For this segment we’re moving from the wood-paneled Atari 2600 to Nintendo’s first home console, the Nintendo Entertainment System. This system is often remembered for not only saving the industry from the doldrums of the crash of 1983 but also launching many of Nintendo’s flagship franchises. Classics like Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Metroid and Kid Icarus all debuted on the machine and helped launch series that continue to define Nintendo to this day. One series however that didn’t make its debut on the NES but still left quite the impression is everyone’s favorite puffball – Kirby!"
"In the Game Concepts category, I'll be looking back at how I came up with the ideas for each of my games. For this second entry, we'll look at Kirby's Adventure.
Kirby's Adventure is the first game where Kirby had the power to copy enemy abilities. I'll talk about where this and some of the other ideas in the game came from, and touch upon the circumstances that led to its creation."
And presto, Kirby changed the industry!
Ther 35th anniversary of the NES is finally upon us and it's time to take a look back at the best classics you can play on Switch.
What a coincidence I just bought it’s remake, Kirby’s Nightmare in Dreamland on Wii U’s VC to reexperience the awesome game
“Classics like Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Metroid and Kid Icarus all debuted on the machine and helped launch series that continue to define Nintendo to this day.”
Nobody is saying Kid Icarus has helped define Nintendo to this day.
Still have yet to own this on original hardware, would love to obtain it (would be the fourth time along with Wii VC, Wii U VC, Kirby's Dream Collection on Wii)
Played this game to no end during my gameboy days.
