“Games – The Series”; is an adventure through the 16 bit era of games. This episode features gameplay and commentary by John. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island, originally released as Super Mario: Yossy Island (スーパーマリオ ヨッシーアイランド, Sūpā Mario: Yosshī Airando?) in Japan,[2] is a platform video game developed and published by Nintendo for the SNES console. Despite its title, this game serves as a prequel to all other games within the established Mario Bros timeline. While featuring Nintendo’s trademark Mario character, the game’s graphics and gameplay differed from all previous Mario games in that players control various Yoshi dinosaurs rather than Mario himself, who appears as a helpless infant. Yoshi’s Island was released on August 5, 1995 in Japan, October 4, 1995 in North America and October 6, 1995 in Europe. A port was made for the Game Boy Advance as Yoshi’s Island: Super Mario Advance 3. The game has yet to be announced to be ported for the Wii’s Virtual Console, however the game is slated for possible re-release on the Nintendo 3DS[citation needed]. A sequel for the Nintendo DS, Yoshi’s Island DS, was released in 2006.
