Review Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island (Wii U eShop / GBA)
Egg-ceptional platforming
When you take into account just how much of a landmark title Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island was when it released back in 1995, it’s absurd to think that it’s only just being re-released on one of Nintendo’s Virtual Console services – well, that is if you exclude the exclusive 3DS release under the guise of the...
Review Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island (3DS eShop / GBA)
Drawing you in
Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi’s Island joined a Nintendo tradition of re-releasing classic titles for a new audience. Bringing an iconic Super Nintendo platformer to the Game Boy Advance seemed perfectly apt, with the handheld more than capable of 16-bit standard visuals. The question remains, is this port worth playing today?...

About The Game
Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island is a Game Boy Advance remake of Nintendo's classic Super Nintendo platformer, Yoshi's Island.
Looking to create a fuss in the kingdom, a meddling magikoopa, Kamek, intercepted a stork carrying the Mushroom Kingdom's newest set of twins.
During the heist, Kamek successfully kidnapped one twin; but the other twin accidentally slipped from the stork's bundle and fell to the ground. With miraculous fortune, the second twin landed safely on Yoshi's back!
Now, the normally docile Yoshis must take on the trouble-making Kamek and his entire cast of underlings to reunite the twins!

An awesome game. It makes it okay that we didn't get it on Wii Virtual Console now since its coming to the 3DS instead.
Yayyyy
One of the two instances where I do not at all mind the fact that the Game Boy Advance has an inferior sound chip, the other being The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for the GBA, due to how it succeeds, even though it's no SNES sound; and that's saying something, considering I absolutely abhor how the GBA manages to turn a beautiful-sounding SNES soundtrack into a weak-sounding GBA quality soundtrack. But that's my viewpoint on the subject.
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island is my favorite 2D Mario game as well as my favorite Yoshi game of all time, no matter which format it's in. I've always liked this game more than the original Super Mario World.
I sence a 10...
1000000000!! By far my favorite game of all time on the SNES.
@Bass_X0 So did this come to the 3DS in the end then?
