Nintendo's yarn based game - Kirby's Epic Yarn

While searching for games for my son (ok, me) I came across this: http://kirbykirbykirby.com

And while it not necessarily knitting, I’ve never come across any game focusing on yarn (or needlework) before. My only disappointment is it’s for Wii (which I don’t own; was only searching for DS games).

[B]Yarn graphics? Really? This is the fall of 2010 and that’s enough to make this game stand out during prime gaming season?[/B] Yes. The gameplay in Kirby’s Epic Yarn could be atrocious and this would still be a game worth checking out. The game doesn’t just look as if it was created with yarn and thread — as if our TVs used stitches instead of pixels — it behaves as if it was. Backgrounds fold and unzip. Enemies unravel, some as neatly as a sweater pulled by a loose end. Not a second goes by in this game when its creators aren’t delightfully showing what the yarn and fabric elements of a side-scrolling video game might look like. Yarn electricity. Yarn lava. Yarn dinos.

I may just have to buy this for my grandsons for their Wii. I can use it while I babysit.:teehee:

Wow, this looks neat! I might have to try it. :teehee:

Must HAVE!!! :slight_smile:

I’m seriously thinking about obtaining a Wii;:think:
The companies are getting wise; I can see this expanding:
"Umph, naw, don’t need that…I pretty much like what I got already…[I]why[/I] would I need a new…saaaay, that looks like [I]yarn[/I]?"
That’s right—feed and honor my craft and I will give you my money.

CUUUUUUUUUUUUTE!!!11111
