Kirby Like You've Never Seen Him Before

Do you have the magic touch? Then guide Kirby as he sets off on grand adventures in a hand-sculpted clay world. Draw lines on the touch screen of the Wii U GamePad controller to create rainbow-colored clay ropes to move Kirby around freely, or tap him to attack enemies or blast through obstacles. Transformations include a submarine, rocket and tank. In underwater levels, Kirby dons a swim mask. If his power level gets too low, a clay bandage appears on his head.

FEATURES:

• Kirby comes to life in a world of clay, which creates a beautiful backdrop for Kirby's adventure.
• You take control of Kirby with the stroke of a stylus and draw on the GamePad touch screen to guide Kirby through the world.
• Use the GamePad to control Kirby's many transformations in unique new ways.
• The intuitive drawing mechanic is a spiritual successor to Kirby: Canvas Curse for Nintendo DS that builds on the game play and takes it in a new direction.

Looks nice! Should be on 3DS but it seems safe to say Nintendo isn't focusing on the system that actually makes them money!

Nah, i'm happy to see this on Wuu. That clay aesthetic is wonderful

Great to see this on the Wii U, but was I the only one to find Canvas Curse absolutely frustrating at times?

US box art revealed.

It's a game about drawing eyebrows with the stylus.

That's a beautiful looking game.

Can this possibly be as good as Sonic Boom?

[YellerDog]

Looks way better.

Kirby gets better pinball games than Sonic, historical precedence. This is just a slightly abstract pinball game.
