Help ID a DS Game for me?

Post by GryeDor »

I saw a DS game at a GameStop a few days ago and made a mental note to check it out online when I got home (i.e. reviews, videos, etc...) but cannot remember the name of it for the life of me. Can you guys help?

Here's what I remember...

• It was a platformer
• It had a pretty stylized look to it - sort of how Yoshi's Island had such a graphically different style than other platformers.
• The cover featured what I assume to be the main character that looked sort of like a duck.
• Pretty sure the title began with a letter somewhere in the middle of the alphabet... K, L or M

I know that's not a lot to go on, but if you can help, I'd appreciate it!

I've heard a lot from Nintendo Power about Ivy the Kiwi? (The question mark is actually in the game title.) It sounds like a pretty fun platformer and it's the kind of game I personally would pick up after the 3DS is released, due to my small income. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if you can find it for around $10 used by January.

Its a pretty cheap title, in Australia most games retail for the $80-$100 mark, Ivy was $30.
Yuji Naka, programmer of Sonic the Hedgehog on the genesis, developed it, so you should see some pretty solid platforming mechanics.

I've been meaning to pick this one up. It looks like a good blend of platforming and puzzle elements. Plus, it looks gorgeous and is made by the father of Sonic.
