Reclaim the Super Happy Tree to restore happiness!

Baby Bowser has taken the Super Happy Tree and put a spell on Yoshi Island. It's up to a few remaining Yoshis to restore everything to its rightful place as they run, ground-pound, flutter-jump, throw eggs, and traverse a colorful and crafted storybook-looking world. Complete a course in Story Mode, and then best your high score in Trial Mode!

That isn't Yoshi's Island.

It's never Yoshi's Island. :/

Indelible · Mar 23, 2016

I remember being so disappointed with this after Yoshi's Island

I think they mean the SNES Version of Yoshi's Island.

Makoto Yuki · Mar 23, 2016

Forget the haters, I loved this game.

In no way was it perfect, but it was so heartfelt and adorable.

Woffls · Mar 23, 2016

This is the jolliest game. I'd probably replay my N64 copy before buying it on VC though.

Josh5890 · Mar 23, 2016

I don't get why NoE is offering a 50% discount for Star Fox 64 but NoA is offering full price for this?

dlcnotincluded · Mar 23, 2016

I liked Yoshi's Story a lot but why does it have to be $10 on VC.

The only Yoshi's Island we're ever gonna get is the GBA one.

I always wanted to give this game a second chance but not at the Nintendo prices. I would hope that the NX fixes the pricing for the Virtual Console, but I know better.

giant_frying_pan · Mar 23, 2016

Just in time for Easter, thanks Nintendo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there a licensing issue with the snes one or something?

Formless · Mar 23, 2016

Screw the critics, this game is really fun.

friskykillface · Mar 23, 2016

Still have no idea why you had to play the game a lot to play every level, was kinda dumb

why not just make it like yoshis island and go left to right , not 1 per world
I never played every single level in that game

Some speculate that they may not be able to legally emulate the Super FX2 chip but that's never been confirmed.

They could of course just port the game but, hey, this is Nintendo.

Starwolf_UK · Mar 23, 2016

Yoshi's Story always in the shadow of Yoshi's Island. Funny thing about Yoshi's Island is they wanted a game young children could enjoy (which is probably why it has regenerating health...eat your heart out CoD) and well I feel they ramped up this up quite a bit with Yoshi's Story for better or for worse.

Isn't that what the GBA version is?

And it will never be Yoshi's Island...the SNES version anyway.

Brandon F · Mar 23, 2016

One of the most disappointing follow-ups in gaming history.

Sheriff_Battlesnake · Mar 23, 2016

One of my favorite games when I was little. I remember losing it and it feeling like the end of the world. I also remember being really fond of the secret Yoshi colors.

But I hear it wasn't as good as my child brain believed. Maybe I'll give it a go.

-shadow- · Mar 23, 2016

I jumped out of my chair for a moment...

Then the realization hit me

We're never getting SNES YI, right?

It uses the Super FX2 chip.

NoKisum · Mar 23, 2016

Cool. When's 3DS?

EDIT: Whoops, read that as Yoshi's Island. Disregard my post.

Pancakes R Us · Mar 23, 2016

Oh my word, what a hit. I love this game. I have it in Wii VC but will probably pick up the U version also.

P.S. Haters gonna hate. Yoshiiiiii!

moltonasty · Mar 23, 2016

Too bad N64 emulation on Wii U is trash..I'd love to get this again :/

It's baffling, I couldn't understand what happened when I was younger after playing it at a cousin's house.

The Lamonster · Mar 23, 2016

I had the theme song stuck in my head all weekend for NO REASON. Haven't played this game since launch.

I will buy this and play it on Wii U

Vandole · Mar 23, 2016

I will rebuy this is a heartbeat. Nothing too difficult about it, but it's absolutely pure fun.

Be caaaaaaaareful! Be caaaaaaaareful!

Illusive_Juan · Mar 23, 2016

I'll never forget the day I got this game. I saw the box art and was SUPER excited! My parents shelled out the $70 for the game, and I beat it in one sitting.

I want to say 2 hours later :/

The song and the agony is brought is burned into my head.

1upsuper · Mar 23, 2016

I often feel like I'm the only person who sincerely loves this game. The joyful tone, storybook aesthetic (and denim), and the fruit gimmick just clicked with me. Not as good as Island, but still one of my favorite platformers, despite how easy it is. I still play it every few months, and Poochy and Nippy is one of my traditional wintertime levels to play through.

OnionPowder · Mar 23, 2016

I love this game. I didn't even know it was hated by so many.

Pretty much. Why can't Nintendo get M2 to emulate all their games for the Virtual Console? At least provide the quality.

Persona7 · Mar 23, 2016

augh I am still mad that I wasted like 60 bucks on this garbage game as a kid.

the opening song annoyed me so much

After playing and loving Woolly World, I'm curious to go back and give this a try again. I remember pretty much hating it back in the day though.

I personally feel that Woolly World is a superior game.

I loved Yoshi's story back in the day, but I don't think I would go back now that WW is on my console.

entremet · Mar 23, 2016

Hard to follow Yoshi's Island.

My beef was that it barely had content. I beat the game in a few hours thinking, "That's it?"

Preach the truth, brothers!

The levels in this game are charming. That big mama cheep cheep level is awesome.

It is a short game but it's also important to remember that there are a lot of alternate levels that open up depending upon your performance. So there is quite a bit of replay value to the game.

You'll take your subpar GBA Yoshi's Island and you'll like it. Because 2012 technology can't handle the power of a SNES cartridge.
