Product Details of Yoshi's Touch And Go

Description

Yoshi and Baby Mario are about to embark on another wild adventure, this time on the Nintendo DS! Using the Nintendo DS system's two screens and touch-screen capability, you'll have to help Yoshi guard Baby Mario and guide him to safety. On vertical-action levels, players must use the stylus to draw clouds on the touch screen to protect Baby Mario from enemies and lead him to Yoshi. On horizontal side-scrolling levels, players must use the stylus to look out for Yoshi as he gallops across the countryside. On top of all that, Yoshi Touch and Go also features two-player wireless play. Yoshi Touch and Go is a great example of the innovative gameplay available with the Nintendo DS. Creating lines of clouds with the stylus is fun and intuitive, and despite the simple control interface the game can actually become quite challenging. There is something distinctly satisfying about drawing clouds on the bottom screen, then watching them scroll up and affect the game on the upper screen. We can't wait to test drive a complete version of this promising title.

Yoshi Touch & Go

Strengths: Now a classic from the early days of the DS that is still a fun pick up and play game

Weakness: Really nothing more than a tech demo compared to newer games

Yoshi Touch and Go was one of the first DS titles to make full use of the unique features of the system - the dual screens and the stylus. At the time it was released early on in the DS life cycle, many other games were simply GBA ports and didn't make full use of the system's capabilites. Yoshi Touch & Go consists of two main gameplay elements. First, you guide a falling baby Mario by drawing...

Fun , Often Overlooked DS game

Strengths: Great use of DS touchpad & dual screen

Weakness: Game can feel repetitive after awhile

One thing that should cleared up--this game is not a sequel to Yoshi's Island. This is probably the biggest reason some gamers felt let down with this game--they were expecting a platformer like Yoshi's Island or Yoshi Topsy Turvy. In fact, Yoshi Touch N Go is more akin to the classic Mario Brothers or Donkey Kong games, in that you're essentially playing the same game over and over to achieve a...

Yoshi Touch & Go

You know, I don't believe I have ever read or seen the extended relationship between Yoshi and Mario. Clearly they have teamed up together in countless games. Sometimes as rivals, but for the most part they are tried-and-true friends. And if the events of the previous "Yoshi's Island" are to be believed, then Yoshi is older then Mario and has for some reason made it his lifelong mission to...
