Kirby's Epic Yarn . . . WTF

[Bard The 5th LW]

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.

Since Mint Leaves, Lollipops, Microphones, and Curry aren't UFOs, I have to wonder what first Kirby game you're talking about. The earliest UFO power I can think of is from Kirby's Adventure on the NES. I think Dreamland 2 came out before that.

As for yarn... the co-op has me sorta interested, as well as the fact that it's a Kirby game (thanks, brand loyalty), but I think I'd have been more excited for the Kirby game they worked on years ago with the four-person piggy-back riding. I'm on the fence as to whether I'll purchase this or not. It seems like you don't even steal powers except in special occasions, which feels like a step backwards to Kirby's Dreamland. I like Dreamland, but I already have Kirby's Dreamland and I can play that at the laundromat. I need more info before I can get excited.
