sourceDuring today’s Nintendo Direct, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata announced a new Yoshi’s Island game for 3DS.
A new Yoshi's Island game has been long-rumoured - the last game in the series came out way back in 2006 on the original DS, The new Yoshi's island carries on the series' core gameplay mechanics - we saw the flutter jump, ground pound and egg-throwing, alongside some new 3DS gyroscope features.
Visually, the graphics are a real SNES throwback: gorgeous and retro. It's closer to the original Yoshi’s Island than the N64's Yoshi's Story, with beautiful impressionist backgrounds.
No release date was mentioned, but Iwata promised more details soon.
I'm sure we'll here more at E3.
