Yoshi's Story review

About a decade ago I came across a game that I had a short love/hate relationship with. I loved it...while it lasted and hated it for being so short and easy! That game was Yoshi's Story and many people felt the same way. Being that this was the only other side-scrolling game on the N64 (US side) besides Mischief Makers, the odds were against it. 3D console games were kind of a new thing at the time and Yoshi's Story was being sold as a 2 1/2D game...what the heck? Commercially, the game did alright, but it was a critical failure. Why was this game so widely disliked? Well, now that this game is available on the Virtual Console for the Nintendo Wii, I set out to reexamine what I loved...and hated about this largely overlooked gem of a game. I would like to thank Josh for being in the video and letting me egg-ify him, my parents for watching this video many times and being supportive as always, and of course to all of my very supportive subscribers and everyone else who gave me encouragement and constructive criticism, and of course YOU for watching! The music at the beginning and end of the video is by me and you can download this track (last half of PSmegamix5) and others for free on my myspace page (destructure047) All other music belongs to their respective games. By the way, the song that plays while I'm talking about the soundtrack isn't on the soundtrack! Bummer I know! Any skipping in the video game footage is not representative of the game, this was due to lag from my capture device. Thanks a lot! I hope you enjoy(ed) it!

I just realized that the scream of terror at 9:43 is the same one as in the Weetabix video.

It's nice to watch a review that doesn't completely bash the game.

@MrAlekz Did you try it in all melon run? The game is not about playing the story once. People are so stupid thinking that after beating a campaign it's done.

[TheDarknessShows]

OMG,my mom would totally agree with you at 5:55 to 6:14!Once,I was playing Yoshi's Island on my gameboy advance,and when yoshi did a flutter jump my mom said ''Is he constipated or something?''Does he have to take a serious dump?''It was so funny!In the gba version of yoshi's island,yoshi has a voice.I love yoshi.He is my favorite charector in the mario series.
