Videogamer writes: "At one point while I was playing Kirby's Epic Yarn, I felt an uncontrollable and thoroughly embarrassing urge to get up off my seat and stroke the TV. The game looks unbearably soft, like the screen has ceased to conform to its glass and plastic composition and morphed into a tangible patchwork of cotton, wool and felt. As Kirby trots along the level, the fabric platforms indent and deform under his feet, just like a sofa would if you were to walk along that. Epic Yarn is a cushion-y collage of soft pinks, pale yellows and baby blues, a game that a 22 year-old male should have no right falling so madly in love with. God damn you, Nintendo."
