The video seems to suggest that Kirby will have access to a gigantic sword, and be able to suck in roughly everything.

As Kirby gains in power, I fear escallation will spawn the anti-Kirby, and those will be dark days indeed.

While this particular model doesn't appeal quite as much as the final 3DS design, the idea of interchangable controls is very appealing. The downside -- how long before people started losing them, through carelessness or them wearing loose? The upside -- potential for some interesting games with two circle pads, and Mad Catz and others would release a host of 3rd party control nubbins.

There's something special about the way WB keep bringing back their characters, even long after their popularity peak. Makes me happy in a nostalgic way.

Gotta admit, though, I'm dubious about the "action style 3D game". That could go either way.

@bro2dragons - It kinda helps when you've got 4 of them and people aren't really paying attention (for instance at a social gathering). Then, being able to distinguish them is useful indeed!

@Wiiloveit - Chill, dude, it's doubtful anyone interested in the first game would judge it by a review of the sequel.

I hope this isn't the last time we see an improvement on a promising concept that fell just short. I want to support the developer just to praise them for acknowledging where improvements were needed, and not just shovelling out the same game with 3,000 new questions.

That squared paper look is seriously compelling. Really wishing I had a DSi about now, that's got to be an insta-buy in my books.

Enjoyable review, thanks!

Prestigious! Good for Frontier, and well deserved.

@ganondwarf16 - Couldn't agree more. Any MotionPlus game on WiiWare is likely to get a download from me, unless it looks especially bad.

I enjoyed the interview Sean, thanks.
