Review - Kirby: Triple Deluxe
Although having the best part of three decades of gaming experience under my belt, there are some iconic franchises that I’ve somehow managed to avoid having all that much contact with, and the Kirby series is one of them. Despite growing up in an era where Kirby games were a big deal, my first time actually playing any of the titles in the franchise came with the launch of the Wii Kirby compendium, Kirby’s Dream Collection – and none of those titles were particularly new recent, so you could say I was coming into this review knowing just north of nothing about the series and the character... Something which has proven to make the Kirby Triple Deluxe experience all the more blissful.We’ve prattled on about it in the past, but Nintendo systems really have become the spiritual home of all that is great about side scrolling platform games. Despite the genre almost fading into obscurity in recent years, Nintendo has been busy at work with a string of top notch releases, doing everything it can to show that there are few gameplay experiences purer than a well executed 2D platforming romp, and Triple Deluxe might just be the most enjoyable one for quite a while.Quite frankly, the entire experience is nothing short of delightful. Everything here from the beautifully colourful palettes used through to the catchy music and glorious gameplay is magnificent, and it serves to make me wonder why on earth I didn’t get into this whole Kirby thing a long time ago.Kirby: Triple Deluxe features, as the name suggests, three different games on a single cartridge, however the main attraction is undoubtedly the Story Mode portion.In this mode, players will guide Kirby through Dream Land in a bid to rescue Dedede, who has been kidnapped by Taranza, an odd blighter who wields magical powers and isn’t particularly fond of Kirby’s interference in his nefarious plans.
