Since this is the Kirby thread, I thought it was worthy of bumping this.

I'll just leave these gems here:

And again, with ANGRY EYEBROWS!

Kirby hates pants in the American version.

He hates everything.

Black Mage J · **Reply #52 on:** August 25, 2010, 03:39:11 AM

Which makes me wonder when Kirby tried on pants.

Gives the whole thing another entoation.

"...this grass... it feels funny...

...it feels like...

...like...

...PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANTS!"

And then Kirby is filled with the rage of a thousand suns.

What's so bad about pants, KAABI?
I wear pants... nothing wrong with them.

Why are you staring at me like that, KAABI?
HEY! DON'T SUCK ME UP! NOOOooooooo!

I don't blame Kirby. Pants are overrated!

ViperAcidZX · **Reply #58 on:** August 25, 2010, 01:34:47 PM

^ That's why most girls in vidja gaems don't wear them. ^.^

The problem is that... he has no legs. almost no one in DreamLand has legs. Just feet.

Nintendo isn't satisfied with letting the Evil Eyebrows go to waste.

Where is that string coming from?

Acid · **Reply #64 on:** September 25, 2010, 11:19:42 PM

Kirby's pocket of course.

HokutoNoBen · **Reply #65 on:** October 14, 2010, 06:56:43 PM

Well, in case it may have been forgotten, this game actually is out in Japan now, and will be out in NA in just a matter of days. So, for the sake of those who need a good reminder of why this game needs to be in your collection...

Characters

Abilities

In Epic Yarn, Kirby can't copy abilities and he can't fly, but he has a variety of forms he can transform into. They are called "Transformations". There's a total of 16 of those in the game. Here's some of them.

Submarine : As soon Kirby enters in the water, he goes into this form.
Dolphin : Kirby can swift faster in this form. He can also jump through hoops, swim up waterfalls and bounce beads on its nose.

Parachute : In this form. Kirby goes into a slow fall. You can transform into this form at any moment by tapping the 2 button twice.
Rocket : Kirby can destroy enemies by shooting stars at them and fly around in rocket form in a similar manner to Space Invaders.

Fire Engine : Kirby can put the fire out in this form including fire enemies.
Tankbot : Kirby becomes this once he picks up a certain powerup. It can hover, has light-up eyes, and can shoot Missiles. When there are 2 players it has a boxing glove as well, and it seems that, instead of piloting the tankbot, Kirby becomes the tankbot while Prince Fluff pilots it.

And when you are not using transformation, you can use your Whip to catch enemies and throw them at others like the previous Kirby always did. The whip can also be used to open secret passages hidden in the background, reveal some power ups and make your way through the levels.

Co-Op
The game supports complete Co-Op gameplay through the entire game. You can beat Epic Yarn from the start to the end with a friend with a second Wii Remote. Here's a video that explains how fun/frustrating it can be.

The Epic Yarn Room

In the recent Kirby Demo, Nintendo created a room completely made out of Yarn. It's so pretty that it deserves some attention.

I played the game at Comic Con. It was totally awesome!

Police Girl · **Reply #67 on:** October 16, 2010, 04:41:52 AM

Graphics look awesome, everything looks smooth.

Also, no Copy Abilities and no Flying? Instead we get transformations? Hmm, The transformation dealio sounds awesome. Since we get a parachute ability I won't be missing flying that much.

I'll be picking this one up next week.

SO. MANY. GAMES. ARGH!

Police Girl · **Reply #69 on:** October 19, 2010, 03:38:46 AM

Game is out. I'll probably pick a copy up tomorrow.

And by Kirby Wii, I mean the one that we've been waiting for since the GCN and was pretty much Nintendo's equivalent of Duke Nukem Forever.
