Yarn Yoshi: The team that created Kirby's Epic Yarn is hard at work on the first console game to feature Yoshi as the main character since 1998's Yoshi's Story for Nintendo 64. Takashi Tezuka, director of Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Story, is supervising the development of the new game, which is set in a fanciful world of yarn and textiles.

One can only hope the game is not as easy as previous titles.

Yoshi's Woolly World will be more challenging than Kirby's Epic Yarn, Nintendo designer Takashi Tezuka explained to us in an interview.

The difficulty level in Kirby's Epic Yarn was set pretty low for younger players, according to Tezuka. "With Yoshi's Woolly World, we don't intend it to be for younger players...we were going to make it a Yoshi game," he stated. "The courses beyond what we have on the show floor will get more challenging. And if you try to get all the collectibles, you'll find it pretty challenging. It'll push back."

The reason the game seems to be more challenging this time around is because there is a lack of Baby Mario, which lets you die from enemies. You can also die by falling in pits. These added elements make it "easy to raise the difficulty level as needed," said Tezuka. "It's kind of like Mario."

Still looks like a relatively easy platformer from the footage.
