"the frustrating followup to canvas curse"

lol between this and the gamespot video where the reviewer dies to loving Whispy Woods, I'm chalking this up to just people somehow being bad at a Kirby game.

Kirby has never particularly reviewed super well to begin with. I mean the games have managed to score well into the mid-80 range in the last ten or so years but Kirby's not for everybody so it's understandable.

At least things fare better now a days and it's not like how things were back in the Air Ride Days.

Oh man that one quote at the bottom of the list...

quote:

Don't pick this one up unless you're really hard up for a multiplayer game or until it drops to $19.99.

Joke's on us, I don't think a physical copy of Kirby Air Ride ever even went that low.

Looking at her picks for Best Games of 2014, she gets a nod for Child of Light and Transistor, but I can't be doing with the Shadow of Mordor and Boring Defuck love :(

Why are you acting like review scores should be some objective measure of quality? Were both of the games even reviewed by the same person?

Kirby doesn't get mad. It's okay, man. Be cool. It's un-Kirbylike to be so worried.

Kirby will wait patiently until you have enough money. Kirby understands that money can sometimes put people in difficult positions where they have to make choices that they wish they didn't have to make. As long as you remember to make time for Kirby, Kirby will make time for you.

Just wanted to say Gamespot gave Tropical Freeze a 6/10 so if you think you should pay any attention to them think again.

Only on the outside cover. Inside the game he's still the same lovable pink ball of whatever he is.

Someone usually upsets Kirby by inconveniencing him at the beginning of his games. His anger at this inconvenience is usually his main driving force. Look out BottledBodhisvata he's coming for you :ohdear:

If it's anything like recent Kirby games, Rainbow Curse will probably easy enough to beat, but willing to punch you in the sternum if you want all the collectables.

It's not. The only challenge comes from the challenge stages but they're easier than the ones in Canvas Curse due to being way shorter.

Maybe you're just really good at kirby games and it actually has a decent challenge.

However, in all honesty, I think the challenge comes from using the stylus to move. That's what always hosed me over in Canvas Curse.

I have a roomate who hogs the TV so I am actually looking for more games you can play just in the pad, so this game will own.

Said roomate is also getting me the game for my birthday, so he is not all bad.

why do people need to feel they need to justify their purchase when this game is cuteness, happiness and fun distilled into its purest form.

It's almost as if you have to be some kind of neckbeard to care about whether it's on the television or the gamepad :reject:

should I pre-download this? anyone know how much hard drive space rainbow curse takes?

It takes up roughly 3.5 gigs.

Most Kirby fauna aren't usually beholden to an overlord like a Bowser or Ganon so I dunno why he just doesn't change careers. Most Dreamland residents probably don't even recognize the crown of Dedede.

When was the last time Dedede even did any archenemy shenanigans to Kirby? Mass Attack?
