I haven't played a Kirby game since the original, but I keep hearing how incredible the series is! What games should I check out/avoid? This one looks awesome!

Definitely go try Canvas Curse. They're really ALL good, except maybe the console ones.

Snatchmo's name is actually T.A.C. Thats because he is a cat with the copy ability. Also when Kirby has his power he kind of scans things. Puns! Yeah, I played a lot of Kirby Super Star on the SNES.

Kirby's Epic Yarn is phenomenal, if you have a Wii.

@Googly: I went through three pages of comments looking for one mentioning Massive Attack. That's too many pages.

That was actually one of my first thoughts as well. Kirby Mass Attack almost serves as a reminder of how awesome the DS was in comparison to the current state of the 3DS.

I think the last of the Nintendo Pinball games was a Metroid Prime Pinball game on the DS

@Fripplebubby: Clearly people need to step their game up and listen to Mezzanine or 100th Window.

Kirby's Dream Land 2 is one of the first games that I achieved 100% completion. Great video please do more.

I'm Nintendo's battered wife and Kirby is the chocolate and roses. I'll give you a second chance Nintendo. Just keep giving me my Kirby.

@Googly: That you've mentioned 100th Window over Blue Lines is making me cry.

I would imagine this is what professional StarCraft players who use the Zerg do just before brushing their teeth in the morning, to sharpen their Zergling rush micro skills.

My favorite level so far is the one with the balloon ride- thats just fun stuff. So many levels, all of them so different and interesting.

Kirby always makes for great quick looks - totally getting this. Every Kirby game - especially the "experimental Kirby" (i too was convinced of the DS because of Canvas Curse, and Epic Yarn was one of my favorite games of last year) - is worthy a purchase in my book.

Have no idea what you're talking about concerning the 3DS displaying DS games worse than the DS/DS Lite/DSi/DSi XL though. It's running the same hardware in there; they look identical. Except for the horizontal letterboxing on the top screen, which doesn't matter. Another (small) example of Giant Bomb staffers (although Jeff and Vinny never do it) just bullsh*tting. Like Brad in the RE Code Veronica X HD Quick Look, where he talks about the in-game graphics looking great but the pre-rendered stuff not holding up - some giant bomb people are just fucking liars sometimes.

Mezzanine is where it's at. Everything after is fairly mediocre.

But my goodness, this game look adorable.
