About The Game

An Island Egg-venture Starring Yoshi

The third installment in this beloved franchise makes its way to the Nintendo 3DS system. The new Yoshi's Island carries on the series' core gameplay mechanics — we saw the flutter jump, ground pound and egg-throwing, alongside some new 3DS gyroscope features.

Features:

  • Yoshi’s New Island keeps the series’ fun game-play mechanics, such as Yoshi’s Flutter Jump, Ground Pound and Egg Throw, while also offering new abilities. For example, use the giant-sized Mega Eggs to destroy objects, obtain coins and reveal hidden doors.
  • Using the Nintendo 3DS system’s gyro sensor functionality and the new binocular ability, players can move the system around to uncover hidden areas as well as better aim Mega Egg throws.
  • Throughout the game, different worlds feature a variety of art styles, including oil, watercolor and crayon.
