Joining Yoshi’s Island is Mario Party 3DS. The look is an intriguing mix of old and new, and manages to avoid some of the plasticky sterility that’s marked Nintendo’s other retro revival series, New Super Mario Bros. It is also, however, a modernization that uses polygonal graphics at the same time as it apes the painterly sprite work of the originals. Like A Link to the Past 2, Yoshi’s Island 3DS is a sequel to a beloved Super Nintendo game. The first of these is a new Yoshi’s Island for the handheld. Like that game, Nintendo’s other reveals show that the developer is relying even more heavily on its past than it has before, plumbing its fertile properties from the 1990s to bolster the Nintendo 3DS.
Nintendo discussed release plans for a number of new 3DS games that had been previously announced, but also revealed brand new games expected out before the end of the year that are at least tonally related to A Link to the Past 2.
The announcement of a direct sequel to one of its foundational classics was the creamy center of Wednesday’s Nintendo Direct presentation, but The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 2 was just the first of many new games discussed for the Nintendo 3DS.
