About this product

Product Information

Nintendo's popular pink puffball with an unassuming grin and a voracious appetite returns in a new form in Kirby's Epic Yarn. After eating a strange tomato planted by the evil wizard Yin-Yarn, Kirby is transformed into yarn and sucked into a dimension where everything is made of colorful fabric. Kirby quickly befriends Prince Fluff, and the duo agree to head off after Yin-Yarn to foil his malevolent plans. The new dimension has removed Kirby's ability to ingest enemies and absorb their abilities, but the classically styled side-scrolling action still finds him bounding and floating through levels, and the pliable nature of the yarn lets Kirby lasso enemies, throw objects, and swing from grapple points.<br><br>Kirby's Epic Yarn is designed to offer two-player co-op action, with the second player taking on the role of Prince Fluff. Both characters can completely transform into a variety of different objects, including a surfing penguin, a destructive brick, and a submarine, and the duo can combine to transform into a massive robot that fires missiles and bats down enemies with a huge boxing glove. Each level contains three secret treasure chests, as well as a large number of colorful beads, and many secret areas can be accessed by unzipping two pieces of cloth, tunneling through fluffy cotton, or yanking a loose thread. Beads earn players higher scores and win medals at the end of the stage, while the treasure chests and medals open up new levels to explore.

    Epic Yarn--Epic Game

    I bought this as a gift for my grandchildren. They loved it! It is challenging enough to keep them engaged, yet easy enough that they do not get discouraged. The music actually adds to the playing experience and adds a layer of happiness to the playing experience. The bottom line is that my grandkids LOVED it. It's fun, it's pleasing to the eye and ear--and unlike many video games, it's even enjoyable to watch others play.

  • Top critical review

    Feels like a kid's game at times. Still a lot of fun if you have a friend to play with.

    This is a great game and had the potential to be better. I loved it but what kills it for me is how easy it is. That along with its simplistic, cutesy art style makes it feel like a kid's game. Would still highly recommend for couch co-op!

  • Kirby is Pretty Epic

    Grab this for under $10 and you've got a bargain. I have never seen my kids so engrossed by a video game. They're 6 and 8 and they've beaten it already and are noe working to unlock secret levels. They play 2 players simultaneously, which works well for them. They even like decorating Kirby's pad, lol. It is a fun game and the control is good. The graphics don't look great at first glance, but if you look close, everything looks like cloth and yarn just like it is supposed to.

  • Amazing title

    Kirby is just one of those heroes that can be placed in almost any situation and make a decent game out of it. The graphics, music, animations, enemies, play-style, and pretty much every element of this game are fantastic! Amazing title that I'd recommend to anyone.

  • Perfect for my girls.

    Bought this for my 6 and 4 year old daughters. They love it! Perfect for them, as there is no violence, they can't die, and it's adorable. The early levels are really easy for my little one and the later levels challenging enough for my older girl. Two player co-op is fantastic! The best part of it is that either player can press "A" and become a ghost (or "A for Angel," as they say) if they get stuck, which allows the little one to play along on the harder levels without the frustration of getting stuck. Controls are easy, though there are more advanced moves. And I found the game to be a lot of fun myself which means I get to play along with my kids. Highly recommended if you have girls in this age bracket.

  • Fun and team building!

    My kids love this game. I like that there is a two player option that actually involves them helping each other to get through the game versus competing against one another. Great for team building and learning to coordinate and work together :)

  • Good Game!!

    I misplaced my other copy I bought several years ago, but I am glad to have bought another replacement copy. I am also happy how this game was ported to the Nintendo 3DS and released on March 8th of 2019.

  • Kirby Epic Yarn- A Game that Lives Up To Its Yarn Based Legend

    Such a great game, I'm only about two hours into it. It is a side scrolling platformer with tons of unique things Kirby can turn into, including a weight, a car, a parachute, etc. It has traditional story telling voiceover (ie its name... epic yarn)... and uses the Wii Remote sideways. It is really a breath of fresh air into the Kirby Franchise and him just swallowing enemies and using an ability- this is totally new.... totally original and all the way worth it as a Kirby addition to the Wii library! What rocks even more is during storytelling, they address the fact he cant suck up enemies and use that ability anymore- in a great way... so its dealt with and addressed and then moves on to the game. Never seen that before but its done in such a great way I was like "ok.. hes cursed darn it... heres whats next and its even better and more awesome then before... yesss..."
