Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Yoshi and Baby Mario are about to embark on another wild adventure, this time on the Nintendo DS!Using the Nintendo DS system's two screens and touch-screen capability, you'll have to help Yoshi guard Baby Mario and guide him to safety. On vertical-action levels, players must use the stylus to draw clouds on the touch screen to protect Baby Mario from enemies and lead him to Yoshi. On horizontal side-scrolling levels, players must use the stylus to look out for Yoshi as he gallops across the countryside. On top of all that, Yoshi Touch & Go (temporary title) also features two-player wireless play.

Fun:
Yoshi's Touch and Go is not really designed to be a traditional platform game, and is more like an old-fashioned arcade game. The aim of the game is to get the highest score, and the main game is basically divided into two stages. In the first stage you must guide baby Mario through the clouds to Yoshi, who is waiting on the ground. The more points you manage to gain in this stage will affect what colour Yoshi is waiting for you, which will then impact on how many points you are able to get in the second stage. In the second stage, you have to guide Yoshi across the terrain to the finish point. It is as simple as that. The twist is that Yoshi (or baby Mario) is controlled exclusively using the stylus. You can draw protective bubbles around enemies to stop them hurting you, and can also draw clouds. If you tap Yoshi, he will jump, and if you hold the stylus down, he will jump higher. If you tap the screen elsewhere, Yoshi will fire an egg. A nice touch is that if you make a mistake drawing a cloud, you can erase it by blowing into the microphone. There is quite a lot of skill involved, and the gameplay is surprisingly deep, although as with any good arcade style game, you can just pick up and play when you want without having to spend hours progressing through the game.
There are several modes, including a marathon, where you are challenged to travel as far as possible without dying, and time attack. There is also a basic multiplayer. That said, the game is essentially quite short, and there is little to keep you interested once you have gained the highest scores.

There are some things in life you just trust, you know? For me, it's Joss Whedon, The 'Brains' behind the Twirl Bar and a little company called 'Nintendo'.
Yes, it's a 2D game, in the 3D era. Yes, it's largely based on the game-boy advance game, leaving a seemingly small room for advances in gameplay but no, that isn't the case. Make no mistake, this is the launch title for the DS it just stumbled onto our screens a month or two late. It's an excellent peice of software, and completely intune with its simplistic yet STUNNING graphics (on par with picasso, I would actually argue!), and literally a 'joy' to play! Buy it if you value happiness that doesn't involve a warm bed and a very good hangover.
Thankyou, as always, please indicate if you found this review helpful or remotely time-consuming.

Yoshi Touch and Go!, which seems like a kind of a spin-off from Yoshi Island (aka Super marioworld 2). Yoshi carries baby Mario, taking down enemies with his eggs. You just use the touch screen to make cloud paths, make Yoshi jump or throw eggs, trap enemies in a bubble. And also the microphone is used for getting rid of the clouds. No D-pad or button (apart from start button) is used.
Structured in an old arcade game type, where getting 'High Scores' are the main point of playing the games. There are different modes that you can show off your skills (by getting the highest score, going the longest distance, clearing in the shortest time, etc.) One simple mistake will lead you to the Game Over.
The game may sound a bit repetitive and boring, but actually it's not. It's highly addictive, really challenging and fun. Very easy to get the hang of the control but a large amount of time should be invested to master it. Very easy at the beginning(Endless Mode), but becomes incredibly difficult and fast as you progress. Overall, a very well constructed game on a simple creative idea.
I have got most of the great DS games, from Meteos, Super Mario Kart, Advance Wars, Kirby, NIntendogs and Tony Hawk. But the one keeps making me come back to play again is definately Yoshi!
