New Yoshi Title Being Developed By The Guys Behind Kirby's Epic Yarn

I enjoyed Kirby's epic yarn. It was surprisingly good. I expected it to be rather forgettable, but I was very wrong. I'll definitely get this game.

Maybe they'll be a crossover between Yoshi and Kirby here?

Kirby Epic Yarn was brilliant,and this looks like it'll be the same.
Twas a surprise to this .

Weehahoo! Yoshi yoshi! (Excellent! I can't wait to check out this game!) Hmmm... Yoshi? (I wonder if that means that "rumored" list of games was true?)

Hm...they have the actual Yoshi's Island director on this. Hopefully, he won't let the game become too easy.

The Yoshi model looks awesome! I wonder if I'm talented enough to make a Yoshi plushie like that. Can't wait!

I would do anything for a Yarn Yoshi Plush right about now!

@MrWalkieTalkie: Me to, maybe they will make one for the game when it's released, or if it's a preorder bonus somewhere, then YOU GO AND PREORDER IT!!!!!!!............yeah I can't wait for the game and hopefully a Yarn Yoshi Plush.

I'll get this. The graphical stylings are really cool. I never played Kirby's Epic Yarn so it's new to me!

YOSHI left us but he's coming back !! ^^

Looking forward to this but hope it's a bit more fun to play than Kirby's Epic Yarn which I found a bit of a yawn!

I think this will be a great and fun game. I can't wait till it comes out.

I hope that we can lose lives in this game unlike in KEY.

Here's hoping for multiplayer so me and my gf can enjoy this together as we enjoyed Kirby's Epic Yarn

@BenAV and Arthedain
Maybe they should offer the option to play it as Kirby Epic Yarn (for the youngers) and as a classic 3 life old school platform (Donkey Kong Country Returns!) for expert players.

A fun little surprise. Not a hug fan of Yoshi, but a big enough Good Feel Inc fan to buy this.

I have a Good Feeling about this.

I liked the 3Dish (2 12/D) parts more than the Kirby look. There were a couple of places in Yoshi's Island were the path split to give the world more depth, hopefully this will have more of that. 2D just bores me after awhile. At least LBP has 3 levels.

This is ridiculous.

Nice, if it's as good as Kirby, I'm in.

They Said Smtn About Showcasing Gfx... Where? It Looks EXACTYLY As Good As Kirby Epic Yarn Which, Admittedly, Looked Great On The Wii But Looks Outdated On The Wii U. To Top It Off...... The Whole Game Looks EXACTLY Like Kirby Epic Yarn... Did I Mention That?

Looks fantastic! I love Yoshi. <3
Here's hoping it will be a great game!

@Molotov I'm pretty sure it's still very early in development.

Is this as well as or instead of Yoshi's Land?

Awesome but I was expecting, you know Yoshi's Land but Yarn Yoshi would do for now.

This will be my Game of the Year, most definetely! Just because it's a new Yoshi game!

I would like to play Sonic as yarn

Sounds promising. But it had better be as good as Yoshi's Island, if not better. I've played that (well the remake, which is still great in its own right), Yoshi's Story, and Yoshi's Island DS. Yoshi's Story disappointed me, and Yoshi's Island DS was great, but something was missing about it compared to the original.

Kirby's Epic Yarn was awesome, so I'll defo be buying this!

Best news ever!

I would prefer a Kirby's Epic Yarn sequel (for me, Kirby looks better yarned) but this news are also amazing.

This was one of the most exciting announcements from the Direct! Thanks, Nintendo!

YES! Good Feel is the perfect developer to take on a Yoshi game. Not to mention we are finally getting a Yoshi game on a home console after so long. I just knew we were going to see something Yoshi on Wii U. This Nintendo Direct was legendary.

If this is the same Yarn World, will Prince Fluff return?

I'm surprised that they are going back to the yarn theme, but KEY is still one of my favorite Wii games so I'll probably get this at some point.

Before I saw screens I was like "Yarn again? I'd have liked to see the pop-up book style refined" (plus it keeps feel good doing new art styles) but seeing it being more 3D shows its the yarn style refined.

Now one thing I think. Yoshi's Story and Kirby's Epic Yarn have a common criticism; too easy. Then again Yoshi's Island DS (aka Yoshi's Island the official romhack) is criticised for being too hard to the point of being unfun (as many romhacks up the difficulty to unfair proportions). There were fewer complaints about Kirby not being fun due to the lack of difficulty.

Not terribly excited at the moment but we'll see! Maybe that will change.

That looks like in of Yoshi Big Planet!

@BenAV Wouldn't count on it.

Kinda disappointed by this news. I would've rather had the art style of Yoshi's Island (and the gameplay, to boot). That said, a new Yoshi game is cool, and I don't doubt it'll be good.

Drooling!

This looks really good! I never expected to be interested in this like I am!

"Pulling the strings."

Shame on whoever came up with that.

Wasn't a huge fan of Epic Yarn, though that had more to do with the game feeling slow and boring than being easy. Have to wait and see how I feel about this.

I was hoping it would look more like Shake It, but I trust these guys to make a good game.

Hopefully it isn't much like Yoshi Story, though.

Love Yoshi, love epic yarn....this makes me really excited!!!

I think yoshi's Epic Yarn would have sounded better, since The last yoshi game was yoshi's story, nintendo could have said "yarn an epic story in yoshi's epic yarn" or something cheesy like that.

