Yoshi's Island was tons better than Yoshi's Story. Heck, it's Super Mario World 2, for goodness' sake! Just one more SNES title that Nintendo seems to be avoiding a VC release of.

Yoshi's Island DS doesn't compare to the greatness of the original.

This was my second GBA game (right after SMW which I already played on the SNES) The game was great and I wish they brought the watermelons in Yoshi Island DS.

@Artistic_Anarchy:

I agree. I felt disappointed playing Yoshi's Island DS. I felt that the other babys weren't really neccessary. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island will forever be the best Yoshi game for me.

Yoshi's Island DS wasn't a bad game by any means, but it was nowhere near as good as the original.

It's sad how we Nintendo fans should be living of nostalgia from older games, because Nintendo doesn't want to release anymore games for us. Wii Sports Resort (arguably a quick cash in to sell a peripheral, probably the game will cost 80-90 dollars, like the common rip - off from them) is all they got for first half 2009, 25 1st/2nd party teams doing nothing.

Nintendo, and more specially NoA screwed this gen big time. I guess at the beginning of next year, most of the core audience would have left the crappy casual, consumer-screwer and money-hungry Nintendo behind,and let them cash in on the casual, misinformed consumer. It's ironic how they decided to destroy long years of work by turning into a shovelware/casual company.

Yoshi's Island is one of my favorite games.... Definitely one of the greatest platformers ever made. (2D or 3D) The game is absolutely beautiful, charming and smart. It's also a very, very big game packed with quality to the brim. Every level, boss and world is completely different than the one before.

Easily one of my top 5 favorite games on the SNES.

A complete classic.

Anyone who even tries to compare Apples to Oranges (SMW1 to SMW2) is kidding themselves...

I love all the Yoshi games no matter what.

I bet you anything the person who did the review was a Gamepro or Edge Magazine guy.But i remember playing this game and getting all 6 Stars that said you did and got everything in that part of Yoshi's Island.Then there are some of you who have yet to have that feeling too.

Yoshi's Island was such a great game. They really need to bring it to the VC.

They should never have lied and called it "Super Mario World 2" because that implies a lot. It's like Final Fantasy:CC for Gamecube, it was a lie, and the game seemed "less than" it should have been.

So I can understand why someone might trash it, adding promise of something from the past, that clearly isn't there, totally throws the game down somewhat. Not that Yoshi's Island was a bad game, because it wasn't, but coming off the heals of Super Mario World, and having that in the actual title, implies something grander than what is actually there.
