Originally stamped with the ambiguous date of "2011," today Nintendo confirmed--in a press release--that Kirby's Epic Yarn will arrive in Europe on February 25, 2011.

We're still waiting on word from Nintendo if the decision to launch in 2011 has anything to do with removing the game's hidden "murder simulation" mini-games found in the North American version. We suspect Nintendo will not respond considering we just made that last part up.
