This feels like pants that are pre-ripped for some reason, as opposed to the charming comfort of what came before. [Issue #39 – May/June 2019, p. 70]

There's enough on display here that, if you were a big fan of Kirby's Epic Yarn, you could get at least get a couple more hours of entertainment out of it. However, assuming you’re not a big fan, than I would suggest waiting for something with a bit more substance to come out, which should be around Metroid Prime 4’s release.

Almost nine years and Kirby's Epic Yarn is still one of the cutest platforms ever made. And it works very well also on the Nintendo 3DS.

um jogo legal e invocador, um estilo novo,amo que Kirby sempre Inova em pequena coisa, as pessoas reclamam que Kirby não é difícil mas Kirby não foi criado para ser uma jogo difícil, igual quase todos os jogos da Nintendo, não é difícil mas é muito divertido

As a person that skipped original Epic Yarn on Wii, i found this game entertaining and perfectly executed. It was cheerful, colorful and fun experience on par or even better than recent Mario games. It deserves more credit and popularity.

Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn is a near perfect port. The improvements Nintendo and Good-Feel have incorporated into the game should appease fans that wanted a more faithful Kirby title the first time around, while also giving players more reason to stick with the game after the credits have rolled. Unfortunately, the 3DS hardware just isn’t up to the task of faithfully converting the charming visual aesthetic of the Wii original. Still, those who have never experienced the game before will find Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn‘s relaxing pace and gorgeous soundtrack more than worth the cost of entry; it’s just a shame this wasn’t released on Switch.

Although it doesn't take full advantage of what the 3DS is capable of, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn is a must-have portable version of a top-notch Wii game complete with plenty of impressive extra content that complements an already great 2D platformer.

Nine years after its initial release Kirby's Epic Yarn still is a very special platform game. The worlds are beautiful and creative. We also welcome the new Devilish Mode, which makes the game more challenging.

Those craving a challenging platformer are still better off getting their fix from Mario or Donkey Kong in spite of the new Devilish Mode, but those looking to unwind, collect and explore a creative and imaginative world will find a journey worth taking with your 3DS at least one last time.

Although the willingness to add several extra content types is appreciable, some questionable choices in this regard betray an unpleasant “cut and sew” effect that sometimes threatens to stain the precious dress made by the virtual artisans of HAL Laboratory and Good-Feel.

Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn is essentially a remastered version of Kirby's Epic Yarn, with a few tweaks when it comes to some new moves and the loss of the co-op component. Beyond that, the game remains the same: a very easy effort, which was mostly designed to be used as relaxation, rather than as a challenging, competitive piece of gaming and while it does a very good job at its primary goal, it might be too easy for players looking for something more compelling.

it's a extremely fun and unique game. it's a remake of Kirby's epic yarn which bringed Kirby back from it's 3 year hiatus. The gameplay manages to keep you interested as you discover new secrets and find new ways to finish the level. it's very different from a traditional kirby game but it's worth getting.

A very cute game from beginning to end. If Kirby games are meant for 6 years and above, this one would fall more into the 4 and above category as there is no way to get a game over and would serve as a perfect entry level game for any child. It's child-like charm was not a hindrance to me though, Kirby is Kirby!

The screen of the 3ds is just to small for this game. Many enemies hit you before you can see them. The game lacks exciting power ups and good levels. I only enjoyed the last two worlds from the total 8. The music is garbage and so is the voiceacting and the story. Even the controls feel very stiff for a Nintendo game. Biggest disapointment of the year for sure.

I've always sorta liked Kirby games, but I don't think they're all that. I really like this one though it feels like Kirby meets Yoshi's Island, it's pretty damn good and I like the level design.
SummaryKirby can transform into knitted wonders like tanks and flying saucers. Plus, his new ravel abilities mimic his classic copy abilities, adding something new to every stage of this action-adventure game. Ravel abilities allow Kirby to drop buttons like bombs or wield a wire like a sword. And that’s just the beginning of all the makeshift ... Read More
