Game isn't bad, though. With a good soundtrack it would probably feel a lot better.
Oh it isn't too bad and a huge step up from Topsy Turvy, but it still is lacking compared to Nintendo's own efforts... unfortunately. You are definitely right though. With a good soundtrack, it would be a billion times better.

Bunch of kazoo haters up in here.
If you want to hear real Nintendo turds, go check out Excite Truck... or Wave Race: Blue Storm.
Yoshi's New Island is good listening.

Excite Truck's soundtrack was full of excite.

The main problem with Excite Truck OST is that most of the songs are a bit too similar. But I think overall they are cool and fitting for the game.

Yoshi's New Island has a great soundtrack. You can cherrypick the one of the two terrible pieces in the game (like what was done on the first page) but that's not indicative of the soundtrack as a whole. It's actually quite well done.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Twilight Princess mostly works. The OST as whole doesn't feel as fresh or varied against Ocarina though.
also I miss adult Yoshi

Aww, I'm glad the game exists. It's one of my favorite 3DS titles. Arzest, EAD, and the four or five people from Artoons who previously worked on YIDS -- they all did a fine job.

But that wouldn't be my defense. I genuinely believe Yoshi's New Island is GOOD. It has a charming art style and quirky, melodic soundtrack. And the gameplay is basically a more relaxing version of the SNES original. The whole package has a gentle, easygoing, vacation feel to it.

Twilight Princess has an extremely varied soundtrack. The main theme shows up a lot (overworld, ending, boss fights, some cut scenes, etc). But I wouldn't compare it to Yoshi's Story, Yoshi's New Island, or Super Mario World - it's not a really good comparison at all.
As for Ocarina of Time, I think it may sound more varied to you because there was no core theme that showed up over and over again - except for perhaps "Princess Zelda's Theme" - but who is going to argue against that? lol
And again, you guys aren't giving Yoshi's New Island a chance - the soundtrack is great. Don't judge it from that one cringe-inducing song!
The disco mix is pretty sweet, and I remember liking one other one from when I listened through it. But that's two out of two dozen or so, and the rest are bland, bland, bland.

The final boss + ending is just SO lame compared to the original it's ridiculous.
I actually prefer Yoshi's Island DS that takes the final boss in a different direction...trying to half-ass such an epic event just leaves me annoyed.

Omg. One of the best totaka's songs in one of the worst Nintendo game soundtracks! Wow

Just listening to this stellar OST again. Full OST here:

Hotfoot Hurdle is still my favorite.

Yeah, it isn't as bad. It's much worse.
I agree. I actually loved the game and enjoyed the music. Especially 5-1Yoshi's New Island has a great soundtrack. You can cherrypick the one of the two terrible pieces in the game (like what was done on the first page) but that's not indicative of the soundtrack as a whole. It's actually quite well done.

Kinda sounds like 'incest'. A coincidence? Methinks not.

If the game has garbage music, it is not a solid game. It is a bad game. Music is an essential aspect of a game.
Nintendo should have reused the music of the original game. It is better than reuse something good than use something new and bad.
What? That's ridiculous. Of course not.
That's somewhat of a subjective opinion. Can a deaf person not enjoy a game as much as me, if not more, then?
Like, 90% of the games I play I don't even remember the music 'cause it's just mediocre background noise. Does that mean all those games are mediocre?
What if I went into a thread and said, "If a game has a garbage story, it's not a solid game. It is a bad game. Story is an essential aspect of a game."
You can't just blanket statement shit like that. (Also if those were my sentiments, there'd only be like 10 good games.)

if you have a hacked 3DS, you can now play DS games even without a flashcart.
