Kirby's Epic Yarn

Thanks to the annoying nature of LoveFilm's "list 10 titles you like and we'll send them randomly", I've only just got 'round to receiving this but it was well worth the wait. I've always enjoyed Kirby games but I've never been quite as into them as the likes of Mario and Donkey Kong but this game changes that completely; I haven't played a 2D plat former this enjoyable, imaginable and fresh in... well, forever. The graphics are always impressing me, the music is charming and the game play is always kept fresh with the transformations.

 

I've been playing a lot of 2D platformers lately like NSMB, DKCR, Klonoa and A Shadows Tale but Kirby is by far the best one. I can't believe I didn't get this sooner!

So I take it nobody else bought and is playing the 3DS version of the game?

I've just reached the snow world and I have loved playing through the game again. It's a cracking port!

The new additions to the game make an already easy game even easier. The hat power ups allow you to forget about collect yarn and just go on an attack spree whenever you see fit. 

If you have any of the Kirby amiino in your collection you can scan these in to get access to hats whenever you feel like it. I thought you may be limited in the amount of times you can use them but that's not the case. 

The new difficulty level (Devilsh) isn't that hard at all. You get chased in the level by an enemy but the hats allow you to attack said enemy. This makes it disappear for a while but when it does respawn you can just wait by the spawn point and attack it again. :D 

I'll be dipping back into the game later this afternoon.

I beat it on the Wii and I'm not really bothered about playing through it again. but I have been thinking of picking it up still. It's coming out a bit too close to Yoshi's Crafted World for my liking though.

I played the demo which had the Devilish levels, but I hate those kind of mechanics, even if it is totally non-threatening here.

I have it, I've been playing it a fair bit inbetween other games, in fact it's the first time I've been back to my 3DS in a while and I'm loving it. :D

I agree, it really is a fantastic port and although the devilish mode isn't the hardest, it still keeps you coming back being that you can't get hit even once.

There should be a review coming up... not too long after the weekend. :peace:

Have you tried out the new mini-games yet?

  Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn

Hiiiiii! :DYep, it's Kirby time!

Once again, a pleasure to review almost ten years later and on a different platform. :peace:

Really quite an amazing port, even if the "extra" part doesn't add much, arguably it doesn't need to. :smile:

(thanks again to @RedShell for the fantastic GFX) :)
