Yeah it can be hard to get a gold medal in some levels and even harder now to get all items since you have the devilish mode and you have to have finish the level with 5 heath in every level to get all the items
I don't see why dying is a issue with people for this game. You want a challenge? 100% it and come back to me after you are done begging this game for mercy.
The idea that this game isn't hard always confused me. In order to complete each level with gold, you can't take hits or you lose gems. It's basically Sonic the Hedgehog where you have to avoid being hit to get to a bonus level, even though you are invincible as long as you still have one ring. If it isn't hard for you, you aren't playing the game right.
How does this compare with the difficulty of Yoshi's Wooly World on 3ds? I actually love the ultra easy laid back "mellow mode" of these types of games. I play a lot on the treadmill and just want something to relax with and not really have to worry about dying and starting over etc... pretty much the opposite of Celeste lol
Yeah you’re right that would have fixed the whole game. I took one look at this game and thought “golly gee this game would be all better if you could play as blue marshmallow instead of pink marshmallow”. The problem is absolutely not that they ripped out an essential part of the fun of the game by removing the two player mode, it’s that you can’t play as blue kirby!
It's unfortunate they didn't add much but if they lower the price I'll definitely be getting it especially considering it'll probably be one of the last triple A titles on the 3ds
Kirby's Epic Yarn is the best Kirby game, in my opinion. It's not only such a distinctive, inventive, innovational and beautiful game with such an amazing world, and the co-op was absolutely great on the Wii. I have so much nostalgia for this wonderful piece of art.
"For a lot more on Kirby's Epic Yarn" - I don't think that there will be many more videos about it 😂 But that's more than okay xD I've already subscribed to you years ago 🤷🏼♂️ ;)
I wouldn’t call a 240p 2D re-release of a 10 year old Wii game that removes a mode that was an essential part of the fun of the game a good note to end on. It’s just depressing, especially knowing that most people won’t even notice this game come out so it’ll probably sell like garbage, just like that new mario and luigi game.
I just adore this game because of its creativity! I love the yarn world and its wonderful light and happy music! This also goes for Yoshi's wooly and crafted world!
But the normal mode is the Wii version? So wouldn't the 3DS version just be straight up better then since you are getting the Wii version and more options that you can or cannot on your own choosing.
Epic Yarn Wii and it’s “cousin” Woolly World are some of the best two player couch cooperative games ever. Worth buying a Wii U alone just to play. I haven’t bought the 3DS Epic Yarn, but I can’t imagine playing it solo
That reoccurring enemy in the devilish mode seems like the main thing that would ruin the experience for me. Wonder if they could release an update that could let you toggle that enemy. I may still pick this up because I never played in on the Wii but I enjoy the soundtrack from what I've heard.
I am a huge Kirby fan and I completely forgot that this game came out today and I don’t know if I’m going to get it because I already have the game in the wii
I have axeity disorder. I like that it's relaxing and just... No stress If they took all the time they spent on extra stuff.. And put it into 3d.. It would have probly been better
hey, you know what would be extra epic? what if after you beat yin-yarn you unlock special non-yarn stages and play as the flying inhaling puffball we know and love. now THAT is what i call a good final 3DS game (reply if you agree)
Does anyone else feel terrible when murdering the waddle dees? Especially after seeing them try to jump at you and end up landing on their faces doing no damage?
By the way: This is currently the only 3DS game published by Nintendo that has not come out yet. There are *no* other Nintendo games announced for the 3DS. And the only 3rd party 3DS game that we will get physically is Persona Q2.
As a Kirby fan, I also don't feel bad skipping this one as it was not a Kirby game to begin with. In fact, I think the gameplay much better suited a Yoshi platformer so I'm glad they eventually made Yoshi's Woolly World (which I did play and love)
Chuggaaconroy showed me how awesome the original is and I don’t think they needed to change the difficulty. The abilities didn’t need to be added. In fact a better Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn is just have the original game and include devilish mode as I feel it ups the difficulty just enough to warrant its existence.
I've never understood the difficulty complaint with this game. Not every game needs to have challenging platforming, and I say that as a huge DKC fan. I love difficult platforming. But there's nothing wrong with a relaxing adventure without much challenge. There also _is_ challenge here for sure if you want 100%.
Eh Im still gonna get this game regardless cause it looks so charming as BiS remake no matter what people (or haters) say. I honestly dont care much about the quality in these games as long as they're fun. I haven't played the original so I know I'll enjoy this.
Didn't want this on my Wii, the most unused gaming console in my collection. That's why I was so happy it was released on the 3DS. Glad it gets all the hate, good times.. good times.
