Launching today for the Nintendo DS™ family of hand-held systems, Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker™ 2 unleashes an epic adventure in which players can recruit, train and battle with imaginative monsters of all shapes and sizes.

New Hand-Held Adventure Lets Players Control Up to 10 Kirbys at the Same Time

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– If a group of lions is called a pride, and a group of dolphins is called a pod, what do you call a multitude of pink Kirby™ characters who swarm together for an action-packed portable adventure? The answer is Kirby™ Mass Attack, launching today for the Nintendo DS™ family of hand-held systems. This new installment in the fan-favorite Kirby franchise challenges players to control as many as 10 Kirbys at the same time as they smash through obstacles, defeat enemies and access new areas while adventuring through a series of colorful side-scrolling worlds.

In the Kirby Mass Attack game, the evil Necrodeus uses his magic staff to split the heroic Kirby into 10 copies of himself. Players must help Kirby return to his original form and save planet Popstar from darkness by guiding him on a quest through worlds fraught with enemies and obstacles. Players start with one Kirby and add more Kirbys to their crew by gobbling up fruit. With unique touch-screen controls, players can then use the stylus to flick Kirbys to break through obstacles, tap on enemy attackers to swarm them with Kirbys or gather Kirbys together and draw a line to carefully maneuver them in a mass. If Kirbys are knocked out, players can simply gulp down more fruit to rebuild their numbers.

Dual analog controls were something that fans would have been interested in seeing with the PSP. Responding to those requests, Sony made it a point to include two sticks for Vita. Nintendo also had the opportunity to include dual analog controls with their new portable, the 3DS, but opted for one Circle Pad instead.

As we saw just recently, however, Nintendo wasn’t satisified with one analog nub. That’s why they introduced the 3DS Circle Pad accesorry that numerous high-profile titles will take advantage of.

The additional Circle Pad attachment caused quite a bit of controversy when it was first revealed. Even some third-party developers aren’t pleased with the news.

You might be wondering what Sony thinks about the 3DS Circle Pad attachment. Shuhei Yoshida, president of Sony Computer Entertainment’s worldwide studios, actually said in a recent interview that “It was a bit shocking to see what they came up with.”

Here’s his full remarks:

“Well it’s not like they looked at PS Vita and said ‘we need to do that as well.’ I don’t know. It’s clear that they didn’t believe a second analog was necessary when they designed the 3DS, so I can only guess it was requested by Capcom’s side. Maybe a Capcom producer told Nintendo that to play Monster Hunter we need [two] analog sticks. That I don’t know, so I can only guesstimate. It was a bit shocking to see what they came up with.”
