[Anonymous No.8339216]

Yoshi's Island is one of the most depressing games I've ever played. You got that beautiful, cheerful art begging you to be in love with it, to have fun, to feel like a kid, but it all feels like a sick joke when you actually get to play the game. Slow to the point it's anti-comfy, the goddamned mario cry, the shitty proto-collectathon aspect of it —and yet people keep telling you that it's a flawless masterpiece, making you more paranoid and jaded with every level, self-flagellating because you're not enjoying SNES' magnum opus. Then you think what you're gonna tell your mates about the game and it all becomes more nightmarish, knowing your opinion is the biggest modern heresy, at that moment you wish to be playing Donkey Kong Country again.

I played this as a kid on GBA without any forum or influencer opinions in my ear about it. I had incidentally already played the first four Mario games at that point, too. I really enjoyed it and having gone back to the game for the first time in at least ten years just last month I still consider it one of my favorite Mario games.
It doesn't feel anything like the other mainline games so I can see why it would feel "anti-comfy" to some like another anon above said, but I really think it's at least worth trying if you know what you're in for. The collectathon aspect of the game doesn't really bother me too much for whatever reason; I think the level design in Yoshi's Island is solid enough to make scrounging around feel worthwhile.

Miyamoto was right when he said that people would flock to any overrated piece of shit game as long as it had shiny graphics. DKC is the prime example. Its gameplay is objectively worse than YI, yet it's "the game that saved the SNES". Rather sad if you ask me. YI was made by Miyamoto to prove that he could make a better game than DKC in his sleep, and he did just htat.

console wars are demodé, and that's also ironic because they aren't even retro, console wars (actual console wars, not marketing stunts) are a very 2000s thing, not retro, but demodé by now.

[Anonymous No.8340510]

>>8339206

The "baby system" ruined it... Baby Mario crying and yoshi basically being invincible to hit damage... Just ruined everything... Mario should have been captured and you could rescue him at the end of the game or something... But the art and game is fun otherwise

I don't forgive Nintendo for that... and also for making the utter shit n64 and not even releasing killer instinct (arcade perfect 1st one) on it

super metroid is terrible by today standarts.
And i may say it was terrible back then, i played it when it was new and the controls felt terrible and the way the character moved it looked and feeled like something old and clunky,
mario world was much more enjoyable as a kid (those games where designed for kids)

[Anonymous No.8340523]

Super metroid is a great game... I just dislike you get rewarded by rushing through it and get no special endings nor extras for finding all the items

just played a couple of levels for the first time and yes,
it is good compared with snes games, controls feel good and it always has some way to give you something you are not expcting.
Not a hard game but a nice experience

[Anonymous No.8340582]

>>8339206
it's very based, but honestly i can see why some people like it less than the mainline games. it's slower paced, so instead of just runnin through the levels like ya usually do in mario, ya search around and collect stuff. different type of appeal ig, though the marios started doin that when 64 hit so ehhh whatever. also the mario cry is horrid.
>>8340170
yi has way better graphics than dkc though. well at least the characters/enemies, the backgrounds are about even but the spritework is sublime. sure it was different at the time ye but times change ya know.

Minus be* typo

Also I do like all the secret collecting and the art is great.. But who the fuck wants to hear baby Mario cry constantly what were they thinking?.. It also makes the game too easy since you can just recapture Mario, which is no challenge.

[Anonymous No.8341047]

>>8341036

Your satire aside.. Yes to the No...

Hearts like in Mario 2 would have worked fine for a hit system...

Mario should have fucking been crying all the way in bowsers castle (unexperienced by the player) and maybe a 2 second loop of it as part of an ending before you rescue him make him happy and see the ending.

That would bump it from a 4 - 5/10 game to a 9 or 10/10 game.

it's not that at all. It's the speed, the platforming, and the secrets. The game is one of the best handling platformers on the SNES, and almost rivals Sonic in character speed.
