The Gist Of It: Quick Look: Kirby and the Rainbow Curse

Let me know what you think of the new name. For the record, it's a hard G.

The Game:
Kirby's Epic Clay

The Quick Look: Running time: 24:53, Starring: Dan Ryckert and Jeff Gerstmann
The video opens with a bit about 'clay' homophones; Klei, Clay. After that, Dan dives into showing off the gameplay, drawing lines to propel Kirby across the stage. This is the only means of controlling Kirby besides a special dash attack. Because of this, Dan spends the entire time playing looking at the Wii U gamepad. We don't get to see it, but we aren't missing anything because the lines all appear on the TV. Dan complains about how this causes the player to miss all the HDness of the graphics shown on the TV. Around the six minute mark, he says there's pretty much nothing more to show of the game.

He loads up a boss fight and quickly dies, allowing Jeff to help out as Waddle Dee, who "controls like a real damn video game character" with real controls for running and jumping and attacking. Jeff does most of the work beating the boss, allowing Dan to jump in for the final blow. They then move onto a tank level, which is a auto-side-scrolling shooter thing. Waddle Dee still controls like a real damn video game character.

Dan shows off some of the extras like a model gallery, music player and scrapbook with collectable pages, which Jeff calls cute. Finally, they try out a couple of challenge rooms, racing to collect treasure chests.

Dan, a fan of Canvas Curse, describes the game as pretty but boring and instead recommends Kirby: Triple Deluxe for 3DS.
