Message: [QUOTE="Ikagura, post: 257625, member: 6930"] Sorry but ambition doesn't systematically equal "quality" nor "great" game. Also I'd still argue that Wonders is different enough from NSMB and Planet Robobot from RtDL to be seen as extremely similar sequels. On a side note, while I understand how good it was for a 16-bits game, (old school) Kirby fans are overrating Superstar a bit too much. Yes it's a great showcase of Sakurai's game design that would lay the groundwork for Smash Bros, especially the Subspace Emissary (I noticed that when I saw that teleport effect that the second player had when going too far from the camera) yet it clearly shows that it doesn't have a single cohesive story/gameplay but more akin to a compilation of small games. I understand that philosophy but I would've rather seen one big adventure with one leading story than a remake of Kirby's Dream Land (minus Castle Lololo that merged with Float Island), a racing platforming game and a game about fetching treasures. Only Meta Knight's Revenge and Milky Way Wishes felt like proper adventures to the point I'm wondering why they couldn't have built a full game about these (especially with MWW's deluxe ability system). Return to Dreamland actually took the best elements from both Sakurai and Shimomura's game design for Kirby and created one big story without going all over the place. Playing the Deluxe remake on the Switch simply confirmed that it was indeed the best refinement of the formula of the game. Telling that Kirby has "regressed" because it didn't try to reinvent the wheel but rather make it turn better is a bit disingenuous imo. [/QUOTE]
