It shows $39 on Nintendo's site but most retailers shows $59. I wish Best Buy would update their price to $39 so I can get it pre-ordered with GCU.
You should fix that. Canvas Curse is amazing.
This looks too good. Just a month away.
My concern with stylus control is that I'm going to end up looking at the GamePad screen and not at the pretty visuals on the TV

This makes me kind of wish MH4U and MM3D didn't release a week before this game. I loved Canvas Curse and I would love to get this in the future.
I also had the game pre-ordered from Gamestop and they were like it is $59.99 and I was like I thought it was only $39.99, so I cancelled my pre-order.
Now I just looked on the site and Gamestop has their price corrected to $39.99. Amazon still shows $59.99.
I will need to pre-order it again.
This makes me sad. It's like the bad opinion of "3D world isn't a true 3D Mario game." Canvas curse is literally the best and most inventive Kirby game. If you haven't player it I'm sorry. If you can't deal with this innovative game I feel bad for you, son. miss out on it then. This is one of those games you just have to go crazy fanboy for. Just like I do for resi 4, uncharted 2, and Galaxy 2.

I never got a chance to play Canvas Curse and am super pumped for this one. Wish more developers would use that claymation art style.
It breaks my heart because Canvas Curse is one of my most favoritest games ever, but I really really don't think this looks good. The difference in animation fluidity between different elements on screen is jarring (i know i know, "that claymation feel", but the end result simply isn't great imo), and most importantly I just don't find the end picture to be beautiful :/
I appreciate making a whole game out of clay, but I just don't like how it ended up looking. That first vid does nothing to me, the waterfalls are especially not good, and the uber-blur in the background is the worst thing ever.
Compared to Kirby Epic Yarn or Yoshi's Wooly World for example who instantly melt my heart, this one at best does nothing me, though I'm pretty sure the gameplay is awesome :/

Not really, I can watch it 60fps on Internet Explorer 11
Gonna watch it later though.
I just tried in IE11 and it literally just sped the video up 2x and made the music all dumb.
I'm going to watch it on the TV while playing.
Games usually still look gorgeous on the smaller screen. Sonic All Star Racing was terrible so something bad can happen, but it's rare. Playing DK or Rayman on the GamePad is still a visual feast.
Not really. I'm sure you, and everyone who plays it, will get used to it without looking at the pad screen pretty fast.
Can you please point me to a mobile game that looks and plays like this? I would really like to play such a game on my Nexus 6.

Yea, the MSRP is $39.99 according to Nintendo's site. I love how Nintendo isn't always locked into $60 for every single title.

Gamestop and Wal Mart show it as $39 but the rest show $59 from what I've seen. I would prefer to get it from Best Buy with GCU it makes it $34. I'm also having trouble finding the Mario Party 10 version that comes with the Mario Amiibo. I don't see it available anywhere other than Newegg
The game looks gorgeous and I can't wait to start out the 2015 Wii U games with Kirby!
Looks has nothing to do with their comment. Given the nature of mobile games, it can't be that hard to find one where you draw the path characters take.
I'm also on the "I'd prefer a classic Kirby. . ." bandwagon. That doesn't mean this game looks like ass (people are so damn defensive about the WiiU). At that price point though, it might be worth a gander.
So looking at how the goal game at the end of the stage allows you to unlock one of the pages in the collectibles menu I wonder if they're going to be randomized like the small keychains in Triple Deluxe or level specific like the larger ones. In the other video when they go through the book in the collectibles the pages they've unlocked are all over the place but look related to certain levels.
I'm really hoping so, since it looks gorgeous. Sadly the WiiU isn't like a Wacom, where you can hover the pen over the pad and it still detects position without registering pressure. Either way, it's a day one purchase.

while the rest of us wait for the game, enjoy some official rainbow curse 4koma (scroll down)

Gotta say, this kind of deflated my hype, if I'm being honest. :/
I mean, I'm still gonna buy it and love it, but I adore playing these games co-op and it looks, to me, like the co-op isn't that good. The Waddle Dee character spent most of the video getting zapped around because he can't keep up with Kirby. I can't imagine playing as him being anything more than a frustration, because Waddle Dee doesn't seem to have any of the abilities necessary to keep up. He basically only looks useful when an enemy appears and otherwise can just stand around and enjoy getting teleported every time Kirby moves.
I hope that I'm wrong and that that was just a bad video. But as of now, I'm a little disappointed.

That music and clay! Canvas Curse is my favourite Kirby game, so I'm pretty excited for this!

Exactly what I was thinking while watching the Wispy Woods video posted by Gamexplain. It's the only video I've watched outside of trailers and the art style and animation blew me away but then I realised I'll be viewing it on a small screen the whole time since it uses the touchscreen.
I think I'm definitely going to pick it up though just because of how charming it looks

To be fair to the game, they stated in the comments of that video that it was just one person controlling both characters, so it probably works better with a full 2-people

Ah, okay! I didn't read it. That allays my fears somewhat. Thanks.

The visuals are tripping me out. I really can't tell if I like them or not but there is something really compelling about the aesthetic.
I keep expecting the California Raisins to pop out
Claymation-style art doesn't happen all that often these days. The last game that I can think of pulling it off and got some serious notice was The Swapper, but most people didn't even notice it was made in that same style (and quite literally, at that).
And especially for the quick release after its announcement without resorting to an Excitebots "guess what? it's out in a month!" dump announcement.
