If checking out commercials for games that are soon to be released in Korea is your thing, then we've got something for you. Sure, the game has been out for quite some time, but we never really can get enough of Nintendo commercials. They're always so clever and entertaining, wouldn't you say?
We love region-free consoles! Not only does it allow us to play games that never get released in the US, but it also gives us freedom to choose the cheapest version of worldwide-release games. Renchi.com has marked down a load of DS games, and there's plenty of stuff for US gamers to enjoy.
We've been all abuzz when it comes to Nintendo's ads lately, but this new commercial for Yoshi's Island DS falls a little flat. Sure, it's cute, and it communicates the game well. Of course, we love the tongue, and the addition of the pink DS Lite is nice -- since pink is typically associated with girls (and, of course, real men who aren't afraid to wear it), there's a subtle messages that this game is girl-approved. Since we suggested it in lieu of a few others recently, we're all sorts of down with that impression. But all is not rainbows and coin-filled bricks in Nintendo land, despite the new ad's positive qualities.
Jim Welch is quite the artist. He not only creates excellent pieces of art, but he does it on a daily basis. That's the kind of commitment that we both respect and envy. Not only that, but we're jealous of his skills! In his videos each day, he makes creating excellent illustrations look so easy. We'd post what we drew after trying to mimic his style, but it looks like a set of crayons threw up on a piece of paper and, honestly, nobody wants to see that.
The official minisite for Yoshi's Island DS is up, and it is so very clickable! Make sure you slide your mouse pointer around, as there's music hidden in one of the flowers. Under "see more" by the DS, there's a very simple introduction to the game and the characters that's quite charming.
A plethora of pictures depicting in-game action of the sort you're dying to experience have hit the interwubs running over at French gaming site Jeux-France. In Yoshi's Island 2, Yoshi must aid the likes of Baby Mario, Baby Donkey Kong, and Baby Peach in locating children who have gone missing from the island. This, of course, has nothing to do with the recent arrival of an equally-mysterious floating island in the skies above the already existing island full of Yoshis.
"Yoshi!" You can't help but love how that little green dinosaur announces himself.
We are excited, apparently along with the rest of the gaming world, that Yoshi is returning to glory with his new game on the DS, Yoshi's Island 2.
We have already discussed the new characters that are making appearances and don't even get us started on what Wi-Fi is all about!
We found some new screenshots for everyone to display even more the need to buy this game. Enjoy!

Several gamers are claiming that Yoshi's Island is indeed one of the best 2D platformers... of all time. Then there seems to be a general understanding that things were falling apart with Yoshi's Story and that this little DS game could pull the series out of its so called slump and put it back on the map.
It seems highly possible since Nintendo is introducing Wi-Fi and new baby characters of our all time favorites.
Gameworld Networks has put together a preview filled with all the info we know about Yoshi's Island 2 and they are really hyped about it.

Baby Wario, Baby Donkey Kong and a Wi-Fi logo standing in all its glory. What more do you need?
What we wonder the most about is the Wi-Fi logo. What in this game would use it? We are just as riddled as you, dear reader.
Can you play as Baby Wario or Donkey Kong? Is there multiplayer? Will there be an option for single card play? Oh, the questions.
This looks like another Fall release that might be a must have. November 13 can't come fast enough.
