Kirby's Claymation Looks Real Enough to Touch
By Alex Johnson | January 01, 0001
Kirby: Rainbow Curse has an art style not exactly common in games: one of clay. Everything in the game is made of it and it is animated as if it were claymation. And y1 games latest let me tell you, when you get a good look at the game up close, you’ll wonder if it really is CG after all.
Take the opening video, for example. Without knowing it was from a game, I’d assume that it was traditionally animated claymation. But 
even outside of the pre-rendered cutscenes, the game still looks amazing—especially the sprites. Your reward for finding hidden 
treasure chests in each level of the game is often a character model of Kirby or one of the game’s enemies. You can then view these in the game’s gallery—which itself is set up betdog to look like an art studio. Here you can see the models in all their detail. And yes, they do look real enough 
to touch.
Kirby: Rainbow Curse was released in Japan for the Nintendo Wii U on January 22, 2015. It will be released in North America on February 20, 2015, and in PAL territories sometime in 2015. Kotaku East is your slice of Asian internet culture, bringing you the latest y1 games talking points from Japan, Korea, China and beyond. Tune in every morning from 4am to 8am.

I love the overall aesthetic of the platform. The animations, visual effects, and sound design make the gaming experience more dynamic and immersive. It's one of the reasons I keep coming back. Sometimes I wish there were more ways to earn rewards through loyalty programs or frequent player bonuses. Adding seasonal events or special challenges could enhance the excitement even further.
