that style really suits yoshi IMO

NukaCola4102d 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.

morkendo234102d ago

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

Apex134102d ago

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

iamnsuperman4102d ago (Edited 4102d 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

metroid324102d ago

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

iamnsuperman4102d ago (Edited 4102d 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-hollow4102d 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?

Pozzle4102d 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 4102d 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...

jacksheen00004102d ago (Edited 4102d 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.

LastXeno4102d ago

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

ElectricKaibutsu4102d 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.

Veneno4102d ago

Dude even the Yoshi model looks like Sackboy.

Looking Ahead: The Lingering Questions About the Next Mario Kart

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."

I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.

gold_drake5d ago

there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.

nintendo needs their bangers early on
