A sequel to Yoshi's Island, Yoshi's New Island, is coming to Nintendo 3DS in spring 2014, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata announced today in a Nintendo Direct presentation.
Platformer Yoshi's New Island is being headed by Takashi Tezuka, creative director of 1995 SNES title Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.
The game's art style is similar to that of previous Yoshi games, with backgrounds drawn as though they are created from crayons, watercolors or oil paints.
