Forums - Nintendo - EDGE gives Yoshi's New Island 4/10 [62 on Metacritic]

SnowPrince on 13 March 2014

I read another review and says same. Lack of new things.
But anyways people should buy it to try it out, I never played a Yoshi game myself, not very popular in here.

Right now I'm thinking they should forget any ideas of a "Year of Yoshi". If the games are going to be getting secondary treatment, why even bother? Besides, it would be better for them if the did a "Year of [something non-Mario-related]" for a change.

I can't wait for "Year of new IPs"

Pikmin was too long ago now :(



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Wait, I thought nintendo didnt make bad games....quick lets blame the gaming press.

I can't choose which is worse, the game or this comment.

 

OT: Another proof that Year of Yoshi will be a waste of time. Year of Samus-Metroid/Link-Zelda is the right option.


Year of Zelda please (hopefully launch Zelda U before the end of FY 2014?)

Because Nintendo doesn't have enough inhouse developers, you silly kid.

Then maybe they should hire someone that is actually good. Or they can do it themselves, it's not like every one of their developers is currently/was working on something.

I did, I even live in the EU so had them earlier :P However, none of those are actual Nintendo (as in in house) games.

Isn't Xenoblade the 3rd game in the Xeno**** set? (Xenogear PS1 and Xenosaga PS2)

I did enjoy Pandora's Tower, great use of the Wii Remote, but again, more 2nd party affair rather than an actual Nintendo game, much like I don't consider Banjo Kazooie/Conker/Jet Force Gemini etc actual Nintendo games.

Graphics always looked terrible to me.. Also, the Metascore isn't horrible for Yoshi. I mean, Yoshi's Story doesn't have a great score either.

Yeah, the Yoshi games have never been critical darlings. Even "Island" was disliked in its day.


I was a baby when the original Yoshi's Island came out, so I never experienced the never hype for it, but I can understand how impressive it was on an artistic and technical level. The thing is, when I went back and played it, it just didn't feel that fun. I didn't like the art direction (yes, not even the art direction of the original) and found the gameplay to be dull and slow-moving. I got my hopes up for this game when I saw a lot of the same neat mechanics that people seemed to liked in the trailers, but it looks like it wasn't enough. Though, I have to wonder if people just got turned off by the art style (which I think is actually quite appropriate for the game) and the initial. Regardless, it seems like I'll be skipping this one. On to Kirby: Triple Deluxe!

Not a good start for the Year of Yoshi as far as EDGE is concerned.

Pretty much. Granted, the Year of Yoshi isn't anything official yet.

Nintendolife gave it a 5/10... Yea wasn't excited b4 and not excited now either

I just hope this means that 2014 won't be the year of yoshi and instead be something better


Year of Zelda! *knocks at Kyoto headquarters*

I like how EDGE says the controls are unresponsive, but IGN says the controls are sharp....
Cant believe anyones review, just will have to buy it and judge myself.
