Fuck you I liked it
i almost liked it.
I don't like it.
>>729882376I did an all melon run a few months ago and now I never want to touch this piece of shit game again.
I liked renting it and eventually bought it on the wii virtual console. I've only played Yoshi's Story and its sequels, never played Island.
It's a neat little game. Probably the second best yoshi game (although Yoshi Island beats it by miles).I think the negative views comes from the era it was released. Back then you had a much better selection of games and to pay full price (or waste a rental) on this probably left people with a bad taste. I inherited this game from my siblings so I didn't care and just had fun. I also love older prerendered artstyles but some people dislike it and prefer shitty yarn or something. For me a lot of modern 2.5d games have too much depth and background noise, and really ugly lighting. This game doesn't (although the aliasing is pretty bad and noticeable on modern tvs).
>>729883190also no one went for the melon only stuff and considered the game too easy for it
>>729882906island is a beautiful game
I rented it and beat it within 2 days.Far too easy.
It has the best creature design and aesthetics in the Mario series. I genuinely want to draw monsters like this.

>>729883594so serenepost more gifs if you have them
>>729883190I must have been 6 or 7 when I first played it but I think its a good game. Probably one of the best 2D platformers games targetted towards kids or casual play.Before the N64 I had a Sega Megadrive/Genesis and shit like Revenge of Shinobi, Streets of Rage even Sonic being unforgiving meant I rarely got to.the end of them. Playstation had Rayman that fucking hates the player after the furst few levels.So to have a game that played well, had nice looking graphics, had lots of secrets/exploration and you would likely get to the ending in one session kept me coming back to it.
Making the Yoshis infants was a bad move, it should have just been a sequel (chronologically) to Yoshi's Island with a bigger threat, not Bowser but a new threat. Keep the Mario elements but make new stuff specifically tied to Yoshi down to the villain itself.
>>729886006I dont mind them being infants in this game. I just hate that the baby voice became the standard for how they talk in everything.
>>729882376I have no idea what the shit is going on in this game
Beta looked betterShould have been longer than 5 short levels a play throughShould have focused more on the super Mario world 2 Yoshi's island fanbase instead of toddlers
>>729889945I love that art style. I can't say they aren't trying anymore but there's something about modern games that look flat.
>>729891745that background looks nice, I wonder if they could have made the characters look the same. yoshi especially completely stands out in a bad way.
bump
>>729882376i just like shy guys
>>729882376I liked the soundtrack. I wish somebody would port it to SMW for rom hacks.
>>729882376>start level>eat watermelons in a straight line>YOU WON!zzzzzzzzzzzzz
>>729888427That's where the voices play in, doing away with them being infants immediately solves that problem.
>>729895147I miss the super mario world yoshi sound before they fucking talked
>>729882376My favorite game to rent in the 90s when I was a kid
>>729884348I can fucking believe thats everyoneAll of the sprites on one page?
>>729882376People only hated it at the time because of picrel. Everyone now associated the dawn of the 3D console with Mario 64, and so for a premium price, everyone expected a fully fledged 3D game, which the boxart implies that it is. Then when you pop the cart in and get a 2D baby game, of course people are going to be pissed.
Yoshi's Island was so much better. Even back then new tech wasn't a guarantee for a better game.
>>729882480For fuck's sake Reggie get it together
>>729882376klonoa mogsmischief makers mogsskullmonkies mogsgoemons great adventure mogsgame sucks. "you can play this easy game made for 5 year olds in a very slow and tedious way as you sniff every random part of the level for melons so the game is hardcore bro" is mental illness in the extreme
>>729898339>everyoneit's notHere's another page with a couple that aren't there. And there's more.
>>729900481Game is unfiltered sovl.Wish I knew who drew this. Maybe it's in the credits.
>>729882376It's fine. Yoshi's Island wasn't even good anyway.
>>729889945There are 24 levels...
>>729882376I remember being frustrated as fuck trying to get the purple yoshiOtherwise, I played this a lot as a kid and occasionally revisit
