Downloading now. Also can people please quit posting YouTube links? They're embedded on mobile and the thumbnail is a screen grab of the last boss.
Sorry about that. I edited my post to so that it won't spoil other people viewing the thread on mobile.

The composer who did Yoshi Island DS did the music in this game that figures.

Music really can make or break a game huh?
Going from Donkey Kong to this is like a free fall to hell.

It also has 6 challenging new levels and counts how often you've died. I actually prefer the GBA version.
Not the game but the Yoshi themed XL. Unless Target fucked up.. XD

It's always the same theme and the same remixes are in every world, I heard a new remix in 2-1 however but then everything was the same.

Played through the first world tonight. Didn't 100% everything, some of it is really sneaky in how they hide it, but I was having a good time. Music sounds better coming out of the system than those videos and I think it looks better with 3D. Some of the stuff you see in clips looks mushed together - makes more sense when you're roaming around with it turned on.
I think the feet are still too big but that a small gripe on my part.
So yeah - so far I like it. I wish there were more control options but I'll get used to one of the two configurations I guess. I think anyone who really wants to hate on it is going to not be happy with any of it but if you have an open mind, give it a chance. I say that as someone who loved the first one a lot.

I know what you mean. It'll be another 9 hours or so before I get home with my copy.
I actually brought my 3DS with me to work today! I'm hoping to get most of Four Swords Anniversary Edition finished up if I have time.

It hurt YIDS for sure, considering the first game had an amazing soundtrack.
I got to the first castle! This music is pretty good, IDK what everyone is complaining about. I mean, the weird off-tune kazoo instrument they use in some of the pieces is kind of annoying, but at least the main song used for all the remixes is nice. The level designs haven't been too challenging so far, but we'll see if it ramps up or not.
The graphics are also not as poor as I originally thought, everything looks a lot better on the 3DS screen than it does in trailers.
The only clearly bad thing so far is the slight control lag for Yoshi, his slower run and egg-digesting animation are definite downgrades from the super-fast original.

Don't pretend this is actually a thing.
This game is woefully under-rated. The way some places and people have trashed it just doesn't fit. The gameplay is nice and tight. Level design is good and imaginative in hiding things. Music, ok I'll give them that. Graphics are nice and I actually get it now I've seen it on the 3DS.
It doesn't deserve the hate it's getting.

Agreed....only done the first couple of worlds but enjoying it so far. Personally I think the graphics work really well in 3D
Ok finally bought it and tried it (my 3DS is on standbye with Yoshi entering the 1rst boss room...I mean 1-8).
Well music is really atrocious....less embarrassing than Yoshi Story but still very bad (seriously baby yoshis cries for the theme song? WTF).
gfx is really good, they clearly choosed this style over the YI/YIDS style because they needed to implement 3D somehow (it's on 3DS after all), so the models are in 3D and the result is this style.
It's clean and aside from yoshi being slightly too small for my taste, it works and it's very good.
I'm playing in 3D btw.
Controls, jump and everything is like YI/YIDS, throwing eggs however is objectively bad.
There's a delay between the moment you press the button and Yoshi fetch his egg, it slows the pace of the game and is unnecessarily making it harder too (since it's less responsive).
Yoshi no longer tries to launch eggs when he's out of eggs, and that's a bit of the charm of yoshi thrown to the wolves for no reason...
Difficulty, whoever said this was too easy is a hack.
the point of the game is quite clearly not to get to the end of the level but to make a high score.
The objects are well hidden so far and proves quite a challenge to be found (unlike most recent Mario games where they don't even hide the coins/stars).
Interestingly I'm having a harder time collecting lives than in YI or YIDS (that last one was the hardest but by World 2 I was already at something like 100 lives).
The only real problem is the music, the rest is actually good.
Not the best game I played on 3DS this year but really not bad, it's more my style of platformer than nsmb 2 or 3D Land (or even DKCR but that's a wii game anyway).
The transformations uses the tilt controls, they're less shitty than Universal gravitation but I'd rather use the usual controls....I prefer my motion controls one handed.
That's something that was sorely missing from YIDS, more than welcome here.
Only boss I saw is the most unimaginative and boring boss fight I've ever had the displeasure of fighting this side of the shitty boss fights we get in 2D Mario.
I actually like this game.
This isn't a game for babies like Yoshi Story or that horrible universal gravitation game, if you replace the music it would even the best successor we got in years.
Heck it's making me appreciate YIDS music that much more....that's not a good thing.

