The first home console Yoshi game in 16 years is in a world of textiles.

A new 2D Yoshi platformer from Good-Feel, the studio behind Wario Land: Shake It and Kirby's Epic Yarn, was announced for Wii U at the most recent Nintendo Direct presentation.
This new game, referred to in press material as "Yarn Yoshi," is based around an arts and crafts aesthetic similar to the Nintendo 64 title Yoshi's Story, the last home console title to star the iconic green dinosaur. Stage environments consist of various textiles, while Yoshi and enemies, such as the Shy Guys, are made of yarn.
It has also been confirmed that Takashi Tezuka, who directed both Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Story, is heavily involved in the game's development as a supervisor.
Neal's going to give this game a 10 and everyone's going to mock him for it for years.
Have to say, I'm pretty dang excited for this.
Looks good but, you know, that yarn look isn't so creative if it's used all the time. People loved Kirby's Epic Yarn's look because it was unique and different, not so much because it was specifically yarn based. I fear that they're turning a once original idea into a tired cliche.
