    Yoshi's classic, beautiful game to be played by you now 0

    While there is no perfect game out there, this is the one game that I’ve played that’s the closest to perfection. Why?  Because it’s that much fun.  Everybody has the perfect game made just for them.  This one is mine. Long story short – as the stork is delivering baby Mario and baby Luigi, baby Bowser’s caretaker kidnaps Luigi and looses Mario to the Yoshi’s.  Thus the Yoshi’s carry Mario one by one to the castle, battling all kinds of things and overcoming this and that.  The main weapon is Y...

    Platforming Perfection 0

    We all loved Super Mario World, the game that came bundled with the original SNES, for the same reasons we fell in love with Mario 3.  That isn't to say they are as popular as one another, but Super Mario World took all of the things that were great about Mario 3 and made many meaningful additions to the winning-platforming formula.  Now if you thought that those games were amazing, you were right, and they hold up to this day, but a lesser talked about gem that deserves just as much (if not mor...

However, I feel Yoshi's Island, while not quite as prestigious as Super Mario World is still deserving of some praise. I re-played it recently, and felt I should write something up about it.First, let me just say that the game was super risky, and it changes so...

    Yoshi's Island: The Beaten Path 0

    Yoshi's Island was an influential game to the greater Mario world. It refined Yoshi's design and abilities from that... creature in Super Mario World. It brought those lovable Shy Guys to the front lines. Most importantly, it heavily emphasized exploration to a degree not seen in the typical platformer of the day. That exploration, unfortunately, is a double-edged sword.I really did not intend to use this image but here we are and we all have regrets.First, the basics - Despite its age, the gam...

    Haven’t played it 0

    Well, to be honest, I have never played this game. But I saw how how it came back for gameboy advance and be more a sequel for Mario advance. If you ask me, I reckon Nintendo wasn’t quite creative with the advance series for Mario compared to Sonic from Sega t the time. I mean I know what this critics said about Sonic advance 2 and 3, but at least their plots were as original as the first Sonic advance game....
