WHADDYA MEAN, you, are an insignificant NON LORE READER NUB!OBVIOUSLY YOU KNOW THAT BOWSER CAN RIP THROUGH TIME WITH HIS BUILT IN TIME MACHINE IN HIS CASTLE!? DID YOU NOT SEE IT IN THE WII U BOSS CASTLE AT THE END? This comment probably has more explanation than originally how bowser randomly did that. Also, y would they capture an innocent stork.. Whaddathey do capture storks and trap them into cages now?

[@Sky-oh2my]

That's dissapointing.. The whole baby bowser battle lasted 3 minutes, random bowser lasted longer than that..

[@theubercannon]

The problem is, getting yourself killed in the past would mean there's no way you can exist anymore in the future, therefore, you're basically erasing yourself from existence. But if Bowser apparently never dies anyway, that would *drastically* change his existence.

I haven't played this game, but it looks like Bowser is trying to kill off Mario before he grows up so he isn't much of a "problem".

[@ProfessorHeavy1]

It's not that he can't do it that bothers me; it's that it's one of the most lamest excuses for just shoehorning Bowser into the fight. It's so weird and insane that it's laughable. And when you consider that Bowser is a giant turtle that can turn even BIGGER when he falls into lava, it's just crazy. Bowser was already full of tricks and surprises, but this is so stupid.

[@tylerfindlay3774]

How did he even plan this?! Was Kamek just like, Kamek: Hey Bowser, remember that time when you were young and you got beat up by Yoshi and baby Mario? Bowser: Vaguely, why? Kamek: wanna go back in time and try again? Bowser: eh, why not? I got nothin’ better to do.

[@AmySmith-km9ub]

Nintendo didn't make it they just published it.

[@OldKnightSai]

Like most of you are saying; this bossfight is a joke compared to the original. With the SNES version you had to deal with 2 MAJOR obstacles. The platforms didn't "go up and down", they flat out vanished. He would summon rocks to fall form the sky, making the area you stood on smaller and smaller until there were just a small number of narrow pillars. The second problem was it was a race against time. B.Bowser was off in the distance and kept running progressivly closer, getting faster the more you hit him. Not only did that provide a sense of urgency, but you had to gauge the distance of the shot or risk throwing the egg to short or over his head. It's wasn't some leisurely "I'll just keep jumping and dodging until he gives me another opening" cream puff fight. If he got to you, you died. if you fell down the hole, you died... oh and did I mention he shoots fireballs at you the entire time while doing this?

[@kevin17695]

That's what makes it fun. The challenge. The feeling of fear that you're about to mess up and die from bowser as he becomes closer and closer while your enviroment is slowly being destroyed by rocks from the sky seems alot more enjoyable and fun to play than a "Oh my, lets make it super easy by keeping the area nice and easy and make it easier to destroy bowser and PLUS lets make it less interesting and intimidating compared to the SNES version."

I agree with you, I do prefer the original than this one in yoshi's new story. And I have to say that put yoshi island in but made a sukier version of it (in my opinion)

[@Amy-nb1jj]

I do understand your opinion about it, yet i personally think that it's a nice kind of ''dedication'' to an old favorite. automaticly resulting in you wanted to play the old one again, if you played it before that is. i wish they made this boss different, but i don't hate it either, the old yoshi's island was already perfect, wasn't much to be fixed or to make even better. they tried giving you the same feel you had all those years ago with a slightly different mechanic (steel eggs), i personally think they did a fine job.

[@danterik9781]

nicebigboo In the snes version. You can only beat him by stomping the floor that sends waves of floor boards from both sides. Nothing else can damage him. Then when he is gigantic, you need to wait for floating eggs so you can shoot him, while you wait, he trys to shoot you with massive fireballs. And walks towards you. When he gets too close, the platforms all collapse, and its impossible to shoot him in the head from a short distance so he can back off a little. Also as he takes damage he breaks the platforms with rocks so they are even smaller. Literaly every step can make you fall off into an abyss. While you try to dodge his fireballs you can fall off, at the same time you need to colect eggs and shoot him.(yeah its really hard, thats why its so much better). As much as you shoot, him he will be a moving target and will start running LIKE HELL TOWARDS YOU when hes low on health. Oh and its not that easy to hit him like on this crappy game.

[@qwertyexp]

Stephen Walsh Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and screw whatever company for making this.

[@dashmash2233]

Stephen Walsh but they were responisible fort it. I consider Metroid Prime to be a fairly good game and of course not just because Retro Studios are quite good, but also because Nintendo knew they'd pull that thing off with grace. If Nintendo lets other studios do stuff with their franchises, they should better watch out as not everyone might be able to deliver. Especially if it's something so bound to an initial style and charm as Yoshi's Island. In the case of Metroid Prime, Retro Studios just got the mission to create a complete own franchise out of that series with their own camera angle and own mechanics. While these decisions were still made by Nintendo, that switch of paradigms enabled Retro to deliver something, that didn't necessarily have to fit into Metroid's style at 100%, just as Donkey Kong didn't have too much to do with the vintage Donkey Kong. So if letting some less familiar devs develop a keyfranchise, they could have just come up with something that would give them a bit more freedom to unfold their own style.

[@ThatTravGuy]

The reason the original Baby Bowser fight was so good was because you felt the suspense from Baby Bowser slowly approaching you, knowing you only have so much time to defeat him before he tramples the arena down with you on it, as well as him slowly destroying the arena with rocks before he even gets to you. Your first time playing that boss fight was full of "Oh Crap! He's getting close!" Then you have this, which is more "when do I get another shyguy to hit him with?".

Pre-rendered sprites.... This... This is everything Shigeru Miyamoto didn't want. They completely ruined the style of the original game. The original had everything stylized, as if it was all drawn with crayons, it worked together and had a unique look. In this, the sprites appear to be pre-rendered. It doesn't add to the style or artistic look, and instead makes them stand out and appear out of place. The atmosphere is ruined... Even the final boss they ruined. The idea of him being far away, but running up to you really gave you that sense of panic. Like, you knew it was bad and you had to keep him away. You didn't want him to get near you. In this, they just changed the boss completely, made it a common pattern like in any other regular game and just... Ugh, so many things have been done wrong. How could they not have the awesome music??? I have nothing against remakes, but if you're going to remake the game, how about remaking the parts of the game that people loved instead of butchering it.....

[@Kohchu]

- Sees info for Yoshi's New Island - - Clicks to watch - - Sees comments bitching about how it's not as good as the original - - ....Really? - Do you know why it's not as good as the original? Because, its NOT the original. If you want to play the original, play it. It still holds up today, with it's unique art style and gameplay controls. This was an attempt at retelling the story with a new design style, while still staying loyal to the original design. If they had just released the same game with updated graphics, people would say they are being lazy, so they released something new with the same story, and people bitch it's not as good as the original. So what is as good as the original? How does one surpass the original? Since Nostalgia makes things 200% better than they actually were; it's rather hard to say, or it's just flat out impossible. So perhaps you should think "Wow, Nintendo cared enough to take a game that we all cherished and loved, and try retelling things with a different style too it." over "Nintendo ruined it."

[@AustinOnSugar]

And with that I direct you to my reply to Robi Constantin. It's not the ideas in place in YNI, it's how they're used. This isn't nostalgia talking (since I didn't play the original until a few years ago), this is common sense in game design.

[@Kohchu]

AustinOnSugar Okay, in that sense, I can see your point. I can see why people would get steamed by Nintendo reusing old set pieces and making them worse, but still; nothing ever pleases anybody anymore.

