I picked up a copy, even though I also have the game on Wii. My some and I are planning to play through the Wii version together. He does not care so much about collecting everything. He just wants to get through the levels. Sometime later I will play the 3DS version and do the careful exploring and collecting that I prefer.

P.S. I will also be skipping the Switch because I have a massive backlog on 3DS and Vita to play through. My wife will only tolerate so much in the way of hoarding games. Hopefully I can catch up in time for the Switch 2!

I went ahead and bought this. I have to say it's not quite as good as some of the original game's reviews make out.
It's incredibly similar to Yoshi's Woolly World, and I think I substantially prefer that over this.

3ds is more likeable for me than Switch - im 37 so nostalgia may play here some part (i like limited graphics capabilities)

Anyone else got this?

A relaxing experience in between more difficult games. I recommend it!

The devilish mode seems like a great way to replay this game! The new abilities and new minigames seem fun as well. This will be one of the last games I get for the 3DS... And to me, this feels like the last or one of the last batches of ports to the 3DS.

They also made Wario Land The Shake Dimension which was one of the first hand-drawn platformers and a really good game, my favourite Wario Land game besides 1.

@Octoguy

I didn't know anything about this particular studio. Turns out they make Epic Yarn, Woolly World and the upcoming Crafted World game.
So there's good reason to think Crafted World will be good then, as the studio has a good record of quality games.

This game will likely be my last 3DS purchase. I loved it on wii, but I can't find the disc. 😢

@Octoguy Sounds good, I already have many difficult games and I always wanted to try this one especially after playing Yoshi's Woolly World, that I recommend. :D

@BlueOcean If you’re a complicionist the game is a bit more challenging, since you loose beads when you take a hit, collecting a lot of beads in each level is essential for 100% completion.

You didn't say the release date, 8th March 2019.

My 3DS is not dead at all! Actually, my New Nintendo 3DS is a treasure and I have games for many years to come. I didn't get Kirby's Epic Yarn on Wii so I will get it on 3DS. It looks similar to Yoshi's Woolly World because the developer is the same. I liked Yoshi's Woolly World a lot, it's stylish and fun unlike other recent Yoshi games. The laid-back music is good too. Best Yoshi game since the original SNES one, available on SNES Classic for those that haven't played it (the GBA version is not the same).

@Octoguy True. They say that the challenge is collecting all items, right?

Now I only need the 3DS version of Dragon Quest XI.

@Dezzy The game is from Good Feel, the same people that made Yoshi’s Woolly World. It is pretty good, it has a charming art style, a relaxing soundtrack, a bunch of collectibles and great level design. It’s also worth mentioning that Kirby’ Epic Yarn is probably the easiest game you’ll ever play, there’s no “lives” system and no way to lose, I don’t consider that a bad thing but it’s up to you to know if like that kind of game.
I hope I’ve helped!

Confusion with what?

I must be getting tired. I read the thread title as Kirby's Epic Yam and was all "It's not even close to Thanksgiving"

My 3DS also still sees frequent use. I fully expect to be kept busy with its joint DS and 3DS library for at least the next couple of years, and that's ignoring replays. XD

I'm mildly curious about this one as well. I've never played any of the yarn-based Nintendo games; I'm admittedly not horribly fond of playing as Yoshi, but I've never given the Kirby franchise a proper chance.

You might want to change the thread title to Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn to avoid confusion.
