Yoshi's Island 64 [Yoshi's Story - Beta] Nintendo 64 - 1996

[InfoTrail]

i was born in 1996, but that doesnt mean i didnt grow up with these games, i played LoZ links awakening and links adventure, and yoshi's story, and super mario for snes, i played the dreamcast, i played sonic, PSO (phantasy star online) super smash bros 64. i played all of those games, and i feel like i wasnt orn in 1996when i think about it lol. i feel like i gre up with you guys that were born when the game first came out.

[baby1151rose]

how did u got yoshi island i want that game so badly

[sinancothebest]

I wanna play as Brown Yoshi!!! Why nintendo, why?????

[Mirdiniable]

I don't know about you gents but I loved Yoshi's story for the n64 ;-;

[Robbmaggedon]

Yoshi Story killed Yoshi. I miss when he didn't have a voice.

[Flamer589]

better than final

[Renann64]

@HesteBacon but as we can c at the vid, the animation and graphics of the beta one is much better and there were more yoshis... i wuz disapointed too, i think nintendo should hv done ah yoshi's island just like the snes, DS, and GBA one... yoshi's story is not that good, and it just hav few stages...

[Renann64]

@HesteBacon  yep... i have the final version on my old n64... but this beta one looks much diffrent, and even much better...

[jimmyelgringito]

Why is Yoshi's animation so much better in the Beta. They are cartoonier, which match yoshi better :)

[smbmadman1]

I shall assume the Bone Dragons' flesh melted during the making of the game O_O

[FrostBite4point0]

So happy...?

[44ch1m]

@FrostBite4point0 SO HAPPY

[SwiftCracker]

If the "rumor" Yoshies had existed it would maximise the Yoshies to 10. as there are 6 default 8 with the white and black, and ten with the rumored colors.

[NotThisGuyAgain]

omg purple yoshi :O

[Supermariofan14]

Apparently it had a much better soundtrack that isn't the same song.

[reversingmemories]

@mariodude89 Calm down.

[TheFreezingApple]

Ok so for the record i actually like Yoshi's Story and i don't know what the yelling about the title is all about because i didn't see people complain when Mario & Luigi RPG 3's title was announced...i just find it stupid that people complain about a title. Plus if you try to do an melon only run you get to see every inch of the level seeing what nintendo put in the game rather than running your ass of and plainly forgetting the levels altogether.

[MadJackLightning]

"HEY GUYS I HAVE AN IDEA! HOW ABOUT IF WE GET RID OF THE PLATFORMING AND ADVENTURE FROM YOSHIS ISLAND! AND WE INSTEAD MAKE THE PLAYERS COLLECT FRUITS IN A GAME THEY CAN BEAT IN A COUPLE OF HOURS! THE FANS ARE REALLY GONNA LOVE THIS ONE!!! :D" ..............................­....... -.- Stfu.....

[bassistguy]

I wonder why they didn't go this route.

[ClassicHedgehog]

I want this:(

[NeverendingTwilight1]

Oh... this version of the game looks like it's missing the stupid fruit collecting aspect of the game. So... did this version of the game actually feature full length levels with an ACTUAL end goal? That would of been nice, instead of the shit game we ended up getting.

[mrlankykong64]

it seems like all of the unreleased games on the n64 would have been way better than the ones that actually came out

[liveswired]

@mrlankykong64 GoldenEye, WaveRace, Mario 64, turok, Banjo Kazooie, Zelda: OOT, DKR, MK64, ISS 64, Star Fox, Conker BDF, Pilotwings to name but a few. . . . . All these games exceeded my expectations!!! =)

[RsChrisG]

i miss this game

[MattArashi]

@RsChrisG So go download N64 Emulator, and Yoshi Stories rom :) It works!

[ebaygeek3]

We got Yoshi's Story instead of this? Damn you Nintendo :(

[liveswired]

@ebaygeek3 yeah, I wish they kept the name. Yoshi's story was a stupid title.

[7DragonMilo]

It reminds me the original Rayman for some reason =S

[cresun]

the only thing i could have asked for is a greater replay value, perhaps something along the lines of additional unlockable levels, a new play mode, and maybe some new special fruit that would enhance the challenge in some exciting way or another...

[cresun]

i really beg to differ when it comes to beta vs final..

the fruit concept adds a different strategy to it, rather than just running thru the course to the end

it implies a greater value of gameplay by encouraging the player to explore every inch of the story book, in order to achieve the 30 melon challenge, while seeking out those hidden coins along the way to peak the high score

those looking for a pure adventure game WILL be disappointed, as Yoshi's Story depends on its puzzle element

[cresun]

seems the brown and purple yoshis were changed to white and pink

[cresun]

awesome ! thanks for sharing !

[SuperJJsmom]

wow, those bone dragons wasnt a bone dragon XD

[ragazzoshitfuck409]

@SuperJJsmom Wow, your English grammar is really bad!

