Honestly, can Nintendo just release a downloadable update or patch for this game. The music isn't the only problem with Yoshi's New Island, but damn, it has got to be one of the biggest and most noticeable problems. I'm having the hardest time wanting to play this game, simply due to the horrible soundtrack. Everytime I play it, I have the vastly superior SNES music playing in my head, but as soon as I hit the goal at the end of the level, I am immediately thrown out of the game.

I think the longest I have ever been able to play this game is for only a few levels, but that was because I had the sound off and had the original Yoshi's Island music playing on my computer. Otherwise, it's barely a level before I have to turn it off.

Such a disappointing situation.

 

[Metallix87]

At least it's not as bad as the filth that assaults your ears when you play Yoshi's Island DS.

You mean you're not a fan of such great pieces of music like The Yoshi Clan?

 

[elektrixx]

They should've released it on a real platform.

Make it stop

 

[perorist]

They should've released it on a real platform.

How would this change anything

 

[BY2K]

They should've released it on a real platform.

Seriously, why do you say that?

 

[Shaanyboi]

They should've released it on a real platform.

....huh

lol wow.

 

[Metallix87]

They should've released it on a real platform.

Real platform? WTF?

 

[BinaryPork2737]

I'm surprised you didn't just post the Yoshi Clan.

Real talk, not all of the music is disappointing. Especially Evening Theme, it's pretty okay.

 

[XenodudeX]

You mean you're not a fan of such great pieces of music like The Yoshi Clan?

Who ever composed this needs to be fired.

 

[PaulExcellent]

You mean you're not a fan of such great pieces of music like The Yoshi Clan?

man what the fuck

 

[BatDan]

Mother of God, it's all toilet sounds!

I... I don't see how a patch can fix the music.

They should've released it on a real platform.

... I don't get it.

 

[Lijik]

The worst part is World 6 actually has some decent music that they use in one stage each and then for the penultimate stage that takes place close to a volcano they reuse the shitty 1-1 theme

 

[Jintor]

I think it's kind of amazing they can bring out Mario kart 8 music but also this drek within a month or two

 

[Shaanyboi]

You mean you're not a fan of such great pieces of music like The Yoshi Clan?

What the fuck am I listening to?! WHAT THE FUCK AM I LISTENING TO?!

 

[Metallix87]

Real talk, not all of the music is disappointing.

Agreed. There's some bad music, obviously, but quite a bit of good music as well, a marked improvement over what YIDS offered.

 

[Defect]

Real platform? WTF?

Should've released on the Oculus.

 

[Muzy72]

Seriously, the music is fucking garbage, Solid game otherwise.

 

[dragonlife]

You mean you're not a fan of such great pieces of music like The Yoshi Clan?

This is some RE1 Director's Cut type shit, wow.

 

[nhlducks35]

You mean you're not a fan of such great pieces of music like The Yoshi Clan?

The fact that someone thought this sounded good enough for the game blows my mind

 

[daydream]

It's a perfectly good soundtrack, I've been listening to it pretty regularly. Experimental/Weird tracks like Yoshi Clan are few and far between, so citing those is totally misrepresenting the game. But hey, don't let me stop you.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Real talk, not all of the music is disappointing. Especially Evening Theme, it's pretty okay.

This is the first somewhat tolerable thing I've ever heard from this game.

 

[encephalon]

You mean you're not a fan of such great pieces of music like The Yoshi Clan?

This is truly impressive.

 

[BY2K]

The fact that I can't find anything on the composer except the fact that the only games he's credited for are Sonic Rush and Yoshi's Island DS is pretty telling...

 

[Plywood]

You mean you're not a fan of such great pieces of music like The Yoshi Clan?

Mother of God, it's all toilet sounds!

My sides.

 

[Zeppeli]

This is some RE1 Director's Cut type shit, wow.

Don't even TRY to compare the two.

 

[NR1]

You mean you're not a fan of such great pieces of music like The Yoshi Clan?

KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!

What is wrong with Nintendo!?!? How could this garbage soundtrack get past quality control????

 

[Gilby]

Just listen to Tetris Attack music while you play:

[AwakenedCloud]

You mean you're not a fan of such great pieces of music like The Yoshi Clan?

I see they're trying to compete with thisSonic masterpiece.

 

[Metallix87]

That seems to be the primary objective of the people against the music in this game. They choose one track, Yoshi Clan, which plays only once during the game and just for about a minute, and use it to attack the entire soundtrack, despite it containing some real gems.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Don't even TRY to compare the two.

BAHAHAHAHA oh man every once in a while, it's good to listen to this.... Just to get some perspective.

 

[BruiserBear]

I'm much happier just pretending this new Yoshi's Island game doesn't exist. If Nintendo doesn't respect their franchises enough to give them a full effort, I'm certainly not giving them my money.

 

[Azure Dream]

I see they're trying to compete with thisSonic masterpiece.

Someone should mix the two together and unleash Hell onto this Earth.

 

[Kyzon]

You mean you're not a fan of such great pieces of music like The Yoshi Clan?

Well that certainly made me rather listen to Central City

v Edit: lol

 

[Isotope]

I see they're trying to compete with thisSonic masterpiece.

Which would say is better, Nocturne, or Central City?

^ Edit: lol

The GOAT right here. I don't know what the hell went wrong with some of the stuff in that new one. There were some nice songs though from what I've heard.

 

[Metallix87]

This logic makes no sense. The game is actually very good, and unlike Yoshi's Island DS, the music on the whole isn't bad.

 

[Dice//]

What the fuck. I don't get it. At least Yoshi's Island had really great swing style going for it

And Yoshi's Story at least knew HOW to be cute without being obnoxious

Yoshi's New Island sounds like it doesn't even give a damn. :/

 

[daydream]

It's frankly completely disrespectful, but whatever.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

You mean you're not a fan of such great pieces of music like The Yoshi Clan?

Ahahaha, what the fucking hell?

A song composed of cute dinosaur farting. Wow. Well, now I've heard everything.

 

[Yarbskoo]

You mean you're not a fan of such great pieces of music like The Yoshi Clan?

That sounds terrible. It's weird since it seems all the Nintendo games I've been playing recently have had great soundtracks, even when other aspects are lacking.

But dear lord that sounds awful.

 

[Metallix87]

It's frankly completely disrespectful, but whatever.

I find it very upsetting, as well as the fact that people on here are fueling it by only listening to that one track.

 

[Camjo-Z]

The music isn't really that bad. I would link some good pieces but the number of quotes the Yoshi Clan song has gotten suggest that they would fall on deaf ears.

 

[BruiserBear]

This logic makes no sense. The game is actually very good, and unlike Yoshi's Island DS, the music on the whole isn't bad.

I consider the first Yoshi's Island a masterpiece. The fact that Nintendo sees fit to hand this franchise off to a B team yet again just grosses me out. The art style and music alone tell me everything I need to know.

 

[biRdy]

You mean you're not a fan of such great pieces of music like The Yoshi Clan?

Ha my 4 year old cousin turns to me and says "really?" when I started playing that abomination.

 

[Chance Hale]

Are there any other notably poor song other than that one? Yoshi Clan seems to be the only one that gets linked.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

The fact that I can't find anything on the composer except the fact that the only games he's credited for are Sonic Rush and Yoshi's Island DS is pretty telling...

HEY

Sonic Rush's soundtrack was great and Hideki Naganuma is a godsend! Thankfully this guy only did small arrangements and not full tracks.
