Will get it when it goes on sale ;)


how would it ever go on sale? you know how stubborn nintendo is with the prices of their games. i usually buy nintendo games the week they release and i have never seen a sale on them before. is a sale for yoshis new island feasible at all?

you kidding? NSMB2, Star fox 643d, mario and luigi, paper mario just to name a few all on sale. Where you been? hell with Yoshi i expect the price to drop in the summer

i just have always bought nintendo games at full price and never checked to see what the prices went to later. i also work at a used video game store, so we never see new games. all our nintendo-made 3ds games are at least 30 dollars all the time and whenever i go to gamestop and check the nintendo section, the majority of all nintendo made games keep their price and i have never witnessed one of these 'sales'  before. 

Amazon...its your friend

I liked the DS game ( shocking I know!), so I might give this one a chance later on!

I have been playing Yoshis New Island the past few days myself, borrowed my brothers game, he bought it. It's definitely better than the ratings it has got. The graphics look horrible in still images but in motion it's beautiful. There's more than three songs too, at least 6-7 plus remixed versions. By remixed I mean very different. The main tune which is in many of the songs is good too, composed very nicely. Good use of 3D.

It's not all good though, the controls feel much heavier than the old ones for example. But overall it's a good game which deserves better scores in my opinion. It's also harder than I thought.

On world 4 so far.

world 4? wait until you get to 6, i really feel like it ties the entire experience together. that may sound dramatic, but i really felt like everything you have done in the game before that point has prepared you to take on that world. the game does a nice job challenging you in various ways throughout the game to prepare you for the onslaught that it world six and its secret level (i am of course speaking from the context of collecting everything in the levels).

also, i do recommend using the gyroscope. it makes the gameplay more, for lack of a better word, intense. i know people hate when motion gets involved with gaming, so if youre one of those, then youre more than likely not going to take to it. but if youre open minded with it, i think it could enhance the experience for you.


Wow, just turned on the gyroscope in options, it's perfect! You don't have to wait until the cursor gets back down when you're trying to hit an enemy which is moving. It has the perfect speed and sensitivity too.

 

I guess I'm somewhat open minded to motion controls then :) Didn't know there was such an option, thank you!!



Yep.

you don't even need a "sale" for it, Gamestop here sell Star Fox64 for €8.88 new... they have done for the past 6 months now.

youre welcome :P

im glad you like it. i think it makes the game feel way more immersive, and you can pull off certain things way quicker. like jumping while aiming while shooting. youre going to need that to get some of the red coins in levels like terrain train (world 2 secret level).
