While I'll buy this game because of the clay, I'm really wondering if this'll end up being the norm for HAL Laboratory.

I sure wish it won't.

...explain

Almost everyone who thinks this game is only a lazy cute little meh game never played Canvas Curse. The gameplay of that game was a-m-a-z-i-n-g.

So this game just can´t be bad, is the same awesome gameplay with new ideas, great graphics and great music. Even its lowest points are better: the bosses, are so much better than the ones on Canvas Curse, and the lenght, is 7 hours plus collectibles, Like Canvas Curse, but now you have a multiplayer (and the game is actually cheaper than Canvas)

And that game had an 86 on meta. 10 years later a 75 - 80 is still a good score imo, i´m waiting so bad for this game but i´m on Europe, where Nintendo seems to  hate us XD

Nintendo Enthusiast: 8/10

I got to admit... The scores are making me want to get it now... not to mention it's affordable ($39.99). Seeing how Hyrule Warriors got a 75 and I really enjoyed it... maybe I'll add it to my collection just yet.

For anyone on the fence about buying this game, I just finished it today (the only thing I have left to complete is Challenge Mode) and my advice is, buy it if:
a.) You're a fan of Kirby
b.) You're a fan of platformers
c.) You like using the Gamepad in unique ways
d.) All of the above

It's a really fun game and at a modest price of $40, you really can't go wrong. I will never understand the 4 or 5/10 scores. Coming from someone who got every collectible, it was frustrating at times, but I never once got a game over like that chick from GameSpot. She must've sucked.

Nintendojo gave it a 100. Up to a 76 meta now.

YAAAAY Nintendojo! ^^

mine is still on the mail on its way D:
