For the love of science just get the music right.

I suspect this isn't the true sequel to Yoshi's Island I'm always hoping for.
For whatever reason they seem to not want to admit that they did this with Kirby already. Kirby's Epic Yarn already did what you suggested.

Most of the core gameplay dynamics seem lifted from Yoshi's Island. This looks great.

My nephews will love this. They're obsessed with yoshis island.

Nice of them to finally remember this bloody game, though it sucks that it's 2015. Kind of hard to get hype for it when it got announced so early.

Everything just looked so cute.
Even when that one Yoshi ate the other one.

Same. I'm looking forward to this game.
So... one of my favourite games of all time in Yoshi's Island (SNES) meets another of my favourite games Kirby's Epic Yarn (Wii) and it's developed by the people who made the latter. Then the trailer proceeds to deliver on all counts.
I don't even need to play it to give it 10/10. It can't be anything else. GOTY 2015, here we come.

Yoshi's Island isn't kid oriented now?

The only thing I don't get is why he's collecting gems from the Kirby Epic Yarn instead of delicious fruits.
Epic Yarn had some pretty difficult optional challenges believe it or not and GoodFeel's work on Wario Land Shake It shows they can do masterful level design. I have way more faith in this than the Yoshi's New Island on 3DS, that's for sure.

I meant actually targeting younger, lesser skilled players. I think the majority of Nintendo's games are for actual gamers while most of the darker themed stuff from other devs is so mechanically shallow it shouldn't appeal to adult gamers- I don't give a shit about aesthetic in that regard. But I think that things like Epic Yarn are explicitly for new gamers, in how ridiculously simple and easy they are.
Yoshi's Island was a legitimately challenging platformer for its time.

Or, you know, additional controller.

This looks like everything I wanted from Yoshi's New Island and more.

I wonder if this will be like the Wind Waker art style they use every once in a while to shake things up. That's what it reminds me of, anyway.
Love the art style. More Epic Yarn-like visuals are a good thing.

Looks stunning.
And the clouds are made out of cotton wool? So good.

I was pretty much smiling the entire time this was on stream. Looks absolutely incredible to me (especially since I really liked Kirby's Epic Yarn and this looks like a fusion of that with Yoshi's Island, which looks like it works excellently). Can't wait~

Yoshi's Story from 1997.
From controller design to rumble features to motion controls to touchscreen controllers, dat inspiration has always been a one way street.

Diiig the art style, but this franchise has taught me to be skeptical about music and level design now :\

I'm worried about it being a bit of a baby game. I do enjoy challenge, and making it crushingly difficult to collect every last thing and finish the level perfectly, a la New Yoshi's Island, while simply playing the entire game is a piece of cake is not good difficulty design.
My girlfriend is a Yoshi fanatic though, so we'll get it regardless. I love that art anyway, and the two player mode sells it.

Oh, it's by Good-Feel.
Purchase. Loved Kirby, even if it was "too easy", but it was a nice, relaxing game that I found extremely fun and amazing.
Then you're putting Yoshi's Island basically on top of it?
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

Oh, oops, I didn't catch that game. I can see how they would want to avoid using "yarn" again.

I loved this in the DE. I can't wait. The original footage we saw was clearly super early prototypes and concepts. Not even in the same league as this in retrospect.

Dunno why everyone thinks the music is gonna suck. The soundtrack from Kirby's epic yarn was incredible.
Music they played over the footage wasn't very encouraging.
But, yeah, the Epic Yarn soundtrack was awesome.
