Why hasn't there been a 3D Yoshi Island platformer yet?

Because 3d platformers are worse than hitler.
Considering Yoshi's gimmick in that series the aiming would be all sorts of fucked up.
Plus, I think keeping it 2D would benefit it more
huh... why HASN'T there been a 3d yoshi's island yet?

OK, I get mario, but whose shoes and whose guns???

Lara Croft and Crash Bandicoot

Crash and Lara's pistols

I fought in both the Pacific and European theaters in WW2 and I can say without hyperbole that your opinions are worse than Hitlers.
Because 3D platformers are awful and Yoshi's Island games are awful.

is that Chomp after his egg? I wonder what would be inside if he cracked it open with his teeth

3D Mario titles suck.
They haven't managed a good followup to Yoshi's Island yet, to show they understand what made the game good.

Yoshi's Woolly World is probably the best Yoshi game since then though finally. Even if Yoshi's Island is still better then it, it's finally a respectable sequel, and a good sequel to Kirby's Epic Yarn as well.

Yeah, I meant to say that but I guess I forgot to do so. Woolly World was good and a lot of fun, but didn't quite catch what made Yoshi's Island good. It was light on challenge and, more importantly, the levels were fairly linear rather than the more open, explory levels in Yoshi's Island.
There aren't enough gays in the world to support another yoshi game

It's funny cause it started as a 3D Yoshi game on Super Nintendo
Best 3d platformer

game is hard as fuck
but yeah really nice fresh ideas and physic play with the balls
>>334552083
And the game turned out shit.
Croc was a trash 3D platformer, if you really want to like a really good obscure 3D platformer without being a contrarian, pick up Chameleon Twist 2

>Move over Mario
I don't get it when I see this in 90's vidya ads, did they seriously think they would dethrone 90's Nintendo as king of game companies?

This is something I've been thinking about a bit.
There's a small push for a return to 3D platforming by some amateur developers, and there appears to be some real demand for it, but the examples coming out now are largely Banjo and Mario 64 clones. Poor ones at that. Nintendo could jump on that easily, but they've been too spineless.
The other problem is the difficulty in designing a 3D Yoshi. YI had a very specific control system and set of mechanics, namely egg shooting, and that could be difficult to translate to 3D without resorting to basic 3rd-person shooter controls or while maintaining the fluidity of platforming while shooting. Kirby's another series that has mechanics that don't carry into 3D very naturally, but there's a minigame in Robobot that looks like a basic proof-of-concept to properly translate Kirby's sucking ability. I figure if that goes anywhere, and we get a proper 3D Kirby, that could pave the way or at least give us a concrete idea for 3D Yoshi.
>>334550191
Because Nintendo would let Arzest develop the game and we'd get another fuck up like Yoshi's New Island.
Just be happy with the original game and move on.

well, splatoon is a third person shooter with great controls and the story mode has some platforming
>>334567924
This isn't the best example for what the average player might look for, but this video is a good example of all the shit you can do in Yoshi's Island. Keep in mind that the later sequels were criticized because they didn't operate at this level of depth or complexity.

Splatoon has shooting and platforming, but I don't think it's designed to be as fast paced as a proper Yoshi game. Maybe Yoshi couldn't ever work in 3D the way it does in 2D, but I think that kind of pacing and movement should be highly prioritized when making the attempt.
>>334566948
It's just a gimmick challenge mode though, not a platformer.
