When I first heard about Kirby's Epic Yarn, my first reaction was "More like Kirby's Epic Yawn!" However, after watching the video, it actually looks fun. I want it now. It's like a cross between Paper Mario and Little Big Planet.
Skyward Sword's graphics are somewhere halfway between those of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, a step down from the latter if you ask me. It seems the motion sensor will play a bigger part this time around too. The sword looks to me like it's even more motion-sensitive than in Twilight Princess. The way Link holds it in those preview videos looks awkward, as if he's mimicking the manner in which the player is holding the Wiimote, whereas he'd hold it casually in Twilight Princess and only swing it when the player jerked the Wiimote around.
Donkey Kong Country Returns looks decent. I'd like to see more of the gameplay though. Can Donkey Kong and Diddy be controlled separately? Will there be a 4-player mode like in New Super Mario Bros. on the Wii? (I envision four players being able to control the four Kongs of the SNES trilogy, though Kiddy Kong is so abhorred that I doubt he'd make another playable appearance.) I wonder how good this game will be without Rare at the helm. Whatever the case, I'm just happy to see that we'll finally be getting another Donkey Kong platformer after 11 years. I wasn't sure we'd ever see another one with Rare gone, seeing as Nintendo's been giving us nothing but junk from this franchise such as Donkey Konga and Donkey Kong Jungle Beat.
3DS looks cool. I don't know if I should get that first or a PSP. I also want a PS3. Hmm...