Bummer, only 4 stages in Dedede and Meta Knight's modes? I was expecting at least the same amount as the yarn friends' minigames. And Ravel Abilities essentially making both puzzles and Devilish Mode irrelevant? I couldn't decide between this game and the BiS remake as I already played the original versions, but now I know I'll definitely buy the latter.
I feel like it was worth mentioning the fact that the game does not play in 3D, despite the fact that that would have made the game stand out from the wii version. A lot of the problems with this game could have been easily solved by putting it on the switch. The 3DS has run it’s course. Nobody wants a 3DS anymore, as it is an obsolete console. I predicted from the moment they said that the 3DS could coexist with the switch that they would be proven wrong within the year, and would you look at that I was right.
Wellp i just saved $40 lol I love Epic Yarn, but this remake seems to be for people who didn’t lol. I might still pick it up but probably much much later used or on sale.
*it's like "difficulty" was not the point..... XD* (but rather a simple fun and mostly fair challenge for all ages to be able to enjoy.) Like with the issues in DarkSouls2 following the better 1st one, ehs. Still having more "modes" that really matter or make a difference in games is something we need more of in Nintendo games to give more life; like if along with Masters Mode in zelda games there were a 'True Masters' or "Elder Gods" such mode above that or such, lolz...
Its happened... Nintendo run out of ideas for Kirby games when they remake them I don't count kirbys extra epic yarn as a new game so say hello to the END of kirby... Hey,at least the last game for the 3DS was a Kirby game Farewell kirby
But it feels like trousers.
*Pants
Nintendo Life lol Europe version be like
Next splatfest is pants vs trousers.
1 2 free
This game really makes you feel like trousers
But does it feel like pants in the US?
Yes it does. And the flat is an apartment.
This is the localization we need nintendo.
how does kirbo even know what pants feel like?
You call epic yarn relaxing with 2 players? Have you ever played it with someone who constantly uses you as a yarn ball.
Like with Yoshi and most Kirby games, the real difficulty comes from completing it 100%
Loved the original epic yarn
I don't think that really applies to epic yarn though. It is very easy to not even every take a hit.
secret333 There are a few levels I remember giving me some trouble, though maybe I was just too young
Unicky Chroma yeah that’s what I figured. Completing games is no joke lol
Best Kirby game! :)
Yeah it can be hard to get a gold medal in some levels and even harder now to get all items since you have the devilish mode and you have to have finish the level with 5 heath in every level to get all the items
The 3DS doesn't die, it just becomes extra epic 😎
Keep the 3DS alive!
yeah! keep it alive and well
@@tristanwilliams4180 no.
Makoto Naegi yes
Akfamilyhome It’s game library is complete now!
I don't see why dying is a issue with people for this game. You want a challenge? 100% it and come back to me after you are done begging this game for mercy.
EXACTLY lmao.
Frankly, it compliments the coziness of this game. It's a good feel game where you don't have a worry in the world, including dying.
Agree
I just saw the title and my brain autocorrected "Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn" into "Kirby's Extra Thick Yarn", which I think would be a much better game
I always call it extra thick yarn
As a joke
Remember the big yarn ball hat?
*Yeaaaaaahhhhh.*
This is epic.
Extra epic.
I'm still getting it, having the tunes from Epic Yarn on my 3DS on the go is a blessing.
I hope it can play in sleep mode.
Or maybe you could just (gasp) rip the music off of youtube or something and put it on your phone and listen to it with no compression
Here it is: the final 3DS game that we know of...
PersonaQ2 hasnt released yet in the US. Was gonna pick it up but im sick of 3DS and its not coming out till summer where i wouldnt care at all
Hope from FF13 sux At least this is the final 1st Party game on 3DS. The only 3DS game I got ever since the Switch came out was WarioWare Gold.
Don't forget shakedown Hawaii
Keep in mind. Most Nintendo consoles end with a Kirby spin off
E Why does everyone seem to assume that Nintendo will be splitting their resources if the develop 3DS, and Switch games?...
The idea that this game isn't hard always confused me. In order to complete each level with gold, you can't take hits or you lose gems. It's basically Sonic the Hedgehog where you have to avoid being hit to get to a bonus level, even though you are invincible as long as you still have one ring. If it isn't hard for you, you aren't playing the game right.
Its only hard for completionists.
For average players who will only play the required main campaign its easy.
@@bandicootsmwcentral2950 not just for the sake of completing, but you do unlock extra levels that are fun.
How does this compare with the difficulty of Yoshi's Wooly World on 3ds? I actually love the ultra easy laid back "mellow mode" of these types of games. I play a lot on the treadmill and just want something to relax with and not really have to worry about dying and starting over etc... pretty much the opposite of Celeste lol
Love GameXplain, but I can't get over how they use early 2000s emoticons for their verdicts.
Hope they keep doing this in the future.
I feel like you should have been able to switch between Kirby and prince Fluff
Yeah you’re right that would have fixed the whole game.

