Posted May 2, 2007 So the other day I was lounging around at my friend's flat in uni and decided to switch on the N64 and put in Yoshis Island. After realising its been ten years since I played it, and then feeling a tad old for remembering 1997, I proceeded to play and loved it. Never really played it much as I couldn't afford it. Now I can't stop playing it. Is the DS sequel as good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 3, 2007 Nver played the sequel as i'm not the biggest fan of the original . but the ds sequel was supposed to be as good as in if you liked the original you should like this but as i said i never played it... A little off topic but is yoshis story any good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 3, 2007 Yoshi's Stroy is the N64 title, Yoshi's Island is the SNES one. I adore Yoshi's Island, and yes, the sequel (DS version) is great, but not as great as it predeccessor. Bowser looks weird in the DS version methinks. As for Yoshi's Story, that is the worst £50 I ever spent! The game has no replay value and is over in one sitting. You only have to do like 8 levels to get to the end, not the full amount that are on offer. And to top it off, to finish a level does nor consist of reaching the end, but of eating enough fruit! No skill involved whatsoever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 5, 2007 I never had Yoshi's Story, but wish I had, it looked sooo beautiful, like a story book brought to life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 6, 2007 Yoshi's Story was good like, if not great. I dont have it but I have played it plenty and its full of Lylat Wars-esque replayability. All the different routes through it and having to track down and unlock the black and white Yoshi's. And a really cute and cool story book style to top it all off, as if the Yoshi charm wasnt enough! As for Yoshi's Island on the Snes, probably the greatest 2D platformer there is. The DS one is a classy game, but lacks in the music department, or something. I cant quite decide where its major downfall is actually, but its definitely a shade behind the original, overall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 6, 2007 Would be nice to see either/both out on the Virtual Console this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 9, 2007 If you mean Yoshi's Island, as in the snes original which was possibly one of the best games ever, then how wrong can you go with the sequel? If you meant Yoshi's Story which was on N64, a pretty good game but no Yoshi's Island, then I reckon you can't go much wrong with Yoshi's Island 2 either. Yoshi's Island 2, from what I've played of it, isn't quite as good as the first. It's still good, it's got its own little quirks and stuff, but they put the whole babies thing into it but removed the items. I didn't use the items too much(except for getting the perfect scores and stuff) but they were handy for just that, and sometimes just because you wanted to go mental with a super green watermelon. Mmmm, yoshi's island. Fact of the matter is, no sequel will match up to it, but that doesn't mean the sequels aren't good games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 11, 2007 I did mean Yoshi's Story sorry guys. Changed the topic title a bit. Anyway I still love Yoshi's Island, but found out the other day how short it is... Ah well. Fun while it lasted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2007 Yoshi's Story was fantastic. I just loved it....Played it many times. I hope it appears on the VC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2007 Although I enjoyed the game, apart from them kids singing at the end of every level, it wasnt a patch on Yoshis Island. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 3, 2007 Yoshi's story was made to be played multiple times, trying to find all of the same fruits in the level was a decent challenge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 12, 2007 Yoshi's story was an awesome game. I found it a cute game with the Yoshi's singing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 14, 2007 How have I missed this thread? Yoshi's Island was simply amazing, just not quite as good as SMW. Haven't played the DS one, probably because no-one ranted on about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 14, 2007 Yoshi's Island pwns the N64 sequel, which was too easy for my liking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 25, 2015 Super Mario World Yoshi's Island First Person The first level of Super Mario Yoshi's Island for SNES in First Person. This level is a original remake of the SNES Version from 1995. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 25, 2015 Blech. I'm not sure that was worth bumping a thread from 2007 for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 25, 2015 Super Mario World Yoshi's Island First Person The first level of Super Mario Yoshi's Island for SNES in First Person. This level is a original remake of the SNES Version from 1995. Clearly a considerable amount of effort went into creating that but I'm not entirely sure what the point of it all was, really It has reminded me, though, that ever since the Wii came out, I always thought the perfect control method for a Yoshi's Island game was to use the pointer to fire eggs in the desired direction, without having to wait for the cursor to align..
