I sure hope it's nothing like Yoshi's Story 2 if it shows up...

Aha, it is for GBA. I remember Ken Lobb announced that a port of Yoshi's Story was due out for the system, but it never materialized. I don't think this is it though. In the announcement of 5 titles Super Metroid was also supposed to get ported. It'd be nice to have it on the handheld for all the people who never got to experience what I feel is the best Metroid of the lot.

Can I get a "meh"?
For the record I'd rather have a Yoshi's Cookie 2 or Yoshi's Safari 2 than a Yoshi's Story 2.

I will never understand why gaming fanatics, mostly journalists and online gamers, have to have "innovative" titles at such alarming rate. They dog solid games done right but done before. Heck I could play zelda OOT, dragon quests, etc all my life and be quite happy. While others would give a toilet sim a ten just because its new. There has to be balance somewhere. We could be playing endless experimental games like Last Mana and Saga series, yic. Back on topic I love Yoshi Island but they likely go with some alot easier to develop route will masking innovation.
Because change is the only way to move our industry can move forward, otherwise it just stagnates and we're doing the same thing over and over again, which some can deal with and some can't.madara said:
Yup, and when it's the exact same game over and over again, well, who can blame them for liking something different? I honestly don't see doing the same thing over and over again across so many games to be enjoyable, but hey, that's just me.
I'm not going to argue that different gamers seek different things. Some people are happy doing the same thing over and over again, some get tired of it. The industry needs to, and does, cater to all these tastes.

Jungle Beat rocks so much it hurts. Nintendo needs to get a demo of this into the machines with Konga or give out the demo with Konga. Its a fucking blast.

I'm pretty sure that the drums are needed for Jungle Beat. Unfortunately. But that might be half the experience.AniHawk said:Drums are not required to play the game- you have the option to use the controller or the drums (I think). It's not like Donkey Konga where there's music or anything either.
An interesting side note is by doing really well in the game and establishing a rhythm (see the combo meter?), the in-game music begins to reflect that. Thus, having skill not only looks neat, but it sounds cool too.AniHawk said:Drums are not required to play the game- you have the option to use the controller or the drums (I think).

In retrospect, I sorta take this back.
What I don't want to see is another Donkey Kong Country series, where they're all the same exact same thing. The first one was neat to look but the polish wore off by the second and by the third game it was just tired.
Thankfully, the DKC series is the exception rather than the rule when it comes to Nintendo platformers. For the most part, Nintendo always changes things up just enough to differentiate the new game from prior iterations - I'd say innovation here, but it would just sound cliched. They're very good about giving proper sequels to us.
I'm sorry, but my inital post was no doubt inspired by the fact that I perceived an attack on Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat, which is one of the most amazingly fun games I've played in a long, long while. I'll still stand by my later points though, especially since the recent run of "me too!" platformers by various companies have just left a sour taste in my mouth.
You bring up a good point here, that being Jungle Beat won't require the drums else it would be bundled with them. Rather, it's a situation like Samba de Amigo - the game is best enjoyed with maracas, but can be played with a controller.AniHawk said:
Remember kids, Jungle Beat is a full-priced game that doesn't come with the bongos.

Hehe, I remember when everyone thought a new Donkey Kong game was coming...and then Donkey Konga was announced and met with much hate around here. 
I don't really know if I want a more traditional Yoshi game or something different. I'll keep an open mind either way.

jungle beat isn't something "new and innovative;" it's something old that's been complicated by a deliberately inappropriate control scheme. this is an interesting effect -- something like setting your nes advantage on the floor and playing with your feet, if you ever did that as a kid -- but i'm not sure it's good game design. ideally controls should become transparent, minimizing interference between player and game; in jungle beat the interference is the whole point. it's one of those games that calls attention to its own novelty. and this will be enough to win some people over. i'm not so convinced.
and i very much doubt it'll be playable without the bongos. with a controller, it'd just be an extremely simplistic platformer.
