Revisiting the gaming world after a long hiatus, Kirby is all set to flaunt a newly spruced up drape. The next installment in the series which was announced previously during this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo will soon land up on the Nintendo Wii. It has been revealed that Kirby’s Epic Yarn will hit stores across Europe in February 2011.
In this classic side-scrolling title, gamers can embark on a ride with the adorable Kirby. Shoveled to Patch Land by the wicked sorcerer Yin-Yan, the character is converted into a woolen string. This unique world is said to have been broken into several pieces by the evil. As players step into the Kirby’s boots, they will be able to whip yarn in the midst of a fight for disarming adversaries in Patch Land. They can also join hands with Prince Fluff for sewing together this wrecked land.
Gamers will also have to search for the impious King Dedede and his group of assistants namely Waddle Dees and Meta Knight. Owing to Kirby’s woollen architecture, players hold the power to transform the character into a UFO, a dolphin, a robot or a steam engine. Besides, they can deck up residences around Prince Fluff’s castle for making new friends and unlocking challenges by obtaining two themed items as well as a piece of music on each level.
Developed with interesting twists and turns, this chapter has been set in a stunning environment laced with a textile theme. This imaginative world houses loads of zip doors and button swings which enhance the overall look while covering several mysterious and hidden items. Catering to vivid age groups, the title comes with a two-player co-operative mode for dishing out an immersive adventure.
Kirby’s Epic Yarn is the first title in the franchise designed exclusively for the Wii. The game is expected to release on February 25, 2011 across Europe.
