The main addition to gameplay is the ability to swallow extremely large enemies and turn them into colossal eggs, bigger than Giant Eggs. When thrown, they function similarly to [[Mega Mushroom]]s, wrecking everything in their path, the accumulating damage filling a meter that can provide Yoshi with up to three extra lives.

Revision as of 09:40, March 22, 2014

Template:Justreleased Template:Infobox Yoshi's New Island is a title for the Nintendo 3DS, released on March 14, 2014, in North America and Europe, and released in Australia on March 15, 2014. It is also scheduled for a summer 2014 release in Japan. It is the third game in the Yoshi's Island series.

Story

After the events of Yoshi's Island, the couple to whom the Stork gave Baby Mario and Baby Luigi allege that the brothers are not their babies. It goes on searching for the real parents, when it finds Kamek wanting to steal the babies once more. Again, he proceeds to take only Baby Luigi away, and Baby Mario falls on the nearby Egg Island. He is found by a group of Yoshis who decide to take him to his brother and defeat Baby Bowser, since he is planning to turn Egg Island into his vacation home.[1][2][3]

After defeating both Baby Bowser and his older self, Egg Island is saved, and Baby Luigi is rescued. The Stork proceeds to take the brothers to fulfill his job of sending them to the correct parents. After the Stork gets there, this couple confirms that Mario and Luigi are indeed their children. After this, the helpful Warp Pipe is seen; it reveals its true identity and vanishes.[4]

Gameplay

Yoshi's New Island is a platform game which plays the same in style as its predecessors, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island DS. Much of the scenery and moves from the game are similar, as well.

The main addition to gameplay is the ability to swallow extremely large enemies and turn them into colossal eggs called Mega Eggdozers, which are bigger than Giant Eggs. When thrown, they function similarly to Mega Mushrooms, wrecking everything in their path, the accumulating damage filling a meter that can provide Yoshi with up to three extra lives.

Reception

As of March 13, 2014, Yoshi's New Island has garnered mixed or average reception, having a 64 average based on 32 reviews in Metacritic[22] and a 66.88% based on 25 reviews on GameRankings.[23] Jose Otero of IGN praised the solid gameplay, but criticized the game for reusing ideas from the original and its soundtrack, while its new ideas do not stand out. He ended with, "Yoshi’s New Island's inconsistent art and tacked-on new ideas are all layered on top of the same strong platforming and level design that made the original great.", giving the game a 7.9 out of 10.[24] Edge lambasted the game, giving it a 4 out of 10, heavily criticizing the game's reliance on throwback to the original Yoshi's Island.[25] Susan Arendt of Joystiq gave the game a 4 out of 5 stars, praising the solid gameplay.[26] Jim Sterling of The Escapist says the game "boasts some charm and is certainly inoffensive, it's just not all that exciting." He praised the solid gameplay but criticized the tedium and difficulty. He gave the game 3 out of 5 stars.[27] Dave Letcavage of Nintendo Life gave the game a 5 out of 10. He also criticized the game for being not being necessarily bad, but being "dull" and "unimpressive". He stated the game is playable, but mostly filler.[28] GameXplain gave it a 4 out of 5 stars, saying it was more of the same but that was a good thing, while stating the soundtrack was often subpar.[7]
