The N64 title Yoshi's Story has been released for the Virtual Console here in North America.

If you haven't played this yet, the game is a more arcade-like take on a Mario platformer.  As Yoshi, eat fruit, toss eggs, and stop Shy Guys as you try to stop the evil baby Bowser from doing whatever it was he did this time.  The game features prerendered graphics (much like the Donkey Kong Country series, but at a much higher quality) and "two dimensional" gameplay.

The game is a bit on the short side, but it does offer a good chunk of replay value due to the structure of the levels - each world has several levels, but you only play one level each time you progress through the game.  Your level options are dependent on how well you play...

Yoshi's Story is a fun little platformer, but don't go in expecting Super Mario Bros. 3 or Yoshi's Island.

Oh yes, I nearly forgot...

EEE-AAAAAAA-UH-NOOOO .....  EEE-AAAAAAA-UH-NOOOO .... EEE-AAAAAAA-UH-NOOOO ...EEE-AAAAAAA-UH-NOOOO!
