New Yoshi’s Island was one of the most discussed titles today in Nintendo’s newest Nintendo Direct, with Satoru Iwata discussing a number of new features within the game. Like normal in the Yoshi’s Island games, Yoshi’s job is to protect Baby Mario from the evil kamek’s tasked with his capture, but this time he has a whole new arsenal of moves to do so. One of these new moves involve Yoshi throwing a giant egg named a mega egg-dozer, which nearly fills the screen and can destroys pipes, blocks and more. By eating a giant metal enemy such as a metal shy guy, Yoshi can also produce a metal egg-dozer that rolls across the ground, clearing the path in front of you. This mega-egg also allows you to go underwater where you can’t normally go.
Another new feature discussed was transformations. The Nintendo Direct showcased a rock breaking jackhammer and sea exploring submarine transformation, both of which can be controlled with the 3DS’s unique gyroscope functionality. A helicopter transformation is also known of. There were also two other special powerups mentioned, one is a special star that turns Yoshi into Super Yoshi and allows him to run so fast he can scale walls and dash forward through the air like Superman. The other was the flutter wings, that allow Yoshi to grow a set of wings enabling him to fly, which is designed to help more inexperienced players get through the stages. Fans of the series will be happy to know smiling flowers, red coins and stars are still hidden within each stage.

Straight from Nintendo Direct, us here at Capsule Computers are bringing you some great news for Pokemon fans and puzzle fans alike with the announcement of a brand-new Pokemon title for the Nintendo 3DS. The game is called “Pokemon Battle Trozei” but that is only for North America, European players will be getting a game called “Pokemon Link: Battle”, it will be the exact same game so don’t worry because it is only the name that gets a change.
If you’re a fan of Pokemon and have been so for years you may be aware of a game called “Pokemon Trozei” which was released on the original Nintendo DS back in 2006, well “Pokemon Battle Trozei” just so happens to be a sequel to that game but, considering it’s a puzzle game, don’t stress that you haven’t played the first one before this.
“Pokemon Battle Trozei/Link: Battle” has players connect three or more of the same Pokemon symbol to clear levels, gain points and actually attack enemy Pokemon. It uses much of the same mechanics as the first game though with small, enhanced additions. The game has been confirmed to have 4 player co-op, though we don’t know exactly how that will be executed, and will feature every single Pokemon up until this point in time.
It is a puzzle/adventure game that is packed full of all the things Pokemon fans love and if it is anything like its predecessor you can imagine that it will be a pretty rocking game. It will be released on the Nintendo eShop on the 12th of March in Japan for 762 yen, the 13th of March in Europe and the 20th of March in North America (no prices have been released for NA or EUR) so start gearing up for next month.
