even the somber little ink jars are better ideas, i don't get why they went with ANOTHER wacky floating object like kersti. easier to animate something that just floats around constantly? are they really that fucking lazy now?

Have you seen the bean bodied,and two eyed, no mouth, floating hands characters in Kirby for the past decade?

>ITT cautiously optimistic character designs
I am admittedly cautiously optimistic in regards to Origami King. But why are people trying to meme the phrase now?

you can't post the ghost without showing where the concept went

>The feather one waddle bounce
Are they trying to not be cute?
Flop Bucket just floats in the air.

Kirby hasn't been good/creative since Crystal Shards.

I say this as a long-time kirby fan, but I really hate the direction that the games have taken.

i agree those are lazy but i feel theres a world of difference between having make a full model and rig it versus what is practically a 2d sprite aligned to premade paper sheet physics
like if they can draw the concept they could literally put it in the game immediately, this is possibly the easiest series to make a direct translation of concept art.

Kersti reflected how shit Sticker Star was but Huey was a based character that I actually cared about

To be fair, anything else looks too out of place.

I wish the presentation was sketch themed instead of being so clean and sterile.
Itd nail the original yoshi's island aesthetic and would fit the paper aesthetic without being forced and unnatural.

>what is King Dedede, Meta Knight, any Kirby "villain"/villain with a mouth

At least TOK stopped the most obnoxious parts of the paper gimmick, the clouds being hung up with string and the backgrounds being taped together.

>that subtle dr seuss style shading on the pot
were they actually going to go back to the fucking storybook visuals at some point? and they DROPPED that concept? what the FUCK

Oh, I tought you were talking about them.
Magolor, Mage Sisters, Taranza, Sectonia, Susie, you get the point.
Most Kirby designs are Ball+limbs+theme.
I don't think making a bunch of penguins and borbs recolors would be a solution tho.

it's going to be sticker star 3
and it's going to be great.

CS was on par with 64 (wich is betetr than TTYD) and TOK looks much much more promising

No

>has

That crown was a raging bitch, funny how they thought I would feel sad when she "sacrificed" herself in the end. I was glad to see her finally fuck off for 5 mins.

Paper Mario threads always devolve into (rightfully) angry paper mario fans getting b8'd by sad, lonely and distrubed shitposters. Nobody actually likes paper mario past Super besides actual children and autistic manchildren clinging on to what was.

>falling for bait this obvious
come on now, user

Manc Ape is fun and goofy looking, the rest are meh. We need more non-human playable characters in games, and not just dumb meme games

people genuinely think color splash wasn't a pile of shit and its insanely generous to believe every retard that says so is simply pretending to be retarded

Why does nintendo Insist on taking away the Soul before the game is released?

Remember when we wanted Beyond Good and Evil two?

Wtf happened fo Nintendo?

Yeah, Olivia and Dreambert are practically the only normally designed characters out of the RPG bunch

I don't get it

color splash unironically had some good things going for it, but the main stuff (overall story, combat e.t.c.) sucked balls, so saying it was entirely garbage undermines the few good stuff.

I like starlow a lot, though it's probably for her personality rather than her design.
It's weird how she has a similar personality as Kersti, but manages to be way more likable.

I blame New Super Mario series.

now show mario odyssey

Pain

you almost got me

>there was a time when SMW was turning out too much like SMB3 so Miyamoto wanted the devs to get creative and redesign everything

Is this out already?
