Kirby: Epic Yarn announced [N-CONF]

I don't think Nintendo has officially stated what inspired the art style for Kirby's Epic Yarn. Of course, that Japanese NES commercial looks like the culprit.

Enough with the "Western Kirbeh" trope. The new blue guy is close enough as it! *luvs the REAL box-art in the link* :lol

Weird boxart. Not as god-awful as the Other M boxart, but is that all they could do with the colour palette?

I really wish game cases went back to a wider packaging. I feel like ever since the DVD became standard (with long DVD cases being the standard) boxarts went down hill.

As far as I'm concerned, SMG2 is the only good Nintendo-made boxart released this entire console generation. I can't even think of a good one they released last generation...I guess Metroid Prime was ok.

Did you just re-shop the shopped boxart instead of using the actual cover? :lol

To be fair, DVD boxes are wider than VHS boxes.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
Haha, for a moment I thought Nintendo had returned to their angry brow days. Luckily they seem to have stopped that, Super Star DS and now Epic Yarn have been camp as hell. Cracking box art.

Box art is great. The zipper along the Wii box is genius.

Indeed. I would love to see Good-Feel and their awesome ex-Konami guys become an industry leader. If they had to start with style 1st, I'm okay with it.

When the official thread comes up, it should be called Kirby's Epic Yarn Freshly Knitted And Strung Together Official Thread. Maybe even add "We'll gladly leave you in stitches!".

Argh let's leave the "Epic Yarn" part out of the title. I hate that name so much.

Kirby Wii is good enough!

Wow. Nintendo has been on fire with the box-arts recently. The Japanese Other M art and this Kirby one would look so damn nice in person.

Any release date on this video based video entertainment yet?

You gotta know the meaning of it to like it!

Epic means big or grand, Yarn means tale, so it's a big tale! Also remember the phrase "spinning a yarn"? :)
