There’s even a wireless two-player game, classic Baby Mario Vs Baby Luigi (a rare appearance indeed) based around the walking aspect of the game complete with a Puo-style combo attack option. This requires only one cart and although it’s extremely basic it offers a great proving ground for seasoned players, able to throw up some surprises for the intuitive novice.
Summing up Catch! Touch! Yoshi! is harder than one might expect. It’s an annoying game in so many ways. Why did Nintendo not bother reworking the Yoshi’s Island sprites? Why did it abandon level design so completely? Why is the two-player game so rushed?
Perhaps the key question this game asks is: Why can’t we, and anyone exposed to Catch! Touch! Yoshi! put it down.

As with all game concepts that employ only a touch-panel, further iterations may be tiresome. As an inaugural offering however, is pure, pure gold. Or a big fat red coin.

Hmm...
Is this a positive review or a negative review? That game is great, I've played a Japanese version. But it's not amazing. It's not Nintendo standards.
The DS REALLY needs an amazing game round about now.
When's Metroid coming out....?

In real terms it gets a 9/10
That's pretty possitive.

Spong F'n rocks.
This is the way I like to read reviews. Honest reviews with plenty of gripes and a real-world, real-player perspective.
I'm an Australian and Nintendo Australia are a bunch of tossers so I have no idea when this is coming out. I'd like to play it. I'd like my friends to play it. I just know my girlfriend will love it - she still plays Bomberman on the GBA (DS) when i'm working on the computer.
Great stuff. Looking forward to it.
And Nintendogs.
And Meteos.
And MK online.
i'll stop.

Good review - I've got the US version (imported a few weeks back) and I love it to bits. You're right it really is a hardcore game - and it's proof that unforgiving gameplay is good if the game is genuinely fun and challenging to play.
One minor correction (it may well be different for the reviewed Jap version?), you don't have to repeat the falling stage every time... if you get killed at the end of the horiontal section then you get the option to start at the beginning of the horizontal section again, as if you'd just finished the vert section complete with the score you got.
