I'D BUY 7
i think nintendo refers to all exclusive agreements with third party developers as working with a second party, on a per game basis.Code_Link said:
i'd guess toyokazu nonaka works within nintendo at the group (spd3?) handling all the exclusive third party projects (under second party agreements), like battalion wars, mario baseball, etc.
SAY NO TO ARTOON!
Bring back the original artists!
It needs to have the sketchy look!

Well that's really unfortunate that he (a seasoned Nintendo veteran) failed miserably, graphics and sound were terrible in Yoshi's Island DS amongst other things.
It sucks!

No, you're a nerd.Wii said:
Yoshi's Island DS has the same art style as the SNES game, just with more colours and sharper lines. Yoshi's Island DS is coloured pencil to the SNES game's crayon.
The DS game's music is ****ing terrible though.

yeah, i pretty much agree.psy18 said:I really can't tell the difference in those shots... except for the color.
I played the DS version for a while but somehow the controls feels different and I don't like it.
No to Artoon
i've given the game chance but the bottom line is it's disappointing, imo, it just doesn't play as well as yi, which is a real shame because i loved the original
in the scheme of things i don't think yi ds is a terrible game, it's an okay platformer, but the problem is the original yi is one of the greatest videogames ever made, so in comparison, yi ds is poor.
yet again artoon has failed to deliver. nintendo should've been more careful with the sequel, especially since artoon really crapped out on yoshi topsy turvy!
ead's the team for the job. even though yoshi's story was rubbish, i'm confident if ead was given enough time they could create a new game worthy of the yi moniker.
I'm enjoying Yoshi's Island DS a hell of a lot right now. I love some of the puzzles you have to go through with Baby DK and Wario, and the level essentially made out of wind flowers was very cool.
Anyone know yet what happens when you get all the Character coins? Is there only one per level?

Wow I think this YIDS bashing is a little undeserved, have any of you beaten the game who have said "No to Artoon"? The game gets better and better as you go, and the best art plus level design byfar is in world 5. Sure the game can't be as good as the original Yoshi's Island, but it's a damn good effort and a solid game
i've completed the game, but it's still disappointing imo. as i said, it isn't a bad game, but it isn't a great one either, and there's the problem.Vexidus said:
yi on the snes was a revelation in platforming when it came out. it did so many innovative things as well has having the best level design ever. putting it bluntly, yi ds feels like a fan made expansion pack, which is not what i want for the sequel to one the best videogames i've ever played.
i know you say the game can't be as good as the original, but i disagree. if ead had taken its time and carefully made a sequel it would've been incredible! i love nsmb, it recreates the feeling of the original smb perfectly, and plays brilliantly, yet does enough new to be a worthy addition to the 2d mario platformers.
i would've preferred it if ead would've held back yoshi touch & go, and expanded on the game, to create a sequel to yoshi's island. the core idea was great, but the game wasn't fleshed out enough. given enough time i think it could've been amazing, rather than just good fun, as it turned out.
imo, over the years the yoshi franchise has been hacked away at, which is a real shame because it had such a promising start.

I don't get the hate on this game...yes the music is sorta crappy, but it's not killing me really.
The game still has a lot of core gameplay, character and interesting level design. It has a really good sense of flow and I can just cruise through smashing things at a cool pace.
I think the original is my favourite game ever, and I am really enjoying this, but goddamn it gets difficult, which I love.
I hope all you guys have at least given it a go past the first world at least.

A Yoshi's Island 3d game on Wii would be what the system was designed for. A full cel shaded sketchy pastel world would be the exact kind of style and graphics the Wii could excel with and look downright appealing. Using the nunchuck to move Yoshi, and the wiimote to aim eggs and tongue attack, the set-up is all there. A very brief look at Yoshi in 3d can be found in Mario 64 DS, and it left me wanting more.
Its a far better fit for the Wii than Mario Galaxy or...well any other current Nintendo property. It makes such perfect god damn sense, and that is why we will probably never see it!
I gotta wait til Christmas for YIDS, but I expect to enjoy it very much. I hope the same people bashing it did the same with the woefully under-par NSMB.

I think it's a testament to the game's original design that a level pack can still offer better platforming than ANY other 2d platformer (cept perhaps NSMB) out right now. Considering the exponential leap Yoshi's Island was from Super Mario World (and it did start out as a sequel), if EAD were to have done Yoshi's Island 2, it would likely look and play totally differently to what you expect. Which, i think, is basically why it was farmed out - they're 'above' doing just a level pack of one of the most timeless masterpieces ever, and it wouldn't get the sales to justify the effort they'd need to put in, to top the original.
..... and they're probably still ashamed for releasing Yoshi's Story! VOTE YES FOR ARTOON!
Most of the problems mentioned in 1ups review, like the split between the level, are a problem. It does become a pain in the arse. I have no problems with Baby swapping, but I'd like them to tell me sometimes.
Even with these faults, it still contains some of the best platforming for the system, and some of the puzzles are very nice. They hand out lives like candy [Over 100 lives when I was at the second world], but from what we're hearing, you'll need them in world 5. Frankly, it would have been better off just removing lives altogether, really.
And lastly, after finishing off NSMB recently for all the coins, I feel like I've got a few fingers chopped off playing this because I can't walljump

i agree, and that's what i wanted, something new, not just new levels with a few tweaks.the androgyne said:
overall, yi ds was worth making, but i find it disappointing when judging it against the original from every perspective, level design, controls, graphics and sound. however, comparred to most of the 2d platformers available these days i think yi ds is a decent game.