[@AustinOnSugar]

TheShadowlord90 It depends on who you ask. I'd like to think I'm not blinded by nostalgia (preferring the final bosses of NSMBW and SM3DW over anything pre-Yoshi's Island, as an example), but there's no denying that when technology and capacity were limited, developers made every second of their game count (this is probably most apparent with music in older games, but the theory applies to really every facet). Furthermore, the retro-obsessed nostalgia-whiners you're talking about are, from my experience, the vocal minority. And, much like infamous "Genwunners" of the Pokemon fanbase, are fewer in number than they'd like you to believe. I guess much of the disagreement boils down to opinion and viewpoint. Where you see "reimagining," I see "thoughtless rehashing," and this vocal minority sees "copout." The moral is, I suppose, that not everyone can be pleased with anything. As a developer, Arzest aimed to appeal to what they hoped would be the paying majority, and miscalculated grievously.

[@Kohchu]

AustinOnSugar Yes, I see your point, and very well made. A lot of developers now of days act like if they rehash old things, everybody will just like it instantly and ignore shortcomings. A great example of this was the Throwback Galaxy from Super Mario Galaxy 2. Did recreating Whomp's Fortress really excuse the fact that Galaxy 2 reused the same plot and gameplay mechanics? Really, no. At the same time though, I grew up with the NES, so I know how important things were in the old days. As you said, designers back than had limitations they had to work around, so problems with the older games were mostly caused by limitations. Honestly, I played NSMBWii and thought it was the best Mario game to date, no complaints there. Though it did copy a lot from Mario 3, which might have added to that. Thing is, it was subtle about it, and I think that is what some games do better than others. Subtle nods to the old games are more well received than ripping entire sequences and reusing them for no other reason than "Fans liked this, let's use it again."

[@AustinOnSugar]

TheShadowlord90 I couldn't agree more. NSMBW struck the perfect balance of throwback and innovation, and as I see it should serve as the guideline for any game meaning to capitalize on nostalgia. On the subject of Whomp's Fortress, it stands as a sort of rule in game design that when the best level/world/gimmick of your game didn't originally come from said game, there's a problem. Nostalgia is a tool used best to heighten an experience, not carry it. And I suppose that's my big problem with Yoshi's New Island: the best parts of the game really stem from the good memories I had with the original, while doing nothing innovative or even impressive as a standalone title. As a follow-up, it doesn't hold up to either predecessor. As a game on its own, it just doesn't hold up.

[@ShadowReaper1227X]

I was really exited to see that they brought this boss back... Then I saw how anticlimactic they made it. The old one was metal and WAY more intense. This is a huge let-down.

The lore about the secret ending: In case you don't know, Mr. Pipe is Mario in disguise. He came back in time to prevent Kamek from kidnapping the baby versions of himself and his brother Luigi. Instead of stopping himself, he aids Yoshi in stopping Kamek, Baby Bowser and Adult Bowser. If that never happened, Bowser can kidnap Princess Peach without anyone standing in his way.

[@SergeiEisenstein]

If I had arrived to this after experiencing the SNES version, my first reaction would have been, "I want my money back". They could have done a unique and (somewhat) original boss battle, with added degrees of intensity and urgency, much like what greeted us back in Yoshi's Island. Instead they simply rehashed it and made it look piss weak in every regard. And holy shit, what bland children's story time theme crap did they substitute for that original epic background rock music? I still can't believe that the game falls so low that it has to straight out say "Bowser appeared just because!" in order to justify him being shoehorned into a Mario title (and into the same style battle which you just finished). This is a prime example of why Nintendo needs to do new things.

[@thisiswhatilike54]

Take out the wicked metal-esque fight music - The best upbeat, intense fight theme that the SNES could offer. Take out half the danger of getting hurt or lose a life - Original had gigantic rocks take out most of your platform. The new boss fight doesn't, instead alters the height, without taking anything out. Even a wave of lava washing over the floor every time Baby Bowser stomped around would've been welcome. Swap out the mostly black or silhouetted background for more colorful beasts and environment - Less mystery, less panic, more... "fun". A stupid copout for a part deux boss fight - "A wild BOWSER appeared!" That's just off the top of my head. What else am I missing?
