No one should be scared about the art style, just the quality of the game. I would have more faith if EAD4 was making it.
Even better, because the WiiU is a fat DS we will get a sequel to this:
Sounds good to me. I had more fun with Touch & Go than with YIDS.
As far as I'm aware, Future Shop doesn't add new games to their database based on rumors. IIRC, they have also (along with other Canadian retailers such as amazon.ca, and VGP) accidentally leaked information for unannounced games in the past.
I'm not saying this is 100% real, but I wouldn't be too quick to assume the guy who put up the pages was reading GAF or something like that.

Always preferred the games where you simply ride Yoshi, but that art style in HD would be absolutely superb. Correctly integrated gamepad controls for throwing eggs would be amazing too.

Fine with me. The core gameplay was really fun, it just had almost no content.

Then I'm glad that I've never played YIDS.
nooo... not that... We don't need bad games.
Maybe RE6: Razor's Edge?
Hoping my edit is it as well.
i'm pretty sure this would be lightning returns, no?

YIDS wasn't that bad, it was better than NSMB imho, the music was strange and I really liked it. Take YIDS like a "Mario Land"...

Soul Hackers is where the list all falls apart for me, personally.
That being on the Wii U makes negative sense.

So basically we "could" be seeing this as the 2013 line up for Wii U so far:
Pikmin 3
Wonderful 101
Rayman Legends
Bayonetta
Yoshi's Land Wii U
This is a very rough estimation, and it badly needs 3rd party multiplat support. But Honestly? Its shaping up to be quite solid if I do say so myself.

Wario Land and Epic Yarn were not traditional platformers. They were focused more on exploration.
I agree that something was missing from Wario Land. I liked the game but the design doesn't lend itself well to getting 100%. At some point you DO just get bored.
But Epic Yarn was a game that looked great and was actually really satisfying to get 100% in. Collecting everything and beating every level was a solid challenge. If you just played to beat the main game then I do believe you'd be bored to tears, but in my opinion the game shines when you go for full completion.
In any case, these games were designed to be a certain way. Kirby especially was still supposed to be a Kirby game that's playable for someone of any age, so it was designed to be easy (to the point of not being able to die), which made it boring at times for players who want to have more compelling gameplay objectives. That doesn't mean there couldn't exist a game that uses a similarly-inspired art style and is also more akin to Nintendo's deeper and more challenging platformers.
Good Feel's previous games weren't failed attempts at NSMB/DKCR-type platformers. They were going for something different. With the right direction, anything can be achieved.

I would be completely cool with a sequel to Yoshi's Island. I even enjoyed YIDS.
However if this were the equivalent of Mario Galaxy 3, just with Yoshi and his assorted gimmicks I think I'd jizz everywhere.

Nah It specifically said Final Fantasy 3. Plus this makes the most sense since square has been whoring out the FF3 ds remake recently. It just released on Ios, PSP, and will get an ouya release next year. Would make a good eshop title though IMO

Ehh I wouldn't buy it again. Outside the class system it's pretty much Generic RPG 101.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Watch it be real, and it be Retro's game.

Fixed it a little.
After DKCR I'd be happy to see Retro take this.
Wonderful 101 is a good start, but throw in another new IP or two and we have a stew.
As for the Yoshi Land news, my first reaction is HYPE, but then I remember these games:
Other than the first game, there has never been a Yoshi title better than "good". If we find out that rare or EAD is developing this one, then I'll board the hypetrain.

It's not like that's the only game they can make for the WiiU. DKCR was arguably their most popular, best-selling game, so more games in that vein can always be good.

If rare is developing a new nintendo game that's bigger news than it being a yoshi game i think

Nintendo is choke full of studios that can make excellent 2D sidescrollers. Retro is, to this date anyway, the only studio they have that has proved itself more than capable of putting out a truly "core" experience. I want more of those.

To capitalize on nostalgia, when they say Final Fantasy 3 they're referring to the American version of the SNES classic Final Fantasy 6.
There are plenty of old school gamers who still call it FF3.
it's FF3 DS
well lightning returns is also a final fantasy III. most of the titles in that list look like they'd be major releases, not mobile ports.
it really was a solid game if you were in the key audience. i don't see anything about that title that says they couldn't make a solid challenging 2D platformer. yoshi seems like an almost perfect fit for them now. they've even got the shape changing from yoshi's island down.

Devil Summoner Soul Hackers: Arena
I wouldn't mind at all. Retro did wonders for Samus and DK, so I can only imagine what they could do for Yoshi.

if it's the same art style in HD and not the shit 3D in NSMBU then it will be the best looking game of 2013

Will never understand this mindset.
It's likely not going to be their game but just like Donkey Kong Country Returns, it wouldn't be a waste to me.
I'd rather them do their own IP or another Metroid though.
Nintendo kind of has an abundance of really colorful platformers on the new system now and in the near future.
The only thing I can guess is that maybe they're bringing Miiverse to the 3DS. At the very least, i'm sure they've thought of it.
Soul Hackers is where the list gains currency for me! Feels too random to include unless it was actually happening, since no one cares enough about that game to list it.
I don't expect it to come on Wii U though, I was thinking this is just a mock up of general Nintendo announcements. Like, FF3 is something I also expect to go up on the 3DS Eshop.
I'm pretty sure they are busy developing Metroid x Star Fox.
VGAs showing Nintendo some love? That would be the day! Anyway, I'm not so sure if Retro wants to try its hand again at the platformer genre. The team did an excellent job with DK Country, but admitted it was more of a challenge than they thought it would be. Of course, they were the ones who initially asked Nintendo to give them the opportunity to do it.

That's the equivalent of a dirty word amongst Nintendo fans here.
