K3D was good fun and a good reminder of why I enjoyed previous Kirby games. I remain unconvinced by Epic Yarn, which I'm still whittling at since I bought it months ago, but this one kept me entertained and coming back to it from start to finish. It also has a couple of modes unlocked after beating it that intrigue me (spoilered below, I know some like to be surprised by unlocks).
You can play through an abridged version of the game as DeDeDe, and, of course, there's a boss rush.
The game clocked in at about 9 hours, but I'd be surprised if I didn't get at least a couple more out of it. Worthwhile purchase for sure.

I think the only F-Zero I've played was the original SNES one, which I found terribly hard to control. I also have the ambassador game but I haven't tried it yet. I hear the GameCube one is where it's at.
GX is definitely "where it's at." In my opinion, there is no bad F-Zero. Only great ones and good ones. GX and X file under great for sure. F-Zero one certainly is difficult to get used to (and difficult in general), but it's a game that feels very good to master. GX and X also have punishing controls. Both make convincing use of the analog stick. The full range from a tiny nudge to a full tilt offer different degrees of steering, which matters big time at the speeds F-Zero plays at. I definitely recommend you give either X or GX a shot sometime. Awesome games. As it sounds like you've heard, I'd probably recommend GX first, but X is right there with it and worth getting if you like GX (and in my opinion, has a much better soundtrack, for what that's worth).
