Title: Yoshi's Island 2 renamed
Post by: Deezer on October 04, 2006, 10:24:37 PM: Today, Nintendo of America revealed that Yoshi's Island 2 has been renamed Yoshi's Island DS (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/yids). In this sequel to Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/smw2), Baby Mario, Baby DK, Baby Wario, and Baby Peach team up with the Yoshis to find Baby Luigi, who has been captured by Kamek. Yoshi's Island DS will release in the US on November 13.

Post by: Robert on October 05, 2006, 01:55:26 PM: Yoshi's Island DS, eh? I'd perfer Yoshi's Island 2. Nintendo could've at least had a creative subtitle, like Yoshi's Island: Dark School. Okay, that sucks, but you get the idea.

Also, Nintendo released what appeared to be a near-final version box art for the game, so why just suddenly change the name?

Post by: Luigison on October 05, 2006, 03:03:02 PM: I agree. Yoshi's Island DS makes it seem like a remake like SM64DS instead of the sequel that it is. Yoshi's Island: Deep Secret would be a cool name since <spoilerz> the game reveals what "L is Real" means. Heh.

Post by: Mr. Wiggles on October 05, 2006, 08:56:49 PM: Well, DS and 2 are both redundant titles. I would've prefered a real subtitle.

Yes, indeed it has, but at least it would've been better than just slapping "DS" at the end of the title.

Post by: Nintendo Bros. on October 06, 2006, 01:46:33 PM: Let's see how many games end in DS:

Mario Kart DS
Super Mario 64 DS
New Super Mario Bros. is really considered as Super Mario Bros. DS
Tetris DS
Yoshi's Touch n Go (It relates to the DS)

There really isn't much games that end with DS. Only 6 I can name off the bat.

Of course it relates to the DS, it's a DS game.
