Does the post title "NEW Yoshi Game" mean anything to you?

What qualifies a game as "2-D with 3-D graphics", anyway?

What's to explain? BP said that Yoshi's Story has 2-D graphics, but it's clearly 2-D/3-D. Viewtiful Joe? Kirby 64? What makes the cut here?

Super Smash Bros. consists of three-dimensional models bound to a two-dimensional plane.

Yoshi's Story consists of two-dimensional sprites bound to a two-dimensional plane.

However, those two dimensional sprites started out as three dimensional models. So I guess we could call it "fake 3d".

Another example: New Super Mario Bros.

The Yoshi's story sprites are prerendered, like SMRPG or Donkey Kong Country. But after having been rendered to bitmap as they are, they have only two dimensions so I'm really not wanting to like goodie's made up term.
That was a joke.

It's basically 2.5D

I think that when it came out, it was actually promoted as 21/2-D (which I thought was pretty neat at the time).

I haven't played the game in years -- I remembered them as 3-D :/

No. It's not hard to understand. Up and down is one dimension. Left and right is the other. They have no depth. There is no third dimension. There is a first and a second. That makes two. They're sprites and exist in two dimensions. There are no halves. They have shading that makes them look kind of three-dimensional, but it is an illusion. They are flat. And thusly 2-D. Not 2.5-D or 3-D.

There are "2.5D" games though, BP. Maybe like Viewtiful Joe or Super Paper Mario.
That was a joke.

But you call it that when there is some 3-D and some 2-D involved. Yoshi's Story, however, has no 3-D involved.
