So tomorrow, the mysterious Yoshi's Island DS is comming out for the DS. This is supposed to be the direct sequal to Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and was originally named Yoshi's Island 2.
Here is the plot:
I'm really excited about it. I too wanted to play as Luigi. As far as the story goes it doesnt really matter. When has a Mario game ever really had a deep story?
Concerning Baby DK being there, I was always under the influence that Mario, Peach, and Wario were from the Mushroom Kingdom and didn't go to school on Yoshi Island, but they do in this game. I don't think that continuity is really too important in Mario games.
This game should be fun, but I'm gonna get FF3 tomorrow. I might eventually pick this up if I hear good things about it, because Yoshi's Island was one of my very favorite SNES games.
I was gonna buy thuis ASAP, but, well, EGM's review has left me questioning. Normally, I agree completely with their reviews, and they say it just doesn't live up to the original. Also, they say the whole dual screen thing is flawed. They say the gap in between the screens is "empty space", meaning, there's stuff there, you just can't see it. They say half the time, it gets frustrating, since some random hazard will kill you in between screens. I don't know, could be good. Could be bad. Either way, I'm extremely torn between buying this and FF3 now. =(
...Did anyone buy this game? I got FFIII, and the decision between the two was painstaking. :(
Ive orcered Yoshi on import. Along with Mario VS DK 2.
sorry for the late bump, but this game is really good. I recommend it, it has some challenging levels, but it's fun. Definitely my favorite game right now. I just got it 3 days ago and I'm on world 4.
How is the gameplay, is it like the original?
yeah, you can scroll up or down to see what's cut off
the only thing I didn't like was the default control settings, but you can change that.
Oh, good. I'll buy it eventually then. I was waiting to see if someone would say something good about it. :(
On another note, does it use the shoulder buttons? >_>
It probably does, since both the SNES and GBA versions of YI used R for egg-aiming.
>_>
What's the deal with the controls? Can you edit them yourself, or are there custom control sets? I'll definitely buy if you can customiz.e. Otherwise, I'll have to wait until I get a new DS or fix the buttons. >_>
Nope.
Again, you have 4 different options for your controls. The one I use is the original, and you don't need them, plus, you have X and Y. :)
oh, good.
definite buy, then. Any game I can enjoy a lot without lack of options from shoulder button damage is a good game. Yoshi's Island GBA is still pretty much the only GBA game I can play over and over. I long for more, and am excited that some of the levels actually are hard.
eggs in the controls I have is L.
Get cooking mama! OH WAIT NO BECAUSE IT MADE A SCRATCH ON MY SCREEN :mad:
Well, L is completely useless to me. :) R works half the time, but there's no chance with L.
That's what I meant, I put L by accident because my L broke. There's still hope for your R button to come back to throw eggs! :)
i dno if i want to get this game or diddy kong racing
Get this game, it's actually something NEW, rather than a sub par re-hash. I say sub par because from what I have read, DK Racing has been re-worked and doesn't look as good as the original.
This game sells for $35? Got it for $29.92 as my total at wal-mart. :cool:
Just finished it. I liked the art style but I got fairly tired of the actual adventure halfway through. The difficulty increased at a good pace. I did enjoy it more than the New Super Mario Bros. Trying to see things that were in the middle of the two screens got annoying.
