Yoshi's Touch and Go

[Mattigus]

I thought this game was going to be really good, but after reading some reviews, I'm starting to think otherwise. Has anybody else (Warbie) played this game, and what do you have to say about it?

 

[Warbie]

Still waiting for mine to ship.

It's definately a score attack game - if the idea of trying to master the game and in order to beat your previous score doesn't do it for you then this is probably one to avoid.

Still - it's something new, and I'm looking forward to it

I can understand that, considering there are very few DS games, even fewer good ones.

Bit like another handheld I can think of

Give the console some time (it's not even released in some countries yet)

Once Advance Wars DS, Animal Crossing (online \o/), FF6 remake, Mario Kart, and many of the other promising titles in production come out, we'll be in a better position to make a judgement.

//back on topic.

Opinions from ppl who've played |Yoshi's Touch and Go are sounding very promising. I'm a big fan of score based games, and will be suprised if this isn't good fun.

I'm super-hyped about this game. It looks set to be the next great Yoshi game. Although I don't know why we had to start out as Yoshi in SM64DS.

Just don't expect SMW2.

 

[Reginald]

I'm expecting more...Yoshi's (World was it?) The one for N64 anyway. That sort of quality.

 

[Warbie]

The N64 Yoshi's Island was very poor compared to the original on the snes (SMW2)

A new side scrolling Mario/Yoshi game on the GC would be very welcome.

I think it is sad that side-scrolling is dead with the new consoles. I still whip out my retro consoles for a bit of side-scrolling action.

The closest you can get on Gamecube is Luigi's Mansion and Wario World.

Agreed.

New Sonic and Mario games would be excellent. Just imagine how nice and crisp 2d scrollers could look on modern hardware. Old school gameplay with loads of neat graphical touches

(have you played Viewtiful Joe? - along with Metal Slug - this is the only great 2d title i've played in ages)

 

[Reginald]

I loved Viewtiful Joe. Damn hard, but worth it all in the end. I'm also looking forward to getting Metal Slug for my GBA. And the new Mario sidescroller for DS.

Maybe we'll get lucky and Mario 128 will be a sidescroller in full next-gen-o-vision.

 

[Warbie]

That would be nice - but it's doubtful.

If Nintendo put the effort they put in for SMW on the SNES into the new Mario DS title it could turn out to be one of the best games of recent times

 

[Reginald]

Now all we need is a good Sonic game to top it off. Sonic Advance 1, 2 and 3 were mediocre. The three 3D iterations were apalling. And I am still waiting anxiously for the next Wario Land for GBA (or DS)

I think the classic games that best survived the transfer to 3D were Mario, Zelda, Metroid and Wave Race. Sonic died, Donkey Kong is dying and the most recent F-Zero was a poor show compared with the majesty of X. We can only hope that the next true Starfox will redeem Adventures (Rare's last middle finger)

Sorry for the scrappy, disorderly nature of the post, but I am tired.
