New Kirby game finally announced. Looks... interesting, to say the least. Looks like they're changing the gameplay style almost entirely, but still looks interesting.

Hmm, a fall back from taking abilities from enemies to the simple suck grab and throw? Interesting, but I'll have to see how that one plays out.

It's still absolutely adorable though.

That actually might be the happiest thing I've ever seen.

There were maybe 3 seconds where I wasn't going "D'awwwwwwwwwwwww".

The whole game looks like Sweet Dreams Fuel. I absolutely love the artstyle and like Paper Mario before it their taking advantage of the art-style for the gameplay. I wodln't give up hope on Kirby's Mega Manning making a comeback. I don't see how tank and UFO power would wprk otherwise.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the Car and UFO (to say nothing of the gently-parachuting Kirby, which looks almost certainly like a riff on the classic Parasol power) are copy abilities. Just because we see Kirby doing nothing but yarn-whippin' doesn't mean he won't still be copying stuff.

I love the art style. I don't know why, but the way his feet turned into a little scribble when he was pulling back that zipper made me "D'aaaaaawwww!" in a powerful way.

I dunno...

It looks fun, but it kind of crossed the line between "cutesy" and "cutesy-poo".

Really, this looks like Kirby's answer to Paper Mario. Which is a very good thing. smile

Also, TANK Kirby.

^^Really, I can't say I care about how cutesy a game is (or for that matter, how over the top in violence and gore a game is either), so long as it's enjoyable. Kirby has had a long history of platformers that always turn out fun, so I'm not worried.

Also, something else, he never uses his floating abilities in that preview but does move vertically by latching onto stuff. Perhaps in order to make use of that piece of yarn, he will be losing his flight abilities?

EDIT: Also, multiplayer!

Man, I don't know how they did it, but they made Kirby cuter. I didn't know this was possible. I will be getting this.

Unless they do unveil the ability to copy... erm, abilities, I'm seeing it more as a "Back to the basics" since Kirby's most basic attribute is his ability to grab things and throw them back, which is enjoyable all on its own.

This game will suck. There will be sucking. The parasol, U Fo, and truck don't make sense otherwise. Which means we might see unqiue powerups that take advantage of the art style. I wonder if the similarities to Paper Mario might mean there'll be a plot. Not likely though.

Judging from Nintendo's website, the transformations might not be from eating enemies. It seems that the car is just the dashing function.

I love the art style. I don't know why, but the way his feet turned into a little scribble when he was pulling back that zipper made me "D'aaaaaawwww!" in a powerful way.

Not just any scribble, but tank treads.

Getting hyped about this, myself, especially with the giant Mecha Tank Kirby.

Did they really have to have 'epic' in the title? Not only is that word horribly overused, but it doesn't fit the tone at all.

It's a pun. Look up the definition of "Yarn".

Love the pun BTW. A yarn is a story (usually a dull one). The title is both an oxy-moron and Exactly What It Says On The Tin.

For added emphasis.
