Carl B. of iNintendo.net writes, "On Auguest 3, 1992, Nintendo and developer HAL Laboratory released the very first Kirby title on Gameboy: Kirby's Dream Land. This simple platformer stars a grey puff ball named Kirby -- he didn't turn pink until later games in the series -- as he tries to return the food of Dream Land from the clutches of King Dedede. Nintendo re-released Kirby's Dream Land on the Nintendo 3DS eShop on June 30, 2011. Does Kirby's first ever adventure hold up to the more modern iterations?"
WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "We can respect and acknowledge those that came before us: it’s just good manners and showcases that we know our history. I will always be appreciative of Kirby’s Dream Land, and I think that Kirby enthusiasts (as well as Gameboy fans) should go back and give it a try. Yes, it looks and plays better in almost every subsequent incarnation, but there’s heart here. There’s a lot of care and soul and amazing groundwork that led to even better things. And, most importantly, there’s Kirby."
This was one of the first, if not the first, Gameboy games I played all the way through.
"Kirby has a long history of fun-filled adventures and it all started on the original Game Boy so let's explore his humble pocket-sized origins." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Kirby’s Dream Land was released 25 years ago on the Game Boy. To celebrate, Nintendo is hosting a special sale.
Ah, I have such fond memories of this game. It was the only one I had on my Game Boy for the longest time!
I loved this game back in the day, one of my first GB games.
I have 4 bucks on my eshop. I love Kirby, so I'm trying to decide whether to get it or not.
