Jeff Gerstmann's 2014 Game of the Year Is Here

I cannot stand yoshi's voice.

Christ, that is a really, really lazy name. It's worse than just calling it Yoshi's Island 2.

Yoshi's Island is great! This trailer is terrible.

Them's is fighting words!

i love the growing snark in patrick lately. bro's stone cold.

"New" Island, but in the style of 'Story', that somehow looks worse than the N64 game which already looked kind of bad?

I don't hate Yoshi's Island as much as Jeff, but I agree it's not a good game. The level design is universally a bit of a dud and the stars mechanic plus losing the baby mechanic make it an extremely frustrating and proactively irritating experience. I've attempted several times to play it again and always give up having had close to no fun at all. And Yoshi has some weird inertia about him. Only good thing was the graphical effects thanks to the FX2 chip. Some impressive sprite manipulation that didn't have the limitations of Mode 7 (being relegated to a background layer, hence all the bosses in SMW being on black backgrounds as they were the background).

Man I love this site.

Also, is that a white 3DS XL? Are we finally getting one?!?!

Ha !

I'm not the biggest Yoshi's Island guy , but this is adorable . I want

The SNES version is prettier than this monstrosity.

Hey look, another completely original Nintendo product!

Prrrffff, really happy about this description

there should be a bet of some kind if Jeff looses he should be made to do a Yoshi's Island endurance run and if Patrick looses he has to become a Yoshi's Island hater.

The thing I like about the SNES Yoshi's Island is that each level introduces you to a new concept that expands on the platforming or egg throwing or other basic functions. They're pretty tightly designed and don't overstay their welcome. This was absent from the following games in the series, hope that's not the case here.

I never played the original YI, but I played the DS version. I really liked the art style. After watching this, I have a question: what the heck happened?

Wah wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Hahaha I love that this "beef" is continuing. I would love for a patrick and jeff quick look of this game.

That title got me to click here. Patrick this isn't IGN with Click Bait titles, ugh.

Oh the tears if Jeff actually ends up liking this!

Oh no, Patrick is going to be fired

Shots fired so hard.

Kinda with Jeff on this, the art style looks terrible.

DAMN BRO

Shots fired

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

Ooooh, that was evil!

Yoshi's Island is a game about speed and precision, I hope this game doesn't lose that.

Time to get some popcorn. This should be good. :D

For being the best Mario game, Nintendo sure likes dragging the Yoshi's Island franchise through the mud.

This just looks super rough.

May look bad, but it probably won't be!

I'm so glad I got a 3DS now.

Oh you rascal you >.>

I really like the end where they just left the Youtube link boxes there anyways.

Oh, god. I had forgotten about the 2DS.

I LOVE Yoshi's Island and the style in this one is.... poor. It looks like a mix of the Yoshi's Island style and the Yoshi's Story style and it doesn't work...

If the gameplay is there though, I'll check it out for sure.

Amazing.

Man, Nintendo's totally lost it as far as naming games now, huh?

Did you see Shy Guy's face when Yoshi grabbed him by the dick and ate him whole?

No, no, that's literally what just happened.

I've always found Yoshi and Kirby's eating their enemies and then shitting them out to be mildly disturbing.

Graphically this game just looks ugly.

Please don't make baby Jeffrey cry
