Woolly Thinking

Kirby’s Epic Yarn, the cutesy Nintendo Wii platformer that came out almost NINE YEARS AGO, is getting a revamped re-release on Nintendo 3DS. This unique platformer sees Kirby negotiate a creative patchwork world of buttons, threads and other such haberdashery.

Nintendo Japan has released a trailer looking at some of the extras features coming to this lovely title. Oh, can’t you speak fluent Japanese like me? In that case, I’ll help you out by explaining thatKirby’s Extra Epic Yarnwill include a new difficulty mode, as well as new Ravel abilities to help our hero out in battle.
