4 color rebellion -Games You May Have Missed: Yoshi Touch and Go

One of my favorite things to do is to track down old video games that I missed when they were released. Most of the time I find Super Nintendo or Game Boy titles, but recently I have been moving toward more GameCube, GBA, and DS material. Often times I overlooked these games because they didn’t look so great in previews, or I passed them up because I was too busy with other games. Once I end up discovering some of these overlooked gems, however, I wonder how I ever could have thought that they wouldn’t be worth my time.

Recently, one game that’s really struck me this way is the sublime Yoshi Touch and Go for DS. Despite the praise that it receives here at 4cr from Nick Rumas, I’d never bothered with it until now. Five years later, I’m kicking myself over not trying it sooner.

To really get YTAG, it helps to watch the included demo video. It helps to show you just how deep the mechanics are for this game. Until you’ve seen someone good play, you can’t understand it.
