Catch Touch Yoshi Views

General Goods

Both of the games have a set number of permutations that are randomly dished out to players. On the plus side this gives the game pick up and playability with some variation in between. I mean you wouldn't want to keep playing through stage 1-1 every time you start the title up. Still, there just aren't that many different level sets. After playing through the Baby Mario portion a couple of times you'll be able to memorize the position of coins and where the spiky green balls of death are. Fortunately the Yoshi stages have a couple more variations. Although, even with these small changes gamers will see all Catch! Touch! Yoshi! has to offer in a single day.

Catch! Touch! Yoshi! doesn't have different levels or offer a world to explore. All you have to play with are four different modes: score attack, time attack, endless and challenge. No matter which mode you pick you'll be doing the same thing. Because of this he game can hardly be considered a platformer. It has more in kin to a simple handheld game with a touch screen, than any other Nintendo DS title. If you know someone else with a DS you can play a wireless multiplayer game. There is only one game to play and it's set in Yoshi's world. Its a race to see who can run further with their Yoshi. The game is an interesting diversion, but this doesn't extend replay value much either.

Initially I was really excited for Catch! Touch! Yoshi!. After spending some time with it, I realize that it isn't a game you're going to spend hours playing in a row. It's a good game to play when you need a quick gaming break or for a short car ride. It's a little disheartening, because Nintendo could have done so much more with this title. Maybe Yoshi's Touch & Go suffered from an onset of launch title syndrome like Pokemon Dash did. In any case there are other better, longer and flat out more entertaining titles out there for the DS.
