Kirby and the Rainbow Curse will have a multiplayer mode
We were treated to an in-depth look at Kirby’s upcoming Wii U game today during a Nintendo Direct video. For one thing, the name of the game has been finalized: Kirby and the Rainbow Curse (though I didn’t even realize this wasn’t final). As a spiritual successor to the Nintendo DS game Kirby Canvas Curse, the player will guide Kirby, who is restricted to ball form for the most p...

Set to begin Wednesday, November 5th at 2:00 PM Pacific, it will apparently contain “updates about upcoming games for 3DS and Wii U.” Nintendo’s wording here may indicate a lack of any substantial announcements, but when it comes to Nintendo Direct broadcasts, the company surprises us more often than not. I’m loo...
Welcome to the witching hour- Bayonetta 2 review
If there was a game I never imagined would come to the Wii U, it would be a sequel to Bayonetta. I mean, the game’s hyper-sexualized protagonist really goes against Nintendo’s more family friendly approach to game design philosophy, but after saving Bayonetta 2 from the depths of the video game graveyard, Nintendo turned some heads. Bayonetta 2 makes no attempts to hide what it is and ...
