Kirby's on the lash

The news that Kirby's Epic Yarn won't reach Europe until 2011 tore our woollen hearts in two, but now this trailer has come along to cheer us back up again with more threadful antics.

Showing King Dedede in woolly form for the first time as well as brand new levels featuring everything from dinosaurs to huge crushing balls, it also explains a little bit more about how Kirby became so threadbare. It's all in Japanese, but you don't need to speak the language fluently to understand he tried to eat a tomato that was actually an evil wizard masquerading as a fruit.

Kirby's Epic Yarn is released in North America on October 17th and Europe in 2011.
