Kirby gets crafty in his new game Kirby Epic Yarn set to release this month for the Nintendo Wii format. As a long time game girl, in temporary retirement, I'm very familiar with Kirby games. This is a surprise to me. Who would have thought that Nintendo would venture into this field. What's else, Mario takes up macraming.
Jokingly, I thought this would be a great game to introduce the seasoned knitters and crocheters into the gaming experience, you know the *ahem* grandmothers. Of course, that just may be an insult to all the yarn wranglers. I just had my great-aunt and grandmother in mind when I saw this game. When I was a child, I used to try to teach my grandparents how to play Super Mario Bros. Has anyone ever try doing that? It wasn't easy, and after a while I realized that my grandmother wasn't at all interested in playing games, period! And my grandfather, well, he tried, and did really, but we both got frustrated and left it alone. I mean pressing the jump and go buttons should be the simplest thing avoid falling in the gap, right?
I haven't played the game yet, and yet I heard it's great. I'm still in retirement of gaming, so I can't say that I will play it or not.
Maybe I might come out of retirement for this...
