Yoshi’s most intriguing (not to mention somewhat unique) skill is to morph into a variety of different vehicles to tackle his environment. There’s heap of unique enemies and there’s heaps of unique battles in Yoshi’s Island, and it’s what makes Yoshi’s Island so fun to play so many years on – nostalgia or not. Boss battles require players to line up shots, ricochet items, or not use eggs at all. The inclusion of eggs as a battle mechanic really helps give the combat a unique feel. The egg targeting system is just as precise as you remember it (more so than Yoshi’s New Island, which didn’t really allow for twitch movements) and really provides a level of uniqueness to Yoshi’s Islands combat system, if you can call it that. He can eat enemies to produce eggs, and use said eggs as projectiles to not only defeat enemies, but sold puzzles. Yoshi can ground pound, flattening the most persistent of enemies as well as certain pieces of the environment. Obviously, playing as Yoshi is quite a benefit to Baby Mario as he’s much more agile than the struggling infant and brings a few new combat and movement abilities to the table. The story is pretty unoriginal and to this day is, more or less, a “save the person” storyline but it does a good job at plodding the player along. Each Yoshi has one simple task – to transport an up and coming Baby Mario from level to level to save his brother, who Mario was separated from after a bumpy ride aboard the Stork. Yoshi’s Island opens with a rather typical Nintendo storyline, where players find themselves controlling a group of Yoshi. It’s the Game Boy Advance version, of course, but how does it play on the Wii U? We’ve had Yoshi’s New Island, which was met with a somewhat cold reception, and now we have the Virtual Console release of Yoshi’s Island. Obviously, the game met all expectations and perhaps even exceeded some. Given Nintendo’s consistently good record for games that aspire to these qualities, there’s no reason to believe that, back in it’s day, Yoshi’s Island wouldn’t have lived up to the hype. Combining this with the Mario titles shown on the console, it was quite obvious (at the time, of course) that these games were doing a great job at pushing the Game Boy Advance hardware to their limits.īut outside of the technical merits of the console itself, one aspect of Nintendo’s Mario titles were that they were always great in terms of game design. The original tech demo for Yoshi’s Story that appeared prior to the Game Boy Advance’s official release was generally greeted with enthusiasm by those who managed to see it both in person and now online.
