Not that I'm complaining about the rest of the art because it's still freaking adorable.

Did you look at the link at the bottom? It shows the real picture, without angry eyebrows. The angry eyebrows were obviously added in by the poster as parody.

Is it wrong that I find the fact that he's "unzipping" the box to be adorable?

Not in the slightest. </biased>
Mr. Dr.
Whew, that's a relief. I thought those eyebrows looked too cheap to be true and I'm glad that this AKIHC is completely Jossed. Seriously, Arts and Crafts are fun and cute and should stay that way. Also, what is with that Boss in the left hand corner? It looks kind of faux Nightmare Fuel.
By the way, I'll be posting images of Dedede, Waddle Dee and Meta Knight hopefully by the end of the week.

The Final ECW Champion
Faux nightmare fuel? Please, we all know the final boss is going to be a disembodied spleen with a big eyeball that cuts itself open as it shoots knitting needles at you. It will also be traditionally polygon made and will clash with everything else and release cat hisses warped by a synthesizer.
Modified Ura-nage, Torture Rack
Mr. Dr.
Or considering that the entire game revolves around yarn, some kind of metal scissors. But anyway, I'd like to see them try to make colorful Kirby Style Arts and Crafts scary, because the current enemy is anything but. Really, it looks more like some kind of colorful spaghetti pasta.

Dreamland 3 looked like a child's crayon drawing and it had Zero.
Mariachi Man will be the game's fake final boss. The True Final Boss will be something as bad or worse than that bleeding eyeball.

The boxart leaves me with rather ambivalent thoughts, to say the least.
Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.

Well, Canvas Curse didn't end up too freaky in the end, IIRC. So maybe, maybe not.

READY!
Fridge Brilliance: The villain's staffs are actually knitting needles.
Discover the rest as the game progresses.

@I Yellalot, OK now that I notice that, that does seem pretty cool.
My personal hope is that the final boss is some kind of DIY Eldritch Abomination [1]
◊. However, even then, it's going to be near impossible to turn something like Yarn into High Octane Nightmare Fuel.
I'm guessing the final boss is some kind of Demonic Eldritch Moth. Big eyeballs optional.

Think they'll have Meta Knight or Dedede? They'd better, otherwise I'd very unsure about whether I should buy this game.

Shadow Man
@Freezair: I dunno... Drawcia Soul might not have been Zero Two-level freaky, but it was still an eldritch shrieking multi-eyed ball of paint. We'll probably get some sort of Eldritch Abomination—preferably something with a completely different art style so that it'd be truly otherworldly.
By the way, has it been mentioned yet that this game begins with Kirby falling into a magic sock?
^ Meta Knight might not appear, but Dedede's almost a shoe-in (when's the last Kirby game that he hasn't appeared in—Amazing Mirror?). In fact, the second player on that box art shares his coloring and has a crown—maybe he got transformed when he fell in the sock?

....Indeed....
final boss will be a demon made of... crumbled paper, or an evil vortex of yarn and cotton and wool and paperclips, and blood.
My Ideas only need to make sense to me; even if the idea in question involves other people!

Huh? *check* Wow, way to mislead the readers.
Mr. Dr.
I can hardly wait for this game! My brother just got a Wii recently and this is going to be one of the first games I plan on purchasing.

BTW, I just posted an Instructable on how to make your own Kirby's Epic Yarn Plushie, like the one I showed you guys a while ago [1].
Also, I added this to my existing Epic Yarn logo.
So the villain or at least a villain is an evil mariachi man made of yarn?
...Oh, Nintendo, never change. :D
