Kirby's Epic Yarn Coming To A Wii Near You

Smack dudes with your yarn.

Even Nintendo is getting into the reboot game. But as you'll notice, Kirby Epic Yarn won't require the blessing or consultation of a Tier-1 Operator. 
  

   
Nintendo has announced a new Kirby title slated for release this Fall, and as you may have gathered from the name, it sports an interesting twist for the Kirby series both visually and functionally.
 
The game's world is composed of vibrant pieces of cloth and textured fabrics that are stitched together by colorful yarns and threads. But this playful presentation is as charming as it is utilitarian. In the brief E3 demo shown during Nintendo's press conference, we observed Kirby pulling pieces of yarn embedded in the environment in order to reveal a secret passageway. Kirby will also be able to use his own pink yarn to shape shift into a car, a submarine, a blimp, and even a UFO. 

 
 Kirby's Epic Yarn is a Wii-exclusive title. It will incorporate two-player campaign-based co-op and feature numerous collectibles in its levels.