[SuperJJsmom]

@ragazzoshitfuck409 ops i mean WASN'T

[SuperJJsmom]

@ragazzoshitfuck409 i AM english

[ragazzoshitfuck409]

@SuperJJsmom You are supposed to say: "Those bone dragons WEREN'T a bone dragon." Are you sure you are English??

[SuperJJsmom]

@ragazzoshitfuck409 yes i am -.-

[MrAlexflames]

i saw a brown yoshi it must of took place of white one

[xJC4Rx]

i cant help but wonder what nintendo would think if they heard people saying "the beta looks better then the final" cause i think they'd be upset when it came to getting rid of the beta stuff

im not gonna say it looks better cause it only showed 4 levels

but notice the purple (instead of pink) & orange (instead of white) yoshi's

[pimpstar415]

for super smash bros they should have made the characters look the way they do in there N64 games

[M1XART]

Technically speaking, this beta does not look better than the final (just play the jungle stages and you`ll agree), but it does "feel" a bit more like SNES Yoshi`s Island on atmosthpere point ot view...

[TRJ22487]

There is more beta footage in the Starfox 64 promo video Nintendo Power sent out showing gigantic oversized shy guys. Once the game finally came out everyone was so disappointed rumors surfaced of ways to access the secret levels but they were all untrue, they simply took it out of the final version and added the fruit concept

[rekki111]

purple yoshi!?!?!

[doragonisi]

why the hell did they take out purple yoshi?

[neoman289151]

Why does the final version have a different kind of dragon?

[flameheat1000]

for some reason it always seems like beta is better and they screw it up like beta link faries idnt looks like freaks

[crystalyoshi64]

Oh my! This is million times better than final! +fav

[jonyjon98]

I heard the Yoshi's had their original voices in this version! I find it too bad those baby Yoshis got birth defects. CURSE YOU BABY BOWSER'S CURSE!

[jjalepeno55]

This Game Makes Me Smile : P

[Jolpengammler]

such a sweet game good for little kids because it was/is so easy

[RelientjaKe]

Aww, Yoshi's old running animation looks adorable.

I wonder why they changed it?

[MrGamefreak197]

To me, this should have been the final product

[SomeFluffer64]

What were they thinking when they put in only 24 levels?

[ClaimhSolais]

rom plz

[M1XART]

-Why everybody assumes that there is not even Mario included on this game? He was also on Luigi`s Mansion for crying out loud.! There is nothing wrong with Yoshi`s Story, but it is nearly impossible to complete 100%. I think this makes it even more impressive, as just like other Nintendo games, StarFox 64 ect, even new-comers can enjoy it but there is stuff you will find out only YEARS later on that you did not even know to exist... -Nintendo games have and will be most accomplished out there...

[wordlife842]

My first video game ever

Now they consume my life YEH =)

[TheLuigiluigi888]

i had this game for 3 years i beat it in 1 week

[guitardude196]

instead of white and pink yoshi, theirs purple and brown

[wariofan279]

Will it Kill them to make the Final Version longer?.i mean it took me 10 minuites to beat the entire Yoshis Story (20 Minuites tops)

[Killerbloo2]

you can get purple by getting every coin in the game

[LFiers]

?? What did you mean by your comment?

[thetrophyone]

HAHA!!! Awesome! Right on! The whole collecting fruit thing to beat a level is so goddamn retarded. You should have to collect fruit to maintain your health. They should of had actual ends of the level you reached and the level was over. Also, the graphics and even game look so much more interesting in the above beta. Let me use your phrase for something else Nintendo bombed on: Nintendo also should have released the N64DD...

HORRAY FOR MORE NINTENDO FUCKUPS!

[GodzofConquer]

wat wuld hae come to be if all those fuckups came to be..man it would have been cool...yoshis island 64 badass

[thetrophyone]

Don't know if you ever played it, but I was playing WWF NO MERCY for the 64 a couple of nights ago and I stopped to think about how much cooler this game would've been if it would've been on a disc and not on a cartridge. You would have entrances that showed the wrestlers in the ring, Full Titantron videos, and more wrestlers could of had their real themes songs in the game. GODDAMN! Nintendo lost a lot of chances for games that could of rocked the shit by not putting games on discs.

[narutoultra]

@thetrophyone Apparently the main reason Square Enix switched to sony systems was because of this, Final Fantasy 7 probably would have been for N64, Final Fantasy 10 on the GameCube(Which would probably be a completely different console)

[thetrophyone]

Also, imagine if Zelda Ocarina of Time would of had the same amount of space to play with that the FInal Fantasy games on the Playstation had. That would have been fucking incredible! There are tons of things that got cut from the cartridge version of OOT. I'll always wonder what could have been in that case.

