Yarn Yoshi Doesn’t Look Like the Sequel that Yoshi Fans Want

GenGAME writes: "It’s clear from the behavior patterns of Nintendo’s customers that what they desire is consistency, with innovation arriving at the level of new worlds to see and fresh content to consume. Unfortunately, Nintendo doesn’t seem interested in that. They’d rather 'surprise' people with their Unique Art Styles™ and New Ways to Play™."

What were Yoshi fans looking for exactly? I don't think a sequel to Yoshi's cookie would have pleased anyone. As long as this new game doesn't screw with what makes a Yoshi game great, then I'll be happy.

Helloooooooooooooooo Yoshi's Island sequel

It already had a nice pastel/crayon art style and it was a challenging game. I don't dislike this game but it's definitely not what I wanted.

^^^^ this is exactly what I was looking for. (Yoshi's Island 2 U (<pointless character indicating nothing))

Wasn't there a yoshis island sequel already? I thought they did that on the ds.

This isn't one of those games they've built around yoshi. It's like SMB2 and Kirby's Epic Yarn where they had a game idea and forced a beloved character into it to sell the game. Nothing wrong with that but it is what it is. It's not for me but a new Nin sidescroller is always in fashion.

I want a game that is creative and fun to play. I don't know what this guy is looking for.

The graphics look terrific. I hope this game is good.

just like krigys epic yarn it was simple awesome fun

[silkrevolver]

I want it.

If it's anything like Epic Yarn, I'm in.
Just... make difficulty an option.

I'm getting it for my daughter, who loved Epic Yarn.

[josephayal]

Not all that exited about the yarn look, but it's Yoshi so I'll buy it

A real sequel would be a sequel to Yoshi's Island. The graphics were great, it had a real story for Yoshi, AND it wasn't incredibly easy. Actually, it was pretty hard to 100% the game. Especially Extra 5. That was insane.

I don't see the problem, it's a Nintendo platformer I'm sure it'll be great fun to play.

Note on the article: I really have no idea how good the game will be. I just think it will probably flop.

"I’d rather Nintendo stop pushing their bizarre “style” experiments and instead start focusing on building the sequels that fans have been looking forward to"
Windwaker
...nuff said

[legendoflex]

I'm trying to figure out what you're trying to say here.

The Wind Waker caused enough problems for Nintendo that NoA had to tell EAD to stop making TWW2 and make Twilight Princess instead.

[gamer42]

Yeah but didn't it have so much popularity and praise for its gameplay and art style later on that Nintendo decided that it deserved an HD remake and two sequels on the DS. Anyways I rather like the art style of the new yoshi game, and you won't see the type of immediate backlash you did for windwaker, because it's not straying too far from the previous games, I mean come on the Yoshi games were always cute and looked kidfriendly.

as long as it has a good gameplay, Im ok.. btw I liked Kirbys epic yarn
