You don't remember the debug menu on Miiverse?

That's not even close to a confirmation. So being "old" or late to the news is wrong.

[Neiteio]

Wow, the art style is amazing! :O

[Omikaru]

This looks really charming and delightful. I kind of regret skipping Kirby's Epic Yarn, so maybe this game will be a way to redeem myself.

[Mariolee]

Holy crap, Nintendo fucking wins.

[phosphor112]

Any footage?
EDIT: woops, found link.

[POWERSPHERE]

Wow that's graphically fantastic, but the worlds shit test OP. At least put the video in.

[Goldenroad]

I can only hope it's not babby's first platformer like Kirby's Epic Yarn.

Says the guy with the Journey avatar (most simple platformer ever), who can't even spell the word baby.

I'd be happy with another Epic Yarn, but much more satisfied with a full out Mario World 2-2.

[Napalm_Frank]

Based on Epic Yarn? *sigh*

Well I can only hope visuals are the only thing based on it but I doubt it. Epic Yarn is pretty bad (too easy mainly) compared to the AAA platformers from Nintendo.

[ashley678]

cOLD weather here in New England, huh?

have u been browsing gamespot forum too much ?

[eternalb]

Gamexplain just posted an higher quality version of the gameplay footage

http://youtu.be/wSJMjQAJjio

Argh, I need this!

[Rash]

The style was beautiful on Wii with Kirby's Epic Yarn so it should be even better on Wii U.

As easy as Epic Yarn was, I did enjoy the game greatly (though I paid almost nothing for it). Hopefully this one is a more traditional platformer in terms of difficulty. I'm not expecting NSMBU levels but maybe something more akin to Yoshi's Island.

From the footage and screen it's not just going to be 2D. There are 3D Planes in there so the game will have a lot of 2.5D stuff going on.

[IntelliHeath]

cOLD weather here in New England, huh?

LOL! I have not seen that for long long time ever since I left GameFaqs. That kind of attitude that you should left it behind, instead bringing it to here.

[Zeer0id]

welp

i'm on board

[Impeccable]

So it's Epic Yarn re-made with Yoshi? :/

[Zeer0id]

So it's Epic Yarn re-made with Yoshi? :/

uh, no, it's just the same art style

[BHK3]

who can't even spell the word baby.

its a joke http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=Ll-lia-FEIY

I'm disappointed, guess nothing like yoshis island is ever happening again.

[GhaleonQ]

Oh...Oh, Lord...Its preciousness has bypassed my every defense!

Ah, who am I kidding? I'm a sucker for cuteness and tweeness. Yoshi's my favorite character in the Super Mario series, so, basically, I'm glad that no one can see me weeping right now. IT'S BEAUTIFUL!

(I do think pastels work better for Yoshi and yarn for Kirby Of The Star, based on their storytelling styles. It's still a wonder, though, and Good-Feel is the best.)

[Rash]

So it's Epic Yarn re-made with Yoshi? :/

It looks like a step up from that, actually. The same concept at its core but looks like it could be a more advanced game.

[Gartooth]

Just like with Kirby's Epic Yarn, I absolutely adore the graphics of this game and it looks just plain beautiful.

Unfortunately, I feel that Good Feel just doesn't make very engaging or challenging gameplay in their games (Wario, Kirby) so I'm going to probably hold off on this game until I hear good word of mouth on it's overall gameplay/fun/challenge.

[Sadist]

I want this game

Fudge the haters

[Snkfanatic]

Pretty disappointed with the art style. Just not a fan of this yarn style.

[Talon]

Yoshi's story is charming!

And about 4 hours long.

[EmCeeGramr]

Ryan Davis is going to tear himself apart

[BowieZ]

So, which footage shows their hopes for the actual game? The first couple seconds look just like they imported Yoshi into Kirby's Epic Yarn. But, towards the end they show a couple really nice looking HD screens.

I didn't understand anything Iwata said, but I got the impression they began to code the game using Kirby's Epic Yarn's engine and art style, and have eventually adjusted it to its own thing...

Or is this literally Yoshi's Epic Yarn? :/

[Kilrogg]

Really disappointing so far, and with very confusing communication at that. Is the footage supposed to be some kind of WIP footage? Looks like it since the screenshots look nothing like the footage and Iwata says they want the game to be a graphics showcase.

[Tunic]

Beyond excited for this title! I have been wanting a Yoshi-centric game for quite a long time now.

[Boss Doggie]

So Feel Good developer = boring game huh? I'm gonna be cautious.

[TriGen]

I fully expected this to be revealed, glad it was. Loved this ND.

[ashley678]

looks kinder like little big planet

[WickedCobra03]

welp i'm on board

Oh god yes! Want a WiiU now!

[upJTboogie]

I'd probably be more excited of Epic Yarn was more exciting.

[BowieZ]

[Battle Born]

welp i'm on board

This looks amazing.

[Alcoholikaust]

kirbys epic yarn was incredible, and this literally looks exactly like it- sold

[Ingueferroque]

I vastly prefer the top screen. The felt graphics are well-done and cute, but they don't give me a sense of scale or world.. it looks very flat.

[Sullichin]

This looks beautiful

[Tuck]

Not digging the art style tbh. At first it looked like a worse version of Kirby's Epic Yarn. I feel like it could be good if it were more visually intensive (As in, more going on int he environments). But as it stands, the environments were very simple.

This screen looks alright:

But thats about it.

[Delicious Waffles]

Wow. Those screen look beautiful. Gonna look amazing in HD.

[The Boat]

So Feel Good developer = boring game huh? I'm gonna be cautious.

Bull. People may say that about Kirby (although I don't agree) and I can kind of see the point, but not about Wario Land.

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Looks better than I ever imagined it would!

[bndadm]

kirbys epic yarn was incredible, and this literally looks exactly like it- sold

Damn straight!

Funny side note for those saying it's a kiddy platform - holding onto all the beads in order to unlock the secret levels in each world drove my wife to her first game rage ever. It was the meta knight boss fight and she kept losing all her beads and said she wasn't going to bother finishing it.

But she came back, did it, and finished the game.

Yoshi's Epic Yarn = day 1 buy and has convinced me, among other Direct announcements, to get a Wii U this year.

[TheJollyCorner]

Little Big Yoshi!

[Parallacs]

Awesome! Looks amazing.

Love my WiiU so much.

[udivision]

No to be completely OT...
but the Stages in Smash 4 are going to be pretty amazing even just based on the games we're seeing today.

[Alex]

Kirby EY was lousy, so I hope this is mostly just a aesthetic and not the creation of a new series that focuses on boredom.

[SoulUnison]

Getting a LittleBigPlanet vibe from a couple of those screenshots.

[Uncle Rupee]

Now they need to replace Kirby's diamonds/gems with fruits

[orioto]

so wait



Why are they showing epic yard style gameplay and mock up in a different style.. I'm confused...

I just hope it's not a sign of Nintendo rehashing assets in every games now.

[VertPin]

Yay! New Yoshi game :3

[StreetsAhead]

so wait Why are they showing epic yard style gameplay and mock up in a different style.. I'm confused... I just hope it's not a sign of Nintendo rehashing assets in every games now.

Maybe there's 2D and 3D gameplay elements?
