Damn I should play this.
I bet there are levels I never played because I was stupid as a kid and didn't realize that the hearts determined how many levels you could pick from in the next stage.
Realized that years later.
Funny that I don;t really hate it but enough that I have the luck of always having stomach cramps or a panic attack when I actually try to play it though. It's like God is trying to tell me something.
This is why the entirety of humanities is a joke.
I remember when I realized in HS that I could write my english papers about literally anything, even if the premise was completely false and made no sense, as long as I had correct spelling and grammar. homosexual teachers would still give me B+ or higher on everything.
Yoshi's Story is the only N64 game I remember actually getting with my family. I was so happy and I actually played the game a lot. This game always made me happy to play, it just oozes good vibes, but whenever a yoshi died I quickly turned off the N64 because the cutscene made me sad and was different from everything else.
Playing the original pokemon snap hit this way. When you're a kid your brain can only sort of kind of distinguish between reality and fiction. So to little kids it was like looking into the Pokemon World.
But with adulthood comes that realization that it's an incredibly limited light rail shooter.

Man.. you and I remember Pokemon Snap differently. I remember getting it, taking it home, beating it in an afternoon, and being immensely disappointed. Never once did I feel like I was "looking into the Pokemon World"
There's always been something lonely about this game. So many secret parts of levels that are simply empty, but were clearly meant to be explored. Very existential.
I’m legit surprised they added a “Melons Only” challenge for every level, but you get nothing for doing it. Like damn, you actually make an easy game challenging and don’t offer a reward for it?
I think this game could have been amazing given more development, as it is now it’s just a short game with a cute artstyle. Not amazing but not bad either.
that one kid at school told me that you could unlock a rainbow Yoshi, but I never figured out how to do it
he was the same kid who told me that you could unlock Pikablu in Pokemon by leaving your Pikachu in the daycare holding a water stone
there's no rainbow Yoshi, is there Ganker?
This was the exact point Yoshi went from a neat Mario sidekick with a very soulful, visually captivating game to a gay homosexual haha egg fart vore scat monster.
Like it was literally this game that ushered in the concept of "Childhood friend who picked Yoshi in x game ended up being a flaming homosexual".
>gay homosexual haha egg fart vore scat monster.
I don't know why you're suddenly projecting your fetishes on an innocent video game character for kids, but okay.
I always thought this was fine, N64 was prime short game and it was great. Unless it was Zelda, Bomberman, Perfect Dark, or Goldeneye, chances are the game you're playing has high replay value from it's multiplayer or being quick to jump into. Even then those games have multiplayer besides Zelda.
This is probably why I'm so tired out of games these days. Everything has a checklist or a ton of objectives that you have to grind out and are hard to get back into after you stop playing for a while.
i actually really liked this as a kid, i beat every level, did melon-only runs and even lucky fruit-only runs
same
I still have my game in my closet. I tried doing everything, I think I was missing 2 levels.
FPBP
Loved this game as a kid. It was the only good Yoshi game for that matter.
>what if we make a videogame full of soul that everybody can play?
Then after they accomplished that with Yoshi's Island they made the garbage that was Yoshi's Story. Sad tale.
this game was the first time I realised not every nintendo game is good
>the black and white yoshi are the strongest
bring them back
Very problematic in [current year]

what they do to the yoshis after taking them to the tower?
haha
Well not murder since you can get them back with the White Shy Guy.
why do you keep making thread of this fricking game
Black person Black person Black person
balls! look at my balls!
Damn I should play this.

Wat
but what were they saying in the credits song?
見えをこ
the phonemes sounds too basic so im guessing is something is japanese
BE-EL-ZE-BUB

WAHHHH WAH WAH WAH WAHHHH
This game is mediocre but still better than the DS/3DS ones. I didn’t like the Whooly ones as well.
Only the first one was actually good.
Black sheep that are secretly the best game in the series
I had fun looking for the melons
Yoshi's Story is 10/10 kino what the frick are some of you guys even smoking

Man, I miss those massive boxes that N64 games came in.
Whenever I see one I still get a bit excited, like I'm transported back to my childhood.
Japanese boxes are better since you don't have to give them the royal treatment to last.

They needed to casualize Yoshi's Island even more
games were very expensive back then and getting a day worth of play out of this felt bad
still the main theme is seared in my memory
>EAT AAAAAASSHOOOOOOOLE
>EAT AAAAAAAAAAASSSSHOOOOOOLE
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Yoshi would not say this, you motherfricker, take it back.
they didnt say that moron
my friend and I played this a lot as a kid. what was wrong with it?
kino
They were thinking "let's make a game for little kids" but I don't know what the frick you were thinking when you descided to play it as an adult

I was a month shy of turning 7 when that game came out and also a sperg.

I haven't touched this game since the 90's and yet the song the Yoshi's hum is still seared into my memory.

you get more points incase you care about score for some reason
Being a dumb kid who sucked at games and rarely finished them, I was confused and underwhelmed to find out I had actually beaten it.
that one kid at school told me that you could unlock a rainbow Yoshi, but I never figured out how to do it
he was the same kid who told me that you could unlock Pikablu in Pokemon by leaving your Pikachu in the daycare holding a water stone
there's no rainbow Yoshi, is there Ganker?
no but there were black and white secret yoshi's that were almost the same thing
Yossy!
*ruins yoshi's design and voice forever*
The butthole!
BOP BOP DOOP DOOP
SHOOP DA PAW
YO-CHI
YO-CHI
YO-CHI
POOP
LET THE MAN POOP

This has been a thing for 20 years anon..
That's far too long, you need to let those fetishes go anon.
HAHAHAHHOOOOOOOOO
It was okay for a weekend because of how short the game was.
