Thanks, Aeolus
Three words i never thought id hear: Thank you Aeolus. Kidding aside this is ok news I guess, doesn’t seem like a great game but nonetheless having a Nintendo 1st party game is always pretty nice. Any news on release date?
“doesn’t seem like a great game”
Huh?
While this game could possibly exist, there is nothing in the game description that is specific about gameplay or story, a.k.a. it is rather vague. Those companies are more than likely just trying to get a jump on pre-orders just in case the game does in fact exist. To them, it’s all about profit. Doesn’t matter to them if the game doesn’t exist, they just give the money back to the customer or give them in-store credit. Having said all that… An interesting thought might be is this the game Retro is working on? Chances are around 14%
It was shown in the Miiverse as having a community that just hasnt been activated yet. Nintendo obviously has a Yoshi Game in the works.
Yoshis Island is one of the best games ever made….. im not counting Yoshi Story for N64
Damn hackers. I love you for this information yet despise you for being so low to hack.
It wasn’t a “hack”. It was a security exploit that he stumbled upon and even though the user could’ve done everything from deleting admins to changing passwords, he didn’t.
He didn’t even do that. It was a dummy console, like “Miiverse Admin Simulator.”
You’re right, it was sandboxed.
Cool
YESSSSSS! YESSSSSSSSS!

its a game?
No it’s a new console.
Neat answer.
*planet
*Dik
No, it’s Aeolus’ middle name. duh
The descriptions don’t exactly burn with excitement. So much emphasis on ‘HD’. I love Yoshi, but am gonna wait to see how this pans out.
Don’t worry. Its probably a placeholder description until Nintendo comes out with a formal announcement.
OOOOOOOOOOUUU, will probably not buy, but interesting.
Really? Sweet! Can’t wait to find out more about this game.
”Thanks Aeolus”
Lolololololol.
OT: I’m still a bit sceptical about this, but if true: YES! FUCK YES! Thanks.
Why, the Wii U has all that power and we get another side scroller?! And people will buy this up just like Mario U.
Who said it was a side scroller? It said that it was controlled by “Dual-analog” sticks, so I’m guessing that we might finally see a 3D Yoshi game. Now that would be cool
Imagine the detail of the graphics though! Smashing!
Is it was like Yoshi’s Island, with the crayon visual, theyd look insane, it would be like the next Okami
What’s wrong with sidescrollers? Look at the recent rayman games , they look fantastic.
Might be like the 3D Mario games but with Yoshi. Or might be more like Yoshi’s Story from N64 days.
Was it 7th December we would get news about it?
I think they said new Wii U game announcements would come on December 10th. Also, Reggie said more surprises would come in the Wii U launch window.
Aeolus is the biggest nintendo fan ever
…Or is he?
*Metroid Zero Mission Unknown Item Music*
Nice touch.
IKR
Sounds great! I loved Yoshi’s Island so with touch controls and those gorgeous pencil graphics in HD will be fantastic! Can’t wait, literally, I can barely wait!
Make it like Yoshi’s Island and I will love you forever Nintendo. That is probably my favorite Mario game of all time.
Yoshi’s Land? Sounds fake and pathetic. Leave to Aeolus to spam meaningless news.
You’ll regret saying that later, dude.

