Yoshi’s Wooly World is adorable but can’t match Yoshi’s Island’s brilliance

Sometimes, a game is so good that it can actually become a problem.

I think that’s how Nintendo feels about Yoshi’s Island, the classic Super Nintendo platformer that many consider one of the greatest 2D side-scrollers ever made. Unfortunately, despite many attempts, sequels never matched the original’s brilliance. Yoshi’s Story, Yoshi’s Island DS, and Yoshi’s New Island have become afterthoughts.
