Despite being initially announced last summer, we haven't heard a great deal about the upcoming Yoshi title on Switch. Originally planned to launch this year, the game was eventually delayed into 2019 to give the developers more time on the project, although Nintendo's Bill Trinen said that we can expect to see more at some point this year. Perhaps the game will be covered in the delayed Nintendo Direct?
One detail that seems to have slipped through earlier than planned, however, is the game's title. Nintendo's official website (on some occasions, at least) is now listing the game as 'Yoshi's Crafted World'.
This name would make sense - following on from Yoshi's Woolly World on Wii U - but we've had no official confirmation surrounding a title just yet. If you're wanting to see the name on the site for yourself, you might have to do some experimenting; the game page itself still lists the game as 'Yoshi for Nintendo Switch (Working Title)', but you can sometimes get the new game to appear when looking at related games from other pages. We found it on the Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! page.
Has Nintendo let this one slip? Or is this just another placeholder name? We'll have to wait for an official confirmation to find out.
Do you think this could be the new, real name for the upcoming Yoshi game? Do you hope to see it when the Nintendo Direct gets rescheduled? Let us know below.

Aw, not Yoshi's Flipping Island?
@Giygas_95 I was hoping for that, too. It's a sad time.
There were probably some changes scheduled to go live right after the direct, and when the earthquake happened they forgot to cancel some of them.
"Yoshi: It Hasn't got That Much Labo In it" didn't fit on the box.
Kinda makes sense...so....yeah.
Not Yoshi's Flipping World? Awwww
I wasn't impressed by the yoshi game on wii u, so I'm going to pass on this.
Yoshi's Flippin' Island would've been much better. Eh.
Yoshis delayed so long i couldnt care less anymore word
Much better name
It lacks the alliteration of "Woolly World." I can't say I love the title.
Just doesn't sound right Yoshi's Crafty Country could work
@LUIGITORNADO Well that was the wii u day's you know. Nintendo changed after that and are making way better games so I would give it a try cause it does look fun
Pretty lazy name there.
Yoshi's (Mine)Crafted World.
It was delayed to add Labo functionality, mark my words.
It's fairly obvious that this was going to be in the Direct today.
I conquer with @Bunkerneath and @BladedKnight. Yoshi's Crafted Country is catchier.
Why people sounds disappointed about the name ? I mean, who cares, it's still the same game, imho this name make more sense than "flippin world"
@LightBeam Given there’s a core mechanic that flips your perspective of the 2-d world, that name makes sense.
Crafted World is rubbish though. Even just changing one word to Crafty would be better.
I loved Whooly World on Wii U, so I'm extra excited to hear more about it! I was pretty confident that we'd see it today, but this basically confirms it's in the (now delayed, of course) direct.
@CarsonCool You say that, and then you could say a good chunk of Nintendo's first party offering on Switch are rereleases from Wii U.
They could call it "Yoshi's steaming pile of turd" and I wouldn't care as long as it was a good game lol.
They should have ported over Woolly World to compensate for the delay in this game. I adored Woolly and would rush out to buy it again.
Why is everyone acting like it was gonna be "Yoshi's Flipping Island?" I'll grant, it doesn't sound awful, but...
That sounds like some adult swim, "hey, let's hit a crack pipe and do robot chicken stuff," stuff.
@justin233 You got a solid point there, considering nobody bought the Wii U.
I hope the game is actually well designed and fun... not just relying on gimmicks.
The name is really bad...
@nonprophetmusic I for one was just joking.
@TeeJay Maybe, but the direct wasn't even supposed to happen for several more hours from now.
Woolly World was a great fun game and made interesting use of the wool elements, so I'm looking forward to this one to see what they can do with the materials they're using in it
"Crafter World" makes sense with the previous game title and how this one looks, but I don't quite like how it sounds.
But, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet"
The title actually goes with the design of the game and it isn’t a bad name. Could be better but it’s fine with me.
@Giygas_95 See, I dunno, when you said it, it had this air of genuine familiarity, and I just wanna know why.
O.o
@TeeJay That would make sense.
