Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is a beautiful game but sadly not a very fun one and it feels wholly misplaced on the Wii U. Acting as a spiritual successor to the much beloved DS game, Kirby: Canvas Curse, it aims to take the line riding gameplay from that title and bring it to Wii U’s gamepad. An admirable goal to be sure, but in doing so they’ve left behind a lot of what makes the Kirby games so fun. The series standard Copy mechanic, the clever mini-games, and the great sense of variety that normally define the Star Warrior’s regular sojourns are gone and replaced with imprecision and repetition. While they have at the very least managed to craft a drop dead gorgeous aesthetic to sheath this whole affair in, it unfortunately feels wasted on this game. All in all it’s something of a disappointment and while die-hard Kirby fans might be able to dredge some fun out of it, even those whose bleed puffball pink will probably end up leaving Rainbow Curse dissatisfied.
BLG writes: "Kirby has been a Nintendo staple since he was first introduced on the Gameboy in 1992 so ranking the best Kirby games is no easy task. Created by Masahiro Sakurai and HAL Laboratory, the little pink puff-ball has made an appearance on every Nintendo console and handheld. While there are over 30 games with Kirby’s name attached, we’re only going to rank the 17 main storyline games."
Some of the best Wii U games have yet to be ported to Switch, so GCP have come up with their top 10 Wii U ports they want to see still come to Nintendo Switch.
Agreed. There are so many good games I'd love to see, especially the Mario Galaxy games.

Xenoblade X, Star Fox Zero, and Super Mario 3D World/Maker are the best bets IMO.
Tokyo Mirage Sessions,Xenoblade X and The Wonderful 101 are the only ones I want now.
With a port of Professor Layton confirmed for iOS platforms, we know Nintendo is willing to loosen their grip and let older titles breath new life. Here are the 10 Nintendo games we would like to see come to mobile platforms.
