@LtSarge Wasn't there already a full sequel on Switch, called Yoshi's Crafted World or something? I'm pretty sure I've played it. Real simple, but real charming, too.
Anyway, nice work keeping the Wii U dream alive! Somebody has to!

@RogerRoger Yeah there was, although I haven't heard many people talk about it. It could be because it came out early on during the Switch's life cycle and it was "just another" 2D platformer from Nintendo. I do want to give it a go down the line though. Seems like it's a hidden gem for the system!
Well it's interesting you say that because Nintendo is actually shutting down the Wii U eShop next month. I can't imagine how crazy expensive games for the system are going to get from then on. So it's probably a good idea to buy everything that I want to get now.
I actually liked the New 3DS version of Yoshi's Woolly World quite a bit more, since it also ran at 60fps, made fantastic use of the system's 3D capabilities, and felt more at home on a portable system. Also, some added content that wasn't in the Wii U version. You lose co-op, but I never liked playing that game with other people anyway.
It's a 10/10 platformer no matter where it's played, though.
Yoshi's Crafted World is a disappointment in comparison.
@LtSarge YWW is a traditional Yoshi's Island-style game that combines puzzles and exploratory level design with traditional platforming. YCW, on the other hand, significantly decreases the amount of traditional platforming and emphasizes interacting with background and foreground elements in order to solve puzzles/collect items, making it feel more like a scavenger hunt in comparison. There are still some decent 2D-style levels, but even its best levels never hit Woolly World's highs.
Also, the soundtrack is a significant downgrade from Woolly World. The game's dynamic resolution also goes shockingly low at times, although the game does a good job of hiding this if you're not sensitive to such things.
It's not a terrible game. There are significantly worse Yoshi games, in fact. But it's not a great follow-up to Yoshi's Woolly World, which is one of my favorite modern platformers.
Scored a copy of Live A Live for $30 thanks to the gift card I received for pre-ordering Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope. Not sure when I'll get to it, but since it was published by Nintendo, I doubt the price will go much lower any time soon.
It's a Square-Enix game with a stupid title, which means there an outsized possibility it actually ends up being amazing.
@LtSarge@Ralizah Interesting stuff about Woolly World vs. Crafted World. I found the latter to be very cute but yeah, also kinda shallow. Didn't feel compelled to stick with it in the same way I have some other first-party Nintendo platformers. Sounds like I played the wrong one!

...had no idea that deadline was due but you're right, get whatever you can, whilst you still can!
