You know, according to some reviews it's been pretty drastically rebalanced, from possibly too hard to possibly too easy. It does actually sound fun to me, I want to try it at some point now.

Maybe, but I'm not willing to take that leap again unless it gets put on sale. I even went back last week to the PS3 to see if I was too harsh on it. I played it for a while, and nope, the game was pretty much as bland as I remembered it. But if you want to enjoy pop culture references thrown at you at a break neck speed, you'll enjoy that part of RCR.

Kirby games have generally been aimed at a younger audience and/or people new to platformers so you should have no trouble getting into it. It's been out in Japan for a month and reviews have been favorable.
This week? or next? I saw the pic someone posted in the 3ds thread
Next week, starting next Sunday. The ad leaked early.
Edit: eshop says through 2/23
Once I can get onto the eShop I'll check.
I'm thinking of picking up Crimson Shroud and Liberation Maiden. Should I plan on any others?

Of note are the Layton & Phoenix Wright sale, the release of Weapon Shop de Omasse and of course DKC Tropical Freeze.
It's true that it's technically a knockoff, not made by RedLynx, just someone cashing in on the genre, but I feel like they did a good job here.
There's a review here if you want to know more about it first. I wasn't able to stop playing it though, replaying levels to get all the stars and searching for hidden money. The track creator is surprisingly good too in terms of options.

Well shit, I can pick it up blindly for that price.
Weaponnnnnnn shopday omasssay
The forging rhythm mini-game is really straight forward and simple (so far) and doesn't seem to increase in complexity after adding a material or going up to level 2. Polishing weapons is even more simplistic as it's just a few seconds of screen rubbing.
The real star of the show is the conversations between the shopkeeper/blacksmith in training (you), the blacksmith and the customers. After they've rented your weapons, you get to hear how their quest (or lack thereof) is going via the Grindcast.
The Grindcast is basically Twitter. Everything the customers and others say pops up on your screen and the combat shows up as well. You can read single Grindcasts as your doing other stuff or focus on the Grindcast and speed it up, too. Multitasking becomes a little more difficult when you're trying to follow the beat in the forge, but you can go back to the Grindcast and read anything you missed.
I've only played about 2 hours, so hopefully things get more difficult. Or maybe being an RPG weapon shop owner is really this mundane. It is entertaining, though, and it has already made me laugh a few times.
EDIT: Oh, and there's an audience? You get cheers and applause and such frequently during conversations. There's also silly sound effects and some rather basic music to go along with everything.
Its fun and the adventurers twitter feed is humorous. One thing to keep in mind when forging a blade is that you dont have to perfectly hammer the outline of the mold. Just tap any available spot on the metal and keep the rythm.
We use to play "tag" and fill out both teams with the skinnies and just chase each other around haha. Ah imagination...

Her first time playing, she mad spam punched herself into a decision loss against Glass Joe. She proved a winner in the rematch, but still was mass spamming attacks. Von Kaiser pummeled her flailing attempts with his jabs and finished her off with "ze upppercuts!" That was the retirement match so I started over and quickly whipped them up for her. After watching me dodge/counter, she finally understood how to play properly.
I handed her the gamepad and let her take on Piston Honda for the belt. She was immediately stunned at how huge his character model was and was wondering how she could topple such a monster. I said to look for his tell, dodge, and counter. She quickly found it and dodged away to a quick knockdown. Everything was going great until his Hurricane Punches flattened her to the mat. The bell sounded ending the first round.
Between rounds she got a pep talk from Doc Louis and some health back. Round 2 was all dodges and counters until he went down twice. He got up on a 1 count, which meant a single Star Punch would put him down no matter his health. She got the star just before the 2:30 mark, when the punch flurry would come again. He threw a hook, she dodged, and unleashed the Star Punch launching him across the ring for a TKO! I've never seen her get so excited and pumped after a victory.
I'm thinking she's ready for Punch-Out!! on the Wii. While I respect the original for it's awesomeness, she doesn't get nostalgic like me and will definitely enjoy the newer version a lot more. Can't wait to watch my little pugilist-specialist take on all comers for the VGBA Championship belt!

Even for the WiiU VC that is disappointing.
