A new game from the developers of the sublime Kirby's Epic Yarn is coming to Wii U, but this time it's not Kirby that's made of string -- it's Yoshi. 

The unnamed game -- which I'm calling Yoshi's Epic Yarn of course -- is a sidescroller in a patchwork land, very much like the Kirby Wii title. Only a brief bit of footage was shown, so hopefully more details come soon. 

Yep ... cannot say I'm not happy with this. Very excited!

So much for the rumored Yoshi's Island.

lol why choose this over yoshi's island 2, i will never understand. epic yawn indeed.



Makes sense, as more of a successor to Yoshi's Story.

Have to be careful with this one, just because Epic Yarn was indeed a little too easy.

More like a lot too easy.

Wario Land Shake It! was much better.

how do the graphics look when you play it though? does it look like the image in the OP or does it like like the images below

 

 

I hope it looks like these images instead of like the way Kirby looked in Kirby Epic Yarn

 

I actually had high hopes for that "Yoshi Land" rumor thinking it was going to be like a 3d Yoshi's Island but maybe this will still be good..

 

Edit: oh i didn't see the video before lol



A sidescroller! How innovative!



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

I posted the Nintendo Direct Video in the OP.  It only shows it for a second though




       

This is probably the only game during the ND I was not interested in (aside of Wii U party lol). Kirby's Epic Yarn either gets a lot of hate or a lot of love, so this will please some fans while anger some others.

I think this will probably be aimed more at kids/beginners just like Kirby's Epic Yarn was.

Nintendo already has NSMBU and the inevitable DKC U for more core platforming, and Kirby will probably go back to his regular style too.
