Kirby's Epic Yarn is coming out October 17. Not only that, but the box art is sexy:

Man that is one smexy box art image


Also, do you guys think that the combine the powers system from Kirby 64 will return in this game? That was really something that I loved and wish I could see again.

I'm not buy cuz no copy abitiles.
Bad reason to not buy it. But I guess I can respect that.

I doubt it, mostly because it didn't perform so well on Kirby 64. So far, some of the power ups feel familiar to Kirby Dreamland except more advance.

Would be great if they worked something with combo powers.

The fridge combo was the best.

I am not exactly looking forward to this game. When a series makes a return, I always figured they'd highlight what made them great in the first place, not use new concepts. Idk. It looks good, but at the same time I am yearning for old school Kirby.

I just saw a yarn King Dedede.

This is going to be the best game ever.

I'm curious to see yarn Meta Knight now. Canvas Curse did have ball King Dedede and ball Meta Knight, I'm sure Epic Yarn will include yarn Meta Knight. XD

Seeing this game announced put me in a serious Kirby mood. I think I played through Nightmare in Dreamland about 3 times in the past month. Freaking love that game. When Epic Yarn comes out it will definitely be a must-buy for me.

☯ Epic Yarn got an A- from 1up, and a 9.0 from IGN. Though Kirby's Epic Yarn is reviled it wasn't originally a Kirby game, (seeing no copy ability was an only a guess, lol), it end up scoring higher than I thought. My option playing this game, (currently in the third world), it's one of the most funnest Kirby games I've played, I can't say it's better than Kirby Adventure or Kirby Super Star because I didn't complete the game yet. XD

I'd be surprised if it was better than those two games, but I'm glad to hear that it's pretty fun.
I can't wait to try out Kirby's Epic Yarn. Guess I'll play it over the weekend.

I bought this game on Sunday, and started playing it yesterday.

It's pretty freaking adorable. Not remotely difficult, but I wouldn't expect that out of a Kirby game. It's exceptionally charming though and it has pretty solid gameplay, and I would definitely recommend it.

And so cuuuute~!

Two player is fun too.

This actually became a meme now...
Awesome. This was my exact thought when I first read that phrase in a PokeCommunity thread! :grin::

http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?p=6230363

Considering Kirby seems to be depicted with an infantile level of thinking (from my experience), having him speak like that was a great moment for me, indeed. And with a statement like that, it's like you inherently know its meme-worthy. It just has to see more online usage in gaming areas, that's all. If Smugleaf/Tsutarja can do it, so can Kirby's grass-pants sensation! :cool:

And yes, the Kirby-jumping-rope-with-yarn as his idle animation is just uber-cute. I really hope some aspects from this game can make it into SSB4... :)

♣ Squashini is the funnest boss in the game. I don't know why but every boss with a slot machine battle is always amazing. <3 ♥

Now that Kirby has the magic sock to Patch Land, does this mean Prince Fluff will be in more Kirby games.
I hope so. XD

3rd best game in the series if you ask me; it doesn't beat Super Star or Adventure, but boy does it kick the crap out of all the others (including Crystal Shards). The dolphin transformation is the most fun i've had in ages lol. I just wish it had lives, but then it probably wouldn't be as easy as every other Kirby game in existence. The game itself is just so smooth, so cute, and so well done graphically, it's just stunning. Also, hearing the new rendition of the Green Greens music made my year!


Rating: 9.5/10

Get this game. Get it. Now.

☯ I believe every Kirby game is better than Crystal Shards, if you played Dreamland 3 then Kirby 64, you will know the feeling. XD

☯ So far, it took me 16 hours to get 100% complete. Second longest Kirby game to complete in my option only below Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. I'll say Epic Yarn is the third best Kirby game, would be first if it was more challenging, but not being able to die made this game a little too easy, and no boss endurance. )=

tbh, i actually really liked Crystal Shards. Sure, it wasn't the best Kirby game, but I really loved playing through and how awesome 0 and 02 were to fight.

☯ Oops, that came out wrong. XD

☯ I enjoy Kirby 64, just that the other Kirby platformers are better. Also I was a little disappointed that Dreamland 3 didn't get noticed much but Kirby 64 got a lot of attention and a great amount of the game is similar to Dreamland 3. >.<

Um yea, but that doesn't mean anything. Metroid Prime took a bit if you beat all three difficulties. Super Mario Galaxy 2 took a while as well. I don't expect 100+ hours, but under 10 is kinda meh =/

I'll still end up getting it thoughlol

It's a platformer. Not an RPG.
Platformers can be long.

see: Banjo-Kazooie.

ANYWAYS

I am addicted to sprucing up my pad; honestly one of my favorite features (i spend all my beads on fabric and or crap i don't need) BUT IT'S STILL AWESOME.

also for people who say "lol game is easy not going to buy casual **** 599 USD no gaems"

sure, the game itself is easy, but collecting everything is not.

i'm missing alot of treasures and sometimes i get hit and i have to recover all my beads.

also, collecting all beads in a level isn't no walk in the park.

Yeah, collecting all the stuff is one of the hardest parts. It's really frustrating when you go through the entire level, only to lose all your beads at the end, and then you can't make it up. ;-;

Every platformer you two mentioned are 3D platformers. Which are generally longer than 2D ones.
