Yoshi for Nintendo Switch: Amazon Italy Suggests Potential June Release Date
Following the surprise release of the latest Nintendo Direct Mini, the gaming community has been buzzing with excitement over the upcoming slate of Nintendo Switch titles.
Among the most eagerly anticipated is Yoshi for Nintendo Switch, a new entry in the beloved platforming franchise developed by Good-Feel in partnership with Nintendo.
Initially revealed during E3 2017, Yoshi for Nintendo Switch impressed fans with its unique side-scrolling mechanics and creative, handcrafted visual style reminiscent of earlier Yoshi games like Yoshi's Woolly World.
Since its debut trailer, the new Yoshi title has frequently appeared with a generic 'December 2018' placeholder date across retail channels.
However, a recent product listing on Amazon Italy has stirred renewed interest, as the prominent online retailer now indicates a possible June release window for the game.
While retail dates can often serve as placeholders, the timing has captured attention—June is not only historically significant with E3 2018 on the horizon, but also currently has no major first-party Nintendo Switch releases confirmed.
This development has led many to wonder if players might experience Yoshi's signature scenery-flipping gameplay sooner than originally expected.
A spokesperson from Nintendo has not provided official comment regarding the updated release date, and no announcement has been made via the Nintendo Direct or other official channels.
Nonetheless, the game's presence on Amazon Italy with a specific June window provides a degree of optimism for fans awaiting new content on the Nintendo eShop and in physical retail stores.
Since the success of Good-Feel’s previous Yoshi titles, the studio has become known for breathing new life into classic Nintendo franchises with fresh art styles and engaging level design.
Their work has consistently received critical praise, with previous releases like Yoshi’s Woolly World on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS selling over a million units worldwide and earning high marks for both creativity and family-friendly gameplay.
With anticipation building for E3 2018 and Nintendo’s upcoming announcements, the possibility of a summer launch fits the company’s tradition of surprising fans with sudden release windows.
However, until Nintendo confirms an official date, all information from third-party retailers should be considered provisional.
Be sure to follow Nintendo’s official channels and the Nintendo eShop for the latest updates on Yoshi for Nintendo Switch, including potential pre-orders, trailers, and further gameplay reveals.
Whether Yoshi embarks on his next adventure this June or later in the year, the platforming icon’s return is sure to be a highlight for Nintendo Switch owners in 2018.
