I knew I bought the Wii U for some reason!
Wait, it wasn't this game...where am I?
Great game, too bad the sequels were disappointing.
Definitely a must play game for anyone who considers themselves a gamer. The Yoshi series may be mediocre overall, but this game in particular is a masterpiece.
Cool beans.
One of my favorite games and IMO better than Super Mario World.
Also this fantastic game is capped off by an amazing final boss battle.
I wish it was the original version, and not the one with the awful Yoshi sound effects, but this will do.
Is it also available on the 3DS?
Awesome! And the Wii U should be available in my house for less than they're going for now.
I was never a fan of this game.
I first played this game for the Game Boy Advance, and it was really enjoyable.
I still have the game for the SNES!
