/vr/ - Retro Games

No, it's awful.

Yes, very much so. It's not as good as Island, but the amount of hate it gets is a bit ridiculous.
At least Japan loves it.

No. Games like Baroque (for Saturn/PS1) are underrated. Games like Yoshi's Story, which sold like a million copies and was popular enough to be referenced over and over in games like Smash Bros, are not "underrated" - I'd say they are hugely disproportionately talked about and acclaimed solely because of it being a popular IP. There are countless games that have had bad reviews or low sales that will never be discussed or even have the chance of being re-evaluated, and those are the ones that are underrated, not this.

"Super Mario World 2 is too hard!! Yoshi games shouldnt be hard!" *Yoshi's Story comes out*
"NO Not like that!"

>>6754795
i never played it before

>>6754846
It's a cool but weird game.
On a casual playthrough it will seem as if it's short and easy as fuck, but the real meat of the game is unlocking more levels (initially you can only play 6, of 24 in total) and then playing for score.

>>6754849
>>6754846
and man do some of those levels get difficult if memory serves me right. Especially in the jungle.

>>6754795
hated it on release. expected it to be as great as yoshi's island was. NOPE. sold that shit after a week.

>>6754795
Yes because it's a much better game than the turd that is Yoshi's Island.

>>6754859
Yeah, pic related is a fairly difficult level full of instakill stuff everywhere and tricky enemies.

>>6754887
based anti-YI obsessoposter, I knew you would post here.

>>6754891
I'm fill with memories of a young me freaking out over Yoshi being eaten.

>>6754795
I’ll admit that I hated it.

>>6754849
How does the scoring system actually work? Am I supposed to only eat my lucky fruit?

>>6754916
>freaking out over Yoshi being eaten
>freaking out
yeah haha that’s how i reacted to it too haha "freaking out" haha

>>6754952
No, melon only. There's exactly 30 per level.
Also, you can keep increasing your score by chaining egg shots with shy guys that match your color. The more shyguys you get down in a single strike, the higher the count goes.

It's got problems. But it's fine. I wouldn't call it underrated though.
Would be great if melon runs were actually fun.

>>6754828
Who are you quoting? Nobody has ever said that.

>>6754795
I dont think its underrated. It had its problems. Compared to smb 1-3, smw, yoshis island its just not that good. Thats just my opinion, but it seems like at least some people agree with me. I didnt like colleceting melons to finish a stage. It seemed easy to get all the levels. Very little replay value once all levels are unlocked and its not a long game. Yoshis voice got annoying, it seems kinda kid oriented. Its playable, its not like its an awful hackjob, but it doesnt have the 2d mario/yoshi’s island quality and touch imo. If it wasnt a first party nintendo game I dont think anyone would still talk about it.

>>6754795
dont quite understand this game, bgm almost non existent for what i played, you skip a entire world upon eating the fruits, i dont know man.

Ya, I just saw TerminalMontage’s video on this too

>that soundtrack
>that ending/credits music

Lol its so weird for me to see this game so hated on today as back in my friend circle as a kid EVERYONE loved it, it was one of the only N64 games I payed much attention to outside of macarena del tiempo

When I was a kid I liked how you could pick your favorite color of Yoshi. Yoshi's Island didn't let you do that, but Mario World let you have three different Yoshis and I liked that too.

God I was autistic, I really loved Yoshi.

My favorite color was Light Blue btw

>>6756498
I had stuffed toy yoshis in 4 colors man, I know what you mean

No. Sonyfags are too inexplicably butthurt to ever let that happen.

>>6756504
Found the nintenmonthold

>>6756498
Light blue was the best colour you picked well

This was always my favourite Yoshi game and I spent hours on the SNES Yoshi back in the day.

Yoshi's Story is perfect and feels like its own thing while having copious amounts of soul, which is sorely lacking in modern Yoshi.

>>6754795
Ok, sure.

>>6754795
It sux. *takes a dump in your mouth*

>>6754954
H-How did I post this? I just found out about this thread today.

The sniffing mechanic is retarded

>>6754795
>can we admit it's underrated?

Naw, it gets the recognition it deserves.
Yoshi's Story isn't, like, "amazing", Yoshi's Island is WAY fucking better, but story is easy, cute, fun, and has a really solid squishy 3d aesthetic that I would have loved to have stayed.

I'm constantly annoyed and befuddled by how Yoshi is the one that has to suffer through all these stylistic changes.

>>6758962
yeah haha so gay and retarded haha what would yoshi even want to smell anyway haha let’s think of gross stuff that yoshi would smell haha like as a joke for fun haha
