Kirby and the Rainbow Curse Announced for the Wii U

June 11, 2014

Kirby has always been one of those franchises that has always adapted itself for spin-offs. One of the most underrated Nintendo DS titles that was also a spin-off of the franchise was Kirby’s Canvas Curse, which let players use the stylus to control a ball-form Kirby around a beautiful world.

Today at E3, what felt like the impossible happened as Nintendo announced Kirby and the Rainbow Curse for the Wii U, which will be a sequel to the little gem. This time, Kirby has new abilities and the world seems to be made of clay, as you can see in the trailer below. Release date isn’t until 2015 on this one, but keep an ear out as we’re sure to see more as the months roll on. You can play some Triple Deluxe while you wait however, as it is certainly worth checking out.

Final-Fantasy-Type-0-Screenshot-01 — **Is that you Ace? It’s been far too long.**

You heard right Final Fantasy fans, the long awaited Type-0 will indeed be gracing Western shores sometime in the future. Originally released for the PSP back in 2011, the game also saw a divergence from its connection with the XIII series in the same way that XV has…though still no news on that game at the moment. Damn. Regardless, we will finally be receiving what we have been wishing for the past 3 years: localisation. So start the victory fanfare and prepare yourself for the Final Fantasy game with the highest number of fans who have never actually played the game.

Though no specifics have been given about the release date for Type-0, I think we can all agree that this is a step in the right direction. Though announced to be seeing a release on the PS Vita in addition to the PS4 and Xbox One, a swift retraction noted that the PS4 will be the only Sony console to net this Square Enix title. Unfortunate, but as we’ve all been so painfully aware these past few years: Beggars can’t be choosers.

Pokemon-Omega-Ruby-Alpha-Sapphire-Promotional-Image-01 — **Fun if by land, cool if by sea**

Very brief. Following a trend brought about in some Pokemon X and Y advertisements, this trailer features a large amount of live action footage. In it, we see a trainer making his way through a jungle. After trekking through said environment, he stumbles upon an ancient wall depicting two very familiar creatures: Groudon and Kyogre.

Now the game footage kicks in. Though only a quick view into the visuals of Ruby and Sapphire reborn, it does indeed look awesome. Featuring the same 3DS style that took Pokemon to the next level, the Hoenn region has never been so…three dimensional. We catch glimpses of Gyms, Gym Leaders, Steven Stone and a few other familiar faces. However, the coolest visual by far is the in battle footage of the three brand new Mega Evolutions and two Ancient Devolutions. It’s just so cool!

So hop to it. Check out the trailer below and get pumped for the Pokemon remake fans have been clamouring for since FireRed and LeafGreen were released. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: There’s no place like Hoenn.

Thrice the violence

No you didn’t hear me wrong, Nintendo‘s E3 press conference finally revealed some more information about a game that has been a long time coming: Devil’s Third. With conception reaching all the way back to 2008, Devil’s Third has seen a lot of hurdles before it found its new home on the Wii U. As in, THQ was the original publisher…yeah. But luckily for the game, and us, Nintendo has gotten into the habit of saving projects in danger of falling by the wayside.

Anywho, the trailer released provides us with a little insight into the gameplay of Devil’s Third and it is….excessive. You play as Ivan, a mercenary type covered in more tattoos than you can throw a hatchet at. Regardless, his inherent skill with weaponry grants you the privelage of versatility in you murder spree. Enjoy shooting? There’s plenty of guns. Enjoy slashing? Boy has the game got swords for you. Enjoy…drum solos? Well, there’s one of those too. Awesome. From what was shown the game will also feature an influence of Asian culture, somewhat modernised by the excessive combat that shall take place throughout.

But enough of me telling you what’s in the trailer, check it out for yourself. It’s just down below. How convenient…did I mention the excessive violence? I feel like that’s important.

Mii Fighters Make Super Smash Bros. Personal

Super-Smash-Bros-Mii-Fighter-Screenshot-01 — **Mii, Myself and I**

You feel lucky punk? Well, do ya? You’d best figure it out soon because at Nintendo‘s E3 press conference, it was announced that Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U just got a little more personal. Of course I speak of the inclusion of a rather interesting fighter: You…by which I mean Mii.

However, rather than simply slapping a Mii skin into a game as they have in the past, Nintendo has invested a large amount of effort into making the Mii Fighter a viable choice for battle. Featuring more than just a single control set, the Mii’s are divided into three categories: Brawler, Swordfighter and Gunner. As you may be able to guess from the names, these characters will focus on hand-to-hand combat, swordsmanship and projectile weaponry respectively. Featuring a plethora of special moves, these characters provide just as much versatility as their designs.

So there you have it. As if being countless Nintendo champions wasn’t enough, now you can join the fray personally. It’s pretty cool, especially since it’s more than just a gimmick. Check out the screenshots below for a little taste of what you can do as a Mii…you know what I mean.
