I know lots of people take it deadly seriously, but I am enjoying this Klepek-Gerstmann blood feud over the validity of Yoshi's Island as a good game.

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

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 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.

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

This just looks super rough.

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

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?

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.

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.