[genowhril809]

wow i never knew so many casual gamers roamed youtube >_>

[GodzofConquer]

shut up hahah were kool

[YoshiMarill]

ZOMG Purple and Brown Yoshi

Brown = White

Purple = Pink

What Happened to the Brown and Purple Yoshi why weren't they in the final version.

[MrPenguin1000]

Actually, there's 2 hidden Yoshis: Black and White.

[mariogame643212]

I did not know that.

[youtubz192]

this game is awesome

[mrkd]

woa... very nice graphics and design o_O

[Pikman01]

LOL Beta Name, too, "Yoshi's Island 64" then final is "Yoshi's Story"

[jhoodedbunny69]

the beta looks much better the final

[wariofan279]

Why am i not Surprised?.Beta Versions are Always better than the Final.Hell even the Title was better i mean cmon:Yoshis Story?,UGH.

[sarCAsum0]

@wariofan279 Yeah. Well, the Yoshis get stuck in a storybook, but it's YI64 is still better

[smbmadman1]

The bone dragons seem to be in their flesh in the beta. Sadly, their flesh fell off right when the game was in shelves! lol

[Reoko77]

the beta was way better than the original, with its fruit collecting crap and that fucking retarted kiddy music!

[mrkd]

hahahahaha XD

[54spiritedwill54]

Nice

[Renann64]

It was better then the final version...

[TheSmashbros45]

@Renann64 if you played the beta first, you'll say the final is better

[Renann64]

@TheSmashbros45 no, i didnt play the beta, cuz i dont hav it... i just have the final one... and in this on, yoshi's animations and graphics sounds much better than the final one, dats why i said that the beta one looks better...

[TheSmashbros45]

@Renann64 yoshi's animations and graphics are not better are only different, people say is better cuz they didn't saw this before and they wan't to play it because they can't have it

[Renann64]

@TheSmashbros45 yeah... ? but the beta ones still looks better... look at Banjo-Kazooie for example... the beta one was much better than the final one... the same situation as Yoshi's Story...

[RBio77]

pink is also purple

[RBio77]

they replaced orange yosh with white yosh. they should have kept orange as a really hard extra

[ShadowLinkxMaster]

Or they should have kept all colors

[yorbaz]

this is pretty cool.

[RaccoonMario64]

This looks considerably tougher, especially at the Goonies (Sea Gull-like enemy) part.

[Whywoulditmatter]

yoshi runs funny ^^

[GodzofConquer]

he runs better it makes him have personality

[devonjames10]

I read something.

The level where you are over the sea on the birds was called "Shy Guy sea"

And the one with the bubbles was called "Bouncy Express"

[Samcatlover]

wow, i like the cute, fluffy style of the Yoshis Story that really came out 0.o

[SacredSpawn]

sry ,i just realized a few things are actually different.

[SacredSpawn]

THIS IS YOSHI STORY PEOPLE!

[sonicfeet]

00:53

"ECK-ULM"

[PolygonMario]

how you get brown? earn all the levels?

[shadowlugia10]

read the title it is beta

[poopskinTheLiar]

Is it just me or is the beta bone dragon look like tryclyde from SMB2?

[MajorasWrath97]

actually it was from doki doki panic that the tryclyde was from......perhaps the land mario and peach and luigi and toad were in was yoshi's island! but then they went there after marios dream and they saw yoshi's and stuff......oh yeah im aware that doki doki panic is super mario bros 2

[dudaw12]

Hm, the Piranha Plant Grove stage looks really creepy. Maybe that's why they always change beta games so much, a lot of things in them might scare young players. I remember getting this demo cartridge from Domino's Pizza. It had this game on it, I'm am quite sure it was the beta version, it was really creepy. The sound quality was like a broken VHS, that made it even worse. Beta games always give me the creeps... good video!

[MajorasWrath97]

omg the released version creeped me out!

yeah super mario 64 beta was scary like hell. i mean mario sounded possessed......and the castle was creepy...

[MajorasWrath97]

Wtf? I responded to you a long ass time ago, before I even discussed hacking here? WTF!

[mariobuddy1307]

i like how yoshi runs

[stoner412]

I cant believe nobodys dumped these :(

[idapeppp]

WHAT? :P

[toadythetoad721]

Wtf? Brown and Purple Yoshi?

[PerfectDarkX]

yeah. there is a purple yoshi :)

I have one in my game. I think you got it for getting all the coins in all the stages in all the game xDD (just maybe)

but I dont know about the brown one xD

[mariobuddy1307]

brown and purple?

[Cauchemar89]

Yoshi runs really weird in the beta...

[JPstupidS]

Reminds me of Sonic the Hedgehog's running in 2D-Sonic games...

[devonjames10]

brown yoshi had replaced white yoshi! you can also see black yoshi in there

[Latte30000]

ahhhh i love the brown yoshi, i wish they didnt get rid of it for good ;o;

[cuku17]

brown yoshi ?is that what i saw 0:04-0:08 on the right hand corner how u get him??

