According to Joystiq, Nintendo Australia confirmed that Kirby's Epic Yarn will release in PAL territories in 2011. Although a specific date is not revealed, Joystiq notes that online retailer Play points to a March release; however, retailer listing are often speculative.

Sadly, whatever the date may be, European and Australian gamers will have to wait while others put the final game through its adorable paces.

Although we can't say for certain, we suspect Kirby's Epic Yarn has been held back in certain territories in order to censor its extreme violence and graphic blood. It has to be that, right?
