2D platformer/3DS Review/Kirby/Kirby: Planet Robobot/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/platformer/Reviews

Review by Sam M. Kirby has never been that kind of platformer that I would normally gravitate towards to. Something about the pink puffball, who can so easily inhale enemies and steal their powers, seemed almost villainous to me. More seriously, something that always put me off Kirby was the…
