Review Kirby and the Rainbow Curse (Wii U)
Clay achin'
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is a sequel of sorts to 2005's Canvas Curse, which is considered to be among the top titles the pink puff has ever starred in. That's pretty high praise and a tough act to follow — but 10 years on, Nintendo and developer HAL Laboratory are giving it another whirl. The result is a video game equivalent to a...

News Official Nintendo UK Store Flogs Rare amiibo in Bundles
That's the spirit...
Oh amiibo, what went wrong? Once a concept that brought happiness and a fulfilment of child-like dreams, it's become a frustrating, irritating endeavour where you can get Link anywhere, but some figures are over-priced, out of stock and rarer than an original idea in a Call of Duty game. Some rare figures include any in the...
News Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush Fails to Break Top 20 in UK Charts
Puzzle & Dragons dual pack fares worse
Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush finally arrived in Europe last week, a decent period of time after it landed in North America with the name Kirby and the Rainbow Curse. We're not convinced the delay has helped matters a great deal, however. The GamePad-focused title has had a disappointing first week in the...

About The Game
Kirby Like You've Never Seen Him Before
Do you have the magic touch? Then guide Kirby as he sets off on grand adventures in a hand-sculpted clay world. Draw lines on the touch screen of the Wii U GamePad controller to create rainbow-colored clay ropes to move Kirby around freely, or tap him to attack enemies or blast through obstacles. Transformations include a submarine, rocket and tank. In underwater levels, Kirby dons a swim mask. If his power level gets too low, a clay bandage appears on his head.
FEATURES:
- Kirby comes to life in a world of clay, which creates a beautiful backdrop for Kirby's adventure.
- You take control of Kirby with the stroke of a stylus and draw on the GamePad touch screen to guide Kirby through the world.
- Use the GamePad to control Kirby's many transformations in unique new ways.
- The intuitive drawing mechanic is a spiritual successor to Kirby: Canvas Curse for Nintendo DS that builds on the game play and takes it in a new direction.

Looks gorgeous.
Looks awesome!
I just found out that EU is going to have to wait till the second half of 2015.
I get that EU localisation can take a bit more time but how much work can a silent claymation-like adventure take to translate? (with emphasis on silent!)
And here I was thinking I'd be able to play in a month...
The game reminds me of Kirby: Canvas Curse for the NDS. I still want to get it though because Canvas Curse was one of my favorite games of the NDS, even if the game was short.
Why the hell is the release date listed here as Q4 2015? Wasn't it supposed to be Q2 which is also stupid and typical Nintendo behaviour.
$40? good purchase
Meanwhile in Europe...
This was my first Kirby game, and Wii U game in general
