New Yoshi’s Woolly World details
Posted 8 years ago by Brian in News, Wii U | 4 Comments
A new preview from Nintendo Life contains a bunch of fresh details about Yoshi’s Woolly World. We’ve rounded up the information below.
– Traditional health bar
– Yoshi takes damage as you’d expect him to
– Recover health by collecting hearts that are like the jumping star collectables from previous Yoshi games
– Yoshi’s tongue is the main method of taking down enemies
– Yoshi unravels them and turns them into balls of wool
– Use eggs to bind larger enemies made of materials other than wool, create warp pipes, boxes, platforms, and many other parts of the world to help Yoshi achieve his goal
– Uncover hidden areas simply by unraveling them via a loose bow
– Doing so reveals secret passageways or hidden items
– The game has dozens of hidden items
– This includes Flowers, new items such as Beads that have replaced the traditional coins, Stamp Patches that are hidden within certain Beads, and Wonder Wools
– Flowers: allow you to achieve 100% in a stage and access a mini-game to garner more Beads
– Beads are used as a generic currency and can be used to buy special badges that can assist you in a level
– Stamp Patches: used to unlock Stamps to use on Miiverse once a certain amount have been collected
– Wonder Wools: collect all five in a level to unlock a new Yoshi design to use throughout any and every level should you so desire
– Designs include Flower Yoshi, Circus Yoshi, one that’s based upon the Shy Guy enemy
– Yoshi has different transformations: umbrella, a mole, a giant version of himself, and a motorbike
– Transformations happen a few times in each world
– They task you with reaching a goal within a certain time limit, or face having to restart it all again
– Mellow Mode: control Winged Yoshi whose Flutter Jump is replaced by the ability to float at Yoshi’s current height indefinitely
– Still take damage in Mellow Mode
– Can still fail in this mode as well
– Can have a friend join in the fun as a second Yoshi
– If you run out of wool in multiplayer, one Yoshi can be used as a short-range substitute

A look at NesGlider, the prototype of Star Fox
Posted 8 years ago by Matt in News | 2 Comments
The folks over at Unseen64 once again did what they do best and unearthed footage and information from the video game history books. This time, they’ve covered NesGlider, a game that would eventually end up being the SNES classic Star Fox.
NesGlider was developed by Argonaut Games for the NES (and eventually the SNES) in order to show Nintendo what 3D games would look like on their hardware. While the game looked impressive for its time, it suffered from being a bit slow and clunky despite pushing the SNES to its limits. Check out some footage from the game below:
Nonetheless, Nintendo was impressed and decided to invest into a hardware upgrade that would allow the SNES to seamlessly handle 3D graphics. Working together with Argonaut, they developed the Super FX chip, which finally made 3D games possible on the Super Nintendo. Argonaut and Nintendo then worked together on the NesGlider prototype, and in a collaborative effort, the game evolved into what we know as Star Fox.
