Idk if someone already said this, but the phrase "Suddenly, warping through space and time, King Bowser appears!" shares some absurdly similar energy as "Somehow, Palpatine returned"

[@millerkarageanes1562]

[@Dragoz-tn9vs]

You didn't talk about my favorite part of DS, the enemy zoo where you could look at different enemies that you've seen existing in their natural environment and interacting with other enemies from other environments. It's the best!

[@NutyRiver]

That sounds so cute!!

[@thealientree3821]

The zoo is such a unique feature of any game. I’m not even sure if there’s even anything like this. Like, actually giving thought about where and how the enemies normally live without them actually being enemies, while still exhibiting normal enemy behavior is such a creative idea that I think anyone should experiment in.

[@Kohchu]

This mechanic was something I majorly enjoyed; the concept was unique, and I always loved Enemy Collections in games (Kirby 64 was probably the first I remember doing it), due to how it's basically a collectathon but for enemies. However, there is a major issue with the way it was executed in Yoshi's Island DS. To unlock the enemies in the Museum, you have to defeat or hit them with an Egg. For most enemies, this isn't a problem, since many enemies you will take out with Eggs naturally. But some enemies; you likely in most standard Scenarios, won't even think of using an Egg on them, because they are ineffective or seem like a waste. Several enemies are invincible and don't die from getting hit with an egg, but they are still unlockable in the Museum if you randomly shoot them, and some enemies hitting them with an Egg is actually more wasteful then just eating them. There's also some enemies which don't really feel like enemies at all, more just terrain hazards (like the haunted furniture) which makes their inclusion seem awkward. The Giant enemies are some of the worst for this, as most of the time you basically have to take a death to hit them with the egg; due to their involvement with chase sequences where if you don't rush, you die. There are also some enemies who only appear once (Like the Shy-Guy riding a Rocket); and if you don't hit them with an egg; you'll be scratching your head wondering which enemy you are missing in the museum. Speaking of the Shy-Guy Riding a Rocket; the Museum has a Shy-Guy Exhibit, but the Shy-Guy Riding a Rocket isn't in the Shy-Guy Exhibit. Instead, it's in the Airborne enemies exhibit. I GET that it is an Airborne enemy; but it feels like it wasn't thought out well.

I actually quite like Yoshi's Island DS. I mean, it pales in comparison to the original Yoshi's Island, but it's still a really solid game. I think it does a really good job emulating the original style while adding new elements when appropriate. It feels like a proper sequel. I also like the multiple-babies mechanic (though I wish Baby Luigi was available, as I feel like there was no reason for having him be kidnapped again when all the other babies were kidnapped, too, but that's nitpicking). Yoshi's New Island was good, too, but I don't think it was as good as the first two. It was just ok. Also, a lot of the soundtrack is bad, and I hate the Bowser fight for Bowser fight's sake at the end, but AntDude talked about that.

I personally finf Yoshis Island DS pretty underrated. The baby mechanic was at times really fun and the level design was mostly really good. Like you said there were some really terrible ones but there where also some pretty good ones. The game also tries out some really weird ideas which are very original if not everytime good. I only have one major flaw with that game which is the fact that the Item menu is gone. Meaning for 100% you have to beat every level without getting hit because you can't fill up your Power Star meter which sucks because it's one of the hardest games I have ever played even harder than the original. That kind of ruinied the game for me but sure not the original ideas. You criticized Mario for being unoriginal but criticized Yoshi for being it? Yoshis New Island on the other hand was bloody terrible. The game bored me to death with it's short and unoriginal levels, terrible motion controlled transformations, lack of ideas, terrible story and horrible soundtrack. It felt like a very shit made copy of Yoshis Island 1 without any creativitiy. Also are you going to talk about Yoshis Story and Yoshis Topsy Turvy one day? Two very unknown and underrated games in my opinion.

[@secret333plays]

I agree. I couldn't even FINISH Yoshi's new Island, and I loved the original. Its just so awful. The whole game is also quite easy and the controls feel off. I know he touched on that in the video but its not just the egg throwing that gains a weird animation, everything does and it makes the game feel very slow as a result. But really the game is so ugly and the soundtrack is soooo awful. So many themes have weird off-key instruments to sound cute I guess but it sounds incoherent at best, ear rape at worst.

