What was your first Kirby game? (if you've played one of course)
Incidentally, this game, "Nightmare in Dreamland." It was also the first game I completed myself, all three campaigns 100% too.
I enjoyed the Meta Knightmare mode when I found out I could play as him. Even if I couldn't save.
Easily, Adventure. It's content is so beautiful. I'm on the final world of Dream Land 3 on Switch Online right now. I've played those, Dream Land, and Planet Robobot. Dream Land 2 is is in my backlog.
Queue the Air Ride comments.
My first Kirby game was Kirby and the Amazing Mirror. I played it back when I was around 5 and the games structure often led me to getting lost and ending up back where I started, but I really never got tired of doing so. I was too enamored with the gameplay and visuals that just playing the game was fun. Ever since then, I've been a huge fan.
@@TheDemonicmuffins Amazing Mirror was also my first. I played it on a friend's Advance, and fell in love at around 7 years old. When I got it, I played it into the ground, and I think it's EVEN MORE completionist friendly. In fact, the same friend had Nightmare in Dreamland and let me borrow it. I was actually underwhelmed simply because the only one I had played was a pseudo-open-world one, and this one was completely level-based. It wasn't until playing Super Star Ultra (and also borrowing Squeak Squad from that same friend) that I realized that was actually the norm for Kirby games. Super Star Ultra is probably my favorite overall simply because of all the content. But Amazing Mirror holds incredible nostalgia for me. The idea of secrets elucidated in this video, I feel, was built upon and improved in Mirror.
Good video, but it felt like a lot of time was wasted weirdly obsessing about wishing this was the first game in the Kirby series...
It was a little weird how these lines were repeated many times during this video. It's an interesting thought, but it would have been enough to only mention it once or twice.
Even stranger is that his wish comes from a place of having skipped Adventure. If he'd played Adventure during its heyday, he'd likely come to the conclusion that Kirby's lack of traction then was mostly due to the game releasing so late into the NES's life as opposed to any faults with Adventure itself.
I totally agree.
wasted weirdly wishing
Yeah your right
"Meta-Knight is not cute." Have...have you seen him without the mask?
@Zachary Erickson isn't it like an adult Kirby that's blue
@@johnlawful2272 technically, Yes
Not that cute either but i see why you like it
@@Nowaythisisnt like what?
@@brianlam7879 hes like kirby but darker....and has a cape?
“Imagine if this is your very first game as a kid.”
This was actually my first Kirby game. I got it for Christmas when I was six - one of two times I’ve ever received a video game as a holiday gift. Man oh *MAN,* what a great starting point. Thanks, Grandma 😊
Seven minutes in, and he’s still wondering what it would have been like if this had been the first game in the series.
He's living in the timeline where the original Kirby's Dreamland was HAL's only chance at making Kirby into a success, and they fucking blew it.
I think he wishes this was the first Kirby game.
"A quality remake is better than the original."
The sky is blue and we breathe air.
"It's no surprise that Nightmare in Dreamland is linear, that's kind of the point, right?"
*looks at Amazing Mirror"
Uh...
Don't look down on Adventure everyone, the level design is superb. It's a great game
I disagree. The level design may be nice, but the future installments had better level design and actually controlled well - Adventure not only has some sort of an input lag, but the flying is also completley different and much less fun to use. The abilities are one-move only and it makes them become boring and less use-able. Plus, the original decided to sacrifice the framerate and the gameplay as a whole for nice graphics - something a game should never do. It's technically marvelous, but it's not fun to play when you get low as hell framerate just because the developers decided to say "oh look at this cool background that is impressive-looking!". Super Star and it's successors are much better games, in my opinion.
@@marx4538 I'll give you the flying and the framerate (things that the remake has fixed obviously) but I found it was so much fun and refreshing going back to a simpler Kirby game because even with one move abilities (I didn't dislike them before but I also greatly prefer the Super Star method, but now I have an appreciation for Adventure's abilities), the simplistic but thoughtful level design complements the abilities. A Kirby game that makes me change abilities often to complement level design (not only for secrets) is a great Kirby game in my opinion.
@@fernando98322
For me a great Kirby game is a one that makes me enjoy having abilities and have high replayability from using them alone. Kirby's Adventure and NiDL didn't feel as good for that as Super Star, for me. But hey, opinions.
You keep going back and forth in comparing this to Dream Land and Adventure.
