored when they revealed themselves. Can't believe they went there.

GreatGreen posted:

So the new Kirby game has a Time Trial mode? I'm confused.

Is skill range in this game high enough that there's a significant difference between the best and worst players? Are the friendly characters you get to group with reliable and consistent enough that any time trial or challenge runs wouldn't be hugely dependent on some AI behavioral RNG or something?

Time trial modes in Kirby are mostly just an excuse to put in playable P1 characters besides Kirby. The stopwatch element is mostly ancillary.

You can get the Plague Knight standalone DLC for Shovel Knight for less than a tenner if memory serves me right. It's super good!

It's not available on any service, but someone uploaded the whole series to Youtube. It's been there for years and has never been taken down, so I don't think Nintendo will mind if your kid watches it this way.

They really went above and beyond with the new dream allies in Kirby; they're all super fun! They even went so far as to remix some of the levels to make them better suited for the characters' movesets.

I was running into the same issue while playing Soul Melter. The solution is to take control of Chef Kawasaki and do the potluck move yourself.

It has happened several times when I'm dead centre in the middle of the star though. I guess it probably doesn't help that I've yet to have an opponent with more than a single bar on the connection indicator?

Remember that you can decline opponents and see how well you're connected to them when given the option! I realised this only after a few hours of playing and it could've prevented a lot of terrible matches from happening. :shepface:

A lot of 4/5 bar connections in Mario Tennis Aces are turning into 1 bar connections halfway through matches. I'd almost say that issue has to be on my end, but I'm in a wired connection, so I can't imagine that being the case. Either way, it's really bumming me out. I hope things improve before the end of the demo, otherwise I don't think I'll be buying the game. :(

One exception: I sometimes slip and double tap x when trying to do x button shots which the game interprets as the alternate input for trick shots. Please no let me turn that off.

It's super weird that they let you turn off using the right stick for trick shots but not X. X needs to be used for things besides trick shots but the right stick doesn't. Why?? :psyduck:

So colorblind people basically can’t play? I can’t distinguish blue and purple.

You can tell which is which based on the movement of the ball. Purple balls go in a high arc, blue balls stick closer to the net and don't really have an arc to them.
