YOSHI'S ISLAND 2??????
This is unbelievable! ANOTHER new Mario-related platformer for the DS! And it has Baby Donkey Kong?!?
-
Finally. A Mario history lesson.
-
OMFGoodness... look!
http://e3src.nintendo.com/games/ds/yoshis_island_2/
It looks a LOT like the original!
-
If this turns out to be another of DS's mini-game games like Yoshi's Touch and Go I swear....
But it has a lot of the level designs from the first so that's good. The secondary screen seems iffy. Not being in the center of the screen ( or either of them ) like most other side scrollers could be a problem.
-
Yeah, it looks really similar. That's not a bad thing. I'm hoping it won't be too easy, Yoshi had 8 eggs in the video... Maybe we'll find out why Donkey Kong became a barrel-throwing guy with a motionless face.
-
I don't know. I'd like to see an adventure/platformer in which Baby Mario and Baby Luigi save Baby Peach
-
Wow. That's crazy. But it looks fun too. Hopefully not too easy though. I really don't like when Nintendo makes things too easy for younger kids.
How did Baby Mario come back to Yoshi's Island after the stork brought him back to his parents? And why didn't Luigi come too? Was he kidnapped with the other children? Does that mean that Mario's family moved to Yoshi's Island along with other humans? So many questions.
-
Geez, I'm going to die if Nintendo keeps announcing all these games that are greater than our existence. I no longer regret working 4 hours a day after school considering I'm going to need it all to afford all these games that reek of awesomeness.
-
I guess 2006 might be the "Platnium Year" ...or something
-
this game looks awesome. its funny that nintendo is making a sequal to an eleven year old game. but us fans havent forgot about it. know i just have to beat yoshis island 1 so i understand the story for the sequal. *grabs gameboy and plays away* by the way im on the level underground cave.
-
Personally I'm not keen on the idea of a 'baby DK'.
-
There was a Baby DK in the DKC TV show, so maybe Nintendo is going obscure or something.
-
**Spelling Lesson for MSM= platinum** (no offense)
I think my favorite game on the SNES was Yoshi's Island, and this will be definitely another of my favorite games. I wonder why they don't have Baby Luigi, too. Baby DK does seem a little odd.
-
It really seems like the baby characters' popularity is growing.
I really hope they put Baby Wario in this game...
-
Personally I'm not keen on the idea of a 'baby DK'.
Hehe. I hear ya. 'Can't stop it, though, so just go with the flow, I guess!
-
Wow.
I've haven't been this excited about a new release in AGES.
I am 100% definitely getting this when it comes out. I've always wanted a true sequel to YI.
-
Developer: Nintendo
Actually, it's Artoon.
-
i beat yoshis island. wow the last level rocks
anyways when yoshis island ended i thought how are there going to make a sequal. mario and luigi already have parents so is the story for YI2 just mario rides on yoshi for fun or something. and wheres luigi in the trailor. is it possible yoshis island 2 could be a prequal of yoshis island? or the might just forget the story from the first one.
-
Maybe the 'island school' is where all future heroes, damsels and villans are raised.
-
I'd have to agree that I'm not fond of "baby DK"
-
donkey kong didnt grow up in yoshis island! he doesnt live in a cute world he lives in a world thats kind of realistic but the characters arent at all realistic.
by the way is green yoshi the only playable yoshi? if there add different colored yoshis then you should be able to pick a yoshi like yoshis story and they should have special abilities instead of all being the same.
-
'Baby DK' is living proof that he is Craky's GRANDson, and not SON.
-
How's that? This Baby DK is existing in the past, in the same time frame as Baby Mario.
And the different-colored Yoshis are based on the level, like in Yoshi's Island.
-
Oh. So thats the baby version of the original DK. Not the DKC one. My mistake.
-
No.That is the current Donkey Kong in the process of growing up.
BLAH!This game is messing up Donkey Kong's origin!And I hate that. >=(
-
wow i didnt know the donkey kong story is so complex.
-
How the heck are we supposed to figure out if that's Cranky as a baby or Super DK as a baby?
-
Simple that is the current Donkey Kong .Only now his origin is being tampered with and is scrabbling all of our brains.
-
I'm guessing the Baby DK is Cranky, he's probably just a bit older then the other babies (and he's an ape meaning he ages faster) so it's more then likley him.
