Best of E3 06: Nintendo DS

Yoshi's Island 2

Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
Release Date: Q4 2006

Nintendo's DS lineup is littered with remakes and sequels to classic games, but the one we're gunning for is Yoshi's Island 2. For the most part, it's a Mario game, but the bouncy, storybook world and egg-throwing Yoshis make it feel just different enough.

It's a reliable setup, but the SNES original remains one of the best 2D platformers of all time - no reason to think this one won't be up to the task as well. We played through an entire world at E3 and loved every second.
