I think it was soon after showing Donkey Kong Crash Course, people read into everything.

Read? As in, like, read scanned objects?
Metroid Prime 4 by Retro confirmed.
How could I have been so blind. The answer has been in front of me the whole damn time

They did a pretty amazing job on that game, with one crucial fuckup in the change to the roll mechanics. It should be momentum based not fixed distance, goddamnit!
That said, if Nintendo wants a faithful modernisation of a beloved game, they could always go to Next-Level's A-team.
It really is amazing and wonderful that this 10 billion dollar consumer electronic giant appears to be run and operated by crazy people. And I love it.
?
Would buy.

I don't see a 3D Yoshi game working all that well. Or... I just don't want it. I just want a proper follow up to Yoshi's Island. :-|

That, and the latter stages have a nasty tendency towards "ha, got you!" level design.
Completly crazy talking here... maybe the fruits have been some kind of hint...?
Bill Trinen to be future President of NOA confirmed!
OP: I honestly feel it's a bit odd they'd just be staring at fruit, but then we have seen weirder things.
Bill Trinen to be future President of NOA confirmed!
If he pushes further to get third party support I'm all in for Bill to be president of NOA.
So let's recap, then:
1) Hnadhelds don't count because this is a console-only discussion.
2) First party titles don't count because Nintendo acquired them rather than developed it themselves.
3) First party games that get outsourced, such as Punch Out don't count because of the same reason as 2
4) I presume 3D titles like the Wii Series and Nintendoland don't count because they are "casual" games
5) Future projects , such as Pikmin 3, don't count because..?
6) Core franchises that focus on 3D adventure-esque genre like Mario and Zelda don't count because...?
7) Let's neglect Metroid and Animal Crossing while we are at it.
Like the hat?

Yeah, because Donkey Kong Country Returns was totally a FPS with dark fantasy stuff.
I know it seems like we are getting into tin foil hat territory, but I think the whole staring at fruit thing is meant to be hinting toward this game. The signs to me point to Retro, but if they are trying to build this much subtle hype, I have to assume this is going to be a 3D adventure game...maybe even featuring bigger, more exploration based worlds like Mario 64, sort of how Yoshi's Island took the Mario formula and made it more exploration based than ever before (or since).
The above description of the game could be completely wrong, but no doubt in my mind, some kind of Yoshi game is coming to Wii U, and it will be announced before Christmas. All my eggs are in the basket on that.

Really want to get excited, but the description doesn't really tell if it's a platformer/adventure game. The use of the word "epic" gives me hope, but who knows. That words gets missued so much these days.
Yeah, the rolling thing in DKCR was completely terrible. If it is Retro, than I really hope they don't have something needlessly awful to drag this game down as well.

There is no arguing metroid other m is a 3D game with fixed camera angles. No one argues resident evil is a 2D game. Also there were plenty of games released by Nintendo that are 3D adventures after starfox adventures. Wasn't it released in 2003?
I also believe the Wii fire emblem was 3D. Also wario world. Also pikmin 2. Also 3 metroid games. Also 2 new starfox games. Also 3 paper Mario games since 2004. Not counting nintendoland. The list goes on but I don't feel like listing them. Besides all of those don't count because of reasons.

I want Chibi-Robo Wii U, why was a new one not on Wii? Why did Captain Rainbow have to be too awesomely bizarre to not be localized?
God damn I really fucked that first post up in relation to the point I was actually trying to make.

If this ends up being untrue, then I'll blame you all.
This. I just don't feel Reggie anymore. And bill seems such a cool guy
My younger self's mind was pretty blown when it realized that Mario 64 (and thus, future 3D Mario games) did more than its fair share of citing from Yoshi's Island: the exploration aspect, hunting for red coins, time-based power-up/transformations...
Assuming this new game is the hands of a capable team like Retro, I'd certainly like to see what they could do with the YI-style. Be it in 2D or 3D.

I'm glad they left in the ability to jump after rolling in off an edge...one of my favorite gameplay mechanics in video-game history, always feel great pulling that off.
Eh. This definitely seems like a mechanic that would easier/more accurate if you were using a pointer to aim
If this is true, I can guarantee Good Feel has been working on this. I'd be really surprised if Nintendo didn't have those guys working on another beloved franchise. Wario Land: Shake It and Kirby's Epic Yarn were really fucking good platformers. It makes too much sense! Make it happen!

No surprise they arnt staring at an apple.
Or tapping a touch screen.
Who knows, I hope we get some announcements for 2013 titles soon.

How about Yoshi having a cameo appearance in the upcoming Jurassic Park 3D?

Yoshi would be the most powerful character in the game. He can destroy a tyrannosaurus rex in mere seconds!

Alright, so here's the thing Nintendo. No babies. Don't just try to copy your past works like you always do. Eggs, flutter jump, etc. are fine. Keep the mechanics of the best one, but just keep the babies out.

It'd be pretty difficult to do a 3D platformer while using the touch screen.

Well this excites me a bit, especially since I was bummed how I can't take Yoshi around with me in the Wii version. Time to give him the spotlight once again!
It depends on how the babies are used, in my opinion.
But honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing the lil Yoshi tykes from Yoshi's Story getting some more play. Either utilizing a perfected/refined version of the Yoshi Island-style mechanics or possibly doing something a bit different.

Baby Mario and/or Luigi should be in there somewhere. Under the circumstances that this is a 2D platformer, you better bet there will be multiplayer of some kind and that each Yoshi will have its own baby.

I always wondered why they were staring at fruit anyway. It seemed so random.

this show is not Breaking Bad why is it not Breaking Bad? it should be Breaking Bad dammit Breaking Bad
A game where Yoshi will have to reel-in the green, or face the mean Triads looking for their 'protection' money.

What about Yoshi teaming up...with Baby Yoshi?

I remember your thread about Yoshi's Island being your fav game during the Snes period. If it can recapture its essence, I don't see why not. But, the music has to be equally as sick.

If there are Baby Yoshis in there, they are most likely the baby Yoshis from Yoshis Story - which I would absolutely be fine with. I don't think there will be Baby Mario or Baby Luigi, at least not in the same role as in Yoshis Island, because I think then it would be called Yoshi's Island Wii U or something akin.

Yeah, that's the same hunch I have. Assuming the rumored title is the real title, which I hope not, cause it's terrible. :lol
