Episode 522: Kirby, Part 4
Added 2023-03-20 07:00:03 +0000 UTCAfter an uneven 2000s, the Kirby series found itself in a real sweet spot during the following decade. Yes, the 2010s signaled a brand new era of Kirby, one that saw HAL returning to their beloved brand to be more hands-on at a time when the wildly popular New Super Mario Bros. made 2D platforming cool again. On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Stuart Gipp, and patron Andrew Oliveira (who sponsored this episode) as the crew explores this highly fruitful time for Nintendo's spherical hero.

Always a pleasure to be on. I think I've landed on Planet Robobot as being my favorite 2D platformer. Talking about it again brought back such fond memories of playing it. I'm glad Bob agreed with me about Mario Odyssey ripping off Kirby a bit. It feels like Odyssey and BotW are beyond critique, so I like to rattle those cages when I can. 😆 Also, I don't know if Louie's chirp noise is natural, but it reminds me of the sound dialogs make in Yakuza games.
