Our old friend Kirby has taken on many guises throughout the years - from star-racer to yarn enthusiast - but he takes on a new frontier this Friday in his latest Wii U adventure. Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush is set a gorgeous world in which everything is made from colourful clay. Use the GamePad to draw paths for Kirby across all kinds of manic levels.

The game is out in stores and on the eShop this Friday. You will get a discount on the download if you've bought any other Kirby eShop title.
