| Salnax said: Kirby's Adventure (1993)
Synopsis: The second Kirby platformer, this is where Kirby got his trademark ability to copy enemy powers, a series staple. Though the Game Boy original created the Kirby series, this was the one that codified it, much like how Super Mario Bros codified the existing Mario series of platformers. Iwata's Role: Producer. Iwata would be the Producer for many Kirby games in the 90's including Dream Land 2 and 3, Super Star, and a couple of spinoffs. I also suspect that he lent some of his programming expertise, considering Kirby's Adventure pushed the NES hardware to its limit. Note that one part of the Butter Building stage had pseudo-3D graphics that could not be accurately remade in the GBA remake, Nightmare in Dream Land. |
I don't know if it couldn't be accurately remade; GBA had some games that were fully 3D. Probably didn't want to spend the time, or maybe did it for gameplay reasons (people might get confused by that layout?)
