Are you interested in/hyped for Kirby and the Rainbow Curse?

Honestly, I'm a bit hyped. Obviously not as much as I am for other games coming out, but I'm getting it. I love the idea of using the touch screen to guide Kirby, and since I never played Canvas Curse, this is something brand new to me. I don't get the negativity towards this game.

it's not unlike the hate for tropical freeze. except that in this context it doesn't even make sense because hal labs makes kirby games, collaborates on smash bros. titles and does few other things (pokémon snap/stadium/stadium 2, back in the day)...

i also think people have a problem with the sheer number of good, colorful platformers on nintendo consoles, i really do. notice how everyone goes crazy over ori because it's literally the only one with the exception of littlebigplanet 3 in the xbox station 4's almost indistinguishable libraries... and it's not for lack of trying, either. remember blinx the time-sweeper? voodoo vince? etc. etc.

we on the other hand get yoshi's woolly world, mario maker and kirby and the rainbow curse in a single year. the ultimate proof of this is the amount of hate this post will probably attract.

Well, I'm not even talking about just non-Nintendo fans. Although I think you raise a good point.

There are many Nintendo fans who seem to be putting this game down and I don't get it. It's not like this is replacing anything else. HAL doesn't make Metroid or F-Zero or anything, so why be upset with them for making what they make? And it's not like this is just another typical Kirby game either, it's a sequel to a game that came out a decade ago with a brand new art style and new gameplay mechanics. If someone isn't into this game, I understand that, but there's absolutely no reason to insult it when it's not doing anything wrong.

Regardless, platformers are my favorite genre (can RC be classified as a platformer though? It seems like a special case) so I'm in heaven this year.
