Kirby swinging around in this new Epic Yarn gameplay video. Nintendo updated this game’s Japanese site with a bunch of clips, which you can stream on Youtube here. Don’t miss out on the fire truck demonstration!

Oh, and Famitsu has reportedly revealed that Meta Knight will (unsurprisingly) appear in Kirby’s Epic Yarn:

New Japanese trailer for Kirby’s Epic Yarn. As if we haven’t had enough problems with tomatoes this year, the plot for this new Wii game is that our pink hero devours a particularly appetizing tomato, but the angered owner of that vegetable punishes Kirby by sucking him into… a magical sock (a Garden of Eden retelling, perhaps?).

Kirby’s Epic Yarn is slated to release in Japan on October 14th and in North America on “not soon enough.”

Japanese, yarn-filled commercial for Kirby’s Adventure — released more than 17 before Nintendo’s announcement for Kirby’s Epic Yarn earlier this week. Astounding!

And just in case you haven’t seen the trailer for Kirby’s Epic Yarn yet (a Wii game that Nintendo promises will “spin a yarn in a way that yarn has never been spun before”), here’s the delightful video that everyone’s hyped about:

While Kirby creator Masahiro Sakurai is heading the project, Good-Feel (Wario Land: The Shake Dimension, Looksley’s Line Up) is doing most of the heavy lifting. For those wanting to learn more about the co-op platformer, our own JC Fletcher wrote up an excellent preview here.
