Kirby Planet Robobot: Game Review (Guest Vlogger)

kirby planet robobot boxOur family got a chance to play and review the new game, Kirby Planet Robobot for Nintendo 3DS, after we attended Kirby’s launch party in Los Angeles in June. The lovable pink hero returns in this sci-fi adventure: a villain has taken over Planet Popstar and threatens to mechanize the world. In this game, Kirby and familiar friends return, so players who loved them in past games will revisit their favorites. But there are new features, like Robobot Armor, added copy abilities, and the chance to tap a compatible amiibo figure for Kirby to inhale its capabilities and use them in Story Mode. Plus, you can play Team Kirby Clash, an RPG-style mini-game, with friends if you have additional systems and copies of the game.

Special to Agoura Hills Mom for this post is my son, Kyle, a boy I spawned and grew so that I could feature game reviews on my websites. (Not really, but it sort of sounds like Kirby inhaling an ability, doesn’t it? A little?) Kyle made this video in gamer-speak so that you would understand and know the coolest features of this new game before you start playing.

Kirby Planet Robobot kept both kids entertained while we were on a recent trip across the country. Our connecting flight got delayed 3.5 hours (I know) but this gave the kids the opportunity to play through Kirby Clash and declare it “super fun, Mom.”

We recommend!

Thank you to Nintendo and KidzVuz for sponsoring this post! All opinions are my own (and Kyle and Brady’s).

Disney Art Academy is more than just a game. It’s like a little drawing school in your Nintendo 3DS!

My sons tested it for me*, and I am excited to get my hands on it. I love drawing and coloring and my niece is a big Disney fan so I’ll be making pictures for her with it!

The 11-year-old likes the guided lessons. The game characters, including Minnie Mouse herself, guide you through the steps of drawing characters. Then when you are finished, the game takes your drawing and puts it into a scene! You can share your artwork through Miiverse or social media, and even print it out.

The boy says: “It’s a pretty fun game. For artists who want to draw and like Disney. At the end it was really funny because they showed a variation of the picture.”

You can set your own pace and choose from 80 different Disney and Pixar characters – yes, including Elsa from Frozen. 

But we’re sticking with Ms. Minnie for now.
