Kirby’s craftiest adventure ever just got extra epic!
One ticked-off sorcerer just banished Kirby, warping the poor puffball to a yarn world in need of saving. The twist? Having a yarn body is epic! Kirby can transform into knitted wonders like tanks and flying saucers. Plus, his new ravel abilities mimic his classic copy abilities, adding something new to every stage of this action-adventure game!
Ravel abilities allow Kirby to drop buttons like bombs or wield a wire like a sword. And that's just the beginning of all the makeshift magic. Dead end? Unzip a secret passage. Too dark? Unbutton the night to shed some light. Boss blocking your way? Unravel its face! As you play, you'll collect decorative treasures for Kirby's Pad. Show yours off with the StreetPass feature! If story mode isn't tough enough, see if you can earn more collectibles in Devilish Mode. In this harder mode, you must survive without invincibility as devils obstruct your path through each stage. There are also all-new minigames starring Meta Knight and King Dedede!
Kirby is ready for action in a whole different dimension—the third dimension! Have a blast inhaling foes and blowing them away in 3D environments across 25+ stages. Inhale enough enemies and you can launch one huge Blaster Bullet capable of wiping out a troop of Waddle Dees. Now's your chance to battle iconic bosses like Kracko Jr and King Dedede in 3D!
Inhaling multiple enemies to launch Blaster Bullets is a great way to pump up your score and go for a bronze, silver, or gold star. Another way to score big is to rack up a combo by continuously firing at enemies without missing. Or you could always just collect coins as you jump across platforms. As you progress, you'll unlock EX stages, which provide a tougher challenge to master. Celebrate your victories by tapping a Kirby series amiibo figure to build a statue in the plaza that plays new music!

Similar to last year’s Mario & Luigi™: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions game, this new game for the Nintendo 3DS™ family of systems is a remake of a classic Mario & Luigi action RPG adventure. This time, fans can replay (or play for the first time) Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story, one of the most critically acclaimed games in the Mario & Luigi series, with new graphics and a new mode that tells the behind-the-scenes story of Bowser Jr. Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr.’s Journey launches exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. Game in 2D.
I won't complain about this game specifically, but... Nintendo (since the Wii) tends to be the platform to get a second wind out of previously released games. There are some games there, especially from first party... and they're undeniable but all the re-releases are underwhelming. I won't say its because the games suck, but buying new(er) consoles just to backtrack is... not exactly something I look forward too. I may sound like a hypocrite after pushing for Shenmue 1 & 2 to make a return, but that was in light of Shenmue 3 and holding onto the hope that the first two could be remade. In addition, Shenmue 1 on the Sega Dreamcast allowed for you to pick up in part 2 where you left off.
So... put that together and it spells out my desire to have the saves be usable in Shenmue 3. Other consoles aren't free of re-releases, I just notice it more on Nintendo since the Wii. If you're going to re-release... add something to make the replay worth it. Granted, not everyone has pleased every single re-released game, but... it wouldn't affect them in the negative to get more out of the deal as a result of supporting the second wind game.
