that style really suits yoshi IMO

NukaCola4109d ago

The yarn/LBP style is awesome. Kirby's Epic Yarn was artistically excellent and this looks great. Wii U hardware isn't all to shabby after all.

morkendo234108d ago

we gamers waited since 1998 for little big planet slash/yarn style yoshi????? NINTENDO!!!!! WAS EXCITED for wii-u til seen the video.

Apex134109d ago

This is a very good Nintendo Direct and I am getting excited.

iamnsuperman4109d ago (Edited 4109d ago )

This looks good but I can't help but see Kirby's Epic Yarn in it. It artistic style is almost identical. They might as well have done another Kirby

metroid324109d ago

If u can't notice the graphical upgrade ur simply blind sorry yoshi's yarn looks incredible wow.

iamnsuperman4109d ago (Edited 4109d ago )

I never said it was graphically the same. I said "artistic style" not it looks like a Wii game. Of course it is a graphical improvement but what I am saying is they have taken the Kirby's Epic Yarn style (which sold) and just applied it to another Nintendo character. I would rather see them go a different direction with Yoshi and just release this game as another Kirby game because the STYLE is exactly the same

dark-hollow4109d ago

Most of today's games follow the same bland brown and grey art style, so why complain about only two games that share the same art style?

Pozzle4109d ago

At the start of the video Iwata says the same team behind Epic Yarn is behind this Yoshi game, so it's bound to look a little similar.

EddieNX 4109d ago

Its supposed to be like Epic yarn.... it's by the same team and is basically a Yoshi version.

Did you not watch the direct ? And yeah the graphics of this or an entirely different level to the 480p epic yarn...

jacksheen00004109d ago (Edited 4109d ago )

Agreed, I don't like the yarn graphic art style in Yoshi's Island. I hope Nintendo go with a toy story look instead.

So Xenoblade 2,Mario Galaxy3,Mariokart WiiU,Yoshi's yarn,Wind Waker Hd,ect are all new wow,i'm excited.

LastXeno4109d ago

Who else thought this looked like Little Big Planet? which is not bad

ElectricKaibutsu4109d ago

I noticed that, and even though Nintendo did a similar art style with Kirby, I know we're going to hear a lot of people calling it a rip off.

Veneno4108d ago

Dude even the Yoshi model looks like Sackboy.

Wii U games that still haven't been ported to Switch

The Nintendo Switch is potentially nearing its lifespan, and several Wii U games haven't found their way over as ports yet.

I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.

The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.

How would XCX work without dual screens functionality?

Cacabunga3d ago

Same as Paper Mario color splash. One of the best wiiu games and getting even better with dual screen. Same reason why i prefer Splatoon 1

Profchaos3d ago

This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.

Stevonidas2d ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

repsahj2d ago

They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.

Chocoburger2d ago

Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.
