![Kirby and the Amazing Mirror [GBA] review - SNESdrunk](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/CDvjwv-qNIQ/mqdefault.jpg)
I love this game. It's a very underrated GBA game.
Is it really under rated? I thought it was well received?
@@absoluteclownworld More like under-appreciated. Most people just don't know about it, but people who have played it love it.
LOL! It’s certainly not underrated anymore. The game goes for well over $100 USED now.
@@totallyfrozen you can say that to any game released by popular game developer company. Square = Enix, Fromsoftware earlier games, and more similar companies.
It's so hard to find new game at reasonable (read: cheap) price because of this crowd mentality
Love this game :D Two neat facts: It was developed by Game Freak, the creators of Pokémon, and if you play this in a GameCube Game Boy Player, the cartridge won't rumble, but it will use the Game controller's rumble function instead
The first fact is redundant since he mentioned that in the video, but the second is pretty cool and a clever idea!
@@MerkhVision Though I haven't tried it myself, I hear Mario & Luigi SuperStar Saga has rumble when played on the Game Boy Player as well. I love extras like that
The wii emulator for GBA also has the rumble feature used with the controller
Well, you can find some games that *SOUND* like it elsewhere... the 3rd generation Pokemon games, made by the same team not long before Drill Dozer, have a soundtrack that sounds nearly identical to this game in tone and instrument samples etc., just that not all the tracks are as energetic. I do wish Game Freak would poke into other genres more often too but I'd say a Drill Dozer sequel's about as likely as a Pulseman one at this point.
or maybe a game of pulseman and drill dozer together :D
With the power of crowdfunding, nothing is impossible.
Yeah it can be really sad when you discover awesome retro games for the first time, and realize that they never got (and will never get most likely) a much deserved sequel.
You got the talent and the voice for making very good reviews, i still enjoy "retro" so much that every video is enjoyable !
Thanks Maxime
If you play this on the Gameboy Player, it also provides rumble support to the Gamecube controller. One of only four North American GBA games to do so.
I love the GBA, it's like the perfect 2D handheld device. And yeah this game looks fun. Good stuff.
Hands-down my favorite GBA game!
One True GBA hidden gem, worth every second of it :D
You can tell this was made by Game Freak cuz the music sounds very similar to Gen 3 Pokémon games.
Your reviews are very good and I enjoy them. Thanks
Thanks for watching James
Great review, have to check this game out.
Speaking off overlooked GBA-games, Scurge: Hive! Or as I like to call it, Metroid Fusion 2. Well, maybe not as good as Metroid but still a nice game that not many talk about. It's also available for DS.
just bought the game on wii u couple days ago. I regretted not playing this on gameboy advance and now i'm glad I got it on wii u. Amazingly the rumble feature used on the original cartridge is now featured on the wii u version.
I love this game. I discovered it about a year ago after watching a Game Sack episode. Like you said its so unique and unlike anything else out there, wish there was a sequel. Great review.
I was compelled to just tap on this video as I get ready for work. They're all just quick and concise. I get to know very quickly if I should check out a game or not.
Just got up to get to class, rushing to not be late, and this is the perfect video length for my exit. While being on of of my favorite gba games. So thanks.
Haha same here as I'm getting ready for work, but now this game is on my radar.
Dude, I've never seen this video, you can feel your love for the game and the genre, so wholesome
I played the heck out of this game a few years ago. It's short but really good.
i really want a 3ds sequal to this, i really do. Its one of my favs
Worth mentioning that this is also on virtual console for wii u for a quarter of the cart price.
Looks fun! Also a fan of action platformers and this one looks pretty neat. Thanks for the review!
Yeah, I really love this game, and my mission is to play every good 2D platformer. This to me is top 5 or 10 of the genre on the GBA.
This one has been on my list of games I want to play. Looks very good
I purchased this game when it was released on a whim. Cool little game anyone has Game Boy Advance you should really try it out.
Didn't even mention the music! That 3rd Gear theme is just pinacle hype. I wish someone would do it justice with a great cover.
When someone says that Gamefreak is nothing without Pokemon, just show them this game.
It's also worth mentioning that Europe got this game for the first time in the Wii U Virtual Console! It looks like the game was set to be released in a multi-language cartridge but was eventually cancelled. The European VC release includes those official translations and that's really cool. I like when Nintendo brings titles that never came out in official form. How about... Mother 3 then?
I just got the us version even though i from europe myself it can be the bets game on the planet I only want physical downlaods are just a big scam you dont BUY downloads you rent them for an unspecified time.
Only just learned of this game via Scott the Woz. Then proceeded to get it on emulator but learned it had rumble so bought it on the WiiU eShop before that service will get buried this March.
Great game and I’m only 2 levels in! Definitely a hidden gem and I know I would have loved it as a kid. Oh well, I can at least play it now and pretend it is 2006 again.
Wow why would they make the gear shift take up half the screen?
Maybe they thought it would be too small otherwise on a GBA screen?
Huh I just made the connection on how much Kirby Planet Robobot's mech suit, and the puzzles around it look similar to Drill Dozers.
My only problem with this game is its length. It's incredible but it's over too soon! That's a very minor complaint as the game is awesome.
it sure is a short game, always noticed that. still a great ride
@@mrfandude1235
Short and VERY expensive now.
Cant believe this is a first party Nintendo game! And Jill was a neat assist trophy in SSBB
Anyone still interested in GBA games has heard of it and it's one of the first games found googling "gba hidden gems". For some really overlooked stuff check out Scurge: Hive, Juka and the Monophonic Menace, Turok Evolution, Lady Sia, Rebelstar and Iridion II.
