I'm pretty burned out on 2D platformers in general, but Yoshi looks much nicer graphically (though his whine when he's throwing eggs is obnoxiously repetitive), like Woolly World but with paper craft. Kirby, on the other hand, barely looks HD to me. And they already announced (yet another) action/platformer Kirby game for 3DS for this holiday, which is like the 3rd one in the last 3 or so years (not to mention probably the 3rd one in a line of games that look EXACTLY like Return to Dreamland on Wii), so despite Woolly World on Wii U/3DS, Kirby's definitely been the one getting milked the most. I wish they'd be more creative with Kirby again.

Honestly, I wish they'd just release "Nintendo Maker" which would let you design your own Kirby, Yoshi, Mario, and Donkey Kong Country levels and be done with these overpriced, individual 2D platformers that just feel so lazy in comparison to games like BotW and Mario Odyssey. At least Mario Maker gives you different styles and constant new content from others, and has an online component. Nintendo's 2D platformer series are woefully stuck in the past with no creative options built in, nor any kind of online play or co-op generally. If Yoshi or Kirby were to have online co-op, I'd be more interested.
