Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
Chalk up another entry in the ‘disgustingly cute’ column. Kirby has always been cute. irby has always been experimentative, as Nintendo have never shied away from thrusting him into games that veer far from his series’ established formula. One of these was the celebrated Kirby Canvas Curse back on the Nintendo DS, and for Kirby’s first outing on the Wii U, Nintendo is bringing that style of gameplay back, with Kirby and the Rainbow Curse.
Considering just how well Canvas Curse played, that’s already cause for celebration, but that’s not even the end of it, as Nintendo is promising an expansion of everything that made Canvas Curse great, with Rainbow Curse. It also helps that the game looks great, as the new clay artstyle that Nintendo is employing for the game is simply gorgeous.
But it isn’t even about how the game looks or sounds- just look at the mechanics. This promises to be a game that plays like none other on the market, it promises to be a game that thoroughly and uniquely uses the Wii U Gamepad, and it promises to provide the kind of quintessential experience only Nintendo can. I’m a hardened Kirby cynic, and Rainbow Curse has even me won over. Good going, guys.
