Mori, I am a bit late. But my main guy who has gone through Origins and Awakening is a dual wielding warrior who also tanks for his group which for origins was Wynn, Morrigan and Leliana. Never had a problem. So you can run fine without a sword and board warrior.
Yeah, unfortunately until we find a way to do better compression for high def we're not going to stop using physical media anytime soon, even with broadband. I mean hell, even streaming Netflix in HD takes like four or five gigs of bandwidth. A good 1080P download from live marketplace is like 8 gigs on average, and last time I rented an HD movie it still took me like an hour of downloading before it was buffered enough to start, and I couldn't fast forward.
Good H.264 encodes can get a 1080p stream down to about 10 mbps without sacrificing any quality. That's about 2 and a half hours of 1080p FMV in 12GB. So yeah, I guess even with the best we have today, it's still too slow. 720p is much, much more viable. A film fits into about 4GB at reasonable quality and can be streamed over most any broadband with just a little buffering.
For some reason, most services don't hit that sweet spot.

Can you combine two different powers to get different effects?
Like fire and spiky to get fire spikes or something?
I don't think that was introduced until Crystal Shards on the 64.
True, we downloaded that on the VC a couple weeks ago when I was looking for a fun kirby game to play and needed to spend some of my wii points I got last christmas.
My standard battle plan for non-dragon hard fights.
Rogue stealths in, sets up trap, crit shots a bad guy, runs to the rest of the part. Warrior has threaten on, whirlwinds. Drop mass paralyze and sleep on enemies. Throw on living nightmare. Clean up. Rinse and repeat.
Casters get petrify/stone fist. Or cone of cold/stone fist. With Awakening, use the dual wield combo on those I can't instant kill so they are slowed, on the floor and getting chain critted for about 100 a shot from my insane axes.

Honestly I rented Surrogates in HD from xbox live in 1080 and then watched it in 720 on Netflix Streaming and I couldn't tell a difference between the two.
I'm fine with 720 being the standard for streaming if it would help the market shift toward digital distribution.

My runthrough with a mage, I loved that one spell that made a baddie into a bomb, and when he died he would explode and cause others to become a bomb.
Combine that with the ice cone and stone fist to shatter the enemy.
4GB per video is still a lot for anyone not in a major American city or suburb. Canada has bandwidth limits, Australia has crazy bandwidth limits, etc.

I played it on normal or hard. I don't remember which, but I know I had to watch friendly fire. And living bomb though fun, could be dangerous to put on stuff that wanted to get in my face. Great on archers/casters though.
Also have a templar use its range aoe stun on a group of casters was the most awesome thing ever.

But it doesn't sound like you can ride 3 different pets that gain cool powers based on whatever powers you have recently absorbed.
So I am skeptical.

how many times do I have to quote myself
Like fire and spiky to get fire spikes or something?
Imagine when you get each power, a whole moveset is available to you. So great.
no, but like I said, each power has way more abilities than any other Kirby game.
Non d&d regulars make analogies that comic gabe would be proud of.
pleasepaypreacher.net
Which is that riding pets with unique powers based on the powers you absorbed was pretty goddamn awesome.
And this game doesn't have that.
So how can it be the best Kirby?
Blood mage in the capital city was utter bullshit, I had to glitch the game to complete it.
Rick, Kine, Coo or whatever that owl's name was and those other companions can suck it.
You can make a Wheelie helper you can ride though.
I don't think that was introduced until Crystal Shards on the 64.
I am trusting you
Because I had a rockin' good time with the Kirby game boy game.
So if this is better, then it will be awesome.
I am trusting you.
If this game sucks, I'm coming to kill you all.

It's good to see trust making a comeback.

That whole area was bullshit, I just used the cast spells in rooms glitch to cheat my way through that section.

That game was pretty sweet, though, no lie.

It's better that way.
I saw it, I think it was marketed as an action movie when it wasn't, but I thought it presented an interesting story.

mine was much simpler,
warrior charges in and taunts everyone.
mage casts forcefield on warrior.
2 bow rogues and a fireball kill everything.
