![]() I say that in spite of the linear design permeating the game, and that's why I can't really get mad at it. Yes, it is no Canvas Curse, but it remains a solid title, a thoroughly pleasant little affair impossible not to be charmed by. On the opposite spectrum lies former employer Nintendojo and their perfect score, and while I cannot claim the same opinion, the Kirby connoisseur in me cannot help but come to Rainbow Curse's defense. With their B-team at the helm, the game itself hardly wowed like Canvas Curse a decade earlier, with fans deeming it either simply entertaining or writing it off as a disappointing budget effort. In contrast, it's not so surprising Rainbow Curse didn't meet the same acclaim: while the Wii U GamePad is a perfect fit for its gameplay (stylus and touchscreen, y'know) and its claymation aesthetic is every bit as ambitious, HAL's first HD game reverts to a more familiar presentation in bright colors and light-hearted tunes. Hailed as Nintendo's first truly original concept for Nintendo DS, Canvas Curse remains the handheld's hallmark for touchscreen play: drawing rainbow strokes for Kirby to coast along played unlike anything else in the market, and combined with a techno soundtrack and mish-mash of abstract aesthetics so alien to Kirby, it's little wonder it succeeded as it did. Even now, we must continue cherishing this pure countenance, for it is the last time Kirby bared this visage for an international audience.Īnywho, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is not only the one Wii U Kirby game, but is a sequel to 2005's Kirby: Canvas Curse, the one series entry notable for captivating non-fans. Ah, now there's the smile we know and love! As expected, Kirby's preciousness shines especially well through clay, and there is perhaps no better representative to bear it than Kirby and the Rainbow Curse: a claymation-based title matched only by Kirby's Epic Yarn in sheer cuteness. ![]()
