Arzest feels new Artoon.

ARTOON SUCKS. This company has ruined two of Yoshi games. Yoshi's Island DS has bad music, bad control and bad designs.

I hope music isn't change again. I want remix.

No, Artoon is defunct. However, Arzest is making Yoshi's New Island, and Arzest has people who previously worked for Artoon (they formed Arzest).

I didn't think Yoshi's Island DS was bad but then again I don't hold Yoshi's Island to be that great of a game. Not deserving of the Super Mario World name. I'd probably like that game a lot better if it wasn't called Super Mario World 2.
 
Update: Game now has a release date for North America only! Instead of Spring 2014, it's coming late Winter, on Friday, March 14, 2014!

Press Release said:
Nintendo has great Nintendo 3DS games planned for early 2014 to keep the momentum going. Yoshi's New Island launches March 14 in stores and in the Nintendo eShop. The game is being produced by Takashi Tezuka, the creative director of the original Yoshi's Island for Super NES. Yoshi reunites with Baby Mario in a gorgeous landscape to help him to safety. Flutter jumps, ground pounds and egg throws all return, along with some new actions that use the unique features of Nintendo 3DS.

When I first saw that there was news for a new Yoshi's Island game, I was kinda underwhelmed. The game doesn't seem like it introduce much that's new (unless I missed something)...If there's good level design, I might get it, but as of now, I have higher priorities on my to-get list.
There is one thing that interests me about the Press Release though...."some new actions that use the unique features of Nintendo 3DS." This is a little light of hope for the game; maybe there will be new abilities to add innovation to the game?
 
Here's the tentative box-art:

I think it looks nice. The Nintendo Network logo raises suspicions, though. Might be the standard Miiverse functionality or possibly more than that.
 
Pretty sure the pretty much slap that Nintendo Network logo on most of their boxes now.

EDIT: Looked at all my boxes and seems that I'm wrong, since not all of them had it. :p



My guess is that it's probably for Miiverse, or leaderboards. I doubt that there is online play in this game. Can they even integrate Miiverse into 3DS games like they do for Wii U games?

I'm not sure. Probably not, in a sense that for Wii U games, you see all the posts pop up on your screen at times, but 3DS doesn't do that, so. So probably not actually integrated, but still can (manually) and post content. Content probably will not show up mid-game. So I think there may be something that's not just Miiverse capability. We probably have to wait and see. I don't think any major 3DS games have been released other than Kirby's Triple Deluxe for Japan since the Miiverse update for 3DS back in December 2013.
 
Update: Lots of new information, screens, and a new trailer released!