Aw man, I remember playing this so much when I was younger! I really hope we get a proper fully 3D Kirby game someday. I think it could be awesome! Flying around 3D environments would probably be super fun
They could expand upon the Hub worlds in Star Allies, they really had something going there
Similar to Kirby’s blowout blast would be fun
Flying around in a Breath of the Wild sised map with the wing transformation.
alfasilverblade I don’t mean open world though. I mean literally Kirby levels but in 3d.
Boxish not really I mean flying as Kirby isn’t the best anyways and I’m sure they could cleverly design a game including something new, with all of these platformers having a 3d reneisaince im sure Kirby could do just as well
For some reason, it really seems like they were really stretching and searching for things to talk about in this video, particularly things that don't involve NiDL directly. A really sizable chunk of the video was about focusing on how Kirby isn't as popular as he could be (even though he's the absolute most supported first/second party Nintendo character/series behind Mario and Pokemon, and the majority of his games and merch sell like golden hot cakes) or that he *really, r e a l l y* wishes that NiDL was the first Kirby game, or that it just blows the original out of the water. Well, yeah, it's a game that came out 9 years later and was made on more powerful hardware and made by a more competent team.
I think when he said that he wishes this was the first Kirby game to be released, think he was referring to Kirby's Adventure, not the remake.
Why do you keep comparing it to the gameboy (Dreamland) game when it's a remake of the NES game (Adventure)?
IKR
And CONTINUE to do so for like... (looks at clock) 7 minutes so far
Because Adventure was the original sequel to Dreamland and he's reviewing the remake of said sequel? Makes sense to me.
Though that said, I do think more Adventure-Dream land direct comparisons would've been better. Or at least would've confused less people and been more obvious reasons
@UCoVXiGx-HPvmsHocREuB5tw And I think I agree with that. The comparison made sense even if the thesis didn't; still enjoyed the video despite that, but it probably needed a little more time in the oven.
You forgot about the people who like Kirby because of the deep lore.
Lol, ironically that is true. Kirby is chaotic neutral eldritch abomination after all ;D
Like me!
BOYO!
"Meta Knight is not cute" ... Dude, he's exactly like Kirby but dark blue with yellow eyes under the mask.
This WAS my first introduction to Kirby and one of my first games as well. It did an absolutely brilliant job introducing me.
Does... Does he even know this is a remake of adventure? Not dreamland?
He knows
Nightmare in Dreamland was my introduction to Kirby and my first GBA game. It 100% hooked me on the series
This game was my go to on Saturday mornings right after watching Kirby's show on the FoxBox. Good times.
This was the first game I ever bought with my own money and the first game I ever completed 100%! So much nostalgia!
Mine was in 1999 i was 8 did extra choirs all summer to earn money. By the end of the summer i saved up enough to get the Gameboy color with Pokemon red. Great memory.
Kirby's Adventure was my first true video game. It was my first exposure to the wonders of controlling a character on a television screen with a controller, and that alone blew my childhood mind. The music is absolutely timeless, the gameplay is super fun, and just about everything about the game was super memorable to me. And naturally, I absolutely love the remake even more. (especially since Meta Knight is my favorite Nintendo character) Whether I'm playing the original NES version or the GBA remake, Kirby's Adventure/Nightmare in Dream Land will always be a game I hold near and dear to my heart. :)
It’s awesome to see someone who loves both! It seems most tend to much prefer one over the other. I played Nightmare in Dreamland first, not realizing it was a remake. Upon discovering Kirby’s Adventure, I played it using an emulator. I enjoyed both immensely!
Kirby's Adventure was my first true Video game too, Everything about it was just Perfect for me, the Graphics, Gameplay, Music, Atomsphere and Everything, I couldn't even stop playing it soon as i touched it once, Heck even the atomsphere itself tells you that you're making progress and the ending man! that ending tho!
Kirby: *exists*
Christopher Moon: I HAVE A FEELING IT’S GONNA BE A WONDERFUL DAY!
Still my favorite Kirby game. And as a young teen I 100% it not because I'm a completionist, but because I just wanted to keep playing.
