Triple Deluxe does a better job than most Kirby games at retaining a consistent upward slope of challenge throughout. During the last few worlds and final boss, I was surprised to see my lives dwindle, and began to play much more carefully – something I’ve never done in previous Kirby titles. I was excited to embrace this challenge.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe doesn't succeed on all fronts, but the majority of its campaign is a joy to play, and the "Kirby Fighters" mini-game is solid enough to flesh out the package. Triple Deluxe doesn't reach the heights of Kirby Super Star, but it's still one of the finest Kirby adventures to date.

Kirby Triple Deluxe is an amazing game with tons of replay value and is one of the few games that makes the most of the 3DS' capabilities. It's a sure winner and will long be remembered one of the best games the 3DS has to offer.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe is a great package with two entertaining side games to complement the super-slick platforming quest. With a stronger final quarter, this would be essential.

The game is stuffed with content too. There are secrets to be found on every level, stars to collect, and an amusing rhythm-based minigame and multiplayer fighting game to dig into. You even have the option of going back and playing the game again as the mallet-smashing King Dedede, complete with remixed levels and bosses, and it's a tempting proposition when the platforming is this good.

However, the rest of the package holds its own quite well: Kirby Fighters is a great time-sink sure to provoke new rivalries among friends, and the post-game content offers a second competitive wind to the adventure. Come for the cute platforming, stay for the battle royale.

Even if you tend not to care much about Kirby games – understandably, given how toothless they can be – Triple Deluxe merits attention. Smart level design and a remarkable level of detail make this portable platformer one of Kirby's greatest adventures to date.

Kirby Triple Deluxe is a light and breezy trip to the spherical slurper's roots. While those looking for a challenge will find this installment as frustrating as previous entries, fans are in for another undeniably charming treat. It's hard not to simply smile the whole time playing, and it's harder not to recommend a game that can do that!

When I started the game up, I was worried about Kirby: Triple Deluxe. The first world felt too easy, too "me-too." I thought the hypernova power was going to be a tired gimmick, tacked on to a standard platformer.

As it is, his 3DS debut is too uneven to be essential, but too charming for fans to miss.

Triple Deluxe's gameplay shines just as brightly as other Kirby games, as the controls are very easy to use. The new Hypernova ability is marvelous, as it allows you to open up new parts of a level when the situation calls for it. The presentation is quite lovely, with stage design that springs to life and cute little animations that define what Kirby's world is all about. The music is also worth a listen.

Kirby Triple Deluxe is one of the best handheld iterations in the beloved Nintendo franchise. It doesn’t over-rely on gimmicks and returns to the traditional roots of the series. It’s still as charming as ever, sporting a nostalgic soundtrack and a well-conceived campaign that progresses at a steady pace.

The fighting mechanics are deep enough to make Kirby Fighters an entertaining distraction, but I didn’t really like Dedede’s Drum Dash because its rhythm is so different from the main game. ...If you’ve been following the franchise for years, you’ll love this title and if this is your first shot at Kirby’s brand of suck, don’t be scared.

here isn’t a gamer alive I wouldn’t recommend this to. It’s perfect for little kids and experienced gamers alike, although the latter will likely complain about the difficulty level. This fact can be overlooked though with its engaging single player game and satisfying multiplayer. In the end you really can’t go wrong picking this franchise game up.

Levels offer tons of secrets and hidden items to find, and the game’s use of the portable’s 3D effect is delightfully clever. It’s nice to see charm and wit take center stage in this beautiful adventure. If you ever enjoyed a Kirby game, you really should check this one out.

It won’t blow anyone away, but it’s another decent Kirby game, with smart levels, puzzles and unlockables that’ll keep the Kirby Hardcore happy. If the Kirby Hardcore exists. Don’t Google that.

Kirby:Triple Deluxe is yet another winning entry in the franchise. It delivers the core Kirby experience alongside of a few very well done extras, which is pretty much everything a fan could ask for. While the Kirby formula could easily be getting stale for some, it still represents a whimsical corner of platforming games that's centered around one central ideal -- fun.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe is a hard one to score, as while it doesn’t really do anything wrong, it never really stands out either. The copy abilities are interesting enough, but a lot of the level design feels a bit ordinary – it certainly lacks the variety of Kirby’s Epic Yarn. While that was also very easy, it was a joy to play through.

Triple Deluxe is great 2D platformer, with some really nice design. I needed just under 7 hours to finish the campaign, and going back to collect all of the Sun Stones and unlock bonus levels will add a few hours to that. There’s also a multiplayer battle arena and platforming/rhythm hybrid game, though neither held much lasting appeal for me. For fans of 2D platformers it’s a good choice, and definitely worth checking out.

Cute, smart, and ever-so fun to play, Kirby: Triple Deluxe upholds the storied legacy of the series. It's respectful to its past, all the while having the courage to add new ideas, and it implements them all with such style that the end result is quite simply one of the most charming platformers available on any system.

Having already brought out most of its big guns on 3DS, Nintendo will no doubt be hoping its second-tier titles up their game this year. Where Arzest failed, HAL has triumphed: Kirby might be a little late to the party, but he's arrived laden with treats.