I never knew about this game. Looks fun.
Glad I got this game brand new a few years ago. NOW you have to sell your soul just to get either the cartridge alone or Zeus forbid a complete copy of a GameBoy Advance title.
I've been on the lookout for this game since I learned about it a couple years ago, but of course never see it in the wild.
Literally the only thing I remembered about this game was the rumble on the cartridge. I forgot about the giant overlay and how the game played.
Is it you saying sssssSNES DRUNK! at the beginning of the videos? Also, thanks for creating awesome videos I enjoy.
Thanks for watching. That's me, I say it in a silly voice twice before recording each voiceover and layer the two voices
I'm just now realizing that you record it each time! Startropics is particularly funny. I can't believe I didn't figure that out, now I keep playing the beginning of each video.
I can't remember which video it is, but there is one that is great, goes on for like four seconds.
I wish this game still went for 30$
Great game!
Subscribed. Thanks!
30 dollars for a cart only ! Wow that’s cheap I just paid £195 for a good conditions boxed one !
Hey snes drunk i love drill dozer i defeat 1 boss i love puzzle and im always get chips to continue!
A bit of a warning, the "rumble" pak for this game is weak. I dont know if I bought a bad cartridge, but the one I got just has a slight vibration and then gets slightly stronger when you "Gear Up" when attacking in the Dozer.
The Gameboy Color Rumble Paks are far superior than the ones for GBA.
That's the craziest thing Nintendo sold the people.
Gameboy Color Forever!
If anyone knows a way to swap out motors for this game, I definitely would want that video.
Surprisingly is by studio which made Pokemon games
2:43 The cartridge use to go for $30? Cheapest you can get it now is $100.
Half these reviews were like this
Hiya! HIYAAA!
Love this game!
The best game I've played when I had the gba. I finished the game on emulators since I lost the gba ;(
Also, fun fact. This was developed by game freak, the people who almost exclusively make Pokémon!
Daniel Bond hi you are cute ;)
Ever Yojanni Romero Sifuentes yikes
that game is a great hidden gem to most ppl
Lefty loosey, righty tighty? That's great.
Time to emulate
Looks really fun!
Also, Yoshi Topsy Turvy used the same mechanic as this game and the cartridge is even shaped the same. Future video, perhaps?
Wish this still went for $30 on eBay lmao!
Answer: Yes
I wished they made a sequel or at least put Jill in Smash Bros.
Gamefreak game, surprise.
Btw I do wish for the times where the tutorial was integrated as the first level or being optional.
"The cartridge goes for $30" God I wish it was 7 years ago, now this game is like $150
I've known about this game forever, knew it was good but never tried it. Guess I'll have to now.
Me too! Ive even had a copy sitting in my drawer forever now.
Ehh...nostalgia, I played this for very a long time...and I loved this game,I crying
I wish gamefreak makes a sequel but it probably won't happen because they are overworked with pokemon
Great
Ah yes a good gamefreak game
Music sounds like it came from Pokemon Emerald.
Same people. GameFreak.
dank ass game
Most original game on GBA.
Wicked game 👍
FUCK YES
LOL this game is going for 140 or more on Ebay right now. Not a cheap game at all.
I keep seeing the game here go for like 5$
$30 omg kill me it’s over 100 now
This game is hard. Collosobot is one of the worst boss battle i ever fight. So much stress & ridiculous.
I just finished playing this game on my gameboy advance, and I have to say - I'm pretty disappointing. The developers insisted to use drilling for everything, but sometimes it just doesn't work. Flying or maneuvering underwater by drilling feels terrible. In addition, drilling into something means you have to stop and drill for awhile, and since every obstacle needs to be drilled at or into the game becomes very slow and meticulous to play. The positive things about this game are: the rumble feature (never got old for me!), huge stages with hidden collectibles and very creative boss fights. Overall I cannot recommend this game.
I cant recomend this comment though sure it has some flaws but for a sort of revieuw our trying to do you have too look at it objectivly at least to a degree.
I agree with the water and flying parts especialy the flying but realy the colours arent bad at all. and if you get headaches of this game you might need glasses or something because thats not normal for any game unless its on the virtual boy:P
I really don't know why I got headaches. The game looks fantastic, but maybe the colors are just too bright? I never had that happen to me with other games on the system. So yeah, maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that. Aside from that I do believe the reviewer should have mentioned the cons this game has instead of just praising it for its pros.
yeah the headaches for whatever reason is just you I get headaches often and verry easy and never got them from playing this game so I think thats just you so not fair to blame this game for that. maybe your over sensitive to stuff like that? with the pokemon porygon episode not everyone was affected either only people sensitive for it but even I got headaches from that episode:P
but the cons are personal to a degree maybe he actualy likes the water and flying levels and to be fair water wasnt too bad but air sure was.
I wonder how many games like this are now $100+ BECAUSE of SNESdrunk's reviews. Ironic.
Man these reviews sure show their age
All retro games are overpriced thanks to Covid and idiots in this Country now overvaluing their games because they don't want to work for a living for their money.🤣
The game is made by Gamefreak who are rarely permitted to work on anything other than Pokemon. So of course there's no sequel.
Dildozer 😂😂
Don't laugh
It's a bad joke
Alpha game. Only Alphas have played this
This was in a MetalJesus video awhile back. Tried it, and ZzzzZZzzzZZz. Maybe its good, I didn't think much of it. Linear, predictable,
