Kirby's Epic Yarn is the ninth platform installment of the Kirby video game series, in development for the Wii video game console by Good Feel, Inc., with supervision from HAL Laboratory. Originally planned as a 2.5D in the series for the Nintendo GameCube, a failure to complete development in time saw a shift of focus to the GameCube's successor, the Wii, where it was eventually realised as a 2D game, along the lines of previous entries in the series.
