Kirby's Epic Yarn

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if Sakurai has any involvement in this? Someone told me he does, but all I can find is that it's being developed by some studio called Feel Good, apparently the same guys who made WarioLand Shake Dimension? I know he left HAL and that behind, but I wonder if they'll do his legacy justice if he isn't involved...

 

I was wondering what the Wario Land: SD guys are up to. Prior to E3 I was hoping it was them who were working on a new DKC game.

It's official though, this thread and the Paper Mario 3DS thread replaced my porn sites.

I didn't realise Little King's Story could be so easily replaced.

He's so fickle. :heh: And to think he used to obsess over Henry Hatsworth.

Fickle, no. I'm just sparing all of you constant thread bumps. That, my friends, takes willpower:wink::hug:: peace:

 

Now, can I offer anyone some delicious Pink Fudge?

I thought he wouldn't get involved. Making more Kirby games was the main reason Sakurai left the company as he was getting sick of being told to make the same shit.

 

So I don't know, him getting involved making another Kirby game would just make it kind of sad :blank:

Sakurai made a new company called Project Sora with Nintendo and is making the new Kid Icarus.

 

Sakurai and his company, Sora Ltd. alongside Nintendo have started a new first-party studio, Project Sora, which is 72% owned by Nintendo and 28% owned by Sora Ltd. It was revealed at E3 2010 that Sakurai and Project Sora have been working on a new Kid Icarus game for the upcoming Nintendo 3DS console.

Mmm, I too, like most sensible and rational internet users, can read wikipedia.

This I also read. This is a bit different though, and I was thinking maybe he might have been taken by an idea and decided to get on board, rather than doing it because he's employed and told to do so, he might be offered to have a hand in it if he chooses, and then he might. I knew he'd broke off and made Sora, but then I never heard about anything from them. He also sort of DID renege on his word a bit by going back and making another smash bros, and he did the most awesome job with that too.

By no means am I saying this won't be good, let's look at OoT and MM, who weren't directly directed by Miyamoto but two of the best zeldas ever. I was just thinking maybe Sakurai would have gotten involved, now under a sort of free-er reign, unless he's actually just gotten sick of Kirby. Who knows, I'm not really sure what I'm even saying anymore. I need to sleep.

Well, supposedly. I'm struggling to find alot of concrete stuff, and wonder if some assumptions have been made by some people, because as I said it doesn't seem to be hugely obvious in some places.

 

My only other concern is whether or not Kirby is going to have his trademark copy abilities in this, or at least a semi-decent equivalent(something about copy abilities is what makes me love kirby so much). I'm after more info dammit! I can see his transforms into various objects a little reminiscent, such as the UFO, but I can't tell if there's any sort of choosable abilities.

 

The other thing I'm wondering is...will we see any classic villains unravelled in a yarny kind of form?!

Dynablade is in the trailer and we've got our fingers crossed for Dedede!

 

Thought it was her or something related! Though if I'm thinking of what you're thinking of, that bird is kind of on fire, Dyna Blade isn't usually on fire? Also looks like copy abilities are probably not appearing in their usual way, more these standard(and probably context specific) transformations we've seen. The game will still be amazing, but maybe a little disappointing for that fact, the choice of copy abilities etc really makes kirby for me, and the little puzzle touches they make for certain ones sometimes too. Who knows though, I could be wrong!

I never thought I could be blown away by a Kirby game! Nintendo never cease to amaze!

 

I usually tend to get quite sucked in by them.

 

 

On the subject of characters and whatnot, does anyone know if there's any of the old villains, or rathermore, who the chief antagonist is in epic yarn? They bringing some sort of new villain to the table, maybe bigging up an old one? Will they have any of the classic bosses to match too, such as whispy, kracko, poppy bros? I'm so damn excited for this game, I just wanna know as much about it as I can! I presume it'd on the E3 floor too, anyone got any good links to playthrough reviews/previews?

I think the funniest thing about this name was how they announced it so soon after Epic Mickey. It was as if they were going to call everything from then on Epic.
