I appreciate the fact that Nintendo now creates such visually well-defined universes as shown in the artwork, and still keeping each universe visually appealing. With just a short glimpse on the artwork/gameplay for a game, it's easy to say that it's Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Yoshi's Wooly World, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker or Splatoon.
Compared those titles to the E3 footage of Mario Party 10, which just used a generic 3D HD Mario visual style, which to me feels much more dated.

It's interesting how many Nintendo games have varying artistic styles:
Mario: bright, colorful cartoon visuals
Donkey Kong: darker cartoon visuals
Yoshi's Woolly World: cute yarn visuals
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse: cute claymation visuals
Splatoon: very bright, colorful anime visuals
Game & Wario: 2D visuals with black-eyed characters

And the list goes on.

The Legend of Zelda: Cartoo.. err.. no cel-shad.. realistic!! perhaps more impressionistic?

Out of the games mentioned, I personally feel that Game & Wario is the only one that doesn't have a appealing graphics style. In fact, I'd say the graphics was one of the reasons why I stopped playing it. It's especially the animations that feel too "South Park" instead of "play one more time!". OTOH, I really appreciate that Nintendo make these visual gameplay experiments, because they get it absolutely right it in those other games.

I noticed the little amiibo logo. Nice indicator of the compatibility.

Yes, I don't think Kirby was a confirmed amiibo-supported game before.

So did we find out if this game is a full 60 monies, or a budget 40 monies? Not that I don't think this game looks fun and beautiful, buuuuut I don't want to pay full price for it at the moment.

Check out my YouTube channel if you love gaming, and Nintendo (especially Metroid) I think you'll enjoy my videos. :)

Oh man,

I am simply not a Kirby guy. But hey, I hope for those that are into this that this is yet again a Nintendo critical hit, because whatever else happens, at least critically they are doing awesomely with the recent releases (look at me conveniently ignoring Sonic Boom...). Whilst you happy Americans are hopefully enjoying this, I guess I will be part way through Cap'n Toad.

I entirely disagree, but I put almost way too much time into Canvas Curse.

I hope this one also has techno remixes of old Kirby music.

I love Kirby, but I'm also not too big on paying full price for a 2D Platformer. It's just a smaller scale experience, such that I don't really want to fork over full price. I'm even a bit reluctant about Triple Deluxe (though that's more because there are just so many other games on 3DS I'd rather spend $35-40 on.

I'm not if it's of particularly high quality. Platformers deserve all the money if they're great.

Quality isn't everything. Crush the Castle 2 is an extraordinarily high quality game, but I wouldn't pay more than 2 dollars for it.

I just preordered this on Amazon.ca for $45. I've never been a huge Kirby girl.... but this game looks so cute. If anything, I just want it so I can stare at the visuals.
