New Yoshi game coming to Wii U

New Yoshi game for Wii U

Nintendo has announced a new Yoshi game is being developed for the Wii U.  This will be the first Yoshi game Nintendo has released since Yoshi's Story in 1998.

The development team of Kirby's Epic Yarn (2010) is the team behind the new Yoshi game.  While I personally, think the game looks closer to a knock off of PlayStation 3's Little Big Planet than it does a variation of Kirby's Epic Yarn, only time will tell if it can compete against LBP and it's huge success. Not much more detail has been released other than these screenshots but you can expect it to be a side-scrolling adventure.

New Yoshi side-scrolling adventure, too close to Little Big Planet?

'Revolution' DLC Map Pack VidDoc

Coming Jan 29 2013 to XBOX360 for 1200 Microsoft Points/$14.99 USD or through the Season Pass.

Looks like a killer set of maps (4 multiplayer, 1 zombie), all unique and with interesting elements and in-game hazards.  Also, the first time ever is the release of a new weapon with DLC, a SMG that is a SMG/Assault Rifle hybrid called, The Peacekeeper. Zombie fans can enjoy a new zombie map and a new game mode, where you can play as the zombie.
