Kirby's Opening Title

This week, I decided to play a game I haven't played since I was young - Kirby Super Star. Just watching the opening videos brought back loads of gamer nostalgia. One thing I loved about this game was how you can choose what stages you want to play first, as well as try out the mini games. Each level has a beautiful look to it, and different challenged to overcome.

It took me a few minutes to remember the controls and what monsters gave what power, but after spending some time floating around and killing monsters, I was ready to play. I forgot you could turn the power you are currently using into a helper, so when I accidentally brought out a Waddle Doo I was a bit surprised. Then I remembered one of the biggest reasons I loved this game: the choice to co-op. As long as there are two controllers, a friend can play as the helper once it is brought out. There aren't many classic games with this feature, and I feel it fit perfectly into Kirby Super Star.

Waddle Doo!

This game was a big part of my childhood, and once I started playing I couldn't stop. Kirby Super Star has what I love most about Kirby- tons of different powers and abilities, a good story line, excellent music, the ability to co-op with a friend - and I wish they would either remake this or make a Kirby game to live up to it (if there is one, I haven't played it and please tell me about it). I'm happy I chose this game amazing game to remember from my past. If you haven't played it yet, get yourself a Super Nintendo, or even an emulator for your computer. This is a must play for any gamer, young or old.

I'll be publishing my first Gamer Nostalgia tomorrow. I'll be writing about Kirby Super Star on the Super Nintendo. I'm not reviewing games as much as trying to help gamers remember the classic games we loved, as well as show newer gamers some great games to play. I'll post it sometime tomorrow around 12-1 PM PST. I also have a friend collaborating with me to review the music to the games I play, so I'll link that as well.

Thanks guys.
