Oh yes!

I loved the original so much. Maybe Nintendo made this because of all the stick they got from the under par Touch & Go.

Can't wait for this though!

im expecting it to be good but why did they have to change the graphical style?

-Have you any idea what it's like to be a Fembot living in a Manbot's Manputer's world?
-What?

This is going to be fantastic.

And Yoshi's Touch & Go rocked!

I liked Yoshi Touch & Go, but THIS IS THE YOSHI GAME I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.

Oh my god

The graphics look the same as Yoshi Touch & Go, hopefully they'll make them a bit more detailed & like the first Yoshi Island over time. Also the gameplay style looks like Sonic Rush, over 2 screens.

GOD, BABY Princess Peach looks HOT Smilie

Nice and bright, just the way i wanted it.

I also enjoyed Touch and Go, but it didnt have the same sort of appeal as Yoshi's Island/Story.

... WHY.

I really can't see much of a change in graphics. It just looks like a slightly tweaked up version of YI to me Smilie

Oh wow, the true follow-up after the excellent (if shortlived) Story and Touch & Go! Smilie

Same here Ben, slightly different in character models but the backgrounds are the same.

I don't quite understand WHY Donkey Kong is in this. If they had to have three, could they not have just shoved baby Luigi in?

The Mariner 10.05.2006#12

It would make much more sense. I don't like the way theres a baby character for everyone now. Baby Mario was enough in my opinion, and Luigi.

James2t3 10.05.2006#13

WHAT!? DONKEY KONG IS IN IT!!! Damm i missed that detail. I guess it's kinda cool to have the Kong mixed in properly with the mario universe again instead of only appearing only in the sports titles.
