Watch Reiner And Phil Play Kirby's Epic Yarn

Today marks the release of Nintendo's latest Wii platformer, Kirby's Epic Yarn. You can check out our review right here, but if you actually want to see the game in action, we've got you covered. In this half-hour video, you can watch us play through several levels of the game in co-op and listen to our absurd conversation.

A couple of things to note before you jump in: This video was recorded in SD, so keep in mind that the game actually looks quite a bit crisper when your Wii is hooked up through HD cables. Also, later in the video when I keep accidentally pulling enemies apart instead of grabbing them, that's my dumb fault, not the game's. I forgot that you need to hold down the grab button to not totally destroy enemies.

Be prepared for a cuteness overload. Also for Reiner and I to tell you how good we are at games over and over, screwing something up immediately after we say it every time. WE'RE EXPERTS, PEOPLE.

WARNING: Those who are even mildly allergic to cute should stay away, because this game will make you OD on cuteness. Oh, and it's totally the "hip-hop hop" technique. Hip-the first jump, hop the second, and hop meaning "jump". Hip-hop hop.
Hey, the video randomly stopped a little more than halfway through.

Call the jump The teamwork toss!!!!

Looks like I've got to add this to my Christmas list. Thanks for the video, dudes. Your bromance is beautiful, Phil and Reiner.

if i remember right Luigi is a ghostbuster from Luigi's Mansion
by Frosty Sunday, October 17, 2010 at 02:59 PM

Or Friendship Flip? Holding-Hands Hop?

Lol Fail for Phil and Reiner.
by allenbandido Sunday, October 17, 2010 at 03:20 PM

the video stops at 23 minutes!
by Mray901 Sunday, October 17, 2010 at 03:42 PM

Wrong. Best job for Luigi: Ghostbuster.

But I really like this. It's almost like Replay, but for new games.

Moar please!

And Congrats Ghostpig, you get to work at Gameinformer whenever Phil leaves.

lol you guys are ridiculous, and don't diss Yoshi's Story, that game rocked
by Matt Sunday, October 17, 2010 at 03:57 PM

the bro throw! that should definitely be the name.
by Benjamin Long Sunday, October 17, 2010 at 04:07 PM

Luigi is a ghostbuster.
by mojomonkey12 Sunday, October 17, 2010 at 04:17 PM

I r guwd wrider two.

I rather enjoy Ghostpigs comments myself. You should give him a job, but keep Phil as well.

I vote for bro throw, good job whoever came up with that.

I think Luigi would make a great administrative assistant, he could be the ultimate yes man in the right situation.
by Picklegod Sunday, October 17, 2010 at 04:23 PM

The teamwork element of the game looks great. Looking forward to playing it with my brother. Probably won't be as good a team as you guys though!

I tried to think of an awesome name for your teamwork jump but I could only think of stupid things like the Kir-Fluff jump. Feel free to facepalm now.
by Marz Sunday, October 17, 2010 at 04:34 PM

You should do this every week. Play a new game and post it online. LIke replay minus the nostalgia factor.
by steve mancha Sunday, October 17, 2010 at 04:35 PM

howabout the buddie bounce
by Phil Kollar Sunday, October 17, 2010 at 04:39 PM

Bro throw for life.
by starbucknessmonster Sunday, October 17, 2010 at 04:43 PM

The Bro Bounce! The epic move should be called the Bro Bounce =D
by Feircy Deity Sunday, October 17, 2010 at 04:59 PM

Wow, that was great. Being able to change the background and levels to solve puzzles just makes it even better. Bro throw is definitely the best name and the most memorable.
by spidey47 Sunday, October 17, 2010 at 05:12 PM

Looks pretty cool. I think Kirby64 is my favorite format for Kirby tho. That game was underated and you guys should do a replay of it. Names for tag-team move:

"The Kollinator with Reinifications"

"The Gary Sinese"

"The Kirbtastic Double-Dutch"

"The Falutian Solution"

"The Patrick Swayze"

"The Not That Theres Anything Wrong with That Hop"

Working at Gameinformer would be my dream job so if your hiring, ya know let me know.
by Ben VanHouten Sunday, October 17, 2010 at 05:47 PM

wait, you guys work together, why wouldnt you be freinds? and why do u hate Dan?
