Oops, Yoshi's Woolly World Featured In Switch 2's "Compatible Switch Games"

I wish we had Woolly World on Switch. I prefer that over Crafted World by a lot.

As GVG pointed out, the art is NEW though, so this does appear to be a leak

I noticed this during the direct!!! Admittedly I think I saw it and my brain saw crafted world but clearly it was wooly world. There was a brain and eye sight disconnect.
… speaking of, Nintendo please combine Yoshis wooly world and Kirby Epic Yarn into one game and let me play as Yoshi in the one game and Kirby in the opposite. Think of it like playing as Knuckles in Sonic 1.

Ooh. I hope so. Is the music good for Wooly World? Crafted World has such bad music it didn't help me warm to it!

@HotGoomba Agreed on Wooly World. Or maybe a Yarn Yoshi double pack??

@Mana_Knight Wooly World is miles better. I really enjoyed it.

@eaglesfly76 Goody. I love the music of Yoshi Story and Island. It is PART of the gameplay experience.

Nice to see Nintendo still porting Wii U games!

@Mana_Knight
Wooly worlds soundtrack is absolutely fantastic! That's why we were all so pissed with Crafted worlds OST!! I had that date circled in my calender because I was looking forward to the OST! 😂

So perplexing.
That Europe and Japan featured Crafted World would suggest that this is merely an error.
However the new artwork would suggest that something is going on.
But then why wouldn't they have shown it at the recent Switch1 Direct?

Sadly, it's almost surely just an error. And it hurts me to say that because Yoshi's Woolly World is one of the best platformers the Wii U ever had, and I KNOW Nintendo is sitting on HD versions of those adorable stop-motion shorts they made just for the 3DS version, yet most of them aren't released.

All they have to do is port it to Switch 2 with all the 3DS content and I would buy it for a third time. Please Nintendo, I beg.

We have no first-party Nintendo games coming before the release of Switch 2 in June, so that's a two-month game drought. That is, unless Nintendo pulls a Xenoblade X and announces more titles out of the blue. Yoshi's Woolly World could be announced and released this month via the new Nintendo Today app, and Kirby Planet Robobot or Metroid Prime 2 and 3 HD could be announced and released the following month. But that would beg the question: Why weren't they in the March Direct?

A HD rerelease for the Switch was on my bingo-card for last weeks direct. After having thoroughly plundered the WiiU backlog to prop up the Switch, it´s baffling that Nintendo has shown such restraint towards this game. I´d happily buy it again.

My daughters loved Crafted World. It was perfect for their ability with mellow mode, not having to press down to make eggs from enemies, getting more hearts and eggs in mellow mode, and being able to constantly hover. If WW is coming to Switch, then I hope they tweak it to match Crafted World in this regard. They tried playing Woolly World on the Wii U but found it more difficult due to it not working in the same way.

Yoshi is always welcome.

I am really excited for a new Yoshi game. Crafted World is a great Yoshi game. It is one of the Switch games, which I beat more than three times.

Probably just a mistake unfortunately.
I saw someone point out that the art used there is slightly updated from anything seen before though but I'm not sure if that means the game is coming to Switch (2).

I hope so though!

@Edward_J_Grug_III new or just previously unseen? I wouldn't be surprised if someone at NOA had access to key art that wasn't widely available, and used that in the direct.

I suspect this is just a mistake.

The art doesn’t need to be “new”, simply “new to the public”. Who knows whether an alternate tile was prepared a decade ago.

Annoys me when irritating mistakes like this are made as it means someone is in a job where they don't 100% understand what they do.

When you consider there are literally thousands of people that would love to do this job and have 100% understanding... it annoys me!

And it's not just some mistake... they are 2 entirely different Yoshi games. The marketing manager/ product manager is clearly not right for the job if they cannot tell the difference.

It's why games marketing is so different to any other industry. You can't teach it. You either get games... or you do not. This person clearly does not... so they should go get another job and let someone else that would love this job properly do it instead.

@Liam_Doolan @Edward_J_Grug_III it's old art. They did a wide shot of the 3ds cover just like they did a wide shot of the Wii U cover.

You can see it here as the 3rd image on an old walmart listing.

Leaning toward this being a mistake, sadly. A Woolly World remaster with the custom Yarn Yoshi creator from the 3DS version and amiibo patterns from figures released since then would've been very nice. Even more people would get to play easily the second best Yoshi game ever.

I'm mostly just impressed that someone noticed this at all.

Seems bizarre for Nintendo to reveal Switch games coming so far down as 2026 last week, but not include Woolly World if it was on the docket.

wouldnt be surprised if they ported this to switch. would be another budget option for people who cant afford 90eur for a game

The question is, why would NoA and Japan/Europe get different Direct graphics?? I would assume they all get the same source file, then just dub it or add subtitles. Maybe NoA got an earlier version of the video earlier because they needed to dub it? And that was the one where the mistake wasn't fixed yet.

YES! This is in my favorite platformer of all time and in my top five favorite games of all time. When this comes, PLEASE give this a try. You will not regret it

@GravyThief Woolly World already has Mellow mode in it (although the hovering is basically useless because you can just spam the flutter jump to stay in the air in normal mode)

@NFrealinkling yes it does, but the other bits work differently. You don’t automatically make an egg when you grab an enemy with your tongue like in Crafted World. Also you get multiple eggs per enemy on mellow mode in Crafted Word, and you also get more hearts for each heart pick up. These little things made it difficult for my young daughters to get to grips with Woolly World, so I’m hoping they bring this in line with Crafted World if they do port it over.

If we're not getting Wind Waker HD, fine. At LEAST let us have this, Nintendo...

We will need the extra content from the 3DS version to make it definitive and worthy of a double dip

As much as I’d love to see Yoshi’s Wooly World hit the “Nintendo Switch family of systems” (even dedicated a segment of a video I made to it), I sadly think that whoever was in charge of the US broadcast confused the two.
