I played a three level demo of Kirby's Epic Yarn cooperatively with a very nice lady from Nintendo. The first thing you should know is the game looks beautiful. Artistically, it may be the best-looking Wii game so far. It's got virtually nonstop charm, from Kirby himself, made of a loop of twine, to the whole world of fabric and buttons. Kirby no longer eats things, he whips them, and he can wrap his whip around buttons and protrusions to literally pull on the level like it's a curtain, revealing secrets and changing the landscape. As a co-op game, it plays like New Super Mario Bros. Wii, only not as competitively. Sometimes it's useful to grab your partner and throw him at an enemy or a wall of blocks, but it doesn't harm him. Besides the art-style, it plays like a fairly conventional (and fairly easy) 2D platformer, but I can't wait to play more just because I love looking at it so much.
If you have any questions, comment and I will try to answer.
