Yoshi's Story's title screen just makes me think "oh god damn it, I'm playing Yoshi's Story."

I have the game. I used to think it was probably alright, maybe mediocre but good fun. It wasn't just the opening song it's everything. A lot of level styles rehashed from the original SNES one and done in a much less inspired manner. It lacks any kind of polish. Honestly I should have stopped after I realised this:
Yoshi has no legs. It's supposed to pay homage to how it was in the original but it just ends up looking insanely bad and low effort, it's like they were a bunch of fans who gathered to make a fan game. Arzest/Artoon is a really bad company overall
Was that shibata? First time hearing him, it sounds so bizarroWhen negativity brings you down, Yoshi's Story's title screen will reverse that frown. (Click the image, plebs)

Your fault for playing a glorified tech demo, bro. Should have waited for Yoshi's Island DS instead.
This game has an freaking wolly dog,how it can be bad ?
Serious now,looks like that they hitted all the right boxes in this game,the art style is great,it doesn't look ridiculous easy like the other games,the level design looks pretty neat,the music is good,and the multiplayer,by the trailers,gonna be AWESOME. I didn't played a lot of the Yoshi games,only the SNES one,but it always looked like they fail on most of these aspects,especially the art style one,the 3DS game was pretty ugly.

When being held to no standards whatsoever, it's a mediocre platformer.
When being held to the standard of the original Yoshi's Island? It was really that bad.

A shame that nintendo makes an inferior gba port of yoshi's island the only option of playing today.

I've heard that's because of the Super FX chip that the game used. Same reason why the original Star Fox will never be on VC, which is a huge shame :/
I've heard the same thing: That legal issues involving the super FX chip mean we'll likely never see Nintendo emulate games that use it. Any gaffers know for sure?
im with jeff in this, yoshi is bad
ha they have to actually believe in yoshi for it to be a cycle

Ontopic, I'm really hoping for Wooley World to be good. Feel-Good made the awesome Epic Yarn, so cautiously optimistic. Yoshi needs a good game again.

dat first post
The Yoshi yarn amiibos look fantastic, and I love the cover to the game, strongly reminds me of old school videogame ads you'd see in magazines where it showed videogame characters made from real-world materials. So it really tickles my nostalgia bone.
But...
Yoshi sucks. I agree with Jeff and Nintendo needs to stop making him the star of games :/
If I buy it, which am not currently planning to (at least at full price), it will be simply due to lack of other new 1st party titles on the Wii U that I want to be playing and because the art style is cool. Everything else I could really do without. Yoshi is terrible as a lead, end of.
Hell make Rosalina a lead. That could be interesting. There are so many characters they could be taking chances on. Pushmo/Crashmo characters in a platformer, how about that? Mallow (from Super Mario RPG), how about a cloudworld-made-of-yarn game. Does anyone sit around and pray for new Yoshi games? No. It's just something Nintendo makes because they seem to really adore him.

Did you actually play it or are you just repeating what other people said ?
It's a decent platformer at worst, it's not even close to an "abomination".

Ah, so Nintendo is celebrating it by making the first good Yoshi game.

God have mercy on our souls
So I take it Jeff Gerstman hates Yoshi because his soul is as black as night?
Good-Feel, developer of Wii titles like Wario Land: Shake it! and Kirby's Epic Yarn

Yup. Did hearing him for the first time bring a warm fuzzy feeling to you as well?
Wooly World looks like a proper sequel to Yoshis Island to me. I hope it delivers.
Sorry if this has been asked before; but who's developing it?

Really? Damn, i didn't know this! Pre-order validated! Epic Yarn was really good, my wife and I finished the game in co-op and it was the cutest thing ever coupled with wonderful piano music!

Thanks, they seem to have a good hang on platformers. And I should have guessed, since I've got Kirby's Epic Yarn... (it was actually one of the games that made me want a Wii, thanks to it's charming character)
I love how you can see the soft wool threads on edges.
I hope we'll get to use different coloured Yoshi's as the game progresses, similar to Yoshis Island. I'm still upset Nintendo released the GBA version on the eShop. Why would we want inferior audio and visuals when the Wii U already support SNES games? I know it ran on a special chip, but that shouldn't be much of a problem.

this song is insane
I'm so hyped for this game. I played the hell out of Yoshi's Story when I was younger, and Wooly World looks like its building off that formula, and adding co-op!!!! Co-op! 
I'm in day 1 for the game, and ill have to be on high alert for the pink amiibo for my girlfriend. I'll kick myself if I fumble getting her that.
I've been praying for a spiritual yoshi's story follow up since the N64. Co-op blew my mind. I always liked yoshi in Mario games, and I really like how they've established the character as both a horse and a hero.

That is one of the most beautiful boxarts I've ever seen.
Also, have we seen Baby Bowser prior to this?
TheMoon
Member
Nope, the box art is the first sighting of him in this game.
Yoshi isn't the worst character but he's only had one great game and the rest are mediocre to bad. He's an hit and miss character
Amazing.

Yoshi sucks. Only thing he's good for is getting to the secret finish in Cheese Bridge Area of Super Mario World.
you saying shitting up, I say making better.
Shitting up? Nah.
More like salvage.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
They did!
Yoshi's Story had a creative design, with an unorthodox progression system and complex scoring system. I mean it had flaws, but it was definitely a unique game and I'm disappointed they didn't work off it more and try and improve its issue, instead rehashing Yoshi's Island which most people considered perfect already.

Love this. So much.
Going to have to disagree because this abomination is indeed a platformer.
I wouldn't call it an abomination, just a disappointment. If we want to talk outright bad Yoshi platformers, Topsy Turvy/Universal Gravitation is awful.
I'm gonna be honest, I was a bit butt-hurt because I figured that first post was from a really lucky/vigilant outlier. But holy shit, there's a lot of real Yoshi hate here.
"Yoshi's Island" was unambiguously great, and I think "Wooly World" might be the real deal. I really don't like the music in that first level, though:

Is there a reason to play Yoshi's Island DS after the snes yoshi island? They look the same, and yet people claim its a sequel. I hear Yoshi's New Island is absolute garbage too but I'm going to give it a chance.
