Goron_3 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 5 hours? Ugh! "Buy more amiibo"! I'm surprised they didn't base it around pointer controls once they decided to put it on the Wii U.
Wii Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Pointer controls definitely would have been a better choice or at least an option.

dazzybee Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Can we ban all activity in this thread for it being a perpetually tease? Also as it's a painful reminder at how inept and nonsensical Nintendo's decisions can be!

Also as it's a painful reminder at how inept and nonsensical Nintendo's decisions can be! It still boils my blood that we aren't getting this yet. Had the release schedule been jam packed then I could understand but as most of us know, it's far from packed.

Glen-i Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Giant Bomb's review http://www.giantbomb.com/reviews/kirby-and-the-rainbow-curse-review/1900-696/ If Nintendo was more open to bringing its properties to mobile and tablets, I could see the game being more appealing as a cheap eShop or iPad title. Oh, eff off! You can't bump down a game because it's not on an iPad. That has nothing to do with the actual product! The rest of the review was a fair opinion, but that's just dumb.
Andyliini Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Kirby and The Rainbow Paintbrush rated in Australia. Like Yoshi's Woolly World before, this one is also rated G for very mild violence.
khilafah Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 really think nintendo should have released this on the 3DS instead
Dcubed Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Yup, people not reviewing it for what it is but rather what it isn't... As expected (Power Paintbrush sequel gets slammed for playing like Power Paintbrush, go figure :p ) The usual garbage comments about that it should be an iPhone game as well... About the only worthwhile complaints I can see are the repeated boss encounters (exactly the same as its predecessor, but still disappointing to see again), the lack of gameplay integration of the clay art style (that's something that Kirby's Epic Yarn did really well, so it's a shame to see it just being relegated to an aesthetic choice here) and the lack of copy powers (that's... interesting... I wonder why they chose to do that, considering that Power Paintbrush had them...) Lack of multiplayer impressions are expected and disappointing (these reviewers almost never give local multiplayer a fair shake; still, at least the guys at Destructoid gave some decent impressions, so props to you!) I'd disregard any complaints about the controls. Power Paintbrush got the same complaints and anyone who's actually played the game would know that they worked fantastically well (and of course most reviewers suck at games anyway - so anything with non-standard controls always gets slammed anyway). That's something that's really going to play well on the Gamepad with that massive screen! Only problem here for me is that it's not out here for ages Edited February 18, 2015 by Dcubed

Hero-of-Time Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) It's coming on May 8th So we are getting this, Splatoon and Mario Kart DLC in the same month. Why not spread them out, Nintendo? Still, happy to see it get a date now. EDIT: I see the title has been changed to match the DS game. Guess that's why it took so long to get to our shores. Edited March 11, 2015 by Hero-of-Time
Serebii Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 So we are getting this, Splatoon and Mario Kart DLC in the same month. Why not spread them out, Nintendo? Still, happy to see it get a date now. EDIT: I see the title has been changed to match the DS game. Guess that's why it took so long to get to our shores. Along with Splatoon amiibo (South African retailer that posted those also posted May 8th date for Kirby, so it's looking like that), plus Codename STEAM and Puzzle & Dragons Mario on 3DS. Our wallets.

Our wallets. I don't understand why they do this all the time? Releasing big games so close to each other ain't good for gamers wallets or time. It also doesn't make sense when you have months and months of nothing. Luckily I don't care for Codenamed Steam in the slightest, Puzzle & Dragons doesn't have my interest....yet and Mario Kart is already paid for. Plus, Kirby is supposed to be a very short game, even when going for 100%. Hmmm looking at it like that then it doesn't look too bad.
Dcubed Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 It's coming on May 8th Well now, that's much better than I was expecting (was worried that Q2 would mean July-August...) Still think that they should've aimed for March/April. Now they would've had 3 months of nothing for Wii U, then another 2 months of nothing followed by 2 big releases in the same month :p Along with Splatoon amiibo (South African retailer that posted those also posted May 8th date for Kirby, so it's looking like that), plus Codename STEAM and Puzzle & Dragons Mario on 3DS. Our wallets. What? Nintendo of Europe, planning release schedules poorly? Well I never
RedShell Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Yep, no Kirby for me at launch then. Hopefully means I'll be able to pick it up a bit cheaper at some point.
V. Amoleo Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 May?! I was expecting it late March maybe early April.
Wii Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 They need time to remove Curse and put in Paintbrush. It's a big job that takes several months.
dazzybee Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 I'm glad we have a date, but nintendo are so fucking weird! Nothing for months on end, then too much all in one month...
