This is qualified to help with post skyward depression.

I'm going to post it in the video game deals thread, but Toys R Us is giving a free $25 gift card with the purchase of this game. This week only. That's an amazing deal.

Out on tuesday!

Jim Sterling gives a Kirby game a high score! Shocking to say the least

Cool!

Already the butthurt fanboys have invaded the comments, though. For shame.

edit - I have to wonder what's going on with HAL's composers this year. Kirby Mass Attack's soundtrack was pretty meh at best, and now apparently this game's soundtrack isn't quite up to par either. Weird.

Between this and Rayman, I'm in platforming heaven this year!

@Zero I really need to start buying games at Toys 'R Us more.

Picking it up this week....can't wait!

@Guillaume

Platforming even, is that some sort of giant scale or something? Ooh is it one of those old fashioned ones that you always see in those Blind Justice Statues?

@Brick

I was posting from the iPhone.

Good stuff! Thanks kindly for the tip, Zero. Kirby is happy as well:

I'm psyched to pick this up on Tuesday. It was my favorite game of E3, and I friggin' love Super Star. I can play that game over and over due to the SSB-like movesets, and I expect this to be no different.

I just checked the ad and it says $25 gift card when you buy Kirby and a Wii system. I am disappoint.

@rebonack

Maybe he works for Toys R Us and is just giving false information to get more sales...ex-Gamestop employee too mayhaps?

@rebonack

That bums me out! Kirby is sad again:

On the plus side, it looks like K-Mart is giving out a $15 "gamer coupon" with a purchase of Kirby all this week. Gamer coupons are essentially like gift cards, but only applicable to video games. Not a bad deal, considering. It could go towards a future purchase of SM3DL, for instance...

And Kmart generally has a coupon deal for all big new releases. So if you use that $15 coupon on a new release, you'll likely get a new $15 coupon back. Pretty good deal.

Man, stores in Canada hardly ever have good deals on new games. I want gift cards, darn it!

@ploot

I know... I miss the random deals where games would be cheap for a few days. I got Arkham Asylum and Just Cause 2 on launch day for 40$

@ploot @VofEscaflowne

Well, you guys are in luck, because Walmart will be selling Kirby for $39.83 (see flyer here).

@rebonack You are correct, don't see how I missed that. Hmm, I was wondering why cheapassgamer wasn't all over this one.

But yeah, K-Mart has the $15 gamer card. And I already have $30 credit there from Batman, so maybe I'll go there.

@canonj

Dammit! I don't need more games!

Huh, I was playing Mass Attack earlier this evening and was being wow'd by the soundtrack - I was kind of... commenting to myself as to how surprisingly good it was.

@VofEscaflowne
I don't need more games either. But, I just may get this on Tuesday! Oh man...
