New Yoshi's Island announced for 3DS!

Did Nintendo forget how to make good looking games? Looks worse than the original, and the use of those obnoxious sound effects from Yoshi's Story and beyond is a boneheaded move.

^^^I don't know, the Yoshi's Island style doesn't have colors being vibrant.


All they did is ditch the black outlines. Personally, I don't mind it at all.

You have looked at Mario and Luigi: Dream Team, right?

...why are people judging it based on a YouTube video? Even the game videos in the eShop for games on 3DS have terrible compression artifacts.

It was probably mentioned already, but what's with the desaturated colours? Is it because of the video stream, or does the game actually look like that?

I dunno. The other games have a sort of pastel-like palette. This just looks desaturated...

No mention because this was a 3DS ND and the Yarn game is Wii U.

Fair point, I'd forgotten that. That said, an acknowledgment of the relationship between the titles wouldn't have gone amiss; something along the lines of "Last time around... and now, on 3DS, we bring you..."

Art resembles the original's cutscenes.

This is the one game in today's ND that didn't grab me.
I am a huge fan of the first game and I can't put my finger on it but something about the look of this one seems off.

Hope they can address it before release.

Looks beautiful. That said the DS one really burned me. I'll have my doubts about this one for sure.
 
These high-quality GIFs make it look much better. It's definitely not as attractive as the original game, but I like it more than the style for Yoshi's Story. Could be good!

Low-quality GIFs suck, so I made this.

More on the way.

Doesn't look half bad.

But it all comes down to the level design. The level-destroying giant egg looks cool but reminds me of NSMB's stupid Mega Mushroom. Being compared to NSMB out of the gate is not a good thing for this game.

Super Nintendo was way ahead of it's time in terms of the games man. Best console ever. The 3ds Yoshi's island looks good though

Nice gifs whitehawk

I'm the least person to complain about Artstyles, but I will admit that this takes all the charm of the original. It was the crayon artstyle that made the orginal game.

I think the graphics look perfect and fit the series in the best way that they could. I have no idea how you guys don't like them.
