Please bring back Kirby Battle Royale on Pretendo!

[random tapir]

Spam me of mentions the day a dev even start to work on this game it's my favorite online 3DS game and I am so sad I might wait x time before it gets even aknowledged... I saw some people are working on Team Kirby Clash Deluxe but this game does not even have multiplayer online please bring back little poyo in his only multiplayer online game on 3DS!

And thank you for everything anyway Pretendo team!

Also can't wait to be able to play it worldwide for the first time with buddies from different regions for the first time in the future as it has always been region locked like TFH !

[prime quail]

I've almost finished my playthrough of the story but it's too easy

[prime quail]

I know

it's not there

nobody's working on it

but we WANT someone to work on it

[random tapir]

Yes indeed this game is extremely fun online

I miss it a lot

[timber gull]

I miss this game so much...
I would really like to play again, please Pretendo do Kirby Battle Royale...

[prime quail]

we should start an online petition

[random tapir]

I swear we should lmao

I know some KBR servers with many people who would want to sign it.

[drowsy sinew]

Guys your looking at a small group of people doing a lot of work, a petition will do nothing

Just pe patient

[prime quail]

true...

unless...

we found someone with the skills required to join the pretendo team to wrok on kirby battle royale!

[sleek dirge]

Yeah i also want kirby battle royale online, i never tried it

[random tapir]

True

[random tapir]

The good new is that it's one of the most wanted game I saw most people on Miiverse asking for it

Smash already has a sequel for exemple

But KBR is unique

Personnaly I wish for #1 Kirby Battle Royale, then Need For Speed Most Wanted U and Wii Sports Club. (And Badge Arcade)

[sleek dirge]

Thats awesome!

[thin radish]

Asking more and more is only going to make devs not want to work on it. Be patient.

Every game has support planned in due time.

[sleek dirge]

You are right, sorry for insisting, its true they are working on LOTS of games at the same time, if you go see their list, they are working HARD. We just gotta wait guys. Let. Them. Cook.

[prime quail]

what I don't understand is why they're even working on pikmin 3, team kirby clash deluxe, and pokemon rumble world. Their online is super arbitrary.

[drowsy sinew]

Because they are the easiest to start with. Your comparing a simple leaderboard/data exchange with a whole entire multi-player game.

[random tapir]

True, if you want to work on the online of a Kirby game do Battle Royale not Clash, besides with Netpass it is completely useless.

[random tapir]

Everyone rather them working now on big online games than losing time on these tiny things.

Or fixing their servers on already compatible games

Like Kid Icarus & Splatoon don't work well

[prime quail]

TFH also don't work very well

but can't complain too much because it works at all

[drowsy sinew]

They aren't losing time tho? It's really up to them the games they wanna work on, they got Luigis mansion working and that's a pretty big title

They are a small team, they have more to their life than just working on the server 24/7. Influx of new users as well does not help as much

Also if your talking about "big games", kirby battle royale isn't one of them with these ratings lol

Just be patient, other people have lives too. All games will eventually be supported at some point.

I'm gonna shut this down now and say there's a reason why a lot of games are not supported yet. From what I know NEX (the architecture used for the Nintendo Network) uses a common set of libraries for its online games. All of these libraries have to reverse engineered in order to get the game to work on the Pretendo Network. The more of these libraries that are reverse engineered, the easier and faster games can be supported. Thus development is slow until we build these libraries up enough.

A big help to reverse engineering are Network dumps, as they can reveal how these libraries work and make it easier to recreate them. Right now since the NN shutdown, all of the dumps that were submitted by the community are being sorted through and analyzed, a process that takes time, which is why the roll out for new games since then have been very slow.

TLDR, The Pretendo Dev team's priority right now is looking through dumps to make development easier which will take time. Until looking through the dumps is finished, don't expect games to be supported anytime soon.

But Luigi's Mansion is playable online on the Switch while Kirby Battle Royale remains unique. As for the ratings they are rarely good, I've seen crappy games being overrated and gems being underrated, I litteraly saw someone rating Iron Fall as bad graphics with ugly textures but they are one of the best textures and beautifullest looking game on the 3DS.

Kirby Battle Royale has been misunderstood by the metacritics as a sort of party game,, which is not. It's like Zelda Wind Waker was very badly received on GameCube but it's a great game

[drowsy sinew]

Bro I get your saying but this convo is over, development of replacement servers isn't just a switch on and done, read what kaithefoox said and just be patient

[random tapir]

That's interessting, I see now why it's slow, tha's unfortunate but still amazing we have a dedicated team!

I wonder why it was faster for Wiimfi, are Wii and DS games easier to reverse engine?