As a kid I never knew about Kirby until I got Nightmare in Dreamland in like… 2003. It had a lot of unique challenges it offers me from start to finish, which makes it a step up over the 1993 Kirby game. I didn’t play all the Kirby games after this, but this game made me a Kirby fan ever since. He may have been nerfed in the newer Smash games, but his copy abilities are so badass! And yeah, who misses Cook Kirby as Kirby’s final smash in Brawl? Like placing every Smash fighter in the cooking pot was the most hilarious thing Kirby has ever done!
Meta Knight isn't cute? Try telling that to Lucina!
Paul Dunbar a fellow Lucina fan of culture
Kirby: NID was my very first Kirby game and I'm glad it was. Jirard said pretty much everything that needed to be said: from the music to visuals to gameplay, it's all great
The Kirby theme is now stuck in my head.
Thanks Jirard.
Meta Knight is definitely cute, he's just also cool 😜
He's the man of many, many faces.
Mainly in pink.
But he's gone to places, every enemy he meets.
He swallows them whole.
Then he takes away from their powers.
KIRBY!! Nightmare in Dreamland.
KIRBY!! Nightmare in Dreamland.
He's a man of many faces and he takes away all their powers.
@@EWOODJ I was mostly quoting the song that was used in that commercial for this game.
rated e for everyone
This was my introduction to Kirby and one of the first video games I got really into. It’s a delight to see it featured.
My fiance gave me his copy back in high school because he actually found his original copy and I played the hell out of it. I still play it frequently.
Plus, years later, this game was the very first video game my little nephew beat, and it kinda made me proud :D
this was my first Kirby game and yeah, it made Kirby one of my favorite series to this day
I remember being in the back of my parents van playing this on my Gameboy advanced SP... God seeing all that stuff again brings a tear to my eye
Nightmare in Dream Land was not only my first Kirby game, but my first game ever!!! My husband never really understood why I love Kirby so much but this video opened his eyes as to why I'm obsessed!!! Thank you for giving this game the love it deserves!!!!!
Nice 👌
AntDude I had a feeling you’d be here AntDude! Can’t wait for your later Kirby reviews!
hello nitro rad it’s me the funny hamster man politics amiright
The Kirby man
This was my first Kirby game, so glad it’s getting the respect it deserves!
Yo if Jirard completes Kirby & The Amazing Mirror I will shit my britches. One of my all time favorites.
I got lost within all the mirrors and never finished :(
With friends. get all the Beard Bros in on it, each with a screen for us to watch as if it was splitscreen.
I loved Amazing Mirror's open world design. just wished they did more with it, like how you couldn't reach the final world until you found one of the sorta hidden warp stars.
biggest facts ever, amazing mirror is in my top 10 games of my childhood
Tristan R. Squeak Squad has the most satisfying completion bonuses imo
Oh dude, play Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, that one incorporated metroidvania elements and had all kinds of stuff to find.
Also Squeak Squad.
So glad to see you complete this! Nightmare in Dreamland was my first video game and absolutely fostered my love for completing games myself!
As someone who had Kirby's Adventure as one of my first games, your "What if this was the first Kirby?" thoughts are, as a matter of fact, completely what happened. There is no "if" about it. That game was more or less one of the first Kirby games, those songs are a slightly remastered version of the originals, and it really did take off as much as you think it "would have."
I always had fond memories of Kirbys Adventure personally. Its use of colors and its spritework in general are still gorgeous to this day
This is hands down my favorite Kirby game off all time Jirard! I just adore the gameplay, the story, and more importantly, the kickass music! Thank you SO much for reviewing this game!!!
This GBA game is my first Kirby game. Been a Kirby fan ever since.
Nightmare in dreamland was my first kirby game been in love with kirby sense☺️
What an impressive remake. Always nice seeing some Kirby action on here, well done.
Dude, have you SEEN maskless Meta Knight? He's ADORBSABLE!
The first game I ever completed. Played this game so much, so much fun. And before the days when I could simply google where things were.
Completionist: Kirby's Nightmare in Dreamland should've been the first game in the franchise.
Kirby Super Star: Hold my beer!
Hold my Power Lollipop
This game, in my opinion, is better than Superstar. The NES version was better as well. Just an opinion of course.
@@jonathanblaha2771
In my opinion, the NES version is a mess, especially compared to Super Star, and the GBA version is just okay. Thanks for expressing your opinion as an opinion and not as a fact.
Super Star Ultra*
This was my fist game I have ever completed it is still one of my fondest memories. Love that you compleated it!
omg Kirby swimming is adorable
Wow this is an AWESOME remake! I love the Sprites and Colors!!
