    Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn. Is consider one of my LEAST favorite Games out of my entire life. Out of any remake Games on the 3DS, THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST REMAKE GAME THAT I EVER PLAYED ON MY ENTIRE LIFE SO FAR! I don’t even know how to start this off with. For One, they took away the easy parts and challenges in Kirby’s Epic Yarn, for starters I really like the game (I’m talking aboutKirby’s Extra Epic Yarn. Is consider one of my LEAST favorite Games out of my entire life. Out of any remake Games on the 3DS, THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST REMAKE GAME THAT I EVER PLAYED ON MY ENTIRE LIFE SO FAR! I don’t even know how to start this off with. For One, they took away the easy parts and challenges in Kirby’s Epic Yarn, for starters I really like the game (I’m talking about Kirby’s Epic Yarn one of my favorite). Two, they didn’t have Multiplayer, of course just like Poochy & Yoshi Woolly World (Which this game actually is a good remake). Three, They added Ravel Ball which is like Kirby Copy Abilities, Expect they make this WAY to easy. Because This Game is practically a Joke. And I really like Kirby’s Epic Yarn Challenges. But now, getting all of the collectables make this WAY too easy. Four, They also Added Devilish Mode, Which is a Terrible Idea. They Expected for you is to get as much lives as possible to get some rewards (Which I’m NOT Getting them all). Five, It was the only Kirby Game That I dislike the most so far, and the sad part is, it’s the only Kirby Game that I hated it, and it’s one of my favorite series. And Six, This Game is kinda of just like Paper Mario Sticker Star (Which I don’t actually hate this). For the record, This Game is Pretty Bad to any other people who’s play a Kirby Game and if you played Kirby’s Epic Yarn, DON’T PLAYED THIS GAME! And if you actually like This Game. That’s Fine. But I really Wish I could of Liked this Game too. For Now, it will be My Paper Mario Sticker Star, til people started to get mad at me. 0 out of 10, consider this my least and only Kirby Game that I ever played on my whole life. This Ruined My lovability to Kirby's Epic Yarn. THANK GOD THE 3DS IS DEAD!?!?! >:(… Expand

    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.

    Really? Yarn? Kirby is the best video game franchise in history and the series resorts to making games aimed at kids where the characters are made of yarn? Who came up this garbage? The game is way too easy and boring. No fun at all!

    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.

    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.
