Nintendo's latest major game is a starring role for Mario's dinosaur buddy, Yoshi.
The game is named "Yoshi's Crafted World," and it's a spiritual successor to the classic Super NES game "Yoshi's Island: Super Mario World 2."
With a whimsical art style and charming gameplay, "Yoshi's Crafted World" is a delightful, relaxing game.
The first major Nintendo game of 2019 doesn't star Super Mario, but it's delightful regardless.
Instead, "Yoshi's Crafted World" stars everyone's favorite dinosaur - the eponymous Yoshi - as he searches for a gaggle of magical jewels in a papercraft world.
Having spent several hours with the whimsical new game, I can't recommend it enough.

What's the deal with "Yoshi's Crafted World"?
Why does it look like that?

More than just a 2D platformer, you can explore the foreground and background of any given level.
You can jump on enemies, and you can eat enemies, but most importantly you can shoot eggs at stuff.

Also, yes, you can dress up Yoshi. Finally.
"Yoshi's Crafted World" isn't the Super Mario-level platforming you desire, but it's a delightful, relaxing iteration on the classic formula.
