How would you fix the Yoshi series?

[Nebulon_Galaxy]

What would do on fixing this IP?
If Nintendo gave you a chance how would you improve this series from being a boring slog?

First of all, I’d turn it into a racing game.
Then I’d ditch Yoshi
I’d replace him with this cool guy named Captain Falcon
Then I’d replace other Yoshis with a cast of weird and wacky characters like Jodie Summers, The Skull, Black Shadow, and Bio Rex.
Then I’d change the title altogether and name it something like “F-Zero.”

Correction! Make an F-Zero game and add Yoshi as a racer!

If it ain't broke, I ain't fixin' it.

Just make Yoshi's Island 2.

And no, Yoshi's Island DS and Yoshi's New Island don't count here. I mean a proper Yoshi's Island 2 developed in the same way that the OG game was made (in-house using some of their best staff) and not outsourced to a third-party developer like Good-Feel.

Честное слово, мне 53 года, и я ни разу не играл ни в одну игру с Йоши. Я пробовал одну, где плач малыша Марио довёл меня до того, что я в бешенстве вышел из игры . Я ничего не имею против этого мелкого засранца — просто, насколько я помню, он никогда не фигурировал ни в чём, что меня бы по-настоящему увлекало. Слышал, правда, что та самая *Yoshi's Island* — очень даже ничего. Отлично, последняя фраза прозвучала как слова настоящего старого пердуна . Впрочем, как бы там ни было, этот «кто-бы-он-ни-был» — и правда очень милый.

Yoshi has always been aimed at a fairly young audience and have been fairly easy games (yes, even Yoshi's Island on the SNES was arguably easier than Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros. 3) outside of 100%-ing them.

I can understand the novelty of the original SNES entry but at that point we can admit we're not the audience for the series and/or that changing it would mean making something that isn't truly Yoshi.

And no, Yoshi's Island DS and Yoshi's New Island don't count here.

They're still technically sequels.


Or else should we turn it into a third person shooter, give Yoshi a gun and he fights demons from the depth of hell?

Yoshi Safari 2 but made by id Software?

Надо что-нибудь написать — терпеть не могу видеть этот синий огонек от этого парня у себя на странице форума. От него даже Тron плачет.

 

[Stare best girl]

add Yoshi in a Eternal Darkness game

Brutal Yoshi Safari.

Stop the babysitter and color swap BS and give him a proper adventure game with proven mechanics that doesn't play like a tech demo for the next Mario game.

 

[Megarockman _1987 Megarockman _1987]

mmmm a adventure game?
like a 2D open world "if it's possible to call it that" with connected lands and a lot of collectibles
what do you think?

 

[Rocket2049]

just do a remake of yoshi's island, the best yoshi game
also change that god awful new yoshi voice actor to something more like the original n64 games

 

[CJ64Bit]

"Is that you Birdo? I see Poochie roped you into this thing too"
"A princess's job is never done, we can talk more later. Kamek's castle is just up ahead."
"I thought I smelled something brewing."
"Focus up Yosh"

Might work. As long as the music doesnt lull me too sleep

Yoshi being a species with many colors is kind of part of the identity of the character.

Do we really need to turn everything into an Open World (or a metroidvania)?

People will complain about having too many remakes on the NS2.

What's wrong with the Yoshi games? They're on the simpler side and all very similar, but there's nothing wrong with that. You could really say the same thing about Kirby and Mario, but that doesn't diminish them.

not really
I mean a platform game but diferent worlds connectec like MMZ
not like a metroidvania just more like a collectaton 2D

I've got 2 possible solutions:
1. Bring this fella back

Or
2. Completely reboot the franchise, but replace Yoshi with Boshi

 

[CheesyExplosive]

Make yoshi's island 2... unless that already been made.

I'd introduce this really cute orange squirrel with a blue zip-up jacket and sneakers named Conker. He's an original character (please do not steal) who will swear and go on funny adventures. Getting hit will now remove one square from the player's new chocolate bar-shaped health bar instead of dropping baby Mario. Yoshi's tongue has been reworked into a frying pan (or spiked baseball bat). Instead of the little star things Yoshi used to collect, Conker (my original character) will collect money (living money). The worlds are no longer 2-dimensional with a defined end point but are now a more open-ended area with multiple things to do, usually involving helping one of the newly made colorful cast of characters with a problem they're having. To avoid copyright problems there will be no singing fecal matter.
