Sweet, it looks like the new Yoshi GBA game will be a platformer using Wario Ware 2-style motion sensor controls. Pretty damn cool, huh? It looks a lot like Yoshi's Story but is obviously not the same game.

Oh and I must give props to Nintendojo for reporting that Yoshi GBA platformer rumor last year. Good call, guys.

That game at the bottom looks really weird...


Yoshi's Universal Gravitation revealed! And some more WW2 screens. - OB1 - 9th September 2004

Yeah... Nintendo is weird. Awesome weird.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Did you read about that Giftpia director saying that he lied about making a DS game? That was hilarious!

"Uh... syke!"

Haha, no I didn't hear about that. :D


Yoshi's Universal Gravitation revealed! And some more WW2 screens. - OB1 - 9th September 2004

He didn't say syke, but he did say that he lied about it.

He's so awesome.

Here is the first update from September 3rd where he says that he's working on DS software:

Quote:Game developer Skip Ltd., best known as the maker of the Nintendo GameCube title Giftpia, is developing an unnamed game for the Nintendo DS. "We're developing a title for the NDS,” comments Skip director Kenichi Nishi in the September 3 entry of his weblog. “I'm working 12 hours a day, but the staff are putting in even more effort. This place is starting to look like a field hospital...we have a deadline on Monday, so we're going to blast through the nights."

Hahaha, and then here's the news article where he says that he lied about the whole thing:

Quote:Skip director "lied" about DS development


Giftpia creator takes back public statements about DS game in the works.

TOKYO--Last week, game developer and Skip Ltd. director Kenichi Nishi confirmed in his weblog that the company was developing a game for the Nintendo DS. The director has since then has taken back his statement, noting that he can't divulge any information about his current projects.

"Sorry. It was all a lie," comments Nishi in an update to the original September 3 entry of his weblog. "I can't really talk about what I'm doing because of my legal obligation to keep secrets... I’m sorry for causing all the trouble."

Nishi and Skip are best known for the Nintendo GameCube title Giftpia.

Hahaha, that's fucking hilarious. It's pretty obvious that he's just covering up for announcing something too soon, but it's still damn funny. Lol

Weird indeed... Wario Ware 2, some bizarre game on the bottom part, and a Yoshi tilt-sensor platformer? That could be pretty cool... a bongo sidescroller for the GC and a tilt one for GBA? Nintendo is trying to mix up that oldest of Nintendo genres, I see. Good for them!


Yoshi's Universal Gravitation revealed! And some more WW2 screens. - OB1 - 13th September 2004

Indeed.


Yoshi's Universal Gravitation revealed! And some more WW2 screens. - Great Rumbler - 13th September 2004

It's about time platformers got an injection of innovation.


Yoshi's Universal Gravitation revealed! And some more WW2 screens. - OB1 - 13th September 2004

I concur.


Yoshi's Universal Gravitation revealed! And some more WW2 screens. - A Black Falcon - 13th September 2004

Yeah. They work fine in their classic form, but innovation is great too... some games of each kind is best, probably, and that's what Nintendo is doing. :)
