Hmmmm this is one of the few Nintendo franchises I haven't played so I can't offer an opinion on it but I still want a decent Star Fox Game.

If it helps, the most recent one for the DS, Command, was severely underrated.

Also of note on that list, besides the excitement of a potential new Kirby title for us here in the Americas, "The Legend of Zelda (temp)" also has a 2010 release in Japan. Two bits of excitement that are hardly paralleled! Oooh, it's making me hopeful!

FUCK YEAH, THE ONE SERIES WITH NO BAD ENTRIES.
Kirby Air Ride

I used to love Kirby when I was a kid, but I got older and the games didn't get any harder. I'm hoping this game puts up a challenge.
Air ride was awesome. The games didn't get harder because Kirby was designed to be for beginners.
Also: No bad Metroid games.
I LOVED Air Ride.

Though I do think that the Zelda series (CD-I outings excepted) hasn't had any bad games either.
Zelda: Four Swords Adventures and Link's Crossbow Training
Metroid: Metroid Prime Hunters. I'm sorry but that game was unplayable. I didn't like Metroid Prime Pinball either but my ex loved it, so yeah.

If you want to stick just to core adventure games, then Kirby, Metroid, Zelda, and Mario all have perfect records.
Four Swords Adventures was awesome! Hunters was amazing multi-player wise, even if the campaign was dull.

I really enjoyed Four Swords. The biggest problem was the set-up you needed to play it. However, if you had the 4 GBAs it was a fun game with some good ideas. Crystal Chronicals had te same problem. Crossbow Training can be burned in a firey pit though.

I've always liked the Kirby series, even Air Ride (although it would've been nice to have a Kirby platforming game for the GC, but whatever), so I'm quite excited for this

Also Kirby>Jigglypuff, it's a known fact.
I'm tempted to ask why you excluded Metroid for my amusement, though it's probably because of II.

On topic, while I'm not the most experienced with the Kirby series, I enjoyed Nightmare in Dreamland when I rented it. I could very well try this.

I'm not a huge Metroid fan. I've only played Fusion (pretty good) and Prime 3 (couldn't get into it).
Far enough. Personally I've played Prime 1 & 3, Super Metroid, some of Hunters, and a little bit of Zero Mission via a copy I found laying around. To elaborate:

Prime 1: Wonderfully atmospheric and one of the best games for the Gamecube, but some enemies are a ***** to fight (beam pirates come to mind), the designers apparently got sadistic when designing the Phazon Mines (it's referred to as "the gauntlet." Play it and you'll know why), and GODDAMN FISSION METROIDS!

Prime 3: Liked it in general, but as a Metroid game it doesn't quite work. For one thing the story is overt and has too many characters, which doesn't work for a Metroid game. Really, it felt too much like Halo. Secondly, it was rather linear, which in the franchise that half-made Metroidvania, horribly betrays the exploration and discovery the series gameplay is about. Thirdly, parts of it seemed gimmicky, like boarding your ship and using panels. I will say that I loved the brief ice world section, however (the one where you get the screwattack, if you don't know what I'm talking about).

Super Metroid: Now this I love! The controls may take a little getting used to, but are great after that. I loved the side-scrolling action, the exploration, the fun powerups, the bosses (frustrating as Ridley may be), and the atmosphere. To keep this from being an utter gush-fest, though, Maridia(sp) was a bit dull and large.

Hunters: If I wanted to play Quake II, I'd play Quake II!

Also, I'm somewhat looking forward to Other M.

Oh hell yes, I've been waiting for a new Kirby game to come out for quite some time! I don't think there was ever a Kirby game I did not enjoy. Kirby and the Crystal Shards for the N64 is one of my all time favorites.

So I definitely hope they bring back the move mimicking from Kirby 64. I miss the ability to combine ice with electricity to get the fridge power.

It's about time Nintendo realizes that Mario isn't the only platforming franchise they own. Good to see the pink puffball get some console love after having been designated a handheld franchise for so long.

I thought the NES title was the first, and then the gameboy title followed it shortly behind?

Sorry, more of a fact checking my own memory than a specific response to the story.
the GB one was first, then the NES one introduced powers.

That aside, HELL YEAH KIRBY. There hasn't been a single Kirby Game I haven't loved, even Tilt 'n' Tumble, I've been waiting with baited breath for the Wii game.
Finally.