Pedro Gonzales I couldn't agree more, DS really felt like the natural evolution of the original with an actually interesting addition in the form of the other babies altering Yoshi's abilities. The giant egg bullshit in New Island immediately seemed lazy and uninspired by comparison.

[@Flintofmother]

Inconsistent artstyle, segmented level design, bad music (just because New had worst music, that doesnt mean this had good music, just check the castle and boss music) step dificult curve. DS is pretty bad, I say worst than New, just a little bit better than Yoshi´s universal gravitation.

[@Flintofmother]

The Sprites on DS came from 4 diferent sources; Stright from the original (many enemies that didn´t apear in touch and go) From Yoshi Touch and GO (Yoshi, Shyguys, Kamek, tilesets) Drawn for this game (the ugliest designs usually like the Kangaroo) Rotoscoped 3D models (that ugly bowser from the ending) Its like if you made a Mario game mixing sprites from SMB1, SMB2, SMB3 and SMW and the fact that I could tell that is proff of its lack of art direction. And what I mean of the dificulty curve, is not that its hard , is that is to easy until the last level were tha dificulty raises way to much.

[@thingsiplay]

No mention of Yoshi's Story? To me, this was a sort of successor. If you say, its different, then look at all other mario games. They are completely different games each version. So, thats why Yoshi's Story is true successor to me. The DS versions are made by different studios and are not really made by Shigeru Miyamoto.

Yoshi's Island to me is a bit like Star Fox 64. Some of the follow-up games are actually pretty good, but none of them have really been able to at all live up to incredibly high standards the original had. Like Yoshi's Island is one of Nintendo's best games, no doubt. Also, both were Miyamoto projects that came out the year before he made a revolutionary 3d game. Huh.

[@Mister_BIack]

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island was the first game I have ever finished all by myself around 23 years ago when I was around 5 years old, I still remember that. This game holds a very special place in my heart and I am so glad I grew up in that generation.

[@jedijack0577]

I don’t care what anyone says about the kazoos this 12:43 is super nostalgic and I loved New Island growing up

[@BlueFire98]

Yoshi Island is one of my favorite games on the SNES I even like it more than Mario World and Donkey Kong Country. I loved how the DS brought the other characters and gave them the seven star children lore. I hope Nintendo brings it back for one of the characters main franchises(Mario, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Wario Franchises).

[@zacharygadzinski3147]

Ironically, all the star children appeared in their own games, except Bowser. I think a Super Princess Peach sequel could bring back the concept. Also, does anyone else want to see a next gen Mario cast that introduces Super Mario Junior cousins and the like? Eventually Bowser Junior will need a Mario Junior to pester as he attempts to kidnap the new gen Peach or whatever her name would be.

[@EternalYoshi]

I remember Yoshi's New Island. I didn't like it much. The game felt like.... the Sonic 4 of Yoshi's Island... it's very subtle but the game controls worse than it does in the other 2 games. Not just the egg throwing, but also the turning and acceleration felt a little sluggish too. The visuals.... they screwed it up. The "watercolor texture" style Antdude refers to? That was meant to be only for the backgrounds. Using it for the foreground stuff instead of the simple color sprites makes it look very off. I would sooner recommend Yoshi's Wooly World, as that's a better game than both Yoshi's Island DS and Yoshi's New Island.

[@ZudeXbox360]

It doesn't hurt that YWW seemed to take more like Yoshi's Story than Yoshi's Island.

[@SuperRetro64]

That’s exactly what it was like, it wasn’t fun to play, yet played it safe the entire way through. They really messed up, they should have made a sequel instead of a retelling of the first game. At least Wooly World was good and hopefully the upcoming Yoshi game will be good.

[@PixelSprixie]

The part where you talked about Yoshi pooping out a gigantic egg and destroying his butt in the process... your choice of words left me in a giggling fit. Good job AntDude ^_^ now I will never look at Yoshi the same way again! All things considered though, Yoshi's Island DS & New Island are no where near as memorable and fun as Story and Woolly World, but on they're own they're pretty fun adventures. Aside from the jarring plothole of how Bowser can just travel through time. Meh.

