News: Nintendo reveals the release date and pricing for Yoshi’s New Island along with a new Yoshi themed 3DS XL.

Yoshi’s New Island is set to come out on March 14 and it will be bringing a brand new 3DS XL with it. Launching on the same day as Yoshi’s latest adventure is a green Yoshi Nintendo 3DS XL system that features an image of Yoshi on the front, as well as a series of cute Yoshi eggs on the back. The system will launch for $199.99.

Yoshi’s New Island is the next game in the Yoshi’s Island series, and the first on Nintendo 3DS. In the beautiful side-scrolling platform adventure, you will take control of Yoshi as he carries Baby Mario and helps him reunite with his kidnapped brother. Along the way, Yoshi will throw eggs that he lays, including the massive Mega Eggdozers, and experience a variety of inventive transformations with unique controls.

Yoshi’s New Island also features helpful items like the Flutter Wings, which let Yoshi fly through the air. This item is great for players who have trouble completing a level, and ensures that people of all ages and skill levels can enjoy the game. Yoshi’s New Island will be available on March 14 for $39.99.

As a side note it doesn’t look like Yoshi’s New Island comes with the new Yoshi 3DS XL. It is a bizarre oversight but be sure to check with your local games store to make sure. Will you be picking up this new system and/or Yoshi’s New Island?
