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?

During the E3 press conference today, Nintendo announced the New Super Mario Bros. U, which will obviously release with the Wii U console.  The game will continue with it's side scrolling four-player co-op gameplay, as with previous New Super Mario Bros. titles.

One of the interesting new features relating to the new tablet style controller, is that one player can pick up the Wii Gamepad and make changes to the level during gameplay.  In 'Boost Mode', the player using the Gamepad will place blocks that will help characters speed along the level.

You can expect more Mario classic greatness to come along with the game, such as the new wing suit, ability to blow bubbles, and more.
