Dat clay-animated MODEL VIEWER in Kirby and the Rainbow Curse:

I still have reservations about needing to look at the shitty GamePad screen, but who am I kidding -- I can't resist model viewers, let alone one with models that look so handsomely handcrafted. :-D

You can see the thumb prints on the clay. This game's art direction is INSANE.

Spoiler

So again, let me look at the TV. Fucking GamePad.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

I want to eat this game

 

[bomblord1]

Are those graphics real time? It looks like real clay.

 

[Yonafunu]

The models are still viewable on the tv, right? RIGHT?

 

[Neiteio]

I want to eat this game

Game brings back childhood memories of eat Play-Doh

 

[Neiteio]

The models are still viewable on the tv, right? RIGHT?

Yes. I'm not worried about the model viewer. Just the actual gameplay. The gameplay is shown on the TV, but most people will need to look at the GamePad since you draw lines there. I'm hopeful one can play the game purely on the TV screen via muscle memory, but I'm not sure...

Yes, you can rotate around them in real-time

 

[kittens]

This isn't exactly on topic, but... The playable, in-game Dedede and Meta Knight versions of Kirby are unlocked via their respective amiibo, but is there any other way to unlock them? I'd be so pissed if they were amiibo only. I mained the Meta Knight costume back in Kirby Canvas Curse. :-(

 

[Nanashrew]

You understand me Neiteio. I love model viewers, and this game just looks so good.

 

[NateDrake]

Yes. I'm not worried about the model viewer. Just the actual gameplay. The gameplay is shown on the TV, but most people will need to look at the GamePad since you draw lines there. I'm hopeful one can play the game purely on the TV screen via muscle memory, but I'm not sure...

As long as the TV screen has an indicator of sorts I think it would be fine.

 

[Hero of Legend]

That looks so real it's UNREAL!!!

Seriously, how gorgeous can you get?!

Also I would think this is viewable on the TV, I mean the game itself is (see the off-camera vids from E3).

 

[SerTapTap]

Thought this was pretty awesome, can't wait for this game

This, and the weird gross lame stupid "once per day" thing for Amiibo are my only concerns about this game, Nintendo seems to be wading into gross F2P/monetization style stuff more and more lately. But the game seems to function normally without it.

 

[sn00zer]

Wait...did I miss the Nintendo Direct?

 

[Choomp]

I want that game for that feature on the most part. Kirby always wins me over with cuteness.

 

[Neiteio]

Wait...did I miss the Nintendo Direct?

It was at 9 a.m. EST, lol

 

[Platy]

Always impresses me how PERFECT they managed to copy the stop motion look

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

My megaton was the Splatoon customization but fuck yes this game is GORGEOUS.

 

[Off-Kilter]

Delicious product.

They aren't different abilities, just special bulked up versions of regular abilities plus the hats.

 

[random25]

I'm pretty sure it can be managed.

 

[GWX]

Beautiful. Nintendo should release Rainbow Curse's model viewer for the 3DS, I would buy it at a high price.

 

[EhoaVash]

this game is sooo fucked releasing on the same day as new 3DS and MM3D

 

[Dictator93]

It looks like real clay.

It really doesn't.

 

[Leafhopper]

Wait...did I miss the Nintendo Direct?

Did you not see all these threads?

 

[maxcriden]

LOL as soon as I saw that I thought of you, Neiteio!

 

[Japanmanx3]

Looks amazing.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

That gorgeous clay. I want to grab all those in my hands and squeeze them. Feel that mushing clay!

 

[Neiteio]

My megaton was the Splatoon customization but fuck yes this game is GORGEOUS.

Yeah, my megatons go something like this:

Model viewer in Kirby and the Rainbow Curse >>> Custom gear and hub world in Splatoon >> New Fire Emblem with new waifu (

Spoiler

people who hate that term, relax, pls

) >> everything else

I should say, though, that in terms of what is most EXCITE, the fact MM3D is freaking next month is all kinds of amazing.

Gonna fish the fuck out of the new fishing ponds, and gonna look at errythang with dat c-stick

 

[MSMrRound]

My megaton is that the Fire Emblem characters have feet.

 

[Neiteio]

It really doesn't.

What is this, a clay-off?

*crosses arms and starts bobbing head to hip-hop beat*

Show me clay more clay-like than dat.

*keeps bobbing head*

Your move, son.

 

[ciD_Vain]

It really doesn't.

i know right

 

[bomblord1]

It really doesn't.

It really does.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

That's pretty cool.

But the real megaton is either $10 Metroid Prime Trilogy or Rhythm Heaven lives.

 

[metsallica]

This thread should be about RHYTHM HEAVEN.

 

[Neiteio]

That's pretty cool.

But the real megaton is either $10 Metroid Prime Trilogy or Rhythm Heaven lives.

The Metroid Prime games had model viewers, right? And the Trilogy is three games in one.

According to my calculations, this would mean the Metroid Prime Trilogy might have three model viewers, which is more than one.

So you might be right.

 

[fluffydelusions]

i know right

 

[Tom Nook]

I can see Nintendo and Play-doh team up and produce play sets to make your own.

 

[VLiberty]

Came here expecting the announcement of Mario vs Donkey Kong for 3DS too

left disappointed.

 

[Josh7289]

You're right, OP.

 

[kittens]

They aren't different abilities, just special bulked up versions of regular abilities plus the hats.

Are you sure? They made it sound like a pretty direct effect. Dedede gives you six health bars and Meta Knight gives you faster dashes. Are those abilities that are accessible in other ways? In Kirby Canvas Curse they were unlockable bonuses.

 

[Baroquemantic]

It really doesn't.

I agree. It looks nowhere near real. It does look good though.

 

[Neiteio]

It's kind of stressful, really.

Having a model viewer this good means I'll be compelled to take countless 720p shots using the Internet Browser --> abload.de trick.

Then I will have a whole gallery of images of each clay model to share on GAF.

But at the same time, I only have two eyeballs. It is impossible to look at them all at once.

Thus, I will feel forever irritable.

Why, Nintendo.

 

[Chris B]

Adorable.

Such an oversight on Nintendo's part.

 

[Gonzo The Great]

Beautiful. I can't wait to see King Dedede in clay form. :3

 

[LiquidNarwhal]

It really doesn't.

It uh, yeah I got nothing it just looks like a lumpy model to me. Not really clay at all.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Thought this was going to be about that mahjong game they made lol.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Everything you listed as me hype as fuck, but Majora's + MH4U + N3DSXL the SAME FUCKING day is just insane and I'm still processing it.

Also Waifus ftw, I'll admit that part of why I started to use the term a lot is because people hate it haha.

 

[Bomber Bob]

It really doesn't.

lol what are you a clay snob?

 

[Brazil]

This game, man.

This game.
