8/6 - Kirby's Dream Land 2 (3DS [Game Boy])
Dream Land 2 is substantially longer than its predecessor (about 4.5 hrs, used save states to decrease some tedium related to collectibles) and a good bit better too. I felt like playing more Kirby after beating Triple Deluxe, so I bought KDL2 on impulse and had plenty of fun. I forgot I had Amazing Mirror as an Ambassador game, but I suppose I could just play that next. Anyway, good game, play it if you're into that kinda thing.

I also managed to get my file to 100%. This only involves maybe a half-hour of extra work compared to just beating it, but it's completed nevertheless.

It sure is on VC. Its graphics leave a bit to be desired because Nintendo was shooting for a high frame rate. The result is a good sense of speed but pretty plain tracks. Probably the right trade off, really. The comic book aesthetic and rock/metal soundtrack are great, though, and although it doesn't quite reach the breakneck speeds GX does, it keeps a pretty good pace, and if you beat all the cups on Expert and try them on Master, then you'll really have to get moving to win the Grand Prix. Hope you like it!The Shoemaker wrote:
And F-Zero X is for the N64? If it's on Virtual Console I'll give it a try.
