It seems some game enthusiasts believe there could be a connection to the game “Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World” in recent Nintendo Direct demos, suggesting it might be coming to the rumored Nintendo Switch 2. The Switch 2 Direct in April was packed with surprises, introducing new games and verifying several exciting features for the upcoming console. Yet, keen-eyed fans picked up on a subtle hint that could potentially unveil a future game for the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2.

Nintendo has officially announced an impressive lineup of Switch games that will work on the Switch 2. On top of that, they’ve also unveiled a selection of timeless GameCube games that will be compatible with the console’s backward-compatibility feature. Titles like The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, F-Zero GX, Soulcalibur 2, and Super Mario Sunshine are some of the classics that will be playable on the new console. Notably, there’s no mention of any games from the Wii U era in this list. Yet, some fans think they’ve spotted a clue in the Switch 2 Direct presentation that suggests popular Wii U games might eventually become available on the upcoming next-gen Nintendo console.

According to My Nintendo News, Joshua ‘NantenJex’ Goldie posted about noticing the cover art for “Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World” in the Switch 2 Direct presentation. The cover art is shown approximately twenty-two minutes into the Nintendo of America’s Switch 2 Direct, during the section highlighting games coming to the Switch 2, focusing on those with compatibility. This discovery has ignited many speculations that this popular game could be making its way to the next-gen platform it was long hoped for.

People observing closely have found an interesting twist in the demos of the Switch 2 Direct broadcasted in different regions. In the UK and Japan versions, the cover art for “Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World” was swapped with that of “Yoshi’s Crafted World”, leading some to assume it was an oversight by the American team. Another point that initially sparked excitement among fans was the apparent change in the game’s artwork shown in the Switch 2 Direct, which seemed different from the original 3DS version. However, this turned out to be a misunderstanding, as fans quickly pointed out that the displayed art was just an alternative cover from the initial release, not a new, updated image.

Enthusiasts who have been with Nintendo for a long time think it would be a significant mistake if the company doesn’t include classic games on its upcoming next-gen console. On the other hand, optimistic fans anticipate that popular titles such as Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World will eventually be made available on the Switch 2, and they believe it’s just a question of time until official announcements are made. For the moment, however, fans can only keep their fingers crossed for more news regarding the Nintendo Switch 2, hoping to hear about Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World and perhaps even more gems from the Wii U library.
