Next to the new Kirby game this one has to be my favourite. I LOVED 'Yoshi's Woolly World' and this game appears to be a sequel to that with less yarn. Posted Image

This beautiful and creative Yoshi game is a pure platformer for Nintendo Switch. check out the trailer here...
While not the most high-profile reveal of Nintendo's E3 2017 showcase, this trailer for an upcoming Nintendo Switch Yoshi game was certainly one of the most interesting previews of the show.
Much like Kirby, this Yoshi game is simply being referred to as Yoshi. However, it should get a full title ahead of its 2018 release date.
The game itself is based on a fairly fascinating gimmick involving the depth of stages. Basically, Yoshi is able to move in-between and interact with background and foreground elements that would usually be considered static in many such platforming titles. There are numerous instances of this mechanic being utilized during the trailer, but some of the most fascinating examples of this dynamic mechanic involved Yoshi attacking enemies in the foreground and flipping a stage at will to reveal brand new paths that simply looked like background objects before.
It certainly doesn't hurt that the game's vibrant art style contributes to the storybook nature of the level design and the use of this flip mechanic. The Switch may not be a technical powerhouse, but games like this showcase why a bright color palette and creative design will sometimes best pure processing power.
Indeed, Yoshi may very well be the game for Switch fans who still harbor a deep love for classic platformers. While Super Mario Odyssey promotes a more open-world take on the platformer genre, Yoshi looks like the kind of classic platforming experience that we might have dreamed of as kids if we could dream quite as big as game's clearly imaginative development team.
Hopefully, Nintendo decides to release a little more information about this game ahead of Yoshi's 2018 release date because it certainly looks like a title worth being excited about.
