For one, it seems to be an indication that Yoshi’s release window is the month of June. In the recent mini Nintendo Direct, Nintendo mostly focused on games releasing between now and May, so that could explain why Yoshi wasn’t featured in the presentation.
Secondly, it could be a sign that if Yoshi isn’t set to release in June, then it could be aiming for a summer release. It’s very possible that the June dates are merely placeholders, especially since June 30th falls on a Saturday. The June 29th release date, meanwhile, is a bit more believable, especially since Nintendo tends to release games on Fridays instead of Tuesdays.
If Yoshi is on track for release at the end of June, it’s possible Nintendo will withhold the announcement until E3. After all, Nintendo originally showcased Yoshi during its E3 2017 presentation, and announcing a major game release for the same month as E3 could create some buzz.
Regardless of Yoshi’s exact release date, we know that the game is currently planned for release this year. Here’s hoping it lives up to fan expectations and serves as another strong addition to the Nintendo Switch’s already impressive library of exclusive games.
Yoshi is due for release in 2018, exclusively for Nintendo Switch.
