Kirby's Epic Yarn . . . WTF

Aldurin · 06-21-2010, 01:07 PM

A new style of Kirby, a new style of moves and it just screams to me that it's the dumbest idea ever buy I still want to buy it.

Kinda makes me wish I could wrinkle reality like that. But then there's CAR KIRBY or SURFER KIRBY or GIANT TANK THING KIRBY or UFO KIRBY.

What is today's marketing doing to me?

Doesn't look awful to me. I have no problem with a new style, as long as the game is fun.

And UFO Kirby was a power up in the first game. So Kirby turning into vehicles isn't spectacularly new.

I think the new styles kinda neat, and they seem to do a good with it, Having Zippers and being able to crumble the screen.

It looks as great and refreshing as Super Mario World 2 did, but Super Mario World 2's art style didn't have any direct impact on gameplay elements. This might in fact be really really good. Look at it this way: I hadn't thought about Kirby games in years and this trailer made me make high-pitched noises and consider getting a Wii.

I am gonna be honest. When I see this, all I think is Kirby's Epic Yawn. It doesn't look that appealing to me.

I think it looks beautiful. =D

I'd play it.

Dude, it has a Super Kirby Battle Tank, made of YARN! Remember those stupid twisty things from Elementary art class. I can't remember what they were, but you know what I'm talking about right? Their about 15cm's, they're fuzzy with a wire in them and you can shape em into things? Well, I always built tanks and airplanes with them it was awesome. It makes me think of that, which is awesome!

I could knit believe my eyes when I saw the trailer. It seems that Nintendo is trying to make us scarf down all the kiddy stuff they throw at us. However the art style does leave me in stitches. And I admit if done right, this can be one purl of a game.

I guess everyone has their own way to get excited about upcoming games. Some more bizarre than others.

Pipe cleaners. I always ended up getting stabbed by those no matter how hard I tried to twist the ends into benign locations.

This reminded me of Yoshi's Island, especially with the transformation bits.
