But...but.... 2D = SNES.

I love you

I know this won't sound original, but seeing the game and hearing about how it is played, I'm afraid it will be too gimmicky as in building the game around an idea that may not hold up for a whole game. Or they'll just make the game very short and mini-game'ish. But we'll see...

And yeah, we need a proper sequel for Yoshi's Island.

That's what I thought after hearing the explanation.

But.. the press loved it? Link? Or elaborate?

To us, Yoshi's Touch & Go is a great example of the kind of games that could potentially make wary gamers understand the unique features of the Nintendo DS. Whether or not the concept will extend to an entire game--and, more importantly, whether or not consumers will embrace such a game--remains to be seen, but for now, we're very intrigued (and we'd like to play that demo a few more times, please).

GameSpot seemed to have the same reservations all do, in how it will turn into an entire game, but they love what's there.

Listen to memles. The game looks great.

Is the DS capable of making better 2d graphics than GBA? I figured they would of upped the amount of colors that could be displayed on screen. So far all the 2D DS games look like they could pass for GBA games.

'Goemon' looks sweet:

and 'Egg Monster Hero' looks good too:

Goemon looks awesome!!

great art style

Plus it doesn’t take it’s self to seriously

I hope this new game lives up to mystical ninja on the N64!

One of the most underrated games of all time!!

I agree. Can't wait to find out more about it.


Edit: Plus I would kill for a new 2D 'side-scrolling' Mario game.

The Yoshi game could stand to look better. I mean it looks like a fun game, but why the circa 1993 graphics? Goemon has a very nice look to it though.

A demo shot of what mario could look like on DS.

yeah... let's get rid of Viewtiful Joe!
</sarcasm>

anyways, it's a techdemo from E3 which was extended a little because so many people asked for this game/demo to be released. Nintendo satisfies quite a few customers and gets a fair amount of dolla-dollahs. Seems fair to me

 

[Do The Mario]

Here is what the new Mario game really looks like

Yeah..it looks like they're using 3d polygonal models. And I expect these are very early screens, can't wait to see how this game progresses. Its been to long without having a new 'old school' Mario game.

 

[seismologist]

Someone mentioned that GBA games look alot better on the DS thanks to the backlit screen.

 

[Kiriku]

Wow, Goemon looks friggin' amazing. Best-looking NDS game I've seen so far.

 

[Syckx]

I was talking to WayForward (The Shantea team) and they have some DS's since they are doing Ping Pals. The head guy says GBA games look awesome on the DS. So yes, GBA games look better on the DS.

 

[Warm Machine]

It looks like early 90's euro trash like ZOOL or James Pond.

 

[MrAngryFace]

Yoshi Flash!

 

[Scalemail Ted]

Just out of curiousity, are there any videos available of the currently shown version of Yoshi's Touch and Go?
