    Kirby's Epic Yarn

    Game » consists of 10 releases. Released Oct 14, 2010

    Kirby's first console outing since Kirby Air Ride sees our lovable pink hero using the power of magical yarn, rather than his usual inhaling abilities, to explore a world made of arts and crafts.

    Are you with me that Epic yarn...

    Do you agree that Epic yarn is a dumb yet funny name for the game? I cant say if with out laughing. At least change the epic to something else.

    Can't complain about a solid pun. I wonder how well it translates into other languages though.

    I'd go with Twisted Yard. Maybe for the sequel. Not at all a fan of the word Epic.

    I love it. It's catchy, it's charming, and it's punny.

    It's an awesome name in a funny way. I like it, as well as everything else about the game that they've shown.  
     
    Like they took Paper Mario, replaced it with felt and other arts and crafts materials, and put it in a Kirby setting. I love it.

    Despite the word "Epic" being worn out I approve of it being used in this instance. That trailer did look epic.

    I thought it was funny when Ryan accidentally called it epic thread.

    Yoshi's Story might be a better point of reference.

    The clever bit which some people probably don't get is yarn can also mean tale.

    @ryanwho: Man, forgot about that. 
     
    I guess Paper Mario came more to my mind because of how the aesthetic worked into the gameplay (like in Thousand Year Door). But yeah, the aesthetic was in Yoshi's Story. Just as scenery, though.

    I loved Yoshi's Islands crayon style, also was a sucker for the storybook Yoshi's story and the paper mario games have always awed me.
     
    This is no different.

    GAH, nobody seems to realize this. there are so many videos I've seen of people saying "that's a weird name, I would never think of YARN being EPIC"; it's kind of too bad that it's easier to lean away from how the title looks like it's meant to be interpreted.

    I personally hate the name, I say the word epic should be officially baned from anything related to video games and should never be spoken by those in the industry. As for the game, it looks...well...epic.

    It's a play on words involving the dual meaning of a word, ergo, a pun?
