Kirby's Epic Yarn - Wii

[Compass]

Out next week.

Kotaku sucks but they liked it.

Apparently it was not originally a Kirby game.

[James]

the design team brought in various cloth items and even touched various yarn

Holy crap, they touched yarn! The research madness must have gripped them harder than I could ever conceive.

Between this and Canvas Curse Nintendo has finally given Kirby some character. Cannot stand most of his starring roles but abandoning the original mechanics and switching up the art does wonders for the puffball.

So instead of tweaking their character design, they decided to use Kirby.

Fuck this shit. Why is it the only new characters we are getting are space marines or nameless/faceless twats?

[A Robot Bit Me]

Character has never been the problem. Dreamland 3 and Crystal Shards are dripping with charisma. They are also flat, languid borefests.

That this wasn't originally a Kirby game piques my interest. Might have to grab this on launch.

Probably would have just been a differently-colored puffball with eyes, in the grand HAL tradition. The 2P "Kirby with angry eyebrows and a crown" character probably isn't far off the mark.

And Kirby staked his claim to the style about 20 years ago, anyhow.

It's not developed by Hal, though, it's by Good Feel! But yeah, it sounds like it was originally starring a differently-colored puffball. Kirby has a history of not originally being Kirby. Like he was a placeholder in his original game. He just does that well.

Also, holy biscuits at that old commercial!
