Kirby's Dream Land (GB)

Could this be the "definitive" Nintendo game...

Game of the Day

Name: Kirby's Dream Land

Released: 1992

Developer: HAL Laboratory

Platform: Nintendo Game Boy

The pink little puff-ball began his adventures on this game. Set in the land called Dream Land, Kirby sets out to defeat King Dedede and reclaim his food. Now Nintendo usually cater to a family experience, but this is most definitely a kids game. Why is a kids game on the list as a contender for being the definitive Nintendo game, you may ask? Because it does it so wonderfully. This game could have become a really cheesy game but the levels are well-constructed, the bosses are of decent difficulty (not to mention one of them is a tree) - and well let's face it, Kirby seems to make any game better. The game is a short but rewarding one and is most likely to bring out your inner child.