This was one of the first games I ever 100%ed and I did it 9 times, so awesome to see you do it too!
Enjoyed this jirad. Thank you much. Always enjoy you and your team’s work!!!
Kirby my man in Dreamland. Beating up those bad guys taking away their powers!
I think it’s pretty cool how you talk about if this was the first Kirby game, Kirby would be considered a gaming icon, because, this was my first Kirby game (slash first video game overall). Kirby is a gaming icon to me. I feel he’s under appreciated and even though his game are easy, the creativity behind the games push the games over the top for me. Kirby is my favorite game character, and it’s mostly due to this game.
I still have this game. It’s so fun to go back to every once in a while. Definitely the best Kirby game I’ve played.
So, you're comparing a gameboy advance game's graphics with one for the gameboy. Yeah, that's not remotely fair. And why is Jirard talking like no one plays Kirby? Its one of Nintendo's bigger properties and its most consistently good. Also, every main kirby game has a difficult extra mode, its not unique to nightmare in dreamland.
Thacobell it would be like if I said “what if Mario galaxy was the first Mario game instead of the original nes one, look how primitive the original is compared to what it could of been”. Yeah I agree it’s not a good comparison to make for a hypothetical “what if” scenario that doesn’t make sense.
Not only is it unfair but i dont see how t would change anything. I didnt think the early games made kirby look bad and missing out on 6 of the first kirby games some of which ive commonly heard as peoples favorites and are a big part in the lore so im pretty sure the series be much worse off.
@Kadeeen But its bad info. Nightmare in Dreamland is a pretty standard Kirby game. Everything Jirard is praising about it, is present in almost every other Kirby game, many of which have MORE features. And there's zero reason to compare it to a gameboy game. The technology was different and if this game came out back then, it'd look a lot mroe like Kirby's Dreamland. Its a disengenuous comparison.
Yeah, the premises of this video are strange. By the time Nightmare in Dreamland released, Dreamland 2, Superstar, Dreamland 3, and Crystal Shards had been out. Heck, Nightmare in Dreamland came to be _because_ there was an established fanbase for the series. (Not to mention the anime was airing around that time!)
@@MissAshley42 Nightmare in Dreamland is really just a graphical upgarde of Kirby's Adventure as well.
This was the first handheld video game I ever played when I was 4 so I got very excited when I saw the was the video. After watching, I can't agree with you more Jirard, those experiences you were describing were my experiences with the game. Great video and great game.
Me too dude. It was this and Pokemon Ruby. I was 6.
This was the first game I ever completed and it introduced me to Kirby because I didnt have any of the earlier titles
Child me could not complete this game. You have inspired me to pick it back up! Thank you! Great vid as always.
4:42 Um... Jirard? Please Google "Kirby's Dreamland Japanese Box Art", cause you're not 100% on this one.
you know what pisses me off, people not talking enough about this game, you cant believe how happy I am that you of all people is taking a look at this game
"Meta Knight is not cute." Clown behavior.
This was my first Kirby game that I played and I love it. I am so happy that you finally got around to completing it as I was never able to as a child. Thank you and I can't wait for more content. I wish that I found this channel earlier in my CZcams experience. However, I know of you now. I will be watching.
You're forgetting the third type of Kirby fan, the ones who are in it for that sweet kirby lore. Shit's nuts.
I am very happy this was my first Kirby game. Kirby became essentially my first Nintendo character that I saw, and I’ve been a fan since.
Funny how your Kirby history is the opposite of mine. I started with Kirby's Adventure on the NES, ended up giving my NES away to a nephew after I got the SNES, so I couldn't play it anymore. However, I still had my Game Boy, so when I wanted to play Kirby, Kirby's Dreamland was my only option.
I say Only, but there was a Kirby game for the SNES, but somehow it completely missed me, I had no idea it existed. Not sure how I missed it, I loved Kirby's Adventure so much.
Aww, I was really hoping it would still get a "Complete It". Either way a solid and fun game.
Waking up to this in the morning is the best way to start a new day :D
Especially with a Kirby Game :D
Never played Nightmare in Dreamland, but the original Kirby's Adventure is still my favorite Kirby game to this day. The soundtrack is easily one of my favorite NES soundtracks. I also like the variety of weapons and visuals.
