Yoshi’s Crafted World dev explains how the game came to be and how Switch influenced the project
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
After making Yoshi’s Woolly World on Wii U (and eventually 3DS), Good Feel continued with the IP to produce Yoshi’s Crafted World on Switch. Members of the development team spoke about the project in-depth in this month’s issue of Nintendo Dream.
According to director Masahiro Yamamoto, talks with Nintendo began before Switch launched. It was actually Nintendo who asked Good Feel is the company wanted to make another Yoshi game as opposed to the other way around. Also, due to Switch’s nature of playing with others and a home console that can be taken on the go, that acted as a major point of influence and led to the idea of having two sides to the different stages.
Yoshi’s Crafted World sold through 36% of its initial shipment in Japan
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Yoshi’s Crafted World launched worldwide on March 29. Through March 31, the game sold a bit over 50,000 copies in Japan. Media Create now shares further information about the game’s performance.
Yoshi’s Crafted World sold through 35.96% of its initial shipment. To compare this to recent entries in the series: Yoshi’s Woolly World, which released in July 2015 on Wii U, sold 31,000 units in its first week, while the semi-follow up on the 3DS, Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World, initially sold 40,000 units in that same timeframe. The sales of Switch, however, were down to 50,000 units (89.78% of the previous week), the lowest of the year. Media Create says this means there is no marked influence of the game on hardware sales.

Final Fantasy XV lead designer Wan Hazmer left Square Enix at the end of 2017. He went on to form a new studio in Malaysia called Metronomik. He’s now cooking up his first original game, No Straight Roads.
The rhythm action title hasn’t been announced for Switch as of yet. However, Hazmer told Gematsu that many people who tried the game at PAX last week asked about Switch support, and it’s now something that’s “being considered.”
