Kirby: Epic Yarn – Fact Sheet, Images

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.

    Honestly, I wasn’t looking forward to a new Kirby game all that much, mostly because I figured Nintendo would never deliver. Now I’m drooling over this one. It looks wonderful. My only complaint is that Kirby isn’t eating things, but it’s a small one in the face of an interesting new artistic direction.

    I know, I went nuts when I first saw this. Not gonna lie, I peed a little.