[banjokazooie006]

He isnt' an unnlockable character in the final game, Yoshi story, only in the beta. Sorry

[BOMC13]

omg i loved this game when i was little. 5 stars!

[mariobuddy1307]

that was cool, do you have any levels recorded of yoshi's island 64 that you could put up?

[xohottbabexo]

I wish it could be yoshi story 2!

because I care about it and they didn't have to unreleast it, I love that game!

[Luigifire]

Cool:)

[Kawaiibabygurl911]

cool

[Skullkidofdesert]

Nice

[gothicspoon]

graphics look slightly better than in yoshi's story... :/ but YS was awesome tho

[Py0m]

their was a black and white yoshi they were both hidden eggs dont remember where to find them why not just look it up?

[cybersaur]

how'd ya get black yoshi?

[Monkeymauler20]

That game was a pain to get through, I did it somehow though. I always wondered why it looked so crisp and now I know it's because they employed sprites :P

[Dudefaceguyman]

I personally loved Yoshi's Story. My friend got it when it first came out and I played it nearly more then him. Too bad it was so short.

[Bizzozeron]

I didnt suck :( I liked it and hope it is released for the Virtual Console so I can get it on my Wii

[sacredskullkid]

The music for the trailor is awesome.

Anyone know what it's from, or is it just generic trailor music?

[boshirocks]

they shoulda released it

[FrozenyogurtProds]

They did, and it sucked.

[XMaStErMeTrOiDX]

agreed. Nintendo sucks XD

[digiharrison9]

Fanboy.

[XMaStErMeTrOiDX]

i'm just kidding, lol XD

[digiharrison9]

Oh. Well no hard feelings. Althought this game looks 3x as better than Yoshi's Story. There were no hearts that would screw up the story involved.

[slorollingmick]

Wow more Yoshi's to chose from COOL

[FlyingMario]

I somehow see some sites about a cheat to get a purple yoshi, by collecting every coin in any level, not in all levels on the game just 1. some ppl complain its too hard(since you wont know how many coins are in each level, without a Nintendo guide book (since i have one..) *it also shows EVERY single coin made in the game, in each level so it will be much easier.

[Phazonaddict]

Sorry man, but that's BS

[FlyingMario]

this is only a rumour, if you look at cheat websites people had claimed that they have it, so don't say that I'm lying, its the cheat websites, or whoever brought that up, its not my fault. You do not have to trust me that theres no garuntee that'll it will happen

[MalukuMix]

Looka like Rayman and Yoshi's Story

[N64xKING]

i want this game and megaman 64 also

[YuToobIsGay]

oh i have that for super famicom, the not so beta version lol

[NiGHTSintodreams]

You're thinking of Yoshi's Island. Which was loads better.

[NKOE]

Whoa. HUGE diffrence. They had a Brown and Purple Yoshi! And he can never lose health, plus the Hydra wasn't undead!

[arieluigi]

I like more this, the YS is bad

[Lishy1]

I bet this game was muchtbetter than story's babyness.I love yoshi's island and story is a INSULT!

[marnea1]

Harsh. But In alot of ways true.Yoshi Story was not without it's improvements and not just graphics. I liked the targeting in story alot and the way it burst into fireworks based on your health was cool .But it couldn't ricotte anymore. Plus those story puzzles were insulting. it seemed like for every step forward there were atleast two back. plus it was just plian short!

[marnea1]

and the boss fight were way too easy you can beat could n'candy just by mashing the A button and baby bowser. For cry'n out loud you can become invinsable for most of the dang fight. Plus I love the water colored backgrounds of Yoshi Islands alot better than those Pockets and cardboard cutouts. Those boss fights in island were great! like with Raphel the Raven and that last fight with baby bowser was so fun and had killer music.In fact I'm gonna go get it right now.

[marnea1]

P.S. Looks like yoshi's island might get a true sequel

on the DS. Let's hope.

[aims771]

yoshie story was a great game

[IlCacciatore]

awesome!

[NOSFERATUalu]

i love it when the yoshis sing at the end of the chapter...and i love the game...and the rest of the music.

[marnea1]

Yeah i had that dang song stuck in my head for months. But I didn't know what were they singing? so I would say things like eat Apples or be careful.

[Japancommercials4U2]

I think they say "We thank you".

[marnea1]

It's actually (according to Nintebdo Power) just random babbling. In any case I love the Brawl Remix.

[awsomesayin]

man that looks way better then what they had made man 5/5 those levels and bosses way better no fair they should release all beta versions of all games.

[emilysong2000]

I actually kind of liked Yoshi's Story, in spite of its overdose of cuteness.

[katmatjon]

I LOVE YOSHI'S STORY!

DOWNLOADING THAT GAME FOR Wii!
