Kirby Offers a New Take on String Theory
Kirby’s first console platform game since the Nintendo 64™ days
introduces an amazing new look based on animated yarn and a
world of cloth and textiles. The creative approach is woven
directly into the game play and allows the ever-morphing Kirby™
to take on a variety of new forms. It’s a one-of-a-kind platformer
that lets players explore high and low for hidden objects and fun
adventure.

FEATURES:
• The look of the world is stunning, but it’s also interactive. Pulling on stray
threads might reveal hidden areas. When Kirby literally goes behind the
scenes, the virtual fabric warps and bends to show his location.
• Thanks to his versatile yarn composition, Kirby can take on a variety of forms
both in his common actions and when he transforms into powerful vehicles.
When Kirby dashes, he zips around as a car. In water, he turns into a
submarine. At times he can even transform into a massive robotic tank, a
UFO and other vehicles.
• Two players can play through the entire game together*.
• Gems and collectible items are scattered throughout the environments for
players to find.

Awesome! I hope we see more of this little gem in action this week. DK mode plz.

- Wan Wan Karuta — Players place up to 4 remotes on a table in front of them. An animal is displayed onscreen, and assorted animal sounds are played through the speakers on each remote. You have to pick up the remote making the correct sound before your friends can reach it.
- Remote Hide-and-Seek — One player hides the remote somewhere in the room, and the others have to find it, relying on sounds the remote makes for clues.
- Sensitive Bomb — The Wiimote becomes a bomb in this game, and players have to carefully pass it around themselves. If you shake the bomb too much (as shown on an onscreen seismograph), the bomb explodes.
- Board Game — your standard sort of party game where you roll dice and advance your player along a path.
- World Travel (pictured above) — another board game where you must go around the world and take pictures of as many landmarks as possible.
- Bingo — A bingo game played with Mii faces instead of numbers.
- Compatibility Check — Two players answer a series of questions to see how much their personalities “sync” with each other.
- Balance Ship — Another two-player game, this one requires you and a friend to keep a ship upright by running your Miis along the sails.
- Swaying Presents — Hold the Wiimote flat and keep it balanced, or else your Mii will drop the great big stack of presents it’s carrying!
- High-Speed Bobsled — Two players board a bobsled, working together to go as quickly as possible.
- Volley Shoot Match — A soccer goal-kick competition.
- Balloon Coaster — Two players board a roller coaster and must point their Wiimotes at onscreen balloons to pop them.
- Barrel Battle — Players must run to the goal while jumping over the barrels rolling their way.
- Lucky Trolley — A game of luck, with your Mii trying to reach the end of a railway littered with forks and dead ends.
- Ski Jumping — As the name suggests.
- Gallop Derby — A four-player horse racing game.
- Splash Boat — Two Miis must paddle their oars in tandem to navigate their raft down the rapids.
- Stop At The Edge — In this game of chicken, the players’ Miis are shown onscreen, each with a barrel suspended above their heads by a chain. You must push a button to send the barrels flying down, then push it again to stop it as close to your Mii’s head as possible without actually crushing the poor guy.
- Rear Battle — Your Miis run around a Pac Man-style stage, trying to tag each other from the rear.
- Trap Adventure — Players must work together to navigate seesaws and other traps as they try to reach the end of a dungeon.
