Yoshi’s New Island Hops Onto 3DS With 2014 Release

While Yoshi’s New Island still doesn’t have a firm release date, it is slated for a 3DS launch in spring 2014.

Yoshi’s New Island, the sequel to Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island, will hit the Nintendo 3DS next Spring, Nintendo Satoru Iwata announced during this morning’s Nintendo Direct event.

Yoshi’s Island creative director Takashi Tezuka is also taking the lead on Yoshi’s New Island, which explains how the new team seems to mirror the original’s unique aesthetic so well.

We called Yoshi’s New Island a “worthy successor” to the quirky Mario side-story. Check out our E3 preview to find out why.
