I've never been big into Nintendo games but this looks pretty great. I'd consider picking up a Wii U for this game. Also, I want one of those Yoshi plushies they were playing around with.

You mean worthy successor to Yoshi's Story.Love the graphical style. Really hoping this is a worthy successor to Yoshi's Island after the underwhelming last game
This game looks the BEE'S KNEES, people. I was really worried it had been cancelled, so glad it hasn't. Shame we've got to wait until next year for it though.
No way if it'll have shit music. Kirby's Epic Yarn's OST is too good.

Good Feel's level design was pretty strong in Warioland and Kirby, so I'm confident they will do well with Yoshi too.
Assuming Good Feel is still working with Tomoya Tomita, the music will be incredible.

Kirby's Epic Yarn Announcement trailer
The music in the first Epic Yarn Trailer wasn't that great either. (better than Woolly World but nothing compared to the actual soundtrack)

I'm kinda ambivalent towards Yoshi's Island these days but I did enjoy Epic Yarn as a laidback platformer, actually I found it to be akin to a Yoshi game itself what with the lassoing being slightly similar to how Yoshi's tongue could be used, enemies made into projectiles, transformations and a focus on collecting things.
The key here for me is that Kirby managed to make collecting tons of trinkets more enjoyable by having everything count and more open criteria for the top rank (in this case gold medals to YI 100/100 score) so it's not like missing 1 red coin made things feel like a failed run.
So with that in mind I'm thinking this could end up my favourite Yoshi game if things go well.
Also Epic Yarn's soundtrack was pleasingly pleasant, here's hoping for more of that and a YI Athletic/Obstacle Course remix.

i'd love to be wrong since it's been so long since SNES YI and i really want to see a pretty good Yoshi game again (YIDS was decent but the music was really bad in it)

The feel and gameplay, even level design, in Kirby's Epic Yarn are superb IMO. Good Feel's Wario game was great too. Good Feel = good shit.
The only issue with Kirby is it was tuned to be easy even by Kirby standards.
People should not judge this game in any way shape or form by the developers involved with YIS and YNI.

Looks so much better than the 3DS game.
And much better than if it were just yarn outlines.
Looks awesome. Hopefully it's fleshed out and not just a quickie like Yoshi's Story was. (Though I loved that game. Especially the music.)

As long a the game isn't mind numbingly easy like Kirby's Epic Yarn I'm in. Such a beautiful game ruined because is was such devoid of any challenge.

The people saying this will have shit music... this game has nothing to do with Yoshi's New Island and it's made by completely different people. This is more of a sequel to Kirby's Epic Yarn and that game had an amazing soundtrack.

Game looks great so far. Definitely a highlight from Nintendo's (very short) presentation.

The thing here is, this is most likely going to be a completely different story to Kirby's Epic Yawn. The mechanics were thought from the ground up to fit they style of a Yoshi's Island game. Another point to mention: I've come to terms with the fact that we won't see another game that comes close to the level of polish of the very first YI, probably ever again.
That being said, this game looks beautiful, and since I won't be judging it as a sequel or prequel to the original SNES installment, I'll just focus on the fun factor it delivers.

Epic Yarn OST was freaking amazing.
I'm gonna hold out hope that you're wrong.

I also hope to be proven wrong down the road. I will be one of the first guys jumping out of joy if there's a game that surpases the first one. I'll stop waiting for that to happen and maybe, sometime, the true YI killer will see the light of day.

Game looked great(was very cute ). I loveeeeed the developer story with it in the yarn store. Always Nintendo. Nobody else seems to take the time to go behind the concept of a game quite the way they do...

This basically looked like Yoshi's Island meets Kirby's Epic Yarn. It's a gorgeous and adorable game that puts the focus on relaxed, exploration-based platforming.
Can't say there's anything wrong with that. Epic Yarn was really fun if you understood the kind of game it was. Not a challenging platformer, just a cute, enjoyable experience.
Also, having the developers talk about it was the best way to present. Really seemed like a passion project.

I didn't expect to like this. Haven't really liked a Yoshi game since the original Yoshi's Island, so when screenshots appeared of this game last year, I was already writing it off. The direct got me back on board though. The game oozes with style and seems a lot more relaxed in nature than most Yoshi games thanks to the lack of babbis. The comparison is obvious, but I can't help but think of Epic Yarn, which I really enjoyed.
Touche.
E3 page for this game states the game releases in the first half of 2015!

You should be basing your expectations on Kirby's Epic Yarn's soundtrack, not Yoshi's New Island.
Epic Yarn had a fantastic and fitting soundtrack. I'm sure Woolly World will have something similar.
Good Feel has a good track record.
