"this grass feels like pants!"

HE IS SO HIGH

Kirby's Epic Yarn is one of my favorite games of all time

[Fools_Requiem]

People need to stop being negative about the easy difficulty of Kirby games.  THEY'RE ALL EASY.  The only one that's not easy is Kirby's Air Ride and that's only "hard" because the controls are complete ass.  But all the platforming ones have been easy right from the start with Kirby's Dreamland.  Kirby games were never meant to be hard, they were meant to be fun, relaxing, and easy for kids to pick up.

Anyone else think this is a better game than Wooly World?

Why the heck didn't this guy review Kirby Triple Deluxe? This review is pretty good.

Probably not giving it 10 means that it isn't for everyone.

Game looks amazing, this looks like the Kirby game I've been waiting for since Kirby's Superstar

[faithhopeandlovetrustingJesus]

This grass feels funny! *kirby said* It...it feels like...PANTS!!! o_o woah kirby just went there.

[PlanetJayster]

Why in the fucking hell was there no representation whatsoever of this great game in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U?!!! No Epic Yarn Stage? No Music? No Assist Trophies? NO TROPHIES IN THE GALLERY AT THE VERY LEAST? Sakurai!! Did you forget about this game?!

he forgot to talk about the music being all light hearted and cute

I'm mostly into games like gta & bioshock & deadspace. But i bought this game for my niece then i started playing it. It's a very good interesting game.

[GearzVoNKod]

woooow! this is the first wii game review that actually makes me want to consider getting a wii... I love side scrolling platformers, and ive always loved kirby.

Like there aren’t more games in which you can’t die.
PuttPutt, Freddi Fish, Dora, Animal Crossing, yeah all KIDS games.
But how about Dear Esther, Just Dance, Guitar Hero, WarioWare, Wii Sports Resort… seems like those are all pretty pointless.
How about all sports games, how useless are those.
All people that have an Android phone are swiping colorful jellybeans of their screen, wauw!
I guess I made my point here.

All of these above things seems pretty stupid, still millions of people are buying these things to play, so as long you can have fun with something, why wouldn’t you play it?
For me personally, I love the art style of Kirby’s Epic Yarn and the way the world is made, it's still fun despite the simplicity of the gameplay.

@lyrin142 The challenge lies in keeping your beads because you get scored on not only how many you have, but there's also a 'streak' in how many you've collected without getting hit.

Yarn Kirby, Wool Yoshi, what's next LACE MARIO? xD

[Blueknightex]

@Sawtje2 that's because the copies of the game that were released in Europe gives you the option to change languages and not just English(eg. French, Dutch, German, Spanish, etc.).. This took Nintendo a long time to translate, dubb and localise the game in many different languages. They basically compressed everything into the Europe version to save time, effort and money so that they don't have to make separated releases for each European country.

[nick-cepticon]

Wow! IGN is just as appreciative and supportive of this game as I've always been!!! Thanks reviewer!!! Best 2-D platformer on the Wii hands down!

[ArtilleryCrusader]

Actually, the entire game didn't feel like a Kirby game at all, saying that it looks like a Kirby game just because it's cute just shows you've never played a kirby game before. Hell you can't even fly or suck in enemies. Or copy their abilities for that matter.

All the bosses and worlds are unique aside from the last world and Kirby games like to recycle their bosses, even in the spin-offs.

[dillasbebs]

I've never played this game, but this game is very impressive. Using the art style as a fundamental part of the gameplay is extraordinarily brilliant.
