You don't remember the debug menu on Miiverse?

OK? This is an official reveal video from Nintendo, therefore it deserves a new thread.

[ElectricBlanketFire]

So this is Yoshi's Epic Yarn, right?

[Oneself]

As much as I like Epic Yarn's art style (and music), I believe it's been highly overrated.
It was easy, slow and kinda boring... and quite far from the standard Kirby platformers.
This game looks like some copy-paste of Epic Yarn with a sackboy Yoshi... and it looks quite disappointing to me.

[PumpkinPie]

Disappointed. Do not want an Epic Yarn reskin.

[LeleSocho]

Little big planet X Kirby epic yarn? Yeah sorry but i will take Yoshi's Story over this all days of my life.

[Zeer0id]

truth bomb: Epic Yarn is the best Kirby game

[thecouncil]

getting 100% on Epic Yarn was certainly NOT easy.

but it was also certainly not a great game.

hah.

[EmCeeGramr]

Man, I know Yoshi's Story disappointed a lot of people, but come on guys, Yoshi has been in a felt and crafts style game before

I could go for one more with yoshi, but hopefully they will change it up a bit or something.

truth bomb: Epic Yarn is the best Kirby game

Guess what?

I agree!

[The Wizard]

Adorable aesthetic but that didn't stop Kirby's Epic Yarn from being dreadfully boring.

[greycolumbus]

truth bomb: Epic Yarn is the best Kirby game

dems fighting words

EDIT: It does have the best music in a Kirby game though.

[eXistor]

Day one of course, but I can't shake the feeling like this is gonna be another "baby's first platformer" like Epic Yarn turned out to be. As lovely and creative as that game was, a literal lack of challenge made it pretty boring for the most part.

[Sandfox]

I'm kinda surprised that people are writing this game off with so little info.

[JaseC]

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

Haha, no need to get so offended. As for the bold, "babby's first ___" is, in part, a reference to this meme.

[Akainu]

Yoshi's story is charming!

If by charming you mean crap then yes.

[Tron#1]

Wow, that looks amazing!

That gameplay look like it was made on Wii. It look totally different from the screenshots. I'm saying that pre alpha gameplay made on Wii.

[Harlock]

So good if Nintendo allow user created levels. We can always dream.

[DMPrince]

yes to new yoshi. no to this style D:

[Neiteio]

Yoshi's Yarn. ("Yarn" being a word for "Story.")

[Nabs]

I figured this would happen. Oh wells.

I liked Epic Yarn, but Yoshi deserves better.

[HaRyu]

This is Nintendo's attempt at creating a new game series.

I for one, would kill for a Metroid Epic Yarn.

[JaseC]

This is Nintendo's attempt at creating a new game series. I for one, would kill for a Metroid Epic Yarn.

At this point it's certainly the closest we're likely to get to another classic Metroid game. :(

[Kazuma Kiryu]

oh boy, yoshi epic yarn? pass.

[King of the Potato People]

Kirby's Epic Yarn was fun but not in the same caliber as the original Yoshi's Island, I'm lukewarm.

[The Boat]

I think Yoshi (and the levels) progress from epic yarn style to the 3D look. This is especially obvious when Yoshi swallows the power up that turns him from yarn strings to plushie.
I would've prefered a hand drawn style, but this looks fantastic as well.

[xyla]

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.

I think the world is evolving around Yoshi. In the video snipped we see, he is eating an enemy and getting into his full yarn form. I think that's the first level with visuals we know and then we will somehow get dropped into the more gorgeous screens.

Edit: Yeah, what The Boat said.

[JaseC]

Yeah, I'm somewhat disappointed that this isn't essentially the Wii U's Yoshi's Island.

[HaRyu]

At this point it's certainly the closest we're likely to get to another classic Metroid game. :(

Or they could even take it a step further, license out the graphics engine to 3rd parties, because we probably have a better chance at getting Megaman Epic Yarn before we ever get another Megaman game.

Hell, Call of Duty Epic Yarn, Resident Evil Epic Yarn, Kingdom Hearts Epic Yarn... I'm gonna stop now because I know damn well if I talk about this joke long enough, some game dev will probably do it. (If you're a game dev, an "epic yarn' graphics filter would be great though!)

[Easy_D]

Really disappointed with thid :\. Wanted Yoshi's Island, not Yoshi's Story redux.

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Megaman Epic Yarn

I'll take 10.

[Save 'N Quit]

I really want to be excited by this but I'm not.

Game does look beautiful, but it won't matter if they don't even make it challenging.

That was the problem Kirby had, which ended up boring to playthrough.

[EmCeeGramr]

I'm kind of confused why everyone thinks that the Yoshi game will have the same gameplay as a Kirby game, which is literally a series made for children with an easy button.

[illadelph]

Yeah, I'm somewhat disappointed that this isn't essentially the Wii U's Yoshi's Island.

Yeah, I wanted a sequel to the SNES game but this looks like someone unlocked a playable Yoshi in Epic Yarn

[Nekki]

Yoshi Wii U announced on Nintendo Direct! HOLY CRAP! Screens:

This image sold me.

[JazzmanZ]

Oh my god.

Yes! I called this last night to a friend, Yoshi Island by Good Feel!

This just made my day :)

[Electivirus]

Oh my gosh, yes. I absolutely adored Kirby's Epic Yarn and seeing a brand new Yoshi game in that style fucking floored me. Day 1, absolutely.

[PhoReal]

Not a fan of the yarn stuff.

[Resilient]

Hng, so the Miiverse Master list was true..excellent. I don't see this game being particularly challenging, but here's hoping.

[Mr E.]

Epic yarn with added difficulty would be fantastic. Loved the art style.

[chubigans]

Massively disappointed in this. A total retread with that visual style (out of ideas already?) and once again a babby game coming far below the almighty Yoshi's Island. I will just have to dream of a full budget 3d Yoshi game I guess.

Seriously, we'll never get an epic masterpiece like YI. Instead Yoshi gets all the crumbs.

Yoshi's Island was one of the best games ever made, why oh WHY hasn't Nintendo revisited that world? I can't imagine what that would look like today. It would be amazing.

Ugh.

[Mik_Pad]

Looks amazing!! Is this in 3D or 2D?

[EloquentM]

I've been saying it for months. I told you all and no one believeeeed. YOSHI LAND.

[Kouriozan]

I will need to see a gameplay video but...
Finally a new Yoshi game! About time!

[Morts]

Any hint at a release timeframe?

[Neiteio]

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

Really, this is the only concern.

[EatinOlives]

I'm kinda surprised that people are writing this game off with so little info.

Eh, same could be said of the "omg day 1" people just by looking at a screenshot.

[Zeldana]

I adored Epic Yarn so I'm really looking forward to this. The original was all about exploration and savoring the moment (hoarding, too, I guess), and if the soundtrack reflects Epic Yarn's in any way it'll be a Day 1 purchase with no regrets.

Perhaps Nintendo intends for us to save our tough-as-nails platforming expectations for the new 3D Mario.

[Takuya]

Little Yoshi Planet?

[Ein Bear]

Not really feeling the art style. It worked great for Kirby, but it's a travesty that they aren't revisiting the Yoshi's Island look.