If it´s not like boring Yoshi´s Story with meh soundtrack then it´s great. I was hoping for a new Yoshi´s Island, but this looks quite good too.

Kirby's Epic Yarn really bored me to death, so I'm kind of worried about this one. Especially since Yoshi's Island is one of my favorite games of all time.

I wanted to love Epic Yarn, but you could honestly train a monkey to beat that game. Ramp up the difficulty and this could really be amazing.

Kirby's Epic Yarn was easy, but I really enjoyed it and it took me around 15 hours to unlock every stage and get 100% on it. I wonder how many other people who claim it was too easy actually bothered to do everything?

If this lasts me a similar amount of time, maybe 20 hours, and is just as much fun to play, then I'll be very happy with it.

I don't believe Iwata ever referred to the game as being called "Yarn Yoshi." Is this info coming from someplace else?

watching the gameplay video of yarn yoshi just looks awesome, I'm really starting to want a Wii U, there bringing the games I want out on it! Nice change from the Wii

also hope its not on the easier side like epic yarn.

Not good-feel, no, just no....

Tezuka, make sure THAT IT'S ACTUALLY HARD

Yoshi Story was the game i got with my 64 all those years ago...

Epic Yarn was good if you weren't looking for a traditional Kirby experience. It better be different with this game since most likely there won't be another Yoshi game for a lot of years to come.

It looks a lot like Little Big Planet. I hope there is more than one plane of movement.

Yoshi Yarn Planet.

Kirby's Epic Yarn was too easy AND too short - my 6 year old son played thru it in about 3 hours I think - but I don't want to see this as hard as DKCR with those near impossible minecart levels where it's all memorization and reflexes and no fun. Return to Dreamland was better.. And since there are several colored Yoshi's in Yoshi's Story I expect this to have real multiplayer - everybody gets to be Yoshi, none of the usual 2nd class citizen stuff like Nintendo usually pulls - see SMG and NSMB Wii and U.

Looking forward to it, hopefully it's good.

Oh yes, the rumors where true!! Do want! Do want a lot!!

Kirbys Epic Yarn is one of my favorite wii games, but I've never been a huge fan of the Yoshi games other than SMW 2. My intrest has been piqued.

Hopefully it's different enough from Kirby's Epic Yarn. It was a great game, yeah, but it shouldn't be the same.

Not interested. These games are devoid of challenge, right?

This is amazing! I just hope they bring back all the different color Yoshis and make Black and White Yoshis unlockables.

As long as you can die...

Missed out on Epic Yarn, definitely getting this one!!

WAIT. 0-0 That means MGS is next if that rumor a few months ago was right (crossing fingers!)!

I am really curious! There are 2 different styles shown: A style very similar to Epic Yarn, but also a very different style! I am especially interested in that new style, since that seems to push the hardware! But both look nice, of course!

By the way: It's definitely a cross between Yoshi's Story and Kirby's Epic Yarn!

I'm a huge Yoshi fan and I loved Kirby's Epic Yarn! It's so unexpected that they would do this! I'm very excited!

Epic yarn was a kool concept, but it was too easy. This however look gorgeois in hd and looks more of the style of Little Big Planet with some of epic yarn n there. I just hope its more diffult then Epic Yarn was.

@Henmii I felt like it was combine Epic Yarn with Little Big Planet but slightly higher hd res on it.

If they can capture the challenge, and fun of Yoshi's Island and do the yarn thing from Kirby with it; this is a must have.

Oh, it looks cute.. Reminds me a lot visually of LittleBigPlanet for the PS3. I also really loved Yoshi's Story for N64, so I'll be keeping an eye on this

Hmmm, this I guess will be okay, but it looks like Epic Tarn too much. Still looks like a good game though.

Looking forward to it. I don't understand the complains about Epic Yarn being too easy. Have you guys actually tried for 100%? Some side missions are quite difficult.

OMG YOSH!!!!!!!

Will surely pick this up at D1, i freaking loved Kirby's Epic Yarn it's my favorite Kirby game EVAH!

I just hope it's as good as Kirby's Epic Yarn (minus the non-dying aspect that most people didn't appreciate).

After looking at the screens in a bit more detail I'm worried that the only similarities it's really gonna have with KEY is the yarn theme, whereas I really would like it to be pretty much identical to KEY in pretty much every way but just with Yoshi and the Mario characters etc instead of the Kirby stuff. I hope they don't ruin the already brilliant gameplay or underlying game design by trying to force the 3D/2.5D stuff into the game unnecessarily for example.

I really don't want the next Yoshi's Story. I want the next Yoshi's Island but just with the KEY artistic style because I think that would once again look stunning and work really well with this Yoshi version of the game.

All I ever thought Kirby's Epic Yarn did wrong was making it a Kirby game instead of a Yoshi game and not letting the player die at all, even when they fell down holes etc. If they just addressed those two little issues and nothing else I think they'd have one of the best platformers ever on their hands.

It's really simple to get this right, Nintendo, just make Yoshi's Epic Yarn.

Here's hoping they nail this one.

The funny part is I thought about Yoshi's Story when playing KEY. Not surprised they're using the same style. Both KEY and YS were too easy though enjoyable.

@Assassin87,

You are right, it seems to be inspired a bit by Little big planet! Cool stuff!

A perfect match!

Love Yoshi he's awesome!