Love your vids man keep up the good work bro
Aw yeah, the first Kirby game I ever owned. I remember playing Adventure on a school's emulator. Except the key the computer used for the right D-pad input only worked like 30% of the time, so despite having a LOT of NES games, Kirby's Adventure was the only one people could play at all since Kirby could fly and abilities like Fireball or Wheel let you move forwards automatically. Still, when I saw those ads for Nightmare in Dream Land, I was like "That's it! It's the same game from school, the level design is totally identical, but it looks better and the d-pad will actually work! I HAVE to get it!" Thus, I got a GBA, and finally had access to what has become my favorite videogame series ever. When you played that Dedede final boss theme, man, my heart did a thing. Just absolutely ANNIHILATED with nostalgia.
This was my first Kirby game and I loved it.
First game I completed as a kid, great experience
Nightmare in dreamland was my first Kirby game, I’m pretty sure I got it on my 6th birthday, and I’ll never forget it cause it was one of the first games I ever beat.
It’s still my favorite Kirby game of all time
I love the commercial when i was middle school. "Beating up the bad guy and taking away their power"
Thank you for completing this game. It was a staple in my childhood.
This game and Warioland 4 are tied for my all-time favorite GBA game
So many good memories!
What's funny is that Nightmare in Dreamland *was* my first Kirby game. I didn't ever own any of them, so when I found out that there was one for GBA, I got it as a ROM on my phone's emulator and constantly played it on the go, and now, I'm beyond invested in the franchise! ^^
Same, it's such a fun and fast-paced game to play for a few minutes and get instant fun out of it :D
It’s funny. Nightmare in Dream Land was the very first Kirby game I played as a kid and my experience was just like Jirard theorizes. I loved Kirby and played this game over and over again because of how awesome a game this was. I never understood people who thought Kirby was dumb because this game was so awesome to play!
Man, I remember playing this game as a kid, absolutely loved it!
one of my favorite games of all time glad you finally covered it not sure how anyone could not love Kirby I love my hard games as much as anyone but that doesn't mean you have to hate on easy games like Kirby but whatever great episode looking forward to the next
Anyone else want to him do the Infamous series? That'd be sick just seeing his play style change from Good Karma to Evil Karma. As always great video and has inspired me all over again to get back into platinuming games again
Comments in a nutshell:
99.9% "Wow he keeps saying it should be the first game"
0.1% "Nice review I love that game!"
Brings back memories, I have to play this game again
Nightmare in dream land was my first kirby game ! And today, kirby is still my favorite video game character !
This game was actually the first videogame I've ever played, I had a SNES, but I was way too little to like actually play it,. But when my dad bought me a Gameboy advance with this game, it made me love videogames. With 7-8 years of age, I got to 100% complete it. People complain that Kirby is too easy and too cute, but man if it wasn't for a game like this I actually believe I would be a much different person than I am today.
this game was the very first kirby game i played and i loved it but i didnt really know their was a 100% completion bonus ill see about giving it another play through now
I was born in 89 and played Dreamland a lot as a little kid. I loved that game. Still do
I loved this game but kind of forgot about it until now. good times
Jokes on you, this game was my first introduction to Kirby. What a fantastic game when I was in 5th grade on my SP.
I think you are going to love kirby super star ultra the challenge is real there. It's the gift that keeps on giving
That's funny THIS WAS my first game I ever played
The fact you planned this before Super Kirby Clash was announced... You're a prophet dude.
I'd like to see jirard make a top ten list of worst and best completionist rewards
Kirby is easy but don’t ever enter boss rush in later games
Yeah, I'm just waiting for the episode where Jirard is legit suffering from PTSD from The True Arena, and everybody else just doesn't get it because it's Kirby, a.k.a "Baby's First Platformer".
"Imagine if this was your first game as a kid."
Well, for me it was and I've been a fan ever since.
Yo wtf I speedrun this game. Super hyped to watch this one
Took a peek at the leaderboard and saw you’re 7th place. Nice, I’m sure you’ll get record if you keep grinding.
Aaron R. Thanks dude. 7th place in 100% and 5th place in Any%. Tonight at 9PM ET we’re premiering the community sum of best, or the best anybody’s ever done every level in the run, over at twitch.tv/mr_shasta if you’re interested!
Rox i’ll check it out if I have time
Ahhh my first Kirby game and my favorite game from my childhood
You really gonna compare GB Advance graphics to the original GB?
