I can't wait to see what Clay Dedede looks like.

 

[Powerwing]

Should be on Nintendo's twitch. Past Broadcasts.

Just go back in the player.

Thanks bros

 

[Yonafunu]

Treehouse is killing it right now.

 

[Mesoian]

I didn't want this game.. Stop it Nintendo. Robbing me of all my money.

I went into this show planning on buying 2 wiiU games this year.

Now it's looking like 6.

What's the best Kirby games guys? I have never played one, apart from a little bit of the 3D-remake in color VC game on 3DS, which I frankly thought was a bit boring

Spoiler

don't kill me, genuinely interested in playing the good ones

 

[ShineALight]

This is gorgeous.

 

[starmud]

kinda wish this was a handheld game... i just dont know how long i'd want to hold the gamepad for play sessions

 

[QuixoticNeutral]

I really like the fact that everything moves in these stop-motion-animations, like an animated movie. ^^

The effect is compounded by the artificially low frame rate of the background animations (not the frame rate of the game in a technical sense, which is smooth as can be). The movements of the trees and flowers look discrete in a way that captures the stop-motion aesthetic perfectly; the animation frames look spaced out from one another, if you know what I mean.

People harp on the technical ability of the Wii U (a legitimate concern when it comes to multiplatform porting from third parties) but Nintendo games like these, stretching all the way back to the tradition of storybook games like Yoshi's Island and Paper Mario, are built to age incredibly well. Timelessness isn't an accident; it's a consequence of long-term thinking in good design.

Canvas curse on DS.

 

[Linkyn]

So guys, is that Audrey Drake?

Maybe someone should put this in the OP

Spoiler

yes

 

[Ansatz]

Nintendo devs finding ways to work around Wii U's technical limitations results in impressive artstyles. Kirby, Yoshi's Wooly World, Zelda U... Glorious stuff.

I wouldn't say their artstyle is the result of technical limitations.

 

[CarlieCaplin]

Damn...that Kirby gets all the girls

Btw. is this going to be an eshop game or is there going to be a retail release?

 

[Mine01]

Wasnt sold on this game, now i need it.

My wallet is happy most games are 2015 but my heart is sad.

 

[Niraj]

This and Yoshi's Woolly World both look so good. Great stuff.

 

[victreeb3l]

This whole Kirby segment, from the presenters and the game, is so freakin cute. Like I'm dying of the cute.

Canvas Curse is the best Kirby game.

If we're talking specifically Kirby games that are actually traditional Kirby games, Amazing Mirror

 

[GeeDuhb]

Blonde girl staying for Kirby? Boo

Oh wow the theme for this Kirby is clay?

Holy shit this really does look like claymation lol.

Audrey sounds super adorable

Maybe it is just me, but I find her the most annoying person on the stream...she sounds like a dumb blonde...

 

[jeffers]

I wrote this off in the Event since I thought was just robot chicken making a homage to canvas curve

 

[Loco4Coco]

Good, I thought it'll Epic Yarn all over again.

Super Star is a must play. Epic Yarn is a great one as well.

 

[LGom09]

Make it the title.

 

[AdanVC]

Seeing art styles like this, Yarn Yoshi or Rayman just makes me more confused about the state of Mario side scrollers. Compare NSMB to this.

Yeah, as much as I love NSMBU the graphics look damn uninspired compared to this type of games. Hope the next side-scroller game can be get more wild in terms of art-style. My dream is to see a Mario game with this art style:

 

[Subv3rsi0n]

Water level looks amazing

 

[ImLibo]

This looks amazing,sooooo cute

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Yeah we've gotten to the point where we have regulars hosting.

 

[Revven]

The level design

 

[Lyonaz]

Loving the music.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Kirby looks angry again (title screen)

Anyways, I am loving this game. The water mechanic is new.

 

[Tehalemi]

BREAKS ARE FOR THE WEAK!!!

Avalanche, Canvas Curse, Super Star, Dream Course, Tilt'n'Tumble, Epic Yarn (even though it's super easy), and the last one for the Wii.

 

[FrsDvl]

I like the dark haired girl better than the other one.

 

[Odrion]

this reminds me of the late 90s/early 2000s where everyone got excited that with the new hardware we got to see a sudden shift in fidelity for the franchises we love

except now instead of more powerful hardware meaning sharper graphics or textures, it means Nintendo gets to use it for some really creative art styles.

 

[TitusGroan]

Visually the game is just incredible. They have absolutely nailed that claymation look. Totally looks like something Aardman would come up with, and that's the best praise I can think of.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

"Come on Kirb!"

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Anyways, I am loving this game. The water mechanic is new.

Lol

 

[Shard]

Oh good, transformations are still in the game.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Bandage Kirby? D'aaaw

 

[Shahadan]

Maybe it is just me, but I find her the most annoying person on the stream...she sounds like a dumb blonde...

Yes, annoying voice and saying dumb things. And constantly doing that shit with her hair. It's like a big walking cliché.

 

[jmizzal]

Is this Kirby game by Hal?

 

[ArchedThunder]

That's Audrey Drake, former IGN Nintendo. She's dyed her hair since then.

Ah, that's where. I didn't know she works at Nintendo now.

 

[Exile20]

kinda wish this was a handheld game... i just dont know how long i'd want to hold the gamepad for play sessions

rest it on your leg?

 

[Neiteio]

They just confirmed more transformations. No surprises there, but I'm excited to see what they are.

Also, some really fiendish obstacle courses in this game. Kirby just swam through a billion Gordos while being propelled by water currents. Like threading a needle!

Music is so good, too. And the variety of backdrops is INSANE!

 

[jj984jj]

This looks great too. Sequel to my favorite Kirby. And the clay style is so cute.

 

[Scoops]

Wow that water level looks good

 

[Beelzebub]

What's the best Kirby games guys?

I know its not as popular but my favorite is Dream Land 3

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Is this Kirby game by Hal?

Yes

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

This looks sooooo good.

 

[Lyonaz]

That's another game I'm buying. Damn it Treehouse!
