Yoshi's Crafted World is an upcoming side-scrolling platform video game in development by Good-Feel and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. It was revealed at E3 2017, and is currently scheduled for a Spring 2019 release.[1][2][3]

Gameplay and synopsis

Yoshi's Crafted World allows the player to view the game from two opposite viewpoints, allowing the camera to "flip sides" to see behind objects. Here, the player collects coins inside of a house from the outside (top) and inside (bottom) perspective.

The game is a side-scrolling platformer where 3D characters are moved on a 2D plane. Unlike most side-scrolling games, though, Yoshi's Crafted World allows the player to view the game from two opposite viewpoints, allowing the camera to "flip sides" to see behind objects.[4] The viewpoint is changed when the player has the Yoshi character stomp on the ground.[5] Outside of this new mechanic, the game plays similar to prior Yoshi games, where the player may use Yoshi's tongue to eat enemies or other objects, turn them into eggs, and throw them outwardly into the level. The game will feature a two-player multiplayer mode, where each player maneuvers their own Yoshi through the game's levels.[3][6]

Development

The game was announced at E3 2017 and was scheduled for a 2018 release.[7] Footage of the game was shown during the Nintendo Treehouse Live event at E3 2017, where footage of the front and backsides of multiple levels were shown.[6] The reveal footage showed the game taking a cardboard cutout-type art style for the game's graphics, similar to how Yoshi's Woolly World was themed around characters and worlds made out of wool[8] and Kirby's Epic Yarn with its yarn-based themes.[9] The game is being built using Unreal Engine 4.[10] In June 2018, Nintendo confirmed that the game would be delayed and released in 2019.[1]