The Nintendo 3DS continues to stockpile great first-party titles, and despite his lower tier standing in the pantheon of Nintendo characters, Kirby's still keeping up with the moustached plumbers and tie-wearing simians out there. You'll find solid level design, varied challenges and a fun set of abilities if you decide to join him. We suggest you do.

Con mucha naturalidad cumple escrupulosamente con nota en todos los apartados donde falló el reciente Yoshi's New Island, ganándose irremediablemente tu cariño: es simpatico y carismático, tiene un diseño jugable fantástico y usa de forma divertida e inteligente todo cuanto 3DS pone en manos del equipo de HAL Laboratories. El rosa, sin duda, es el color de esta temporada en la gran N.

Un recurso muy bien aprovechado que se apoya en algunos nuevos poderes, una duración adecuada y cantidad de elementos que incrementan la rejugabilidad, como una aventura extra, minijuegos o coleccionables. Todo con un sello de calidad inconfundible, resultando ideal tanto para expertos plataformeros como para los menos curtidos en la materia.

Kirby nos brinda uno de sus menús más frescos, variados y visualmente ricos de la saga. Aunque resulte fácil de digerir, su dirección artística, variedad de niveles y factor coleccionista lo convierten en plato de muy buen gusto.

In punkto Design und Technik ist Kirby Triple Deluxe ein Traum: Die idyllischen Kulissen und knuffigen Kopffüßer sorgen sofort für gute Laune. Das Spiel gehört zu den schönsten Titeln für Nintendos Handheld und auch die 3D-Fähigkeit wird dank der zwei erreichbaren Ebenen dezent, aber sinnvoll eingesetzt.

Das ist weniger, als Kirby verdient hätte, aber genug für zwei sorgen- und stressfrei verlebte Nachmittage in einem kariessüßen Abenteuer zwischen Federwolken und Zuckerwatte. Ein spaßiger Trip ohne große Langeweile. Bis das Tempo in den letzten Welten etwas anzieht, versteigt sich das unterhaltsame, aber letztlich doch routinierte Gehüpfe in seinem fehlenden Wagemut.

Retour aux sources réussi pour ce nouveau Kirby qui parvient à nous enthousiasmer tout au long de cet épisode rafraîchissant à souhait. Si les routines de gameplay ne sont pas vraiment nouvelles, la pertinence du level design qui joue sur les changements de plan passe très bien avec la 3D stéréoscopique.

Mais ce qui fait pencher la balance du mauvais côté, c’est ce sentiment de toute-puissance qu’on a en dirigeant Kirby, et le fait que le jeu soit bien trop facile pour donner un peu de fil à retordre. On se consolera néanmoins par le fait que le jeu regorge de bonus à débloquer, offrant un belle replay value. A ne pas manquer cependant si vous aimez Kirby et les jeux de plates-formes.

Kirby Triple Deluxe a beau porter le nom d'un menu de fast food, il tient davantage du plat de gourmet. Les ingrédients sont connus, la recette de base aussi, mais le résultat final arrive quand même à surprendre aussi bien par sa présentation que ses saveurs.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe é um jogo seguro da série, com a tentativa de aproveitar ao máximo as capacidades 3D da 3DS. O combate, graças às inúmeras habilidades de Kirby e aos excelentes bosses, está em grande plano, mas o desenho dos níveis começa a apresentar alguma estagnação fora do uso de diferentes profundidades. Algo que não é compensado pelos vários modos de jogos extra presentes.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe assinala a chegada da icónica bola cor-de-rosa à 3DS, com sucesso. A aventura, só por si, é conteúdo suficiente para umas belas horas de jogo, e se adicionarmos mais dois jogos, ainda que não tenham a mesma dimensão da aventura, atendendo à diversidade e finalidade de cada um, não deixam de ser propostas atractivas.

L'esordio su 3DS della simpatica mascotte rosa può quindi dirsi più che positivo. Kirby Triple Deluxe rimane un gioco dedicato ad un pubblico piuttosto giovane, che non cerca le difficoltà estreme di altri platform griffati Nintendo, ma è adatto anche a chi non ha mai avuto a che fare con questa serie e ha voglia di qualcosa di diverso dal solito.

Triplo lusso, tripla dimensione, tripla A: Kirby ritrova la forma smagliante in un gioco fedelissimo alle proprie origini platform, ma anche capace di trascinare il giocatore in una giostra di sorprese che perdura per la quasi totalità del gioco.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe schittert voornamelijk als een zelfverzekerde game die vol overtuiging de meerwaarde van het 3D-scherm van Nintendo's handheld in de kijker zet. De titel glanst door de productiewaarden die je van hoogstaande Nintendo-reeksen verwacht.

Eigenlijk zou je kunnen zeggen dat Kirby:Triple Deluxe een geweldige game is. Alles is erg goed afgewerkt en de vrolijkheid knalt op je af. De 3D-effecten zijn erg goed en ook het geluid in de game klinkt heel lekker. Helaas is de game echter niet perfect. Na verloop van tijd zul je merken dat de game een stukje uitdaging mist.
