Does this game have any issues running on the regular 3ds xl, not the newer version? Looking to pick up a new game for a trip I have coming up

This looks great. I haven't finished Triple Deluxe, though.

If you don't care about amiibo usage, then there's no problems whatsoever.

This game is gooooooooooooooooooood
And here I thought Triple Deluxe's take on the "evil tree" boss was impressive!

Just finished world one, really enjoying so far! It's a shame about the frame rate dips on 3D mode on new 3DS, though - I loved playing Triple Deluxe in 3D at a rock-solid frame rate.

Yeah I noticed that too
Just finished 1-3
Game might be my favorite so far this year on 3DS and that is saying something
Riding a mech feels so good. Way better than hypernova from Triple Deluxe.

First world boss spoilers
World 1 down. Game is an absolute joy to play.
Random boss at the end of 1-3 was pretty cool
Clanky Woods leaking the oil tear out of his eye what a cool thing!

Can you actually kill the
I'm assuming you cannot.
I guess I should keep my Mario Amiibo on hand for the cannons and fuses. I almost never use Fire unless I need it for those.
tree boss when it randomly shows up in 1-1?

The game has been nice enough to give me two different Coo stickers by the end of World 2, my mech customisation may as well be complete.
Though I wont say no to Nago the fat cat on one side.

Dat second world omg
Just as how RTDL masterfully reinvented Stone and Ninja, I'm impressed at what they've done with Jet and Mirror. Doctor is easily my favorite of the new Copy Abilities. I thought it would be PSI, but I'm a little disappointed it's hardly more than a retooled PK Flash. Still cool though.
Anyone else catch the unexpected remixes thus far? Hoping there's more!
On a further note, I'm surprised that I couldn't recognize

two of the ripped music cameos in 2-6.

Time to redo that level!
I'm actually a little surprised they didn't do more with Mirror. The two new moves are nice but not a huge change over its original capabilities.
On the other hand it's Mirror, so it's not like it needed much help.
For 2-6, at least one of the tracks is Kawasaki's theme from the unlocalized Super Star Stacker so that probably doesn't help (though I already forgot what the other two). Kinda surprised me when I heard it, they don't usually reference it outside of Masked Dedede's theme.

I was wondering if that was the case! There was actually three more: one from Canvas Curse, another from 64, and another one that sounded SNES-like.
Man, I can't wait to see what else they'll pull from...
wait what

Kind of odd to say but I really love the cinematic feel of this game. They really experimented with camera angles and swooping shots to give things an impressive sense of scale or to make the fights more exciting. Really, really neat, sets it apart from other Kirby games.

Does anyone know how many GameStop trading cards there actually are?

Judging by this thread on GameFAQS, maybe 10? I didn't preorder, but I'm wondering if I'll get some if I buy the game at the GameStop near where I'll be this weekend...

Yeah, one of the stages (1-4 maybe?) starts with an interesting, dramatic camera angle that I really enjoyed. It's at 1h 10mins 45 secs of this video:

The cashier at mine gave me two packs and I ended up getting eight different cards from them. I'm assuming there are probably as many as there are armor modes?
El Pescado

I've got 8. I wonder if I can get any more packs somewhere. Is there really a super rare card? What the hell, Nintendo?

So I just started playing this game and I'm really loving all of it but Im so dissapointed the frame rate dips a lot while using the 3d effect.

Any text on the card packs saying who might have manufactured them? Or does GameStop have their own card maker of sorts to make these?
So I've just beaten the first world and if the quality keeps up then this will dethrone Triple Deluxe as my favorite Kirby game.
They really hide the Smash Bros ability really well, huh? It was a total fluke that I managed to find it in 1-4.
They made Mirror (My favorite ability) even better! The spark ability is actually fun to use now! Doctor is kinda meh. Not awful or anything, but it's not one that I'll switch abilities for.
The robobot armor is really fun to use. I really hope 1-6 is indicative of how they'll use it in the future. Those puzzles were really fun, albeit pretty easy (this is Kirby after all).
One big problem I had with Triple Deluxe is that it didn't tell you which levels the rare keychains your were missing were in. Thankfully Planet Robobot fixes that issue with the stickers.
I also platinumed the first level of the two subgames. The 3D one is pretty fun, albeit a bit too simple. Team Kirby Clash is kinda dull. It would be a lot better if it was actual bosses instead of mini bosses.

I was going to wait a few more days before getting this game due to Best Buy having technical difficulties with issuing certificates, but my weak will tells me to just grab it from the eShop anyway despite the discounts
That and having Reggie in Mii Plaza allowed me to place the last puzzle piece for the game's image. I took it as a sign.

I only noticed some slowdown once in Triple Deluxe in a big room with a bunch of doors. Hope it's not too bad.
It's pretty bad. Expect some really noticeable FPS drops when you're using your mech in 3D further on.
whiterabbit
Member
Just wondering, is that on an old or New 3ds? I don't mind turning 3D off if necessary, but I only have old 3dses.
I'm playing on a new and had just a bit of slowdown already on level 1.
whiterabbit
Member
Darn. I guess it's because the developers used the same engine as the other game and added stuff that it wasn't made to do. By all accounts it's still a good game, so I'm still going to try and buy it tomorrow.
Why would you do that?
Member
Yeah, this game is way more amazing than I expected, and I actually had high expectations, lol.
Kirby games are always super energetic and make you feel powerful, but this game ups the ante very, very much. The mech suit in this game is absolutely crazy. In addition, I only beat the first world, but the bosses (that's plural!) are even bigger and better.
The camera angles are also dynamic, which is nice. Plus, the music is also amazing in this game, it's probably my favorite Kirby soundtrack-wise.
Kirby is an interesting game that's generally easy, but the fun comes from trying out all the powers. But today I realized that the fun also comes from just the general feeling of being an all powerful BAMF that can destroy everything on sight.
(Also echoing frame rate drops on New 3DS in 3D. Luckily I'm not susceptible to them, but it's definitely prevalent, even on the world map.)

Played up until 3-4. Great, great game so far. If it keeps it up I can definitely see it as my second favorite behind Super Star.
And yeah, definitely frame drops when a ton of stuff is blowing up with the mech in 3D. Doesnt bother me too much, I'll let a few frames slide to lay waste to things with a giant ass flamethrower.
