The little green dinosaur has been on screen for a long time (more than 30 years, actually), but did you know that his first spin-off game was a crushing block-falling puzzle? Ara Tetris? Honestly, it’s a miracle that Mr. Munchakpas (using his full name) has since returned to our minds. A resource in Super Mario World that helps Mario gain extra height in his jumps.
But why not thank Yoshi for giving him a second chance at life? Over the past 30 years, Yoshi has developed puzzle games, adventure games, platformers, and even FPS. quality games, good ones TRUE good.

known as Mario & Yoshi Europe and Yoshi’s Egg in Japan, good Not the most engaging of puzzle games, but we’ve played worse tile-matching games back then, with a relatively unique plate/column switching mechanic. I recommend booting it up for a bit to see. If so, great! If not, move along.

For its merits, Yoshi’s Cookie is not just Another falling block puzzle game like Yoshi on the NES — but it’s just a bit more original.
The objective is to form a line to clear the cookies. Starting with those “blocks”, new pieces gradually approach from the right and top. Place the cursor over a cookie, press the action button, then move the directional pad to move an entire row of cookies left or right, or move an entire column up or down. Like a Rubik’s Cube, the cookies wrap around, so moving up a column causes the highest cookie to move off the top of the screen and reappear at the bottom.
It’s a cute cookie visual, which is totally fine, but there isn’t much else going on.

Yoshi Touch & Go is a cute and fun score attack game that unfortunately doesn’t offer a lot of variety or long-term appeal. With only four modes included (two of which must be unlocked) and no real sense of progression, there’s not much incentive to stick around for more than two hours. Unless you’re happy competing for the top spot on the local leaderboards. Frankly, with the variety of alternatives available, this is a tough sell.

Did you know Yoshi has a light gun shooter similar to Duck Hunt? In Yoshi Safari, you ride Yoshi as first-person Mario and shoot down Bowser, Goomba, and Cheap Cheap. There was also a multiplayer mode where one person operated Yoshi with a Super Nintendo controller and the other operated Mario with a Super Scope.
If that sounds incredibly cool, it was because it was! the way It’s so easy, it still goes down in history that’s all The first FPS in Mario’s history, it’s also the first Mario game to call the princess “Princess Peach” instead of “Princess Toadstool”. Unfortunately, it was never re-released.

Also known as Yoshi’s Universal Gravitation, the plot and art style of this GBA game was created to match Yoshi’s Story for N64. A neat short puzzle game with a tilt sensor. The idea was that you could solve each puzzle by tilting your Game Boy Advance to help Yoshi and solve the puzzles. bottom.

Whenever Nintendo tries to reinvent the wheel by creating a new Yoshi’s Island sequel, the question everyone raises is always “How can it be better than the first?”
The biggest problem with Yoshi’s New Island is that it feels stripped of the style, content, and ingenuity that once made the series such a valuable asset. Failing to water down your game design and incorporate new ideas that enhance established mechanics in a meaningful way, which isn’t necessarily bad, leaves you with a boring, unimpressive egg. There’s no denying that it’s an overwhelming outing for Yoshi.

Following SNES’ incredible (and incredibly beautiful) Yoshi’s Island, it’s no surprise that Yoshi’s Story rubbed some people the wrong way with its approachable storybook approach and cuteness. is. It’s certainly not the most powerful and complex 2D platformer you’ve played, but it’s filled with the Yoshi series’ trademark charm and if you’ve dismissed this game in the past, you’ll want to revisit it. It is worth evaluating.
The N64 wasn’t blessed with a wealth of side-on platformers, but isn’t it 64-bit Yoshi’s Island, a great little game featuring everyone’s favorite fruit-devouring dinosaurs.

Following an acclaimed title like Yoshi’s Island, a question most people would ask immediately after learning of its existence Yoshi’s Island DS goes something like: Is it better than the original? In fact, scratch it: Anyone who’s ever played the sublime SNES platformer knows what a more pertinent question is. Did you know: Does Yoshi’s Island DS hold a candle to the original?
As a standalone game, Yoshi’s Island DS is a fun platformer. But comparing it to the Super Nintendo classic is akin to comparing Sean Lennon to his father.

yoshi craft world Its originality is largely limited to its looks, but it has plenty of color and charm to spare.For Yoshi fans that’s right What you expect, that’s probably the worst thing we can say about it. Few real surprises. But the game is delightfully presented, and makes for another very solid entry into Nintendo’s ever-growing pantheon of material-based platformers. Have an extra pair ready if you want to relax in a big chair with some warm stuff and comfy socks – Yoshi’s Craft World is fascinating. what you wear right away.

Super Mario Maker for the Nintendo 3DS fell short of the original’s standards in our view (and was scored as such), but the same cannot be said for Pochi and Yoshi’s Woolly World. It takes the great original material and carefully adapts it to be portable, with additional features that make up for one of the missing features. joins its Wii U predecessor.
If you have the Wii U version, it’s a tough decision to double up on. Both versions offer the same great core game. However, if you’ve never played this on Wii U and you like Yoshi, 2D platformers, or engaging games, this is a 3DS must-have.

Yoshi’s Woolly World is platformed within Yoshi’s quirky and unique template, with enough soft cuteness to charm young gamers and melt the hearts of the most jaded veteran gamers. Along with Nintendo’s premier co-op platform, tough collectible challenges for experienced players, and simple but neat use of amiibo, it delivers the most important part with clever and witty level design. It stands out as one of his Wii U elite games and is perfect for immersing yourself in the game.

With its deep exploration-based gameplay and gorgeous art style, Yoshi’s Island After all these years, it’s still fun to play. This is a platformer with considerable depth and challenge. Exploration is fun thanks to Yoshi’s egg-based abilities, and it takes a hell of a lot of effort to collect them all, but it’s never super fun (if you can put up with Baby Mario’s whining). Although the handheld screen’s smaller canvas inevitably diminishes the impact of the incredible pastel world of his SNES original, this remains one of Nintendo’s best 2D platforming efforts. I’m here. If you haven’t played it before (or want to play it again), the GBA version is for you.

Yoshi’s Island is the absolute pinnacle of not only Yoshi games, but platformer games in general, with pastel colors, majestic backgrounds, and a stunning vision of character-oozing sprites. Honestly, it’s hard to recall any other game that matches or even comes close to the amount of detail Yoshi’s Island has done in the past or present. All enemies look pretty intentional. There are moments when we refrain from killing enemies just to see them in action.
With its deep exploration-based gameplay and gorgeous art style, Yoshi’s Island is still fun to play after all these years. Yoshi’s Island is more than just a great platformer. A reminder of why this silly little hobby of ours is great.
And here it is! From good to bad to ugly, all Yoshi games are ranked by your lovely people.
