Perhaps the one of the most different things about Kirby this time around is his new look. Kirbys Epic Yarn trades in his three-dimensional look in exchange for a colorful and playful look that somewhat resembles that of Yoshis Story. Still, despite the relatively childish look, the graphical approach that Good-Feel has taken has been welcome by many gaming fans.
The visuals of Kirbys Epic Yarn looks great, but its also very interactive. In its debut trailer, Kirby was shown pulling back a piece of material to reveal a new area. Whenever Kirby goes behind the scenes of a stage, the fabric bulges outwards to show his location.
Yarn is a huge component of Kirbys Epic Yarn and that can easily be seen in the debut trailer. In one boss fight, Kirby uses his yarn to haul on a dragons tongue and spin it into a ball. After yanking it as far he can, the mass that Kirby has created is whipped right back at the dragon, hurting him in the process.
In another particular boss fight Kirby uses yarn in a very similar matter, but instead of yanking on a dragons tongue, he uses it to catch fireballs to send them back at a flying bird.
Kirby can take the shape of a variety of powerful vehicles this time around, ranging from a fast car when on land, a submarine when underwater, and even a massive robotic tank and a UFO.
Cooperative multiplayer is present this time around, which allows a second player to tag along and help out. The second player takes control of a different Kirby that wears a crown.
Kirbys Epic Yarn is everything that Kirby fans have been dying for. Kirbys latest adventure is creative and simple, and many gamers will be anxious to hear that it hits store shelves this fall.
