Okay, so people are complaining that this isn't "CUTE" enough... wtf, it's super cute! I think this is better then the Japanese ones, Monstar is so cute here!! Sure it might not be crazy, but I don't think it would appeal to a large audience if it was goofy (in the US) like it would in Japan. (and if it was dubbed you'd complain about the voices...) Also, you people act like Starfy never gets mad. He gets a mad look when in Monstar form, it's appropriate. 6.6

Heh.

It's kind of amusing that Stafy's getting the same "MAKE HIM MANLIER!" treatment that Kirby gets.

I.E., Japanese commercial = Super Cute Happy Fun, American commercial = Apocalypse fighting giant monsters fire breathing epic music...

Also, America = Angry Eyes!

@1983parrothead a kirby rip-off. the powers thing looks like a lot of fun, and im sure i would enjoy it. but i just so happen to be addicted to japan AND gameboys. i like ds too, but i think i wanna try his first game first. and ur probably gunna say, "oh go try it on virtual boy" (haha i mean visual boy :P im never gunna play virtual boy, it sucks :P) but i like cuddling up underneath my covers with my gameboy better than sitting on a table and making my eyes go crappy on a computer.

@1983parrothead i like both sonic and mario. im sure i would like starfy too, and i already love kirby. i never even said kirby was better. im just saying that when i first saw this commercial in 2009, i thought he was a kirby rip-off. this is america's first impression of starfy. if we had been introduced to the older games first, then i would have known all about starfy, loved his games, and realized there was a new innovation in the series. but,of course, i lived i america, so it looked like

@1983parrothead no it's not. the commercial made it look like a weak kirby clone. when i saw this commercial, i had no idea who he was, but since he was the same starfy but in a different form, i assumed that he was a kirby rip-off. now that i know all about his games, i know that he's not a kirby rip-off and the developers were trying something new. if u look at starfy's past games, you'll see that he doesnt transform in any of them. i might get this game, but the older ones look a tad better.

@Hmmfomtgal That's like saying Donkey Kong Country ripped off Super Mario Bros. without knowing the concept was created by the same company in association with another.

@AlgusUnderdunk It's not so much "make it seem manlier" marketing as it is "don't judge it just because it's cute" marketing
