Sinfully cute; Unique level designs that stay true to fabric theme; Hidden treasures and gems leave level of difficulty and time spent up to the player; Samescreen coop.

Abstract: Pros: Clever ideas, cool look. Cons: Too easy, tedious story You really can’t get much cuter than Kirby’s Epic Yarn, a platformer from Nintendo in which a yarn hero takes on yarn monsters in a world of cloth. Yarn is the quintessential Nintendo product...
Abstract: Kirby has never been one of Nintendo's biggest characters, but he certainly has a following. The games are never difficult, and they all rely on the pink puffball's ability to suck in, eat, and then take on the powers of the various enemies around hi...
