RE: Game Vs. Game! This week: Kirby NiD Vs. Kirby atAM - E-Man - 04-12-2015
Out of curiosity, why did you say that Kirby: Super Star Ultra is worse than the original? I won't chain you down for saying that you like the original overall, but I think that remake did a lot right. It improved the graphics, added more games and missions, kept some instances of the original game intact (i.e. the original minigames), and I think it barely touched the layouts of the levels. I'll understand if you don't like how some of the sprites look, the sound and music are inferior (especially due to the limitations of the DS sound card), it uses too much of the modern Kirby aspects, or the full motion videos are not your thing.

I didn't say it's worse than the original, I said it'd the worse remake, as in, relative to KNiD.
That being said I do think it's worse than the original KSS but that's just subjective. The graphics and music are worse to me and kill a lot of the charm of the original game.
(But to be fair I haven't played Ultra enough to really make that judgement so that's only based on just a few minutes of Spring Breeze gameplay)

I thought it was okay - the music does get dumbed down a little but who cares? It's nowhere as worse than GBA ports of SNES games (see Donkey Kong Country 2 GBA)

What's funny is that still doesn't sound terrible (...for GBA music? But still).

in comparison to the original, the gba version sounds like a kiddy (kong) version.
plus, in the gba version, everything is raised up an octave, removing the dark, ambient sounds that the original was good in showcasing.

Amazing Mirror had a lot of exploring... I felt a lot of accomplishment looking around and finding the other worlds, the different things I unlocked. Nightmare in Dreamland just kinda felt really linear, yes. It was interesting and had secrets but it didn't have that awesome exploration feel that I got out of Amazing Mirror.
RE: Game Vs. Game! This week: Kirby NiD Vs. Kirby atAM - Gors - 04-13-2015
This time's competition seems a little unfair - after all it's ultimately a NES game against a GBA game. I'll pick Amazing Mirror while not calling NiD shit, because both are great games. The NES game was one of the first games I've ever played in my life and seeing it in prettier graphics feels so good.
(not that the NES one is ugly, no - it's easily the best looking NES game I've ever played)

I never actually bought NiDL, but I love the ever-loving shit out of Kirby's Adventure. I like Amazing Mirror a lot, but I never got to play the game to it's full multiplayer potential, so I feel like my experience had a hit to it. (That is assuming there WAS multiplayer, I might be mistaking what somebody else in the thread said)
I'd probably lean towards Adventure/NiDL, especially because of the Meta Knight mode in the GBA game. Hell, I'd love a hack that retroactively made Meta Knight playable in original Kirby's Adventure.

I think the NES version is better actually, maybe not from a technical perspective but I think the NES version looks and sounds better for what it is.
Adventure has amazing color choices

In some instances. Other times, like the boss room with the hammer guy, it looks like Kirby is in psychedelic land. I like both games, naturally since they're one in the same (Adventure and its remake), but the GBA version adds an extra layer of polish and smoothness that can't be ignored. As for Amazing Mirror, I've only played it briefly before, and not multiplayer, but I found it to be just as easy as the other Kirby games.
RE: Game Vs. Game! This week: Kirby NiD Vs. Kirby atAM - Helmo - 04-14-2015
The room with Bonkers looks way better than the gba version :/
RE: Game Vs. Game! This week: Kirby NiD Vs. Kirby atAM - Koh - 04-14-2015
I believe different would be a better word to use here. The NES version just looks like a wild mishmash of colors to me, with no rhyme or reason; like a rainbow just vomited all over the map. The GBA versions just make Kirby look like he's in actual worlds, and not on some kind of checkerboard or playing around in someone's quilt.

They're called "complementary colors", not all stages use them but even some of the ones that don't still have great color choice. It's meant to be whimsical it is "Dream Land", those segments remind me of a toy-box or nursery. Secondly you know there's way more diversity in backgrounds right??
Tell me these aren't "actual worlds" http://www.spriters-resource.com/nes/kirbyadv/
RE: Game Vs. Game! This week: Kirby NiD Vs. Kirby atAM - recme - 04-14-2015
my apologies of picking a one-sided vs.. i really couldnt think of other kirby games at the time, so i just thought of these two games, since they were both on GBA. i guess a better candidate would be kirby's return to dream (separating the words) land, but i was afraid of comparing games with a 10 year difference. then again, that logic doesnt really work considering that i just did that with kirbys adventure and kirby and the amazing mirror...
that being said, i thought of a better kirby topic, but i guess thatll come in like, 3-4 weeks worth of this. i wouldnt want to flood this thread with my favorite ip...
(then again, this thread was flooded with smash bros last week...
)