@nonprophetmusic Trust me, I wasn't serious. Sarcasm can be invisible on the internet, and I guess I didn't make it obvious enough.
@Giygas_95 ...Familiarity, as in, it sounds... familiar. Like, in spite of it sounding really stupid, I'm nearly sure someone else said it somewhere.
Edit: Oh, that's right, it came from that stupid "leaked internal document."
That's why it sounded familiar and stupid.
But, man, it would just work.
@Tsurii "I don't care what it's called, I just want to play the hell out of it."
Wrong game, the Doom thread is a different page.
@nonprophetmusic Sorry, I must've misunderstood you. I believe there was a supposed leak a while back that that's what the game was gonna be called.
Sounds fine to me. Woolly World was one of my favorite games on the Wii U so naturally I'm excited to see more of this one.
Dissapointed it's not Yoshi's Flipping Island
@NEStalgia Diablo III would like a word.
@Giygas_95 I didn't edit my post fast enough, I figured it out.
It's all good. I'm the sarcasm champion. I'm basically... uh... Oh, gosh, who's a really awful person that doesn't cross any real lines for a Nintendo related website... There's my President, but I'm not that bad...
Anyway, I express my opinion here and people get their jimmies ruffled, so I... hmm. I don't guess I do anything different at all.
@nonprophetmusic I prefer jimmies lays to jimmies ruffles. sometimes kettled.
I could go for this. I'm still playing Yoshi's Story, though.
@HobbitGamer But I think we can all agree the best jimmies are pringled.
@Giygas_95 or Yoshi's Crafted Labo
Yoshi's Tax Returns
As mentioned in some comments, this actually gives some more credibility to those rumors about a Direct happening this month with another 3DS port or something, Online service info, another smash character reveal, the Yoshi game, logo or some tease of the StarFox game, a glimpse of a couple of other surprises like a Metroid Prime Trilogy port, etc.
“Yoshi’s Crafty Accounting Practices”
It’s a cute name tbh
@MoonKnight7 @TeeJay Would have been a really lame ND if Yoshi wasn't in it, they know we were already upset with it not being at E3 and getting delayed until year. Yoshi has to be part of that 35 minutes. Too abd they didn't leak a date, it's almost certainly spring or summer, mid-March or end of May.
@NEStalgia I could imagine some Labo connection, like maybe they let a Yoshi live in that cardboard house if you buy this game and Labo kit 1 and give him some minigames in there. The world needs more Chao Garden experiences from Sonic and the Dreamcast VMU.
I wasn't a big fan of Labo. But I'm curious to see, how they'll implement it in a 'bigger' game like Yoshi. ^^ The leaked title also sounds 'Labo-ish' to me.
I like it and hopefully the game is as good as Wooly World - which had quite difficult levels when you tried to 100% it
That is one of the worst titles I have ever heard.
Better than Yoshi's flipping Island though
Hrmm. The title does worry me a bit that the game will include Labo support. But so long as it's not necessary for anything and it's only a side-thing as it is with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, that's fine with me...
@rjejr
I'd say summer (or later) is more likely than spring, only cause Fire Emblem is also coming in "spring 2019." If Yoshi was a spring game as well, they would have put it in the E3 Direct.
@MoonKnight7 Oh man, I am like constantly forgetting about Fire Emblem, thanks for the heads up. Guess Nintnedo has learned after all their failed attempts at giving out release dates to just not have them anymore. Sony does the same. I'd still guess summer as the new Poekmon game, gen 8, 9 whatever it is, will be in November, Pokemon is always in November, no point trying to release Yoshi next to that juggernaut.
Oh, you are probably also right about it being shown at E3 if it was in March. So may it is. Or September, they like September too. Or spring 2020.
As our lovely genderfluid leaker Laura Kate Dale implied, we can expect a few leaks in the upcoming days - whether as inside jobs from eager employees looking forward to something that wasn't apparently meant to be today, or for unrelated reasons.
I want this regardless of the name! And Whooly World too, please! Pronto!
On the assumption there'll be a load of cardboard in this game...
Yoshi's Massive Stiffy
No?
Anyone?