Now let us string the review together.
"My name is..."
Why does the narrator sound weird...? Did they replace him?
"They feel like trousers"
Now i feel dumb.

There are *sew* many puns with yarn I could *craft* up, but instead, I'll just relax and *unwind.*

Possibly the last 1st party game on 3DS. If it is, then it's a good one to end on!
Persona Q2 in June!

@@Monya-MOHMONYA I know. The reply I made was like adding a joke to a joke. Get it?

I just adore this game because of its creativity! I love the yarn world and its wonderful light and happy music! This also goes for Yoshi's wooly and crafted world!
So no way to play prince fluff? No button combination or after credits to unlock him?
Wasn’t this game originally meant for him? At least in the Wii version you could use him as a 2nd player!
After this comes out, the only 3DS game left to release is Persona Q2.
I wonder what Nintendo will say about the 3DS at the next investor's meeting.
Chariot Goblin I honestly don’t think they’ll say anything
Oh sweet I was just looking for a review and low and behold you guys come in with one
Epic Yarn was an amazing game, despite the lack of difficulty. I'm honestly not very happy with the changes... but that's just me.
But does it Really Make you feel like trousers?
Don’t mind me, imma sit here waiting for my 3D Kirby game on Switch...eventually...
3DS is better
I played this with my sisters and we loved customizing our flat with cute decorations
Wait... Isn't Derrick the super Kirby fan supposed to do this...?
He hates the 3DS
He probably skipped it because they released an inferior version of a 10 year old game on a dying console.
Listening to their Real Talk Podcast, I think Derrick was too busy for this.
Me on the outside: oh look a new Kirby game!
Me on the inside: has Vietnam flashbacks of void termina
I've played the Wii game--utterly loved it (even with the no dying)--and I really think you're greatly underrating this gem (no pun intended).
I'm so excited about Kirby Epic Extra Yarn for 3ds and wanna get it so extremely bad ^u^
I always felt like half the difficulty in this game came from having enough gems by the end of the level to 100 percent it.
You can't die in wario land 3 yet it still felt challenging. Loved that game.
Im loving this game right now, Awesome game for anyone to pick up anytime, I think it’s awesome on 3DS
But the normal mode is the Wii version? So wouldn't the 3DS version just be straight up better then since you are getting the Wii version and more options that you can or cannot on your own choosing.
God, I love Epic Yarn. It's so adorable, and either it or Mass attack was my first Kirby game. Definitely getting Extra eventually.
Okay, now this is EXTRA epic.
Epic Yarn Wii and it’s “cousin” Woolly World are some of the best two player couch cooperative games ever. Worth buying a Wii U alone just to play. I haven’t bought the 3DS Epic Yarn, but I can’t imagine playing it solo
I haven't played Epic Yarn yet but I think this version will be my 1st experience of the game.
Its not as detailed.. But I'm still excited
That reoccurring enemy in the devilish mode seems like the main thing that would ruin the experience for me. Wonder if they could release an update that could let you toggle that enemy. I may still pick this up because I never played in on the Wii but I enjoy the soundtrack from what I've heard.

