Nintendo Post E3 Event
interesting way, is something
that I started to see more and
more as I saw more games.
Kirby & The
Rainbow Curse
Once again, adorable. This
game seems to be even more
aimed at the young crowd, with
no real movement controls but
instead a cute pink ball...thing,
that’s continuously moving to
the right. You must navigate
your way right by tapping on
the gamepad where you’d
like Kirby to attack, or draw
lines that turn into lovely clay
rainbow paths for Kirby to travel
along and help solve simple
environmental puzzles and get
more of those precious stars.
The art style was the biggest
thing here that stood out to
me, it certainly feels fresh
and even if the style has been
attempted before, it’s never
been done this well. I was
genuinely impressed by it
when I first saw it and enjoyed
my time with it a lot. A game
I would like to see more of.
Captain Toad:
Treasure Tracker
This was the game that took me
by complete surprise. This is
Captain Toad’s first solo outing
and boy is he getting the five
star treatment. If we’ve learnt
anything from this article so
far it’s that Nintendo does cute
At first I wondered if this
was enough of a gimmick to
entertain a whole game but, as
I’ve already said, this is all about
refinement within creativity
for Nintendo. They know what
they are doing when it comes
to these sorts of games, and it
shows. An effortless claymation
art style seems to blend
seamlessly with the controls
leaving you feeling like you’re
playing with a clay Kirby that
can transform into anything.
