Hal manager Takashi Ikegami is really quite taken withKirby’s Epic Yarn, so much so that he believes it could be the start of a brand new franchise outside of Kirby’s influence.Mario’s Epic Yarn, perchance? Ikegami thinks so.
“When I first saw them (the game’s visuals), I thought they were perfect for Kirby,” he says. “I think there’s a lot of potential for expanding this style to other series, like making a game calledMario’s Epic Yarn.
“That’s how well I thought the foundation had been laid, so I was really happy that from among all the characters available it was Kirby who was chosen. I also thought, ‘Aw man!’ Envy as a creator that we hadn’t thought of it first followed my initial joy.”
The yarn style really helped the game stand out, and I agree it was perfect for Kirby. Still, seeing it in other games would be very interesting. If you can find a way to give me a yarn-flavoredZeldagame and somehow make it work, I’ll give you a damn trophy.Â