I have never seen a mixed review from you guys before
Edwardo Rodriguez They did it for New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe for the Switch back in January.
@@danielmires1010 Ohh ok, I didn't have a chance to see that one!
They should add Prince Fluff to Smash.

That's supposed to be a bad thing?

wait you cant play as fluff
aww i loved to softlock the game
now im sad
Didn't want this on my Wii, the most unused gaming console in my collection. That's why I was so happy it was released on the 3DS. Glad it gets all the hate, good times.. good times.
Not a big Kirby fan but this looks like the definitive edition!!! Of Epic Yarn!!
Epic yarn to me was a pretty great game when I had it on the wii
3DS for life. I just picked up another 8 or so games for my collection on eBay. When the eshop shuts the prices are going to get so bad :(
Got it today-loving it.
Bummer, only 4 stages in Dedede and Meta Knight's modes? I was expecting at least the same amount as the yarn friends' minigames. And Ravel Abilities essentially making both puzzles and Devilish Mode irrelevant?
I couldn't decide between this game and the BiS remake as I already played the original versions, but now I know I'll definitely buy the latter.
I can't believe they managed to release all the games on the same day...WILL WE EVER KNOW IF IT FEELS LIKE TROUSERS OR NOT?!
That music issue with devilish mode is a game breaker. How tf does nintendo not realize that? Ridiculous.
I feel like it was worth mentioning the fact that the game does not play in 3D, despite the fact that that would have made the game stand out from the wii version. A lot of the problems with this game could have been easily solved by putting it on the switch. The 3DS has run it’s course. Nobody wants a 3DS anymore, as it is an obsolete console.

I can’t wait to pick this up!!
Great Wii game I love this alot on the Wii. It a shame it won't sell well due to the system it is on.
This game is a great example of “ If it’s not broken don’t fix it “ which Nintendo didn’t listen to.
They should’ve just made a straight up sequel so that some of these new mechanics can mesh with the game better
trying to get all those beads and not get hit is the challenge v
I'm looking forward to game simply for its relaxing nature.
I mean... the two side games of main kirby titles were always super short and basic. DDD Gogogo and Slash+Bead are the same as those before them
Should I go for Wii or 3DS version? I was for sure going for 3DS, but after review not sure which one
3ds because of the hard mode and you can play as meta knight and King dedede
I've never seen gamexplain give a game a "mixed" rating
Wellp i just saved $40 lol I love Epic Yarn, but this remake seems to be for people who didn’t lol. I might still pick it up but probably much much later used or on sale.
No co op is pretty bad. That was so fun!
All I wanted was a lifebar...
Michirin9801
True
This in HD in switch could have been 100 times better
Just because a game exists doesnt mean it has be for the Switch.
Falvern57 actually it should be who the fuck still play 3ds when I play on 3ds it’s so outdated
Dhm Dhm I play my 3ds more than my switch.
How about some info regarding the 3d effect?...
Andreas Orschulok
Doesn’t exist :/
This is a bummer. Guess I'll just go and rewatch Chuggaa's LP of Epic Yarn again, then.
Dedede Go Go Go? More like Dedede go go go’s for TATER CHIPS
Should I get the Wii or 3ds version?
Oh my gosh looking at this just wants me to have it 😃😆🙄☺😊💧💧💧
Kirby's extra not so epic yarn
I love this game and always have! It’s just so cute! (But the 3DS version kinda sucks)
I'll be sure to pick this up in support of the system that doesn't cost $300.
... In Canada it's 375 plus tax.
And each game is 79..
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THE STORY IN ENGLISH, in the Wii for a strange reason the audio was in Japanese but the texts were in English
The Wii version also has English audio. Not sure what version you played in that case.
