Kirby & The Amazing Mirror looks friggin' amazing

[A Black Falcon]

Kirby Pinball is definitely one of the best of the non-platformer Kirby games. Really good game... Block Ball is also based on a classic premise (Arkanoid/Breakout), but while it's a pretty good game it just isn't quite as fun as other spinoffs. And it also seems a bit less like 'Kirb'. Sure, in Kirby Pinball he doesn't transform. But this was the second Kirby game, after Kirby 1, and Kirby's Adventure and its transformations thing hadn't come out yet, so that's okay... :)

Block Ball felt more like a gimmick... like 'Breakout, with Kirby'. Pinball was better. Tilt n Tumble was fun too, but also didn't feel particularly Kirby-like a lot of the time. For instance it had that stupid balloon thing or whatever it was for a boss and not normal Kirby bosses, and you didn't exactly do much transforming... but the main problem with that game was the lack of any semblance of a difficulty level. Pinball keeps you going because the game saves highscores. Only four highscores, but it's better than nothing...