l preordered the game from Amazon, but thanks to Prime, all non-Prime orders get the shaft. My game won't arrive until next friday. I reserved another copy at my local Best Buy and will pick it up in an hour. I'd just cancel my Amazon order, but it's $5 cheaper, so I'll just return the Amazon copy to Best Buy.
I also acquired Fire Emblem this week, but I intentionally held off so I could focus on Yoshi.

I agree. The music also sounds slightly worse on the GBA and the voices they added quickly get on my nerves. Not to mention that the hardware cannot handle some of the graphical effects, e.g. touch fuzzy get dizzy.
If this happens in the future you can complain to Amazon if you notice this shipping issue in advance, and they will almost assuredly fix it for you.
It's happened to the last three games I have pre-ordered. Prior to Prime being implemented in Canada, a pre-ordered game would ship on release day and arrive a day later (I live near the shipping centre located in Mississauga). Now, the games sit at "preparing for shipment" for three or four days, then get shipped.
It didn't matter much before, since I could just buy locally instead, but with the Canada price increase, Amazon kept their prices lower for a bit, so I pre-ordered everything I could to save money. So, this is all just a rant from a cheapass who already used up his free month of Prime and misses the old times of one-day delivery super saver shipping.

I would still say if you contact them they will get you release date delivery. Have you tried contacting their customer service? They will really bend over backwards to make a customer happy.
There are two control options, luckily for you the second one is exactly what you're looking for.
Awesome! Thanks for the quick reply.
Happy to see most who have bought the game are actually enjoying it. I hope Max will like it too
Haha, thanks Sebastian! I'm sure I will. I'll report back later on!
The manual is now part of the game in the home menu for every single release from Nintendo for all 3DS and WiiU games.
They're robbing us blind of a decent manual and pocketing the profit for no good reasons.
Seriously it's annoying.

I gotta say the antihype surrounding the game really helped make me appreciate what we got (except the fucking music).
I mean unlike that other Team ninja powered cooperation where the media were saying total BS and actually liked the trash that was the gameplay.
Here the game is way better than the reviews would let you think it is.

Honestly, the GameXplain video review made me want to pick this up. He makes solid points, and the gameplay in the video actually looks like classic Yoshi's Island. I'll try to pick it up today and give impressions later.
If it weren't for the fact that I still haven't opened up my copy of Bravely Default...
And that I splurged on Dark Souls II and its collector's edition guide...
AND that I double dipped on Final Fantasy X HD (collector's edition at that), I'd be all over this game, but now I'll have to wait until it's cheaper. Much cheaper.
Still, can't say the tepid reviews are exactly filling me with anticipation.

Every level in this game has the same music, just remixed. Thats disgusting

No, it's not perfect - and I'm sure I'll find tracks that I don't like. However, I thought it sounded better off the system than it did listening to the videos I've watched.
I'm also not trying to compare it to the original. That music is flawless to me.
You're not Anihawk, link or didn't happen.
No, it's not real of course. I know I'm not AniHawk, just keeping his Iwata: what is wii u joke alive. I thought that was pretty funny. This was just for my own amusement, hopefully others will find it amusing as well.
It loses its point if it's not on a Iwata Ask thread though, that's why it's so funny when Anihawk does it.
It's the repetition more than anything too

I didn't find it amusing at all. At a gIance I thought that it was from a real Iwata asks and that Yarn Yoshi had been cancelled.
