The Yoshi side-scroller for Switch that Nintendo announced a year ago and let people play at E3 is missing in action at this year’s show, despite being originally slated for a 2018 release.

After noticing its wasn’t in the company’s E3 Nintendo Direct, we inquired about its absence with Nintendo of America director of product marketing Bill Trinen. He said the game isn’t at E3 but is still being made, adding, “We’ll have updates later this year.”

It’s unclear if the game is delayed or if it will still be out later this year. Nintendo has a track record for delaying games but has actually had a sterling on-time record since Switch’s launch.

Notably, the new Yoshi game features cardboard-style graphics. And Nintendo does now make video games that connect to cardboard. Wild guess, but could Nintendo be connecting the game to its Labo program? We’ll see.

Sobre el Metroid:

Is there anything you can say about Metroid Prime 4? Is there a reason it wasn’t at the show this year?

Trinen: It’s still in development.

Bihldorff: But yeah, we’re not featuring it at E3 this year.

Trinen: I think the main thing is, as people have probably realized by now – we show things when we think we’re ready to show them. And when we think we’re ready to show Metroid Prime, we’ll show Metroid Prime.

More than a logo?

Bill: [Laughs] Last year was the first year for Switch at E3, so we took a bit of a departure from our usual approach to E3, which is to focus on more near-term stuff. Last year, because it was the first year for the hardware, we looked at things that were maybe a little further out. This year, you can see pretty clearly, we’re back to focusing on the near-term. We’ll have more to share with Metroid Prime 4 when we have something we think is going to wow people.

Lo del Metroid se vio venir cuando lo anunciaron el año pasado. Un Logo significa que lo empiezan a hacer o que lo van a empezar en un futuro.

En una época en la que los juegos tardan 3, 4 o 5 años en desarrollarse, pues como que pasa esto.
