REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The platforming fun of Nintendo’s newest game release is literally bursting at the seams. Kirby’s Epic Yarn™, now available exclusively for the Wii™ console, finds the lovable Kirby™ jumping, battling and transforming his way through a remarkable world where everything is made of yarn and fabric. The game weaves dazzling graphics and outrageous characters together into a wild, wooly new adventure that can be instantly enjoyed by players of any age or background. A cooperative two-player mode even lets friends experience the game’s irresistible action together.
