I'd absolutely love to see the SNES version of Yoshi's Island released on VC as the GBA version didn't do it justice, particularly with that tiny screen.
I honestly consider it to be one, if not the most perfect platform game ever created. The artwork in the game still looks great, the level design is fantastic, the variety of enemies is fantastic. It's also one of the very, very few games that have ever made me laugh out loud. I dare anyone to get through "Touch Fuzzy: Get Dizzy" for the first time without bursting into laughter, or the sight of Yoshi morphing into a helicopter!
With regards to the difficulty of emulating the Super FX chips, it wouldn't be as difficult a task for Nintendo's programmers as it would be for someone writing an unofficial SNES emulator as Nintendo have got the technical manual off the blokes who created it and don't have to rely on trying to back-engineer it.
I wouldn't be surprised if Yoshi's Island wasn't one of the big Christmas releases on the VC, along with Super Mario Kart it is conspicuous in it's absence. |
