I was super excited when I saw the headline. I'm not so sure after looking at the pics. Where did the cutesy drawing style go? I'm sure gameplay will still be fantastic though.

Not keen on the graphics of this also, I don't think the art translates well on 3DS, it lacks the strong pixelated outlines of the original and GBA game. I'm glad we have a sequel though, I was hoping for one. Nintendo sent me a questionnaire on the DS game after I bought it, I was very derisory. The game was terrible, it was clearly made for very young kids.

Well we both know stills don't do justice to final product. To be honest I am excited for this....except for my bleeding ears if Nintendo ends up using the same Mario WHAAAA WHAAAAA WHAAAA WHAAA WHAAAA WHAAAA sounds.

This describes how my ears feel perfectly. http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=193

It is not wise to speak on subjects you do not know all facts about, nor is it smart to judge a game based on looks alone. PSN: Nintendo_Gamer 3DS: 4296-3029-7422

Indeed. Was disappointed in Yoshi's Island DS. Lacked the challenge of the original, and the soundtrack was pants. Really wasn't keen on the multiple babies, either.

But I dunno, I'm hoping once we have it in our hands, this won't look as rough. I quite liked the look of the Yoshi's Story alpha, which this reminds me of. Hopefully it won't look as pixellated when released. It seemed quite early on from the demo they showed.