-
The baby looks a lot more like Super DK. We may only be able to tell if the baby is wearing a tie. Cranky never wore a tie.
-
If Cranky never wore a tie, then who is the DK in MvDK (the first one)? If he's Super DK, then why isn't Mario a lot older in MvDK than he was in the original arcade Donkey Kong?
I doubt this mystery can be solved, frankly.
-
Donkey Kong wore a tie in Game Boy Donkey Kong and the Game & Watch Gallery series, which featured Donkey Kong Jr.
-
But I thought that the DK in DK '94 was Cranky's son and the DK Jr. was Cranky's grandson who grew up to become Super DK.
-
If this game is nearly as good as the original, I'll be happy. Yoshi's Story was probably one of the biggest let-downs of all time.
As for the babies... I'm okay with them, surprisingly. Usually the babyfied characters [anger me], but I figure Yoshi's Island 2 will probably either take place in the past, or most likely the mysterious floating island is the cause of Yoshi's baby problems.
Artoon, don't screw this up!
-
But I thought that the DK in DK '94 was Cranky's son and the DK Jr. was Cranky's grandson who grew up to become Super DK.
No, it was just Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr.
-
forget about baby DK. how do we even know hes in the game?
-
Screenshots (http://e3src.nintendo.com/games/ds/yoshis_island_2/) are always a good indication.
-
oh ok. i just thought that was a monkey that jumps on you like in the first yoshis island
-
Looking at the videos here at TMK, I'm a bit sad that the boss didn't have that special kind of morphing like in the first Yoshi's Island (thanks to Super FX2). I am intrigued by baby DK. I would be perfectly happy if Nintendo forgot about the Rare continuity and treats current DK like original DK.
-
Rare split. Nintendo can do whatever they want with DK. Cranky isn't in that canon. Sorry to burst bubbles like that. Besides, Crankey's not even in the game! Why worry about it before it is even released? Crankey might be explained in the manual for all you know!
-
*Stumbles upon amazing news*
...?!
A sequel to one of the greatest games ever made...? Awesome. I think it's safe to call these games the "Super Mario World Trilogy" then. Assuming that Yoshi's Island 2 will have the alternate title of "Super Mario World 3." But yeah, the game looks amazing...I was thinking previously how wonderful it would be to play a sequel to Yoshi's Island, because I felt that Yoshi's Island was a bit too short. This sequel will be the perfect climax.
-
I'm just hoping Nintendo's new policy isn't "The more playable characters with unique moves, the better the game." In SSB maybe that's true...
You know, whenever I say "I'm not getting this game" about any game, I usually end up getting it anyway. So I won't say whether I'll get YI2 or not.
-
I guess they had to do something to differentiate it from it's predecessor. Besides, the SMB with multiple playable characters was SMB2.
-
Yoshi's Island only had the "Super Mario World 2" title in America. It isn't.
-
If I remember correctly, the Japanese box just said Super Mario: Yoshi's Island. I think it was intended as SMB5 or something.
-
deezer isint the developter artoon
-
I don't understand what you said.
-
I think he was asking Deezer if the developer was Artoon.
-
That make more sense than the way I first read it. I thought he was saying that "Deezer isn't the developer; Artoon is."
-
Yes, it helps if one uses punctuation, proper spelling, and capitalized letters. Here's what it should have been:
Deezer, isn't the developer Artoon?
-
sorry ill remember to
-
Here we go again.
-
Big LOL.............
There is a spell check, you know.
-
You talking to me?!
-
No, he was talking to jeevananthan.
-
Oh.

What? Was the kangaroo in the original?
-
No. It's a new game; there's bound to be a few new features.
-
That's not a Kangaroo! It's more of a cross between a puppy witha' huge salad bowl.
-
Hmm. Yoshi doesn't have a baby on his back in that screen. Maybe there are more sequences where you ride an animal....
-
Hmm... that sprite for the "kangaroo" looks sub-par, IMO. He doesn't look too bad, but he just doesn't match up to the quality of the other sprites in the game. I hope it will look better in the final version of the game.
-
It's not a kangaroo! It's a puppy fused with a salad bowl!
-
It's not a kangaroo! It's a puppy fused with a salad bowl!
I guess the sprite was so mediocore, I couldn't tell the difference.

Apparently Wario and Bowser will have roles... but no Luigi...?!
-
They probably couldn't think of any good abilities for Luigi.
