The Guy Who Designed Sonic The Hedgehog Supervised On Mario & Sonic At The Rio Olympics

I still feel let down by Yoshi's New Island. Dave was spot on with his review, unfortunately. Could have been a great Yoshi and 3DS game

Am I the only person who actually liked Yoshi's New Island?

I suppose that explains all the Yoshi hate. Even the most flimsy connection to Sonic the Hedgehog will get you plenty of hate from the modern gaming fans. Unless your name is Bayonnetta of course, than you are free to collect as many gold rings as you like, you could basicallly remake Sonic '06 call it Bayanetta 2 no one bats an eye.

@LegendOfPokemon I enjoyed it for what it was but it didn't blow me away. And there was a distinct lack of 'new'. It wasn't bad, just average really. But then I loved Yoshi's Story and Yoshi's Island 2 which also get a lot of hate. Though I would put them both way above New Island.

Cool! I'm loving Rio so far; great story mode and lots of characters to play as!

@SirQuincealot No...people disliked New Island because, from what I've heard, it's not very good. Sonic isn't some sort of plague that poisons everything that comes near something related to him.

You learn something new everyday. Never known anything about Arzest or it's connections until just now.

yoshis new island was bad because it just didn't live up to its predecessors. The art of the game looked less impressive even compared to the snes game. The level designs were bland and the boss fights were child's play. Their was no real challenge and no real replay ability. As a 1 time play it may be fun to try, but theirs no real interest to play over and over like the original. Now don't get me wrong, im not some 90's kid who thinks thats the best generation and every modern day game is crap. But when a remake of a game, made over 10 years after the original no less, is made and it sucks compared to the original. Then you can see that something went wrong

This was a nice little piece, but does it have anything to do with the M&S game at all, besides a name connection? Like, did any of Oshima's proto designs end up in the game, or have cameos to Arzest's other projects?

@NintendoFan64 Yet SEGA doesn't take Sonic seriously when making Sonic games.......

Do you realize that the 3DS doesn't have that many platform games out there? If SEGA atleast had the sense to make one solid platform game for that system, I'd be happy. But they haven't done so and I'm sad.

I love Sonic, but honestly, if SEGA is gonna take him as a joke, then there's no point bringing him back.

I had no idea Artoon created Blinx. I learned something new today.

It's nice seeing Ohshima working again with Sonic games, after all these years! I'm wondering if it was Nintendo or SEGA that asked for the help of Arzest...

@LegendOfPokemon I won't judge the game since I never got it, but that should say a lot since I'm a huge fan of the first Yoshi's Island. Nothing about the visual style or the gameplay mechanics made me feel like I was missing out on anything.

Yoshi's Woolly World, on the other hand, was almost the complete opposite for me.

@SirQuincealot Actually New Island was just a bad game.

@Zombo

Actually (pushes round frame glasses up the bridge of his nose, glasses that have clearly been taped in the middle cause hes been punched so many times cause hes a giant nerd) it is the same exact game as the first one.

The people who didn't like it were children when they played the first, and they spread the opinion on the internet that it was a bad game, which clearly the people who don't play games have taken wholeheartedly.

Long story short this isn't a bad game, and if it is it's only because the first one is. It looks nicer, it plays tighter, theres more variety, and it looks nicer, I know I have said that already, but it does.

Yoshis new Island isn't a bad game. Yoshis Island is a bad game, you just remember it.

@Tsurii "Bad Game"

care to define what a bad game is?

By the why, you can't its subjective, you ignorant fool, with your total lack of any logic.

@NintendoFan64 "from what you've heard"

from what I have heard Smash bros, and earthbound are totally bad games, (you like those right? ness avatar guy") I haven't played them myself but i know for a fact they are bad games.

Also Sonic is a plague, as you put it, don't be surprised when people discriminate for random reasons, There are lots of people who won't even touch a sonic game. And there are sonic games just like this yoshi game that get trashed just because they exist. Lost World for instance.

@Socar Not one? thats cause there three, and proof of discrimination.

@SirQuincealot I didn't say I know for a fact that it's bad. I'm just going off of what others have said and assuming that's the reason it gets hate. The truth of the matter is that there is no conspiracy going on here where people automatically dislike something just because it has even the TINIEST bit of relation to Sonic. In fact, I don't even think many people even knew that Oshima had anything to do with Arzest. People just didn't like it... because they just didn't like it. Also, funny how you're giving @Tsurii flack for calling it a bad game, and that what a bad game is is completely subjective, because when you get down to it, what a good game is is also completely subjective. So why is it that you can say that it's good, yet others can't say it's bad, when both cases are subjective? Also, don't go around saying that people disliking the game only dislike it because of some vendetta against everything Sonic, or that Yoshi's Island was bad, but people just ignore that because they played it as children, because quite frankly it's ridiculous, and it comes off as a ploy to simply disregard people's opinions that differ from yours.

The reason I said these things is this: I said it was good, and you guys corrected me telling me it was bad, saying its not subjective, its bad, and I was wrong for thinking otherwise. the later posts were parodying you.

Of course its subjective, just don't tell me I'm wrong cause some random dude on the internet said it was bad.

@SirQuincealot Yoshi's 3D Island is objectively a bad game because of the reasons they've already mentioned.

@ICEknight

Thanks for waiting two months to say nothing. You sure are a real person, (he says sarcastically).

Have you tried it? Or was your opinion predetermined by some douche bag on the internet you've never met.

Did you even try the first one? Does your opinion even count?

@ICEknight Have you even tried it?
