Aside from the title, good lord this is cute. Been waiting for a new Kirby console game for a while and this perfectly fits that hole. Poyo!

This game looks insanely good. I haven't been this excited for an art style since Okami.

I'm way into this art style and how it affects the game play.  I highly approve of where they're going with this.

To be fair, all Kirby games are simple games with no real depth. Doesn't mean they aren't fun to play.

I really like the art from a purely visual perspective, but wonder if filling in the blank areas within a character's outline with some texture would hurt?  The trailer play looks simple, but with a bunch happening at once is it going to be hard to make things out?

This game blew me away in shock when I saw it earlier, and it still does.

Nothing else matters to me this year, as long as I play this. I MUST.

This is visually stunning. Love when the whole screen spazzes and all the yarn falls apart.

" Who got Little Big Planet in my Kirby?  Also, no inflation/flying?  So....  why is this a Kirby game again? "
Second, everything made out of of cloth hanging onto the bird thing, Kirby transforms(car, surfboard and so on) and in LBP you just use a car, jetpack etc.  
The game looks good but it isn't original

For some reason the graphics seem incredibly appealing and nice. Good remix on a fun series.

@PjotrLeschenko: I think its great that more games are adopting the real-world material approach to rendering cartoon characters. It produces a more artist and impressive look than tired ol' toon-shading and basic edge enhancement does.

Are kirby's powers all context specific now?

Wow.  That is the first game I could honestly call charming. Though, for wii huh? I had thought it was a 3DS game.

My only concern of this new design of Kirby is that he better still eat some mother****ers.

I like the new art direction. It just goes to show that the Wii's best asset is it's ability to house such innovative game design and provide it to a mass market.

Who says Wii games don't look good, because Kirby Epic Yarn is one of the best looking Wii games. Probably better than Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2.

This looks insanely good!  It's got the kind of style that is just wickedly fun to watch whether you're playing or just watching.  Wow.
