    Amazing bunch of games, ports and collaborations.

    Kirby: Canvas Curse is still my favourite game of them.

    Oh HAL... Such amazing developers that can sometimes push systems to their limits. It's amazing how fast Kirby Air Ride on GC loads despite its amazing graphics for the time.

    A greatly under-appreciated company!

    What's HAL up to right now? I'm sure they have another project on the cusp.

    When I say I hate Nintendo.

    HAL is not included in that discussion. They're Nintendo's Ace Developer, not Miyamoto.

    Are they working on any updates for Smash 3DS/WiiU?

    In a perfect world Adventures of Lolo U (or Eggerland U, whichever).

    Regardless, for those of you who have a Wii U, go get Rainbow Curse. It is gorgeous and fantastic and fun and the music is ridiculously good. If you don't have a Wii U, then it's probably about time to be getting one.

    Intelligent Systems all the way. If there's ever a new Fire Emblem on Wii U, I'll consider getting one. Probably not ever before.

    I love Kirby. Although not enough to keep giving Nintendo money. Sometime soon I need to grab a copy of Kirby 64

    Next Fire Emblem will be a New 3DS game IIRC.

    You getting Project S.T.E.A.M.?

    Yeah, they've already announced there will be another one on 3DS, but I'm still holding out hope for a console one since the Wii and GC each had one.

    The demo was pretty good, so quite possibly yes.

    There is the Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem game for the WiiU.
    We haven't heard anything on it since it's announcement but the game is still suposedly to come out.

    I don't think that anybody on these forums is going to forget that.

    I saw a preview for that the other day while in GameStop. I may have to check it out, it looked really interesting.

    There was the Wii U 1.0.2 update that added more stages to the 8-player roster and balance (finally!) and the recent 1.0.5 3DS update that enabled amiibo support but thats it.

    Nah. Adventures of Lolo 3DS would be more suitable choice. But even if they made a new game for Wii U only, I wouldn't say no of course.

    They have indeed. And to my surprise it's a brand new IP:
    http://nintendoeverything.com/box-boy-is-a-new-japanese-3ds-eshop-game-from-hal-laboratory/

    I hope we will see that localized soon. It looks nice and HAL rarely disappoint us with their games.

    And Nintendo announced today that this is coming to the US in the Spring. YAY!


    Also, I recently picked up Kirby Triple Deluxe which I had put off due to reviews (why did I listen to reviewers on a Kirby game? I'll never know). Game is absolutely fantastic. Music is a bit lacking (especially considering I just finished Rainbow Curse which has a killer soundtrack), but the game is very fun.

    So, Block Boy came out this past Friday, anyone else pick it up?


    I'm up to World 13 now, and I've found it to be absolutely delightful. I've only hit a few areas that got me temporarily stuck, but each time I get stuck I seem to find something new I can do with the blocks that utilize going forward. Very rewarding.
