Topic: Kirby and the Rainbow Curse - OT

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.

Another Wii U game destined to be a hidden gem aka Wonderful 101 and Pikmin 3 status.

I think Pikmin 3 might've been saved by that Mario Kart 8 deal a while ago. I'd imagine a ton of people got it after that.

I think this game has a chance of being a mainstream success just because its Kirby. The gameplay is really the only thing holding the game back.

I bet the Yoshi game does really well.

Yup. That's exactly how I got Pikmin 3. Thanks to Mario Kart 8's sweet deal.

I got Pikmin 3, New Super Mario Bros. U, and Wind Waker HD from that promotion. I bought people's codes off them for the other 2 for avout $20 each.

Wow. Nice!!!!!!!

Probably because of Nintendo

I don't know why I have a feeling it will land in EU in like 2-3 year later or end up like Dream Collection.

I would be more hyped for the game if I didn't have to constantly look at the gamepad. I'd rather stare at the beautiful TV visuals.

Oh so it won't be a full priced title after all! Ok...

I mean, I'm certainly not gonna complain about a game costing less...

Is that actually real clay or CGI? I cannot tell the difference..

I love the finger prints on the artwork models, our is it just me seeing the fingerprints on them.

I'll try to learn to control the stylus while looking at the TV screen for this game. Seems to be well worth it.

I just watched an older interview about the demo today; the spokesperson for Nintendo (NoE) said that most of the staff were able to draw on the GamePad whilst looking at the TV screen after some practicing. It's certainly possible.

I believe that Kirby and the enemies are real clay while the environments are CGI. Don't quote me on that though.

Sorry for quoting you. I think Kirby is all-CGI, just like Yoshi's Wooly World. The pictures are clearly CGI (look at the round Kirby outline and you'll see that the "circle" outlines consists of a number of straight lines with rounded corners). Both these products seem extremely well done in terms of "realism".

The upcoming Amikrog game however, is real clay animations and I believe there has been a confusing mix between that title and Kirby by some of the gaming sites.

Those straight lines on the outlines are a result from photoshp' scissor/magic lasso tool because the Kirbys were cut from the background.

Keep in mind that those pictures are just promotional artwork. I know the game is CGI, and not real clay. But the promotional artwork looks very realistic, hence my original question.
