Another Yoshi Story 6z2s59
Yoshi games are known for their distinct art style. Yoshi's Island on the Super Nintendo made use of a special chip called the Super FX to boost visuals,Ā Yoshi's StoryĀ on the Yoshi's Woolly WorldĀ gave everything a soft looking texture that nailed that the promise from that title. So how are things looking inĀ Yoshi's Crafted World" type of style. The world appears to be made of cardboard and inhabited by plushie characters including Yoshi himself.Ā
Also, as it Yoshi-game tradition, it seems like Baby Bowser, aka Bowser Jr, is returning as the villain alongside the wizard Kamek. These baddies appear in the brief story trailer as they cause chaos by shattering the Yoshi's Sundream Stone into pieces and casting the lovable dinosaurs from their home onto some nearby islands. Check out the scene for yourselfĀ --Ā which seems like it may actually be the game's opening cutscene --Ā in the trailer we've shared below.

What exactly is going on? Here's the summary of the story in Nintendo's own words:
"It all started when Kamek and Baby Bowser set out to steal a gem-set stone. Legend has it that this fabled artifact can grant the bearer their wildest dreams! But when the artifactās gems are sent flying, it falls upon Yoshi and friends to find them. Luckily, saving the day can be cooperative and challenging. As Yoshi, youāll leap up high, gulp down enemies, and set out on a treasure hunt to find all the different collectables. On the flip side, stages can be played backwards, providing new perspectives to explore and new ways to locate some of the more craftily hidden items!"
