– 3 levels in the E3 demo
– First 2 levels have a lot of secrets
– In the first level, you had to reveal hidden clouds
– In the third level, there is a different type of egg you that was an unknown Yoshi enemy
– You could shoot it to form a cloud path
– Line up the cloud paths and carry and boulder to crush a Piranha Plant or a wall to unlock a secret
– Still collect 5 flowers
– Most of these are hidden in nooks and crannies behind question-mark clouds
– Game doesn’t keep the red coins or the counter
– Yoshi is also looking for three pieces of Wonder Wool in each level
– There were some rote scenic transformations involving unraveling yarn
– A lot of the scene transformation magic of Epic Yarn doesn’t seem to be present in Woolly World
– Yoshi does transform quite a bit
– When he flutters, his legs turn into a propeller
– When he ground pounds, his body turns into a hammer
Check out the following exchange between Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime and Kotaku:
Kotaku to Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime on Tuesday: You guys did make a joke about Star Fox in the [Nintendo digital event] and then Miyamoto showed up with a Star Fox game…
Fils-Aime: Don’t go there!
Kotaku: So…
Fils-Aime: Don’t go there!
Kotaku: You did make a joke about it. [laughs]
Fils-Aime: Where are my glasses? My beam-blocking glasses. Because I’m going to go into beam mode here.
This information comes from Michael Gallagher, president of the Entertainment Software Association…
“E3 is a world class show that deserves a world class venue. The Los Angeles Convention Center is no longer a top-tier property. The time to make this decision is relatively short. We’ll consider all cities that can improve the experience.”
