Is there a co-op game in which some form of assholery isn't possible?

Also: Best. URL. Ever.

That's it. After looking at the Japanese and English websites, I am most definitely buying this game. It's visually stunning and looks like a blast of a platformer to play.

Also, the main theme sounds very similar to Yakko's Universe. No idea why.

Heh. The American commercial is kind of funny.

It so, so desperately wants to make Kirby hardcore. "He's not just yarn, he's A TANK!" Oh, poor voice-over guy. It's OK. It's not your fault. This game is cute. It's unapologetically cute. And that's a good thing. Just roll with it, man. Grab a puppy and let it flow through you.

Ew. I don't even want to contemplate how you'd make a puppy flow through you, so I'm going to drop the mental image I just forcefully created and go back to letting the cuteness flow.

Found it on youtube. It's pure American Kirby Is Hardcore to say the least. [[youtube:ZiZTjip1G58&feature=player_embedded]]

Also, finally got around to making the original star of Epic Yarn- Prince Fluff!

Descendant of De De De?

And a comparison shot of him and Kirby,

It's lucky they see eye to eye in the game, unlike another Epic Duo.

And here's a group shot of all my yarns so far- More coming soon!

Fluff's Big Ol' Eyebrows are deeply pleasing to me.

^^ It seems to me like it was intended to be dissonant, for humor's sake.

Possibly, but there tends to be an overlap between the two usually.

Still, watching kirby go tank mode through the street definitely sez something about western culture, don't you think?

Reminds me of a line from the Magi Nation page:

"America had the teenage Deadpan Snarker Tony, while Japan had the hyperactive Idiot Hero Dan. ...This probably says something fairly deep about the cultural differences between the two, but I'll be damned if I know what it is."

So we do get an explanation for why Kirby's regular powers aren't available. Makes a lot of sense too. After all, where was the air supposed to go, anyway?

Didn't somebody come up with that explanation some pages ago? This is just more confirmation than anything else.

The part where Kirby just transforms into a car like it ain't no thing sounded like something right out of Axe Cop.

Who is this guy narrating the intro?

No, really—who is he? I know I've heard him before!

OH GOD IT'S OUT ON SUNDAY.

How did the American release date fly under my radar? This, Four Heroes of Light and Super Scribblenauts.

Come on, man, get yer head in the games!

Does anyone know when this'll be released in the UK?

Before Halloween, I hope.