Aeolus shares something that isn’t negative? I…. I…. spacetime is collapsing as we speak….
watch as it became false and he saids “nintendo fool you” or something like that.
I am going to add this story to the earlier one about an old school revival and run with it.
Possible, Yoshi’s Island is a very good game
That description gets very repetitive, but I am excited to hear about any future first party games. The only one I have now (and plan to only have in the near future) is Nintendo Land.
Aw you should have taken advantage of those really good black friday deals in order to get NSMBU. Not sure if it’s worth $60, but its a great game if you can get it at a lower price.
I wouldn’t take that game even if it was free. Well, I would, but I would trade it in to GameStop to get a discount on Aliens: Colonial Marines or something.
Hate flows deep with you,yes?
I’m sure,Mikey doesn’t hate on Nintendo,but he does sound…like Aeolus?Seriously Mike,do you even know the gameplay?
Yes I do, and so does anyone else whose played a NSMB game (any of them).
speaking about gameplay,it really needs smb2 core gameplay,that probably would convince you to buy that game,trust me,search SMBX.
Please make it like Yoshi’s Island!!!!! (Favorite game of all time)
.___. Show it?
Reggie did say recently , we hadn’t seen all of the launch window. SO maybe there is a couple of more games to come.
Always had a soft spot for the Yoshi titles, mainly because they were some of the few games I could play with my little sister back in the day.
sweet!
Maybe it’s the old school announcement that’ll be shown at the VGA’s? For now I’ll say that I’ll believe it when I see it.
Yoshi Land? Hmm I hope it’s a 3D game. Not that side-scrollers are bad but I think we’ve had enough Nintendo sides-scrollers to last a while. If they can pull it off right I think a new 3D Yoshi game could be realllly good!
i just remembered that during the beta versions of wara wara plaza it had a yoshi egg icon app that represents game. anyone have screenshots of that?
I remember that. I thought It might be something like a specific game in nintendo land being shown. That doesnt make sense. That was definately there thought. Smart thinking.

look at 3:56
sorry bad link
doest work sorry… search miverse e3 2012 and you will find it
This would be a great game to introduce these younguns to Yoshi’s Island. The orginal was pretty cool and unique game. I need to see some gameplay footage for it. Is it a digital or retail game? If it was retail and being released before Christmas, I would think Nintendo would’ve made announcement by now. Leave luck to heaven.
DO MY EYES DECEIVE ME?DID AEOLUS CONTRIBUTE?
Guys this is a different Aeolus,I always remember that icon of his.
Must be one of those Aeolus’s that aren’t being paid to be trolls. That aside.. I want a demo to test the game out myself
Wow Aeolus keeps up with Nintendo news “what a surprise”.
The only Nintendo hater who seems more interested in Nintendo that any of its fans.
*than
If it’s a 3D game or anything remotely related to SMW2: YI, then I’m sold already :P
neat
I hope it is 3D. I don’t mind a 2D game, but a 3D game would be far better on the Wii U. Yoshi is one of my favorite Mario character.
Very interesting!
:D
The possibilities are just uncountable… I wanna throw Yoshi eggs with the gamepad! Now I’m curious:what’s the story? Will Yoshi carry more babies on his back? FOR THE GODDESSES OF HYRULE PLEASE TELL US NINTENDO!! *
We all know if its anything like Yoshi’s Island, its going to be the 2nd best Wii U game.
Especially if its in 3D.
Yoshi’s Land just sounds awesome.
Hahahaha, this game might not even exist? Nintendo stated that they used things like “Yoshi Land” as a place holder whilst testing Miiverse. The description those companies gave is so vague, it’s not even funny. They just want your money, THEY don’t even know if the game exists or not. I’m not ruling out the possibility of a Yoshi Game being on the Wii U, but I’d take this with a grain of salt. Or maybe a bag.
I wonder if Yoshi land and Donkey Kong are in the works as in the miiverse video they were both in there? Could be a hint like the before launch 3ds videos with Mario kart &starfox
It’s coming, it correlates with the Miiverse leak (which means some of the other games listed there exist) and it’s the first (first-party game) other than Super mario, Pikmin and SSB revealed, and since Retro was meant to reveal their game at E3, they’re the best at capturing the retro feel, then this looks like that game.
YES
can we take a moment hjvbekcugjevbkubasevukd,yvwkeurbckhuvsefukhbaf OMG I CANT! i just want it now… but first i must buy a WiiU LOLz…. :(
I doubt the REAL Aeolus sent this, it was probably someone who just trolls at him but, nonetheless, good news.
Do you also speak English?
Start talking sense or i will cockslap you in the face.
…what? Aeolus is a well known Nintendo hater and troll who loves to waste his life away on Nintendo sites, talking about the Sony master-race and bashing Nintendo
Another Yoshi game? Its about time! I wonder when nintendo is making another Star Fox game?
It comes out when shadows of lylat comes out……never.