[@vistacorp5285]

Being someone who grew up in the early to mid 2000’s, I didn’t grow up with Yoshi’s Island, being able to play it as an adult and DS being my first, it naturally earned a soft spot in my game library.

[@Seikatsu]

There's that word again "New". Why are things so new in the past? Is there a problem with the developers' creativity?

[@TheMGMfan]

Because it's conveying that this is a new game in a franchise; when Nintendo started slapping new on their products with New Super Mario Bros. on the DS, that was because it was, well, a brand new 2D Mario, something we didn't get for 14 years up until that point (not counting games starring characters like Yoshi or Donkey Kong that first appeared in a Mario game), so that was a big deal. There are probably better ways to convey that which don't become outdated than putting "New" in front of the title, but it works, so they did. Four times. It makes sense, since they're all in the same series, and you could argue that the New in the title can convey that this is a new series of 2D Marios, but that doesn't really work once said series becomes 10 years old. Of course, this can all be applied to Yoshi's New Island, being, as AntDude said, the first Yoshi's Island game in 8 years, and that number might as well be 19 since no one remembers DS. Nintendo seems to have lost interest in the word when the Switch era arrived, and the only things they made that used the word since was the New 2DS XL and New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe, both of which are just new versions of stuff Nintendo made during their obsession of the word, and I don't think anyone minds.

You should add Yoshi Topsy-Turvy to your next Yoshi video with Woolly World. I think it was very creative with the gyroscope/tilt sensor. Moreover, ever since I played Yoshi's Island on GBA, I was hankering for more and it sort of did the job for me when I was a kid. Keep it up BOI.

[@oliverhees4076]

I personally quite enjoy Yoshi's Woolly World (well, Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World). Though simple and overall easy, the music is good (and the amiibo are nice) and overall seems like a reskinned version of the original. I haven't played the original Yoshi's Island, but Poochy and Yoshi's World is a more than adequate replacement for me.

[@johnserrano4898]

Yoshi's wolly world and Yoshi's Island are completely different games, they have similar gameplay styles but the stages are all completely different

[@yoshiminer4289]

Oliver Hees Woolly World was a lot more enjoyable on the Wii U for me (having played both versions). The game was just made for a home console in mind, and things like the graphics were lost in the transition to the 3DS. I also wouldn’t say the game is easy when you’re trying to go for %100 (especially trying to get all those collectibles and full health on the special stages was brutal).

[@shadeknight6537]

Part of the reason why neither Yoshi's Island DS or New Island come remotely close to the near-perfection of the original is because they were both outsourced to other developers. DS was developed by Artoon, who no longer exists, while New Island was developed by Arzest, which tells you just how much Nintendo really cared about those two games. To me, Wooly World is the closest to a worthy successor to the original. I may not agree with every design decisions behind that game - I don't appreciate having to rub my nose against every square inch of every screen to find collectibles that used to be in plain sight in the original, and the bosses are just plain unacceptable - but it gets my respect for not rehashing the same plot for the fourth time while still remaining familiar.

[@altaparks3627]

well Donkey Kong and Kirby have been outsourced to other companies and those games were good so I don't think its that Nintendo didn't care about the Yoshi games and while Yoshi's island is great I think near-perfection is maybe to much credit.

[@likeanuuk6612]

yeah i very much disagree that being outsourced in of itself is a reason, but its very likely that nintendo heavily limited those companies's creative control over the game (a la, paper mario on the wii u)

[@GOLD-gr8hg]

Can you elaborate on why you dislike the bosses in wooly world because I have beat the original yoshi's island an unhealthy amount of times and the only problem I can think of is the reused bosses.

[@DaNintendude]

When DK was outsourced to other developers, they were honestly really cool. DK Jungle Climber was really good. it's just that Artoon/Artzest aren't too good. they can make a solid game, but it won't be too good.

[@Thomas-te2lg]

Interestingly Artoon primarily consisted of ex Sega employees from Sonic Team and Team Andromeda, and Arzest is primarily made up ex Sega and Artoon employees.

Yoshi's Island was definitely my favorite game growing. I remember being so excited when they re-released it on the Gameboy Advanced.

I wasn't sure why until I saw this video. So thank you for that.
