[ustream] Discussing Design in Kirby's Adventure: Vegetable Valley

[FMagl]

I have never beaten this game. That one scrolling sequence? Always ran out of time.

[KittyCatTV]

I grew up with this game and it is one of my favorite games of all time. I have seen clips from the remake and it is failureeee compared to the original. Also, I played Kirby's Epic Yarn, and I like this much better. It just has better gameplay, imo. Kirby's Epic Yarn ended up annoying me, although I'm still glad I bought it... I guess.

[pokefan271]

is this gonna be like one of your lets plays?=3

[MasterZebulin]

You know you get points for running into enemies, right?

[SkieBluFox]

I wish they'd bring back the Egg Throwing mini-game. That one was always my favorite. :3

[Ariamaki]

I would love to see more of these, as well as video announcements for when you get onto UStream-- I always manage to miss the streams :(

[LegendoftheSkies]

Awesome.

I have to say my favorite is Super Star though. Could be because that's the one I grew up playing.

[MagikGimp]

Wait, so arguably the best design-concept game of 2010 was Kirby's Epic Yarn and you're talking about one of its long-lost relatives? OK but I just had to point that out.

[Callmevlad911]

I still have this game, even if my NES doesn't work I'm keeping it. Classic. I got the GBA remake, but its not as charming, and the play control doesn't feel right w/the new art. It looks too surreal, or something. I am glad to see this game on the channel!

[vweet]

Did they remake this game for the GBA? because I remember playing a kirby game like this but not on the NES.

[Madamluna]

@vweet Yeah, it was remade as Nightmare in Dreamland for the GBA. They changed the art direction entirely, though, and not to its benefit. There's an article about Kirby's Adventure on Gamespite that puts it really well.

[viciousweasel]

Something I noticed for the first time: in the room you're in at 8:26, some of the checkerboard tiles in and around the water are slightly distorted to help move your eyes towards the entrance and exit. Pretty neat!

[Madamluna]

@viciousweasel That's a really good find! Good eye!

[MGNSMG]

Wow, lots of things I missed before. Never noticed those white flowers around 7:38, very nice. The amount of difference from the first game and this one is amazing, although mostly in the mechanics that it allows for.

[Kato86]

Aww, childhood memories. Watching how easy this is I feel I really sucked as a kid when it comes to video games.

[Fjarhultian]

Poor Whispy.

[AmusedChicken]

Wait... is DeceasedCrab your brother???

[Sangohan404]

@AmusedChicken In some sort of way, let's just say that.

[Arcterion]

@AmusedChicken ... I never even considered that possibility. o.O Friends? Sure. Roommates? Possibly. Lovers? Who knows.

But siblings? Derp, brainfart.

[Jalathas]

What was the end of DC's joke? I couldn't tell if it was a non-joke or a horrible pun that I couldn't quite make out.

[Madamluna]

@Jalathas "What does DeceasedCrab say at a renaissance faire?"

"Huzzah?"

"No, 'prithee.'" (or "privy" it's hard to tell which)

[BionicLightandShadow]

wow, i've never played this game, but i have played leter Kirby games, and i'm kinda surpirsed at how the same music (or atleast base tone, obviously its been remixed/updated for the new hardware of the games platform) has still been used through practically all of them, and its just as ear-wormy every time

that is a very pleasant surprise

[bubbajimmy8]

Bathroom time. 

[kingzombiejo]

aww this game was my childhood the very first game i completed 100% ^_^ thanks luna for this trip down memory lane

[ShadyMonkeyH]

What was the pun?

[Drakzeel]

I fucking loved this game as a kid.

[Madamluna]

@Drakzeel This game is my childhood. Replaying it, the amount of influence it had over my color sense is astounding.

[TheRealBurninator]

What's this?? Madamluna playing something not totally obscure and weird? Whoa! Next I'll be seeing DC doing a Let's Play of Donkey Kong Country!

[molluskscommawethe]

being dopey instead of adorable never really payed off for Lolo. i think i like those games better, though.

[redshojin]

DC is a sly dog... snatching up a girl like Luna. Good job!

[retrogamer32X]

first.

Also

"Imma go to the bathroom!

Should i wait for you?

Nope!"
