Yoshi’s cardboard adventures may not be over just yet.
Nintendo has confirmed that Yoshi for Switch is still in development despite not making an appearance at E3 this year.
Following Nintendo’s Direct, Nintendo’s Bill Trinen confirmed that Yoshi for Switch, which debuted at E3 last year, is “still in development” and that updates will come later this year.
“It’s actually been making really good progress. They decided they wanted to make some improvements, so they’re going to take just a little bit more time on it and that’s why we’re not showing it this year at the show,” Trinen told IGN, “But I think you can look forward to some updates on it later in 2018.”
At E3 2017, Nintendo announced Yoshi for Switch and showed off an extensive demo featuring a cardboard aesthetic. At the time, Yoshi was slated for a 2018 release, but Nintendo would not confirm whether or not it’s still a 2018 title when asked by IGN.
