Yoshi's New Island

[Yoshidude1]

I think the game game looks fun, but the music is driving me crazy :-\

I retract my previous statements. This looks almost exactly like Yoshi's Island in terms of gameplay. I liked earlier Yoshi games, and it got me excited, but this just looks like a copy of the last one. I hope I am proven wrong, but this is just looking exactly like a copy.

This game looks really boring. :-\ Hopefully I'm wrong.

I agree.. There's not much new gameplay. Basically feels like just an graphic update to the original.

Nintendo wants to surprise people for when they get it.
But of course, it's the wrong idea.

Either that it is what we have seen...

Well, there was an IGN article of which I read earlier today stating that this game is just not suited for older fans. For new players, it may be worth it, but all us old fans will not enjoy it as much. Only get it if you really want to play a Yoshi game or you got money to burn.

Or, you can just wait for Yarn Yoshi for Wii U.

Make sense from what I have seen. I've really liked the Yoshi series, but do I want to buy another one with such similar features.

So you're saying it looks like a Yoshi game.

Maybe it's just nostgia but I really want this lol

 

[ttwashere]

I'll probably get it near release since I A) love platformers and B) feel like my 3ds has been neglected as of late.

Not 100% sure if this is real, but there seems to be a Yoshi's New Island 3DS XL bundle.

A retailer says this is also coming on the same day. Yoshi's New Island is pre-installed.

That actually looks pretty cool.
Too bad I already have a 3DS.

Site open! Full site will come soon!

Giant Metal Shy Guys in the game - eat to make Giant Metal Eggs that roll on the ground.
Also, Yoshi can "swim" with the egg.

Underwater Yoshi levels... seems weird (Not really - Yoshi could swim in Yoshi's Story and I've been playing it on my channel recently).

EDIT :
Found a trailer

The intro just ruined the whole purpose of Yoshi's Island...

...oh, and to be released March 14th.
I need to keep an eye for all details before posting.

I bet the game looks rad in 3D.

The Yoshi Special Edition Nintendo 3DS XL will be available in Europe. It does not come with Yoshi's New Island, though. The design is different than the one above. Nothing similar for North America or Japan.

EDIT: Also coming to Australia. Friday, March 15, 2014.

 

[Vipsoccermaster]

The bundle is confirmed for North America!

Launching on the same day as Yoshi's latest video game adventure, Yoshi's New Island, is a green Yoshi Edition Nintendo 3DS XL system that features an image of Yoshi on the front, as well as a series of cute Yoshi eggs on the back. The system will launch on March 14 at a suggested retail price of $199.99.

Yoshi's New Island is the next game in the charming Yoshi's Island series, and the first on Nintendo 3DS. In the beautiful side-scrolling platforming adventure, players take control of Yoshi as he carries Baby Mario and helps him reunite with his kidnapped brother. Along the way, Yoshi will throw eggs that he lays, including the massive Mega Eggdozers, and experience a variety of inventive transformations with unique controls.

Yoshi's New Island also features helpful items like the Flutter Wings, which let Yoshi fly through the air. This item is great for players who have trouble completing a level, and ensures that people of all ages and skill levels can enjoy the game. The Yoshi's New Island game launches separately on March 14 at a suggested retail price of $39.99.

Ill pick it up this weekend or next week.

 

[CRode]

I'll be ready to get it when released.

 

[Yoshidude1]

Wow, I completely forgot about this. I don't know if I'll get it though.

 

[SuperZambezi]

How far is everyone? I'm currently on 4-7. Everything before that is 100%.

The game is a lot better than I expected, but I also went in with really low expectations. Music was attrocias when I first started. It has gotten better as the game goes on.

 

[Vipsoccermaster]

I'm at like 2-5 right now, and just like you, 100% everything before.

Game is really enjoyable, even though the media seems mixed about it. Gameplay is fine as it is expected. Visuals are great, too, but for music, I'll have to agree. Most tracks were awful, few good ones, but that's kind of expected from Arzest.