Name isn't everything people. You were always talking positive when graphics don't matter that much. gameplay over names any day. With that said
@gaga64 Well, "Wooly" was a reference to this wool-world, so this name still makes more sense imho
@Bunkerneath
Ooh. I like that better.
WiiU's Woolly World was amazing! Beautifully made and great gameplay. Also, very good soundtrack
I would have liked Yoshi's Flipping Island.
Enjoyed Yoshi's Wooly World but the load times did irritate me since it was only a 2D platformer. Super Mario 3D World had faster loading times.
@LUIGITORNADO Mostly cause while developers make games, they port over games that nearly no one played cause the wii u sold 12 million
Honestly surprised this is the only real leak I saw that was probably direct-related. I though Amazon, being their typical selves, would have leaked all of the listings by now. Lol
aww i wish you didnt put the name in the title. i was trying to keep it a surprise to myself
I love Yoshi's Woolly World and I recommend it to everyone. Do we know who is developing the new game?
@wazlon Super Mario 3D World is a very small game (I mean data) with the same assets and sounds all the time while Yoshi's Woolly World is a much bigger and richer game so has longer loading times like Tropical Freeze.
@BlueOcean
Same developers who made Woolly World, I believe.
What do you mean next year's? Lying Reggie said it was coming in 2018, and fanboys all say there's no Switch game delays, so that means it's releasing in 2018 according to moronic fanboys and lying Reggie!
Europe will get a different title.
Something asinine like "Yoshi's Cardboard Country".
We continentals are too poor with English to underrstand words like "crafted". The movie "Scorched" was called "Robbery" here. "Miss Congeniality" was "Agent Catwalk". "Cruel Intentions" was "Sex Games". "Indigo Prophecy" was "Fahrenheit". And "Kirby's Canvas Curse" was "Kiby's Power Paintbrush", ruining a perfectly good rule of three, and shrugging off the fact that the game makes no mention of any paintbrush.
"Aw, not Yoshi's Flipping Island?"
Lol, that would have been better!
@NEStalgia So, I guess Yoshi's Labo Land is off the table as well, then...
@BlueOcean Thanks for telling me that, I'd always wondered why the loading times were longer.
Yoshi and Kirby games just bore the crap out of me these days. Weak and often easy games to fill the gaps between big Nintendo releases.
Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. Perhaps it sounds better in japanese. They should change the name.
@rjejr
Well looks like I need to eat crow here. You were right about Yoshi, it's a spring game. Though to be fair, at the time my logic was pretty good. Completely baffling that Yoshi wasn't in the E3 Direct while being a spring game when they went through announcements up until... Spring. Nintendo is so weird the way they do things sometimes.
@MoonKnight7 Nintendo spends too much time trying to trick people is the problem. Every day is April Fools Day for them, the entire company is 1 big troll.
People want MP4, give them Federation Force.
People want Animal Crossing, give them amiibo Festivsl.
People want Starfox, force the Gamepad on them.
People want the map and item management in Zelda BotW like WW HD and TP HD had, show it, then take it out.
Was Fire Emblem even in the ND? I know Pikmin 4 wasnt, nearly complete for 3+ years now. I wish they would just admit Hey Pikmin was the game he was talking about and be done with it.
And don't worry, you still probably be right about Yoshi, spring for Nintendo usually means August or September. Besides all being trolls nobody there has ever learned how to read a calendar.
@rjejr
Do you mean was Fire Emblem in yesterday's Direct? No it wasn't, there probably wasn't anything really new to show I guess. We did see quite a bit of it at E3 so I'm ok with putting it off for now.
Lol, yeah, I thought of that too about Spring meaning Summer. As we all know, Dark Souls will be here in that sweet October summer sunshine.
@MoonKnight7 "Dark Souls will be here in that sweet October summer sunshine"
That reminds me, I really need to make a calendar so I can see how many of their games are late. Anything that only said "2019' yesterday is probably 50-50 for 2020. Either Animal Crossing or Pokemon, I can't imagine them both releasing in the same year. Though Gamefreak is pretty good about hitting those November release dates, so I'll have to guess AC in 2020.
