New Yoshi's Island game announced

Third game in the series coming to 3DS.

During the latest instalment of Nintendo Direct, Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata revealed the long anticipated return of fan-favourite series, Yoshi's Island. It's coming to 3DS, though we've no idea when just yet.

The gameplay shown during the livestream event showed Yoshi carrying a baby Mario on his back, and performing some of his trademark platform moves.

The new game - the third instalment in the series - is set to have new features that utilise the functionality of the 3DS, but aside from a couple of new moves, we're going to have to wait for new details coming sometime in the future.
