Does Yoshi's Island not count, especially since it was called Super Mario World 2?

Spike said:Don't rush them!! I want to see a Pikmin 2 level of quality and polish for this one. Take your time, Nintendo!
Miyamoto has always said that it's only because of the fan's desire that he continues to work on Mario and Zelda sequels. Otherwise he'd be off doing new shit like Pikmin and Nintendogs all the time.dock UK said:Notice that Nintendo don't seem to want to do sequels to certain titles now? I don't think we'll see another Mario Kart on the DS, and this will be the only 2D mario - better to get it perfect, right?

I think he really takes it personally when a Mario game isn't as well recieved ... is it really a surprise that the two most highly revered Mario titles ... Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario 64 came after what were generally considered somewhat dissapointing installments (be it commercially or critically) in Super Mario Bros. 2 (Lost Levels) and Yoshi's Island ... which is a great game, but I think it really burned Miyamoto to see Donkey Kong Country get more attention.
You gotta love Mr. Yamauchi praising DKC so much as well, it's kinda like the Emperor letting Darth Vader know he's expendible :lol

Ulthwe said:The original japanese name is "Super Mario: Yoshi's Island", so I consider the "Super Mario World 2" in the US and EU names just a marketing thing.
I personally consider it the best 2d platformer ever.

Ark-AMN said:I hope this game is at GDC. It's probably much easier setup (and space wise) to bring in lots of DS's rather than consoles. And since Nintendo really doesn't have anything to show except Zelda (though I have a feeling Odama will make an appearence), there should be more room for the handheld.
Kobun Heat said:The E3 demo levels were obviously thrown together really, really quickly. The mechanics were there but the game was not.

Fatalah said:Just a quick question guys. I don't own a DS, but this game looks like a classic.
It'd be great if the DS library could work with the Revolution.
jarrod said:Mario 64 and Yoshi's Island were developed in parallel actually. Mario 64 wasn't really a "response" to criticism of Yoshi's Island at all, not like Mario 3 and Mario 2 or Zelda III and Zelda II.
Sure, but Yoshi's Island had it's focus pretty much set at the same time as Mario 64. It wasn't intended to be an "everything and the kitchen sink" type Mario like Mario 3/World, it was going to be a uniquely engaging "side" game to hold SNES Mario fans over. The visuals did get a major reworking last second though, in response to DKC.ioi said:Well, they may have been started at the same time but Yoshi's Island was released a good year before Mario 64.
They could at least cel shade it or something. It just looks so generic and uninspired. I've no doubts that the game will be great, but visually it's a disappointment.human5892 said:It's because they are replacing all of the 3D models with sprites.

Oblivion said:YOU SHUT YOUR GODDAMNED MOUTH!
The only thing Yoshi's Island had over SMW was "probably" the final boss battle. And even then that's stretching a bit.
rainer516 said:Yoshi's Island is the greatest 2-d game ever made. It trumps SoTN, All the other marios, and every other genre you can throw at it. I like to think that the entirety of 2-d gaming culminated into that cartridge and produced perfection.
Oopsie, you got that backwards... here...Cheebs said:SMB 3 > SMW > YI

Kulock said:The visual style of YI actually drove me away at first, it just really bothered me (and for Miyamoto to always be going on about gameplay and such, that was a pretty frivolous graphical change). And those vehicle morphing sections... I don't know, the game just didn't do it for me.
Suburban Cowboy said:why dont they make a new Mario Bros?
Hmm, i dont know, maybe cause if they dont make a Mario game that forever changes the face of gaming people claim that it is utter shit and forever flame it. Ok, I get it, you dont like Mario Sunshine as much as Mario 64, but does that really make it a shitty game? Seriously, Ive heard Shadow the Hedgehog receive more praise than Sunshine on this board.
